If you love cats there's always something to talk about. It may be your
car or cat you've known, a book about cats you've read or a cat you see
in the street. We love to hear about cats. Just add something or
respond to a post that interested you.

I'm pretty sure I'll always be here, checking in and chuckling at all our
little kitty antics.

Me too. I look forward to logging on after I've finished my chores or
sometimes before I've started.

I'll keep checking in, as long as anybody is posting.

I've seen a number of posts every day, many of them directly related to
cats.

Using a GOOD news service (something OTHER than GoogleGroups)
will result is far less garbage, and better content.


That doesn't change the fact that there have been very few posts. Even
Mark Edwards has disappeared.

That is the way the group is been times over these many year that the
group had only one or two post a week or month than hundreds the next. News
groups have died social media drowns it out now.

As for me, I met someone 18 months ago. I asked her to marry me last week
our wedding date is June of next year. She has a beautiful young daughter
that now calls me dad. She watched her dad die slowly of cancer 7 years ago
and she has not attached to or dealt with any male figure until me.

I have lost 211 pounds I am with in 50 pounds of my goal. From a 7xl down to
a 2xl. Shirts from a 24 down to a 18.5. I feel fantastic. I plan on
entering my first 5k marathon here soon.

I just started into a new business of security. So I am at home every night
with them and my daughter has the feeling of being safe that her dad is home
when she goes to sleep at night.

So many of us may be caught up in life I just sat down for a few minutes to
the computer and said let me look at the news group today than saw this post

Have a great day everyone,
)o( Matthew


That brings a big smile to my face. Real life does intrude sometimes,
which is not to say that this special place isn't real either.

One of the last posts I saw from Mark indicated he had met a nice lady
and was spending time with her (and her son?). Real life has a way of
intruding.

This is an old post, but I have to respond - I thought Mark was married...
Have I misunderstood?

Maybe I was thinking of Matthew. shrug Hard to keep up when people
only post sporadically. I'm glad to see you're back and playing
catch-up, Joyce.

OK, I was just thinking, "Was I wrong all this time, thinking that Senyah
was Mark's wife? You think you know someone!"
