1:26 am

mrp, great to have such wonderful friends

flosey, since getting rid of the 'rubbish' in my life after the horrid fire at our house, I have had positive and loving people come in... and I am making an effort to be there for them too

1:29 am

you always seem to be able to see the positive side to all your disasters, good for you

and coming back to babble has helped me too... there are wonderful people here

1:29 am

this is where you find true friends

1:31 am

yes, I do, mrp

1:31 am

we chat on iphone games... we keep in touch and she seems really happy

i will flosey, I will

1:32 am

glad to hear she's happy

still don't know why she left us

but everyone has their reasons and we all still luv her

1:33 am

even just to pop in once in a while to say hi - would be much appreciated by all her old friends here

yep, but I have her on facebook, so get to see that she is getting on well

1:34 am

I'm on facebook but very, very seldom use it

i use it all the time! LOL, I like the games cityville etc

You're welcome. I found the fa7 in morewords.

There are two ne7. One is a comparative adjective the other is an adverb.

5:07 am

le7/40 is the other 7.

Hi mrp. how goes it?

hi annie! just back from a nice dinner with my daughter... lickety was too sick to come out, so she came with me

it was girly fun!!

5:56 am

that sounds very girly, indeed. poor lickety..hope he is starting to feel better

he will be fine.... just needs a whole 24 hours of sleep!! LOL

i wish he would take vitamin B... but he says it makes him feel sick (cause he doesn't eat before he takes it!)

6:01 am

easy solution, then he should eat first

yeah, but you know how 'bright' men are

6:02 am

LOL, so right you are

how you going annie??

6:03 am

warewar \nware

6:03 am

Im doing well....just came back from a weekend of wonderful festivities...my grandson was a Bar Mitzva (confirmation) and we had a great party afterwards

6:03 am

good morning, inge

that sounds brilliant fun!!

mazel tov annie

hi inge :)

6:04 am

thanks, Jean

6:05 am

Good day to all.

hi scrabbs!! (**hugs**

6:05 am

Congrats Annie, for your grandson.

6:05 am

Hi Scrabbs...How is Sebastian...havent been around so I am behind the news

6:05 am

thanks, Scrabbs

6:09 am

He died here at home, in my arms, a week ago this evening. He was getting weaker but that morning he still hopped around and ate his morning salad. When I put his evening salad in front of him he did not show interest. I picked him up and he began taking big gasps. I wrapped him up in a blanket, sat on the couch, and within 2 minutes he was gone. I wonder if he was waiting to go until I was with him. I feel fortunate to have had him for 9 yrs (avg lifespan for bunnies = 6-8 yrs) and for holding when he died. (no euthanasia)

oh scrabs! am so so sorry!

he got to be with you and have all the love in the world before moving on

6:11 am

I am so sad and miss him so much. He was a very special bunny--2.5 lbs (1 kg) of love.

6:11 am

GMorning everyone :0)

6:11 am

Hi Mary

hi maryte :)

6:11 am

Scrabs... sprry to hear about your bunny :0(

6:11 am

Hi Mr. P

am sorry scrabs.... have lost darling pets/family and it is so hard. I am sorry again

6:12 am

How are you feeling now?

i rue the day my cat dies... she is 15 and very very special to my children.... especially as she is older than them and they show her much respect

6:14 am

It is so hard when our beloved pets die. They are suc a huge part of our lives. I am sad but am focusing on the adorable and funny things he did. Until 18 mo ago when he must have developed arthritis, he would jump in bed with me at bedtime so we could snuggle. During the night, when I woke up, he was often next to my head, or down at my feet. Sometimes he would wake me up my kissing me--his whiskers woke me up.

mary, are you asking me or scrabs the question?? sorry... my brain isn't in full operating system mode

6:15 am

Oh Scrabbs, you are so lucky to have held Sebastian when he died. He was comforted and you know he was happy to have to near him and hold him when he left. I just fell in love with him and am so sorry but it was his time.

6:16 am

It is spooky, Annie, that he looked comfortable when I went in his room, but then when I picked him up he began gasping. That makes me believe that he was waiting to be with me before he passed.

6:18 am

Scrabbs, I believe that.

6:18 am

I had been telling for a wk that he could let go.

oh scrabbs... thank goodness you were there for him

6:20 am

He let go when he felt you near him holding him in his blanket. It was the right time for him. It is never the right time for us. dear bunny.

