Rubberband Monster

Say, CAT, do you or your son have anything like a yahoo-type email addy? I
would like to communicate off the ng. If son knows of any low-traffic
chatrooms that would do.

Awwww, how cute! Mike's most favorite bestest toy **ever** is rubber
bands; however, he can never, never have them, because after he kills
them he *eats* them. If he ever finds one I have to watch him like a
hawk until he's distracted for a nanosecond, and grab it quick and
sneak it into the trash.

I used to enjoy watching Skeeter play with rubber bands, until I saw her
start chewing on one. Now I try to keep them away from her. :-(

At least they don't eat it! I have to keep all rubberbands in my
house completely inaccessible to Roxy or she'll chew it into little
pieces. I don't like to think where the missing parts went!

If you are both members of catslaves, you could do worse than use the
catslaves chat room (nobody uses it these days). Or you could just IM each
other.

Hopitus, I just tried sending you an email; but it came back as
unknown. So, maybe you ought to try sending to me. My email is
pepsicola5cents at bigsandytelco dot com. Sorry, we don't do
chatrooms.

What on earth is a broomstick skirt?

Aww, they're just trying to protect you from those evil greebling-larvae.

Broomstick skirt, for Gen-X & Y's, or the curious, was popular some time
ago: multiple sharp pleats created by wrapping light-material skirt tightly
around a broomstick and secure that way, letting it dry into tight
wrinkle/pleats.

I used to have one and it came with instructions to twist it up and then tie
it into a knot for storage. Kept the winkles really well that way.
