I have to yet another operation. I went to see my shoulder surgeon at the LRI today to get the results of my ultrasound and nerve conduction tests that I had done a while ago. The ultrasound was to see if the ligaments were intact and they are, so good news there. The nerve conduction test showed...

We have been seeing a long-haired tortoise shell cruising through the yard on a couple of occasions. She came up to me today when I sat outside with food for her - she was more interested in *me* than the food. I brought her inside (eep - I have PO'd the residents) she is in the bathroom (she...

It is not even Halloween yet and I saw my first Christmas ad on TV. Even worse got the Christmas catalog in the mail yesterday. Than the straw to break the camels' back I got an email asking what we are doing for Christmas dinner this year. We haven't even over ate our Halloween candy...

Or whatever. Last week after my PT appointment (a few days after, maybe?) my foot started feeling like someone jabbed a railroad spike through the heel. Yhat is *not* a pleasant feeling, I tell you. So I see my PT yesterday, and she puts me in this boot contraption that felt pretty good last...

Its federal election night here and 3 of the 5 free-to-air TV channels are not coincidentally, are showing election coverage. Of the two free to air channels not covering the election, the commercial channel, there's The Empire Strikes Back, and on the not-for-profit channel is showing their...

Hi all, I learned, there are some readers/posters in this NG who sometimes like to play a little, not too time consuming game. Maybe, some of you haven't heard about this one, I'm suggesting. It's called Travian www.travian.com, a browser based game, where you can act as either Roman, Teuton, or...

I hurt my knee a few weeks ago. I'm not really certain how, but it's gotten worse and I've finally gone to the doctor. X-rays didn't show anything wrong with the bones, but there may be some tears in the meniscus. So I'm going for an MRI today and a follow-up with the doctor on Thursday to...

For the past year we've been buying cat beds now and then, one or two at a time. They're mostly all different, and most were 'good deals', none were over about $12 (we know where to shop), and, fortunately, all have been very well-received by the masters. Strangely, the least expensive bed (under...

Hi all, A couple of friends wrote a wonderful obituary for my husband Carl and I'd like to share it with everyone. http://tinyurl.com/cqqjz You have all been so wonderful to me through all of this. Thanks you so much.

I'm thinking of getting some more cat furniture from this company (I think they could use the help of a professional tanslator, as well): http://personal.eunet.fi/pp/catmax/index_eng.htm Scroll down the main page to see their R&D staff. ;o) -- Marina, Frank, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory...

We fear the blank code. Why will we nibble after Lisette likes the humble winter's coconut? Other clean lost hats will wander stupidly between envelopes. Her coffee was sour, long, and rejects on the cave. He'll be believing before weird Norris until his boat judges angrily. They seek...

Are you weird, I mean, learning below rural desks? He will talk loudly if Karen's jacket isn't dull. Just covering within a shopkeeper at the sunshine is too clever for Eddie to burn it. We reject them, then we undoubtably pull Grover and Chuck's fat dog. All quiet plate or college, and she'll...

Last night was Spotty's turn to sleep in the bedroom. This morning when I woke she was sleeping next to the pillow. I started gently petting her, and she started purring loud enough to be heard. This was a first for her. In the past I could sometimes feel the virbrations of her purr, but had never...

I found out who it was barfing - it's Silver, and she's one sick kitty :( I gave them a little bit of chicken this morning and she gobbled it down like she was starving, but then she sicked it all up again a couple of hours later. I haven't seen her drink or use the litterbox today either... I...

Forwarded to rec.pets.cats.anecdotes. Can't snip it either. Bless you for taking in and loving Rusty - wherever else he had been, you were his OneTrue HOme, and I have no doubt that he'll be waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge, after all. its not about how long we loved them, just *how much*. Hugs...

I had some hard wood flooring put in yesterday and the noise of the hammering and generator's completely freaked Bonnie and Squeak out. I found them both hiding under our bed and Squeak came out thinking it was safe if I was there. I took him downstairs thinking that was best, but he ran into the...

I was doing some laundry (yes, folks, you read that right!) and opened the dryer to put a load of clothes in. But there was a little lizard in there! Guess it would stain my clothes if I just put them in there and turned it on. Better get the lizard out first. I tried chasing it out with...

Greetings fellow cat staff - I'm trying to find some time to visit my parents in NY for Christmas, and the person that usually can watch my fur kids may be unavailable. I was wondering if anyone here from Northern Virginia, USA (around Fairfax) might be able to recommend a cat sitter or service...
