Nipsy, Scooter, and Baby are well, and Marlo is still living at mom's house. We just had mom's 90th birthday party. I'm happy to read that most people and kitties are ok. I haven't read anything about Mark though. I'll scan for something about him. I do have something to announce. Most people wouldn't appreciate it.... OK, a bit of history, and excuse me if you remember this. After poor Sammy died, too young and very fast from kidney disease, I went through the usual "I can't bear to get another cat...well, maybe I'll just visit the shelter" routine, and did eventually visit a shelter looking for a companion for me and the rather plump and elderly Cinnamon. As a result a skinny black short-haired young adult female moved in. It didn't go well. I've introduced cats before, and I tried every trick I knew and looked on the Internet for more. Cinnamon spent time living under the loveseat, not wanting to leave even to get to the litter box. Kerry started over-grooming, which of course triggered more vet visits and trials of suggested cures. My apartment has an odd layout - long and narrow. Eventually, I got Cinnamon established in the bedroom at one end and Kerry in the living area at the other. Time passed. I was able to leave the bedroom door open, and even move Cinnamon's litter box back in the large closet - it's alleged to be a bedroom; it's a good size for a couple of litter boxes, spare little, cat food (locked in a closet) etc. Cinnamon was rarely seen outside her room; Kerry only went in there at night (I think she got lonely). Yesterday, I went to the bedroom to put away some laundry, and did a double-take. Both cats were stretched out on the bed! Not next to each other, but not one of them in the back of the closet and the other at the food bowl, or sleeping on the laundry either. It's only been a couple of years. If we all live long enough, they may start cuddling!! Congrats on the new addition! Best of luck that Cinnamon and Kerry eventually become fast friends! Jill |

Jill If you are talking about Mark Edwards, there was an update on RPCA facebook. He is in a nursing home and sharing a room with his wife. He has limited internet and I haven't seen any posts from him. Ann |

I haven't seen any posts here for a couple of days. Help! After years of using newsgroups, I suddenly have lost the ability to send a new message. As you can see, I can reply to messages, just can't see how to write a new one. Can anyone help? I won't be able to see answers for a few days because I am scheduled for eye surgery on Tuesday.

As for not being able to post a new message, it looks like you're using Thunderbird. There should be a Write button on your messaging toolbar. Jill |

My eye surgery went well. The main problem was finding the admissions office at Mother Frances Hospital. There is an incredible amount of construction and crowding surrounding the hospital. However, my surgeon (retinal specialist) was very pleased with the results. I can continue with home health care exercises (physical therapy) starting on Monday, and I can start driving next week.