6:20 am

I hate making the decision about euthanasia--the timing--waiting til they stop eating is sometimes just a bit too late.

6:21 am

This might be creepy, but I slept with him that night. I wrapped him in a blue flannel baby blanket. I buried him in the pet cemetery in the woods next to my house the next evening.

nothing creepy about that... if my jessie was dying, i would have her in a baby sling day in and day out

6:22 am

Scrabbs, You did ALL the right things. You were and are wonderful.

6:23 am

My daily routine is thrown off--when I go to take care of my other 3 bunnies (all adorable but none as bonded to me as Sebastian was) I still go to his room, forgetting that he is gone.

blessed be to your bunny!! hope heaven takes him in and gives him fields of grass and many holes in the dirt!

6:24 am

second that, mrp.

6:25 am

When I told the kids of my late friend Mary's that he died (they loved him too) the youngest, age 3, said, "Mommy will take care of him in heaven. don't worry." So sweet.

and a field of lettuce, carrots and bunny favourites!!

6:25 am

We still speak about Sandy who passed on when Liz and Bobby were 8 and 10. They are now 43 and 45. She was such a great part of our family. I am looking at her pic as I type. What a sweet thing for the little one to say.

6:26 am

and Sebby's blue blanket, of course, mrp!

6:26 am

Well, I must get ready for work. It was nice talking with you kind ladies. Enjoy the day.

our darling cat.... Lia, she died suddenly and accidentally at 8 years of age... we have daily reminders of her on our computer logins, we think of her all the time!

6:27 am

You too, Scrabbs

I will put up her picture as a memorial to your bunny scrabbs

6:28 am

We miss our babies when they're gone. Ok, I must run. Bye.

6:28 am

bye, scrabbs

have a good day hunny... keep your faith in your darling bunny and know that he is in a good place

6:40 am

HI MOm ANd Eva

7:40 am

I am having the best night

7:41 am

oh do tell, Herin

Watching Tv some of my fav shows are on

7:42 am

sounds like fun

And my the cuddlings too. from kitty and boy

7:43 am

cuddling is always a winner

The kitty is a happy camper he has the boy to cuddle.

7:43 am

our Ziggy is not a cuddler

We finally got HD Digital Tv so I have been able to watch Horders and How Clean is your House (Secret viewing)

Awwww

7:44 am

never heard of How Clean is your House

Seems that himself was on his way to bed the cat is on him guess he is not going anywear

7:44 am

Hoarders really bothers me to watch that one

7:45 am

lucky you, he will sit with you a while longer

Mom: http://www.bbcamerica.com/content/100/ index.jsp

Yep

Hoarders is sad. These people were so desperate

7:46 am

I know, it breaks my heart

7:46 am

the House Clean is your House is a lot like our Clean House

There was one family tonight that really broke my heart. The kids had already been taken away by Social Services before. The young lad was clinging to complete strangers he was so lost.

As I said these shows are my guilty pleasures

7:48 am

morning, all!

HI Sue

7:48 am

that would tear at my heart to see something like that

7:49 am

Good Morning Everyone...was getting the red boxes of doom earlier so got off....trying again now

7:49 am

((Uusue)) good morning

7:49 am

((River)) good morning

I also think one of the other families I had a feeling the man was a Veteran. HI River

7:50 am

got the 8!!!! fo 8/75

7:50 am

I have never heard of that show

7:50 am

it has to be rough

7:50 am

care to give us a clue Mom

7:50 am

I think A&E has the Hoarders show. The other is a BBC show

River Hoarders is a USA show.

7:51 am

hi, mom and river and herin!

7:51 am

my son watches this car show on BBC

7:51 am

compound word 4 + the officer didn't give me a ticket but he did give me a stern ****ing

We get them on Digital TV HD which means you have to have a Digital HD TV

7:52 am

nice clue, mom, thx!

7:52 am

I have digital but not HD

7:52 am

you're welcome uusue

7:52 am

thanks Mom

Thanks Mom

7:53 am

you're welcome River

River we saved our pennies and got the HD box

7:53 am

ok, forgot to change my icon as the router was down when I got up - bbs with new icon

7:53 am

Good Morning Everybody!

7:53 am

when Keith is watching this BBC car show, he laughs and laughs...its funny just to hear him

7:53 am

you're welcome Herin

7:54 am

you mean top gear. it is a great show!

