wrote: I'm sure she will :-). I wouldn't mind if she's not climbing on my lap right now. I can be very patient with animals. Years ago I took an abused cat in, and it took a year before he trusted me enough to be in the same room with me. I tell you, it's the most rewarding thing to happen :-) Just what I was thinking. I think the most rewarding things sometimes comes from cats who are so leary when they first arrive. Course sometimes they never become really social cats, but it's enough that we can make them safe, and maybe in time they WILL jump up on our lap and give us a purr - Rocky (RB) finally did and it was a GREAT day. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Spot with loving memories of Rocky (RB) [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |

Of course we remember you, Petra! The posts on rpca are really so numerous

Hi. Petra Please excuse the top post. Where are you from in Germany? My best friend is German, we mail almost daily and visit each other regularly. She lives in the Wendland. She was last here 4 weeks ago. We first met on a chicken group. Not many Germans post to English speaking groups, as she said, she was the only one. She'd be interested if I told her another German was posting to my cat group. Welcome back, btw. Too many questions, eh. ;-) Tweed "Petra Zinnen" wrote in message ...

... Hi. Petra Please excuse the top post. You know, if you worry about top posting, I can only say that it is not necessary to quote, either... Just quote as much as you think is essential to your reply... -- Hans A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is it such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.

She was last here 4 weeks ago. I'm from Northrhein-Westfalia (Nordrhein-Westfalen), near the border to the Netherlands, the Wendland is north from here. Here's the map: http://www.deutschland.de/aufeinenbl...rte.php?lang=1 Look at Nordrhein-Westfalen, picture my hometown (Herne) right in the middle of this. Well, the Wendland you'll find at the crossing of the borders of Niedersachsen, Brandenburg, Sachsen-Anhalt and Mecklenburg Vorpommern. I think, it's about 450 to 500 km away from here. We first met on a chicken group. Not many Germans post to English speaking groups, as she said, she was the only one. Yes, that's true. I only know of one other German, reading rpca, but being silent mostly, just as I am ;-). I'm sort of a regular in a german newsgroup but there's not nearly as much postings as there are here. The number of postings here is overwhelming, and I don't know how to follow. And, as english is not my mothers language (learned it at school and from relatives living in GB and USA) I'm a little shy of writing to native speakers/writers. I always fear I can't make myself as clear as I like to. My passive skills are much more enhanced than my active skills are *blush* Therefore, I'm silent most of the time, I do enjoy most of the postings here, though :-)) She'd be interested if I told her another German was posting to my cat group. Welcome back, btw. Too many questions, eh. ;-) Thanks for the welcoming. Not really to many questions, it's easier for me to answer than to think of a new topic that might me interesting. Feel free to ask more ;-) Petra |
