Peticure & Other Stuff
The subject of this thread is "Peticure & Other Stuff". Who knew the Other Stuff would turn out to be the 1986 World Series? "Kreisleriana" wrote: The first baseman let a ground ball go through his legs, allowing the winning run to score. Though few people are aware of it, the Bill Buckner error probably had no effect on the outcome of the Series. The Red Sox would have lost that game anyway. The record throughout the post-season, for both clubs, was that each time they brought in their "closer" and he was ineffective, they lost the game. The '86 World Series was a contest between two managers to see who could mis-handle their pitching staffs most disastrously. John MacNamara eventually out-dueled Davy Johnson, but it was a close contest. -- Wayne M. |

Well, as a Mets fan, I tend to see that outcome more that way, also-- in terms of the Mets offense waking up, and putting pressure on the shakiness of Schiraldi and Hurst. -- Theresa, Stinky and Dante drtmuirATearthlink.net Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh The '86 World Series was a contest between two managers to see who could mis-handle their pitching staffs most disastrously.

Hi guys, Haven't been here for quite a while. Firstly, condolences to all who have had to say goodbye to furkids (it was 3 years yesterday that my Mookie went to RB, so it's been a crappy weekend in that regard, and I'm so sorry for your losses). I couldn't make it 2 months after Mookie left without a cat in the house. We went to the MSPCA and brought home Jasmine (lengthened to Princess Yasmina, then shortened to Meena), a little black kitty with the shortest legs I've ever seen. Meena sounds like such a sweetheart. I know what you mean about the comfort a kitten can give when you lose a loved one. First Mir and then Caliban made life bearable after I lost Nikki and Frank. Caliban the Clown, especially. You can't stay sad when you have to laugh at kitten antics all the time. Welcome back! Hope you can stick around. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

She's a real mama's girl and I love her to pieces. She sounds like an angel of a kitty! When I cry my eyes out (thankfully not recently), my cats don't even seem to notice. You're lucky, you have a real sweetheart. I'd be interested in hearing testimonials about it, too. I've seen ads on TV about it, and I'm intrigued. My cats hate having their claws clipped. Stinky put up with it for years, but he recently just decided "Wait-- you're sticking needles in me every day, and you're gonna clip my claws TOO?? Lady, I love you, but up with this I will not put. Leave me some dignity, babe!" And I'm inclined to agree with him, except that his claws have to be clipped. And Dante is just a very difficult shape to get hold of-- big and round-- and slippery, when he wants. Ridiculous creature. So, yes, I'd also be interested in hearing anything people have tried that works. I saw a thing in the Drs. Foster & Smith catalog in which you wrap the cat up in something akin to a sleeping bag/mummy wrapping with the front paws sticking out. Then you trim their nails. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...59&pcatid=3159 or http://tinyurl.com/3bjg5o I can't figure out how they expect anyone to get the cat bundled into such a contraption in the first place. They've never seen me try to get Persia into her carrier. LOL Jill |

But it soon became clear that if I couldn't hold him to give him the damn fluids, there was no way I could wrestle him into *that* thing. -- Theresa, Stinky and Dante drtmuirATearthlink.net Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh |

A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-Y. Went with my dad to some Red Sox Florida games but only
to one game at Fenway BUT it was the second to last game of the Impossible Dream season. What a game! Charleen "Kreisleriana" wrote in message ... "Charleen Welton" wrote in message ng.com... EEEEK, UMass Amherst! My older daughter, a high school senior at the time, was invited to a Halloween party there to which I drove her and her friends would drive her back. I insisted on walking her to her friend's room. Well that was the famous Halloween Party of the early 1980's. I'm not easily rattled but saw things that knocked my socks off! Who'd a thunk! My gracious and other things! What an experience. It was a historical event for sure. Charleen So it goes without saying that you belong to Sawx Nation, right? -- Theresa, Stinky and Dante drtmuirATearthlink.net Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh |
