fuzzy musings of the affectionate type
Well, I'm reading the newsgroup for the first time in weeks Real life
has basically limited my newsgroup activities to scanning the threads and doing what I can offline to offer condolences. I know this a really crappy was to treat my friends who really need to have proof that we care. I promise I will try to do better in the future. Right off the bat let me say that I have a very safe, very sturdy candle lit to help guide Omni to the Bridge and another sturdy candle lit for little Happy Puppy and one for Pam's neighbor's doggie named Clitoris....that's ot right, Pam where are you? Oh! Cayla. Purrs on the way for Cayla and her human family. I hope their suffering is short lived and in time they can turn their grief to happy memories. (reminder to self: do not post on ngs after taking 10 mg ambien and drinking a Capt Morgan and coke. Expecially on a 1,000 calorie diet. - oh well, too late) CHERYL, You should be ashamed. You wrote a delightful little ditty about Shadow which stuck in my head for two days now. I'll probably wake up in the morning singing "If I only had a meow" I had to take Selena and Lacey to Ted last weekend (Selena for Depo and Lacey for vacs). There was a cat there that could only Ma. He was a good size cat and he was sitting in the middle of his carrier saying "Ma", Ma" His slave said she's heard him say MaMa before. roflol! This is almost as silly as being stoned. The Toys R Us Easter commercial just came on. Does anyone else love that commercial? If you haven't seen it there is a toy store showroom full of white bunnies singing "Here comes Peter Cottontail....." Geoffry the giraffe says "all right, all right, we'll have an Easter sale, just please, somebody makkkee themmm stttoooppp." DH and I just burst out laughing whenever we see it. Krista, I love your office cats. They are absolutely loverly! They seem to have such personality, but I would suggest you begin looking for a detox center for their future Of course Dave can always intervene with the judge if necessary. Mikey looks absolutely adorable in his lovey state. I know it worries you but he's so sweet. Oliver, Bratcat Lacey thinks you are adorable with your little white blaze on your forehead. She's a little older at 4 y/o and a bit of a brat but she's also a lovebug. Maybe you can meet her during this year's Pirate Voyage. I'm sure she would love to learn to hunt at the paws of Nikki. Victor, I sent purrs for Tubby cat and was so very sorry to learn of his journey to the Bridge. I'm sure it was heartbreaking for everyone who knew such a special cat. I enjoyed the memorial you posted and we have sent our purrs and prayers to Tubby's family and friends. btw Victor. Do you think I could borrow Tom for the spring and summer? I really would like to get my yard in shape and just don't know where to start. I'm sure he'd enjoy the challenge eg. Just think Tom, 1 1/4 acres of out of control asian wisteria, spiera, something that has been allowed to volunteer for the past 3 years and has taken over a great part of the yard. Then there is the vinca minor that is out of control and the violets. Such fun. Oh Victor! How did things go at work requesting a promotion? Ginger-lyn, what a frightening experience you had with Cosmo and Internet. I'm so pleased that it turned out without more serious consequences. I'm sure you were totally exhausted when it was all over. Exocat, sorry I'm deliberately ignoring your lame joke (but can't wait to pass it along) There were so many more posts that I have read that I know I'm forgetting. Please do not feel I am ignoring you. I have enjoyed reading the posts although I have had to skip some of the longer threads such as Mom - how many directions did that thread take, lol! My group is doing well. All three are getting along well. We've been racing almost every weekend and they're having to spend a lot of time together without us and I think that has forced them to bond tighter. Hobbes and Lacey aren't fighting nearly as much. They were doing the staring leads to a fight act but seem to be able to lie near each other now without staring and hissing. Racing hasn't gone well. We've been hit twice at two different tracks which caused suspension damage and really messed up the handling on the race car. Open wheel cars don't react very well to wheel-to-wheel contact with another car. Then we finally got the car handling and Rusty was on the pole at our last race and on the pace lap the steering box broke resulting in no steering. Fortunately it was on the pace lap so they weren't going very fast. It could have had disastrous results had he taken the green and turned into the first turn at about 90 mph and lost steering. Work is busy. My boss has been named the Associate Director of The Emory Clinic and Assistant Dean of Clinical Affairs at Emory University. We spent the past two months preparing for interviews, etc. I doubt things are going to slow down in the future but at least we have a bit of a break in racing so I have the weekends to devote to the cats. hmmm, the ambien is kicking in so I think I'll say good night. Hugs to everyone who needs them then more hugs to all of you my friends. Yowie, I'll be sending a special email to you but congratulations to you and Joel and welcome young Cary. I'm so very glad that things went well with the delivery. I'm really impressed with what can be done with epidurals. My nephew was born with a congenital defect in which his ribcage grew convexed (is that a word?) Anyhow, the ribcage was taking up the room that his heart needed to grow. The doctors surgically broke all of his ribs when he was 4 and put a plate in his chest to redirect the growth of the bones. They kept him on an epidural for several weeks and he never felt any pain. Absolutely amazing! Oh! I almost forgot, Hazel, Hobbes sends tender headbutts to Dorrie for her birthday and all three send headbutts and purrs to both for their special day. We also send headbutts and purrs to everyone who has celebrated birthdays, purr days, adoption days and anniversaries lately. I'm so very sorry I haven't been able to send those messages at the appropriate time. I promise I'll try to do better in the future. Love you all, Julie |

They are not getting along today, apparently, and I've had to go in the lobby and yell "Both of you, I want to see some behaving kitties right now!!" which causes Ozzy to come try to suck up to me and Tiger to skitter out the door. Cats, sheesh. ------ Krista PS: We missed you! |

Love you all, Julie Oliver thinks Lacey is a beautiful name and wonders where he can see some pictures of the beautiful girl that must belong to such a beautiful name? It will be interesting if he reacts. He really didn't seem interested in Helen S's Francis. Ah, ambien. I took 10 mg a few years ago and saw a Tyrannosaurus Rex in my bedroom. I tried it again recently and it didn't work for me at all. I never slept. I'll have to introduce the Ambien to Capt. Morgan. That should work!! I recently introduced Capt. Morgan to Dr. Pepper and they became such good friends they're now known around here as Capt. Pepper! Good luck with the racing. Glad Rusty wasn't hurt with that last mishap! My Dad is retired and spends some of his free time helping one of my brother's friends who races stock cars. He loves being on the crew and being in the pit during the races.

I really would like to get my yard in shape and just don't know where to start. I'm sure he'd enjoy the challenge eg. Just think Tom, 1 1/4 acres of out of control asian wisteria, spiera, something that has been allowed to volunteer for the past 3 years and has taken over a great part of the yard. Then there is the vinca minor that is out of control and the violets. Such fun. Oh Victor! How did things go at work requesting a promotion? Ginger-lyn, what a frightening experience you had with Cosmo and Internet. I'm so pleased that it turned out without more serious consequences. I'm sure you were totally exhausted when it was all over. Exocat, sorry I'm deliberately ignoring your lame joke (but can't wait to pass it along) There were so many more posts that I have read that I know I'm forgetting. Please do not feel I am ignoring you. I have enjoyed reading the posts although I have had to skip some of the longer threads such as Mom - how many directions did that thread take, lol! My group is doing well. All three are getting along well. We've been racing almost every weekend and they're having to spend a lot of time together without us and I think that has forced them to bond tighter. Hobbes and Lacey aren't fighting nearly as much. They were doing the staring leads to a fight act but seem to be able to lie near each other now without staring and hissing. Racing hasn't gone well. We've been hit twice at two different tracks which caused suspension damage and really messed up the handling on the race car. Open wheel cars don't react very well to wheel-to-wheel contact with another car. Then we finally got the car handling and Rusty was on the pole at our last race and on the pace lap the steering box broke resulting in no steering. Fortunately it was on the pace lap so they weren't going very fast. It could have had disastrous results had he taken the green and turned into the first turn at about 90 mph and lost steering. Work is busy. My boss has been named the Associate Director of The Emory Clinic and Assistant Dean of Clinical Affairs at Emory University. We spent the past two months preparing for interviews, etc. I doubt things are going to slow down in the future but at least we have a bit of a break in racing so I have the weekends to devote to the cats. hmmm, the ambien is kicking in so I think I'll say good night. Hugs to everyone who needs them then more hugs to all of you my friends. Yowie, I'll be sending a special email to you but congratulations to you and Joel and welcome young Cary. I'm so very glad that things went well with the delivery. I'm really impressed with what can be done