I hope you aren't serious about this. I don't know the previous
history and am trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, in spite
of the tasteless flatbed truck jokes.

I did try mouse traps to keep Ruffus off the kitchen counter. There was
an outrage on the kitty board, and a lot of vicious and hostile posts.
But not much teaching, and I could not get anyone to tell me what was so
outrageous.

One of the posters (who I've not seen recently here) and her husband
explained to me that a friend of theirs, cat found a mouse trap in the
hall of the apartment. The paw damage went septic, and the cat died of
injuries. I had totally no way to know. I thanked them for the teaching
moment. I went home and took down all mouse traps, so as not to injure
Ruffus.

Sadly, while I was thankful for the teaching and changed my ways, some
of the posters on this list continue to bash and throw kitty litter
lumps at me for something that happened in 2006 (or was it 2005?) and
has not happened since.

Just as a caution. Be very careful what you write on this board. Because
eight years later, the unkind, vindictive and punitive types will still
be throwing cat**** at your every post. Just like now.

BTW, the tasteless screw gun jokes are AFTER having a load of cat****
thrown at me. "let the crime fit the punishment".

Ok, you got a bad response from some people here because of something that
happened years ago which upset people. (I was on the group in 2005/6.) You
also got some friendly and, I hope, helpful advice from other people.

Your response to the 'cat**** thrown at you' isn't helping your case. I
realise it upset you but by retaliating in the way you have weakens your
case.

Please let it drop and show that you're not that nasty person your
opponents think you are. That you do care about the cat you're about to
adopt (and other cats too). Most people here will be interested in how you
get on.

I wish to think that discriminating readers can tell
the difference between the real me, and the occasional
rude reply to rude people. So, what does it demonstrate
if I sit back and don't make any response to rude? That
I'm a litter box, and people should throw cat**** at me?

No, it demonstrates that such things are beneath you and not worth noticing.

I try my best, but some times I notice anyway.
Noticed in another post that Christina Websell
rudely made a remark, and then in passing
remarks that she won't see my reply. She's risen
to new levels of beneath me.

Mormon's signature line in 2006 was:

Christopher A. Young
You can't shout down a troll.
You have to starve them.

One of his cheerleaders back in 2006 then said we got the wrong
impression because gee, at the time he *also* mentioned using mousetraps
and thumbtacks as countertop deterrents.

All these years later, this is no coincidence. Deja vu Troll!

Sounds great! Yellow crookneck squash is my favorite.

I'm going to try this...it's easy, and you always have good recipes.

I hope you enjoy it. Locally grown crookneck squash is plentiful where
I live most of the year. I cobbled the recipe together after having
"squash casserole" as a side dish at a number of "Southern style"
restaurants. If the squash is on the large side I sometimes lightly
steam the slices before assembling the dish.