7:54 am

We have a digital HD box but not an HD TV

7:54 am

morning Nef

7:54 am

yes - top gear is it

HI Nef and Hurshy

7:54 am

hello Nef and Hurshy

7:54 am

we love that show too

7:54 am

and hello hurshy

7:54 am

Has cos been here yet this AM?

7:55 am

Not that I have seen, Nef.

7:55 am

it set to automatically record so he watches them over and over

7:55 am

He is headed your way, isn't he?

7:55 am

havent seen cos

7:55 am

when i first saw HD i couldn't tell the diff between it and regular. but now that i'm used to HD, regular seems noticeably less good. esp on my dad's huge tv. there's no point in having a huge tv without HD!

7:56 am

agree hurshy, just havent needed a new TV yet to spend the money.

BHI Nef

We have saved for new tv and yes Hursy you are right

7:56 am

He is here; his plane was an hour late last night and we didn't meet up yet. I told him we'd meet this AM and I'll take him to breakfast and his hotel

7:56 am

ok, I am back! You will probably have to refresh to see the new icon.

7:56 am

I need to go get my breakfast....will be back in a little while....happy babbling

7:57 am

enjoy, River. ((hugs))

7:57 am

bye, river!

7:57 am

and nef, say hi to cos!

7:57 am

hi Mom, River, Hhurshy, herin, and sue

7:57 am

that will be fun, Nef

7:59 am

I'd thought we could do a tour of the Cities last night and stuff; but between the rain and the fact that it was dark and he couldn't see my lips; I thought meeting this AM would be better

Brilliant. I can take my curtains to the laundry matt.

7:59 am

this is true Nef. This morning would definitely be better

7:59 am

Herin . please take mine with you

8:00 am

ooh, curtain wash!

8:00 am

Mine need to go but I can't stomach paying $279 to have them cleaned

8:01 am

It's still raining, but at least he could see (I didn't realize he can't hear before)

8:01 am

I remember him mentioning it once

8:02 am

did he wind up spending the night at the airport?

Sorry that was totally random. I found I can wash and dry them in the laundry dryer

8:02 am

YIKES, MOM! I didn't want to pay for dry cleaning mine either; I washed my drapes on the gente wash in cold water last time and they turned out great

These do not need dry cleaning.

8:02 am

good afternoon all

Mom what is the fabric of the Curtains?

8:02 am

hi, sprite!

Hi Sprite

8:03 am

mine are pleated and have the heavy band at the top. but they charge to launder and so much a pleat and there are a ton of pleats

8:03 am

polyester

8:03 am

I would not want to have to iron those suckers for anything

8:03 am

he did, sue. I really wanted him to stay here; but between having DH's 85 y/o Aunt here in the guest room and my daughter getting up at 5:30 and being in the family room; I didn't think it would work.

8:04 am

gee, seems like you ought to be able to put polyester in the wash, at least on cold

8:04 am

but ironing would be a bitch...

8:04 am

'scuse my language...

I think you could through it in the wash and line dry it. At about 40c

Opps F

8:04 am

oh I could but with the heavy band at the top holding the pleats together I am afraid that would distort them

You could wash the bottom bits

8:05 am

well, he's young, nef, and seemed to be prepared to do that, and the mpls airport seems pretty safe to me

8:05 am

and I agree Uusue, it would definitely be one

OR Vacuum them

8:06 am

we have gas heat and the only grayish part is at the bottom where they hang over the register

8:06 am

I told him I've spent several nights in several airports through the years and gave him some safety tips. I know where he found a place to sleep and I'm sure he's pretty safe there

8:06 am

with two gray cats, i have grayish parts as high as they rub :)

8:06 am

have you vacuumed them, mom? sounds like dust

8:06 am

he slept in the airport?

8:07 am

I will give it a shot with the vacuum, thanks Herin and uusue

But I am nuts and vacuum the cat too

8:08 am

Ziggy will not let me vacuum him but he loves having the lint roller taken to him

8:08 am

what does the 8 start with?

8:08 am

and the cat puts up with this?

8:08 am

yes. He didn't have reservations for last night; and he wasn't able to find a cheap motel once he got here

8:08 am

fo, hurshy

8:08 am

oh dear

8:08 am

I'll be back in 15 minutes.

