Having raised a pair of daughters who are know for their good dispositions, I know there are things they save just for Mommy. Isn't that the truth. Lately she has been doing her best to convince me that she's a rude, mean, self-centered snot. So far, she's succeeding. Pam S. worried |

ink.net... I don't know if I can wait that long. I really don't expect Mandy to have children. They don't give epidurals in the first month. Pam S. ROTFLMAO!! You got that right, my Erin was the same way - she cried and screamed and carried on like a 2-year-old once when she was 17 and had to get 2 shots in the ER (granted they were a burning medication, but boy howdy, kid, wait till childbirth!). Thankfully she grew up to be a wonderful, caring, loving, and wise mom! All your hard work *will* pay off in the end! Hugs, CatNipped |

I expected to walk into her bedroom and see her head spinning in circles and pea soup being spewed from her mouth!!! She didn't become human again until she had kids of her own!

Very cute story -- when my kids were little the bottom half of the tree was
definitely unbreakable ornaments! The kitties we have have raised the bar another notch however... Christine "FibbersCloset" wrote in message ... This reminds me of a posting I did several years ago. Cast of Characters: DD - age 4 at the time DC3 - three calicos aged 3 at the time Mom - age not available... We went to the basement to find the decorations for the tree. DD wanted to take everything up. Mom wanted to haul up the bare minimum (lights, angel, and the can of unbreakable Christmas ornaments). DD left Mom to hunt and went to other end of basement to play on DH's drum set. Hauled stuff upstairs. Discovered that angel was not in can marked "angel and lights." Returned to basement. Looked through every box marked Christmas. Twice. Discovered a bunch of Christmas stuff in an unmarked box. Note to self: mark boxes better when we put things away in January. In the meantime, got totally distracted with all of the other "stuff" in basement. Went back upstairs with angel. D*** cats (three of them -- hereafter referred to as DC3) escaped into basement. Returned to basement to retrieve them. Back to tree. While Mom untangled lights, DD opened box of ornaments and unwrapped every one, dumping them all in a pile on the floor. Mom did angel and wrapped lights. DC3 chased ends of light strands. Mom and DD wrapped pearls and ribbons. DC3 chased ends. DD became irate with DC3. The style of decorating is not a classic one. The pearls and ribbons are a minimum fuss with maximum effect plan to make DD happy and decorate fast. All ornaments are unbreakable. Not because of DD (who understands fragile and breakable) but for DC3. We bought a heavier, sturdier stand this year in hopes that no tree disasters would occur. We can also resort to tying it up with fishing line. Mom's mantra during whole process ("We are not trying to be Martha Stewart. We are trying to have a tree DD will be happy with.") Mom decided Christmas music would add to atmosphere. Discovered all Christmas CDs are in DH's truck. Decided to play radio instead, didn't turn down volume and caused DD to literally fall to floor from blast of music. DD tired of process and started talking about snack. Mom finished decorating with half the ornaments -- the rest went back into the box. Mom turned out room lights and sat with DD on her lap to admire tree (this is the best part). Dena "CatNipped" wrote in message ... Cast of Characters: Sammy - 7-month-old female kitten Mommy - MUCH older female human After much contemplation and mental anguish, Mommy decides that she will not let Sammy's, er, boisterousness prevent her from the joy she gets in putting up a Christmas tree. Very amusing story snipped |

reading this conversation, I must say I met a lovely little girl on the
train the other night, when coming back from a visit toVicky, she was 18 and looked about15 and I thought to myself that she was very much like the 18 yr olds of my generation, we were not so self assured as even some of the 16 yr olds of roday, she was so sweet too asked me if I needed help off the train, nothank you are you ok ? do you want me to walk you out of the station? and she still had a long bus journey to Ashfield. I told her I was ok, but I thought she was a really sweet girl, and I was happy to have met her. Jean.P. Tanada wrote in message ink.net...

She is the sweetest, brightest, most friendly kid I have ever met) As soon as I can buy a carrier big enough, I'll ship her out. Pam S. laughing |

Most of them are lovely, like this girl was. It's just the minority that spoil it. A few weeks ago, I was weeding my front garden. Kitty came out to help, but she spotted a couple of girls across the street. Scritch tart that she is, she went over to them. They sat on the sidewalk and petted her for ages. I kept on trying to get my garden under control.whilst watching my cat. One of the girls came over to me and said very politely "Excuse me, do you know who this cat might belong to?" I said "Yes, she's mine.." However....it was not very long later that these two girls found a dog that was was missing, came to my house to borrow a lead for it, and got it back to its owner. It had been panicked by something and run away the previous day. The owners were ecstatic to get him back. That's teenagers for you. They are just awful. Tweed |