with epidurals. My nephew was born with a congenital defect in which his ribcage grew convexed (is that a word?) Anyhow, the ribcage was taking up the room that his heart needed to grow. The doctors surgically broke all of his ribs when he was 4 and put a plate in his chest to redirect the growth of the bones. They kept him on an epidural for several weeks and he never felt any pain. Absolutely amazing! Oh! I almost forgot, Hazel, Hobbes sends tender headbutts to Dorrie for her birthday and all three send headbutts and purrs to both for their special day. We also send headbutts and purrs to everyone who has celebrated birthdays, purr days, adoption days and anniversaries lately. I'm so very sorry I haven't been able to send those messages at the appropriate time. I promise I'll try to do better in the future. Love you all, Julie Oliver thinks Lacey is a beautiful name and wonders where he can see some pictures of the beautiful girl that must belong to such a beautiful name? It will be interesting if he reacts. He really didn't seem interested in Helen S's Francis. Ah, ambien. I took 10 mg a few years ago and saw a Tyrannosaurus Rex in my bedroom. I tried it again recently and it didn't work for me at all. I never slept. I'll have to introduce the Ambien to Capt. Morgan. That should work!! I recently introduced Capt. Morgan to Dr. Pepper and they became such good friends they're now known around here as Capt. Pepper! Good luck with the racing. Glad Rusty wasn't hurt with that last mishap! My Dad is retired and spends some of his free time helping one of my brother's friends who races stock cars. He loves being on the crew and being in the pit during the races. Margaret (who is going in search of Capt. Morgan since the sun is definitely over the yardarm. -- Margaret Fine |

I should amend this . I didn't take it to *get* stoned a few weeks
ago. Rather, to hold off some serious kickass nightmares revolving further death of family members. I'm still having them. Grace PS: Hoping the racing will get better Julie. Jody's getting a stock bassboat racing bug too so I may very well be in the same boat (pardon the pun) a few years from now. Thought about you last week, we had squirrels all over the place "GraceCat" wrote in message ... Been there!!! Done that!!! Except the ceiling rippled, the carpet moved and there were bugs *everywhere*. A few nights later my posters came alive... I made sure to start breaking those puppies in half.. The last time they stoned me was when I was already exhausted and I took one anyway, the day we buried my MIL. Grace "Julie Snowshoe" wrote in message ... Well, I'm reading the newsgroup for the first time in weeks Real life has basically limited my newsgroup activities to scanning the threads and doing what I can offline to offer condolences. I know this a really crappy was to treat my friends who really need to have proof that we care. I promise I will try to do better in the future. Right off the bat let me say that I have a very safe, very sturdy candle lit to help guide Omni to the Bridge and another sturdy candle lit for little Happy Puppy and one for Pam's neighbor's doggie named Clitoris....that's ot right, Pam where are you? Oh! Cayla. Purrs on the way for Cayla and her human family. I hope their suffering is short lived and in time they can turn their grief to happy memories. (reminder to self: do not post on ngs after taking 10 mg ambien and drinking a Capt Morgan and coke. Expecially on a 1,000 calorie diet. - oh well, too late) CHERYL, You should be ashamed. You wrote a delightful little ditty about Shadow which stuck in my head for two days now. I'll probably wake up in the morning singing "If I only had a meow" I had to take Selena and Lacey to Ted last weekend (Selena for Depo and Lacey for vacs). There was a cat there that could only Ma. He was a good size cat and he was sitting in the middle of his carrier saying "Ma", Ma" His slave said she's heard him say MaMa before. roflol! This is almost as silly as being stoned. The Toys R Us Easter commercial just came on. Does anyone else love that commercial? If you haven't seen it there is a toy store showroom full of white bunnies singing "Here comes Peter Cottontail....." Geoffry the giraffe says "all right, all right, we'll have an Easter sale, just please, somebody makkkee themmm stttoooppp." DH and I just burst out laughing whenever we see it. Krista, I love your office cats. They are absolutely loverly! They seem to have such personality, but I would suggest you begin looking for a detox center for their future Of course Dave can always intervene with the judge if necessary. Mikey looks absolutely adorable in his lovey state. I know it worries you but he's so sweet. Oliver, Bratcat Lacey thinks you are adorable with your little white blaze on your forehead. She's a little older at 4 y/o and a bit of a brat but she's also a lovebug. Maybe you can meet her during this year's Pirate Voyage. I'm sure she would love to learn to hunt at the paws of Nikki.