8:08 am

thanks! got it

8:08 am

ok Nef

Hurshy Same in this house except there is white fur up to half the walls

8:09 am

bfn Nef

8:09 am

see you later, nef!

8:09 am

((Sprite)) good afternoon, I missed your coming in

8:09 am

and two cats and a large dog mean I have pet hair everywhere

8:09 am

hi Mom :)

SPRITEEEEEEEEE

Thankfully the white cat is deaf and I can vacuum her

8:10 am

we have Annie today and her hiar seems to come out everywhere

8:10 am

I think uusue was the only one who saw me, lol. Deep into the curtains, weren't you?

8:10 am

hair*

hi all

I said Hi Sprite

HI Sciene

Underlass!

8:11 am

oh we were, Sprite. Such is the life of the everyday housewife :-)

8:11 am

that, and nef and cos and the airport and what not

8:11 am

hi geek!

8:11 am

and hi, science!

OVERLASS

8:11 am

hello ScienceGeek

8:11 am

hi lady

8:11 am

you all good today?

I am

8:12 am

good :)

8:12 am

fine and dandy here

8:12 am

how about you, Sprite?

8:12 am

how is the noise next door?

8:12 am

not great, but there is less noise today, so I am happy

8:13 am

Good

8:13 am

oh good, sprite!

8:13 am

good that this is less noise. no so good that you are not great

8:13 am

right, what mom said

8:14 am

I will be! Give me a month or so without building noise and I will be great again. Promise.

8:14 am

we will celebrate when that happens Sprite

8:15 am

great idea, Mom. I will fill up the PB then with goodies, and we all can get in without paying a word first :)

Science how has things settled down?

a bit. Now, I am trying to get excited about riding through the desert on the harley.

Nice. How is boy child going?

8:16 am

that would make me very happy, except for the desert part.

not looking forward to the heat. I dont know why my husband asks me where I want to go for vacation, because we always end up doing what he wants to do

boy is okay

Is he going back to College?

yes, but trying to transfer out of state for the Spring term

8:17 am

could it be that you give in to his wishes every ye4, geek? How about one ye4 your choice, one ye4 his choice?

he is not driving through that area at night anymore

Sprite, that sounds nice but he is a passive aggressive person. I am direct.

who has a clue for the fl 7?

Hopefully that will work. Is the College steeping up security?

i just dont like fighting with him

no the university never has had much in terms of security

8:19 am

ok, that is a very valid choice too

that sucks. Have the police done anything or not?

of course not. what could they do in a city so large and full of crime?

8:20 am

fl7 a scatterbrain

8:20 am

Hello all

You live in Texas don't you?

8:20 am

it is getting so universities need much more in the way of security, sadly... (voice of experience here)

yes Texas

8:20 am

fl7....what birds do + misspelling of what falls from your eye when you cry

A scatterbrain? Dont see it

8:20 am

hi lyn :) xxx I submit a re- and an not-in word for today, for remarrying and for lending out your spouse.

My Tafe used to have a security guard that would walk you to your car if you needed

8:21 am

thx, molly!

8:21 am

O nuts I didn't see that Top F

8:22 am

Actually, the word means "a person who makes artificial lures for fly-fishing"

still dont have all the f;s

8:22 am

To be more correct and all taht

8:22 am

8:23 am

8:46 am

*thinks up a random answer*

8:46 am

if I go off abruptly, it's 'cause the computer keeps shutting down

8:46 am

But if your aunt is there she can just say it or they can give her a form to sign there if needbe

8:46 am

that sounds fine nef

8:46 am

hi, ruby!

8:47 am

the parents were nesting over their property and the babies fell out of the nest so he took them to bird rescue

Ruby first things first. You need to see if you have dust blocking the vents

8:51 am

5'2" is bigger than me

8:51 am

hi mom

8:52 am

OK, next time it shuts down, I'll unplug and try to clean it

ack nose bleed brb

8:52 am

Thanks Sue. I am thinking the next time I get paid I will do the wash/dry thing

Nef can your friend just sign a Nef needs to hold my hand as I am alone note?

8:53 am

8:55 am

I will try to take the cover off, but have never done it

8:55 am

it happened to my daddy all the time too sprite and it used to happen to me when i was young

8:56 am

just take your time about it, rubyfoo. Unscrew if necessary. Then find out if you need to slide, unclick or just pull off.

8:56 am

U stats please?

