So I'm sitting here whining to myself ...

Dear OJ and the rest of the group,

I want you all to know that I enjoy reading ALL your stories. I just wish
that I had more time to work on my catpage. As it is, I am incredibly behind
with adding new stories, I have about 300 to add!

So, if you'd like your own chapter on my website in the CAT PHILES section
(http://www.flippyscatpage.com/catphiles.html), please speak up!

Or if you'd like to add a story, poem, or anecdote to the catpage, please
email it to me directly - I will be happy to include it.

Purrs to all,
--

Hi All,

So I'm sitting here whining to myself that I seemed to have gotten
relatively few follow-ups to my last two stories. I knew that I had
satisfied myself with them by the time they were finished, but where
were the precious add-on articles telling me how full of pathos was
the story of Puss Puss' year on the streets as an old bag lady. Where
were the kind words remarking on my exposition of the tricks of my
Smokey man who'd prefer to get picked up than leap to the top of a
counter on his own? Whine! Whine! Whine!

And all this whining on a day when the keeper of a web page of cat
stories asked if I would consent to have my story of Smokey as the
bos'n of the good ship Mouser published on his web page. Jeeeeezzz -
some people are hard to please. The webmaster already has some
stories up from one among our number. Several of Jill Mcquown's
articles grace the web site too. You can see it at
http://blakjak.com/sty_menu.htm
My stories should be up in a day or two, but hopefully you've already
seen them.

But seriously folks -- no, really -- a friend and true Net Ghod from
another newsgroup told me long ago the some of his best stuff goes
begging for a follow-up or a complimentary email. He warned me to
expect the same. I know this has been discussed in another thread,
but let me say it again, as much to remind myself as to counsel anyone
else. If you're happy with the story, publish it and feel satisfied
that it will likely be enjoyed by most of those who read it. If you
garner any compliments, that's a bonus, not a payoff.

Well, now I've made myself feel better. You'd think an adult would
find that easy. Right!

Regards and thanks for putting up with me,
O J

Ahhhhh, but, does one ever become fully adult? I'm over 40 and still have
plenty of immature moments.

Eh, if I ever grow up completley I give full permission to anyone to slap me
silly with a soggy halibut.

I figure the sign of true maturity is to understand when its ok to act
totally immature. If I ever stop loving to swing high on swings, splash in
puddles, see things in clouds and blow bubbles in my milkshakes, then I may
as well be dead.

I hope to be splashing in puddles when I'm 93 (and wearing purple hats too).

As the humor columnist Dave Barry once wrote: "What I look forward to
is continued immaturity, followed by death."

(Do the folks outside the USA get Dave's columns? He's hysterical.)

Joyce - hitting the half-century mark on 9/18, and as immature as ever!
