Apologies to group, especially Pat
Sorry folks, its been along day and I just sort of got snarky. I cancelled
the message that I sent, but it probably got through to some news providers anyway. Just wanted to say sorry for being bitchy, particular to Pat. I hope the spider bite doesn't cause you too much suffering. Yowie |

I had read your previous post and agreed with it 100%. I haven't had much to say in this group for a while, and I've only been involved for about 6 months, but I had already witnessed Pat's behavior and assessed it as attention-grabbing. I don't read her posts any more, and I usually disregard threads of posts that she initiates, but this one eventually got my interest. I am sad for her but not because of any bites she may sustain. -- Joey Dee from NYC Remember: It is To Laugh a few Ketzl pix http://tinyurl.com/2a5u8b |

Yowie Further to this whole spider issue, why is it that Pat hasn't posted recently to let folks know she's okay? (Someone spoke to her on the phone and said she sounded fine.) That's just selfishl. -- Joey Dee from NYC Remember: It is To Laugh a few Ketzl pix http://tinyurl.com/2a5u8b |

Yeah, attention grabber is my thought. Sorry if it's uncharitable of me but I have enough problems of my own without worrying about her posting about a potential health risk then disregarding, any and all advice offered. This isn't OB Cats but I gave myself a nice home spa treatment last night Soaked in a nice hot lavender bath, washed and deep conditioned my hair, exfoliated my skin with a loofah (my dad used to grow loofah gourds because they looked neat but he had no idea what they were LOL). Then I moisturized all over and kicked back with a glass of wine and listened to music, then cuddled up with Persia. Peaches, my lovebird, was playing with her toys and ringing the bells in her cage. I'd call out "Peaches!" and she'd chirp back and ring the bells and hop on the swing. Ahhhhh, what a wonderful evening! Jill |

Just what I'd like to do- have one of those baths I have sometimes where the instruction to Dave is "Use the toilet NOW because you won't be able to use it for an hour or so". Usually uttered as I'm pulling out my face pack, special bath smellies etc And then afterwards a nice cold beer (I think I'm allergic to something in wine) and a couple of felines to hug up to...Bliss!

Then I moisturized all over and kicked back with a glass of wine and listened to music, then cuddled up with Persia. That sounds perfect. Except that for me, no spa treatment: I wouldn't do the hot lavender bath. Not sure I'd condition my hair, either. I might rinse it, though. No loofahs here, and moisturizing just gunks me up. Other than that, it's perfect! :-) I guess what it would boil down to for me is a quick shower, a large Martini, and a cat head to skritch.

Yowie Further to this whole spider issue, why is it that Pat hasn't posted recently to let folks know she's okay? (Someone spoke to her on the phone and said she sounded fine.) That's just selfishl. More like Shellfish Grilled lobster tails Cut the base of the tail away with kitchen shears and cut through the spines along the tail. Peel back and trim the shell around the meat. Brush the tail meat with butter and garlic seasoned very lightly with salt & pepper and a splash of fresh lemon. Over high heat on a charcoal grill, cook the lobster tails about 3-4 minutes or until the flesh turns opaque. Careful not to over cook! Gently remove the lobster meat from the shell and cut into pieces. Serve chilled on a bed of fresh spinach leaves with (yes, I love these) chilled mandarine orange slices OR... serve hot stirred into pasta tossed with a nicely seasoned bechamel sauce with cheese (Fontina is nice) and a toasted crusty bread. OR, just eat the darn lobster tail meat and say MMMMMM! Oh, and you might want to save a bit for your cats... or not Jill |

Just wanted to say sorry for being bitchy, particular to Pat. I hope the spider bite doesn't cause you too much suffering. Yowie I think you actually made some perceptive and important comments. In particular, this last paragraph from your message: "I don't wish her ill or hurt, but suspect that the best thing we can do for her is to stop enabling her to make excuses and duck responsibilty for the problems she has made for herself. I am trying to say this in a spirit kindness and with an eye to her future wellbeing." I also don't wish Pat -- or anyone else -- any ill will. However, she has posted a long series of messages where she talks about a continuing series of problems, asks us to buy from her list of items, talks about what she will (or won't) do for her cats, but then ignores or disputes *every* suggestion that is made. You are right -- this group has been enabling her. That does not help anyone; it simply encourages the person to continue with the same pattern. MaryL |