OK. The other thing is do you know how to defrag it?

8:56 am

when the power is off (unplug from socket!), nothing can go wrong.

8:56 am

I have ur5/12 and ur4/5 so far

8:57 am

9:39 am

ah, do hope you will be able to meet

9:39 am

yes, hopefully the meeting'll work out

Hello :)

9:40 am

flosey, that sounds like it will be a good family gathering

9:40 am

oh yes, can you leave a message on his computer so he'll know?

9:41 am

we're all looking forward to it, daughter is getting guitars for both son and grandson so they can have some fun playing together (3 of them)

9:41 am

it's just too much luggage to bring their own guitars

9:42 am

I'll post a pic of the gathering

9:42 am

I did already. I didn't realize he can't hear, so I don't know if he can txt my phone or not (I'm not electronically knowledgeable enough to know what can and can't be done)

9:42 am

since moving to the west coast, we have never had all four of our kids here at same time

9:42 am

ok, fingers crossed then Nef

9:43 am

WOW, flosey! This will be a memorable trip!

9:43 am

my boy's picture is on the internet for DC flag tattoo day

1:06 pm

http://tinyurl.com/625totv

1:12 pm

Cool! Which one is he?

1:13 pm

he is the one with the camera

1:13 pm

his pant leg is rolled up to show his tat on his calf

1:15 pm

nice! of course, they cropped the photo so you can't actually see his tat...

1:17 pm

too bad that

1:17 pm

he is wearing a temporary red and white today one like eleanor holmes norton has on

1:18 pm

it is actually a fairly common tat for local boys

1:21 pm

hi again. DH's Auntie passed her endoscopy too today! (I got her all tucked in bed now for a nap; dang! Life is busy!)

1:22 pm

does he have a real tattoo jmc; or is it just temporary? I once told my kids that I wouldn't allow them in my house if they got tattoos.

1:23 pm

did you ever meet up with cos, nef? and good news about DH's auntie!

1:25 pm

So neither kid got one; but my dtr-in-law has a full tattooed sleeve (which she did After they got married!)

1:25 pm

not yet sue. His laptop died and he did check into his hotel. Once he gets his schedule we will plan to meet.

1:26 pm

my son doesn't have a tat but he did ask me once (when he was in high school) what I would to if he dyed his hair pink. I told him it was his hair and he could do what he wanted with it; he never did dye it (although he did shave his head a couple of years later)

1:26 pm

well, glad cos has arrived ok! hope his laptop recovers...

1:27 pm

Pink hair is wonderful! ;)

1:28 pm

so I see, roxbi! :-)

1:28 pm

my dtr had pink hair once. Also blue green, black blonde....

1:29 pm

it at least grows out

1:30 pm

hi all -- checking in from somewhere on the Moscow canal

1:30 pm

hi, nan! How was the Kremlin?

1:30 pm

quite different than expected, sue

1:31 pm

cyber, sounds like quite the trip!

1:31 pm

lear euro

1:31 pm

how so, cyber?

1:35 pm

didn't expect a city inside the Kremlin walls

1:36 pm

me either, nan! Pretty amazing, isn't it? Did you go inside some of the churches?

1:38 pm

sounds like I'll have to Googe it and see what it's like. I thought it would be similar to the Pentagon maybe

1:39 pm

we went inside 2 of them uusue -- not a bare inch of wall anywhere -- beginning to look all the same though

1:41 pm

bbs, got to do a bit of stuff in the kitchen

1:41 pm

bye, nef!

1:56 pm

back. Got my celery jug full of ready-to-eat celery sticks !

2:04 pm

okay, crazy thinking here. But wouldn't it be nice if a word having 2 ways to pronounce it and 2 separate meanings (such as yesterdays' "close" and todays' li 4/7) were worth double the points? Just asking....

2:07 pm

works for me, nef! :-)

2:07 pm

as long as we don't lose points for words that have no meanings at all...

2:08 pm

hello my dear friends

2:09 pm

hi trif

2:09 pm

hi, trif!

2:10 pm

there are several signs I'd drive by after work (before my foot injury) near the U of MN that say "LI4/7 CLOSE!" I didn't undersatnd what was closing and why was it being al*** a big deal... Getting off nights finally made it into a sensible statement to me

2:10 pm

I am having a heck of a time getting to nbt today!

2:10 pm

hi Trif!

2:11 pm

congrats on your son's graduation tri. my younger son graduated this spring too

2:11 pm

congrats to you too, then wildcat!

2:11 pm

yeah, well, I can't tell you how long it took me to parse "time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana". Months.

2:11 pm

ty! what's he going to do now?

2:12 pm

congrats to both of you r sons, wild and Trif

2:12 pm

bye, wild, and congrats to your son!

2:12 pm

he is going to art school in boston, and will live there.

2:13 pm

hi, kazz!

2:14 pm

nef, it makes sense once you realize that the same word is not a verb in both phrases (maybe that was obvious to you but it took me a long time of visualizing flying bananas before I figured it out :-)

2:14 pm

hi Kazz

2:16 pm

LOL, sue! I never even pictured a flying banana! Then again; it could say that I have had recent experience with fruit flies too! (which, unfortunately, is true and why I had to clean up the kitchen) :-(

2:17 pm

Trifi, is this your first one leaving home?

2:17 pm

Yes, he is my first fledging....

2:17 pm

nbt! Geesh, finally

Yay, Trifi for nbt!

3:59 pm

my lord! you poor thing!

3:59 pm

anagram of a hot car+ pronoun that means we own it

3:59 pm

C-section obviously

4:00 pm

4:05 pm

Arriving at big baby stories? I was hauling around 13 pounds of baby at 9 months.

4:06 pm

Hi Vic!

4:06 pm

(The poundage was divided between two, but it was all there nevertheless.)

4:06 pm

both my kids were c secs....so no labor stories

4:06 pm

Uh, and sorry to hear.

4:06 pm

hi Vi!

4:07 pm

I looked like dome of St Peter's in Rome, on its side. =)

4:07 pm

sorry to hear what

4:07 pm

Hello, everyone!

4:07 pm

My son was purple when he was born. They said it was a body bruise and that he should have arrived via C-Section. He's still a big guy, goes 6'2" about 200 pounds. Outdone by my youngest who is 6'4" and 250 pounds. We grow 'em big, down on the farm.

4:08 pm

lol, Molly. He seems to have recovered from the bruise, then.

4:09 pm

I was waiting to hear if he is still purple...

4:09 pm

mine was only 7 pounds 2 ounces but he didn't want to come out - I was in labor for 3 days!

4:10 pm

Yeah, I broke the all time record for labor time for my six pounder at our hospital. Almost four days.

4:11 pm

Oof. After 20 hours for me they decided to do a c-section. Thank goodness!

4:11 pm

Oh God y'all. I would rather have a big baby than be in labor that long.

4:12 pm

If she had hurried up I would have had the New Years Baby, but no gifts for us.

4:12 pm

And all three of mine were big babies at birth. 9, 10 and 11 pounds.

4:16 pm

ok im going to hit the sack you guys

4:16 pm

They must have been very cute, not like my little dried up babies.

4:16 pm

Afternoon Babblers! and yes Westford, there are freecycle groups in most places. but the email subscription list is often worthy of its own email account.

5:41 pm

my father used to call me a dandy

I think your Dad and my Dad were pals West. Did he say nifty a lot?

5:45 pm

5:46 pm

Ah, my Dad's famous swear was JUDAS PRIEST!!!

5:46 pm

I can hear him now

5:48 pm

I'm by no means a prude but that's one of the reasons I quit FB

5:49 pm

any e6 or f6?

5:49 pm

Cute story about my Dad. He was very against females in the military, being a military man himself. He wasn't real big on female deacons or altar girls either. At his funeral service? Yep, there was an altar girl. AND, there was a female Coast Guard officer who carried his casket to the grave site at Arlington.

5:50 pm

*coming out of lurking mode* anyone have a clue for the le7?

6:13 pm

and hate war more than most

6:15 pm

My favorite picture of my Dad is a black and white of him landing a Coast Guard helicopter when he was about 28. It looks like a movie poster, he was ruggedly handsome.

11:58 pm

Are you still here hoot? The adventure: the neighbourhood cat came into my house (I don't know how) and we had a nice time (I love him -- a beautiful and very friendly golden Burmese) when suddenly and for no reason he lashed out at my leg and made a couple of gouges in it which bled all over the place. It's a long story, but I managed to get to the phone to his owner, who came over and bandaged it and got me to the hospital for appropriate attention. I'll live, and so will the cat, who had no idea he had done a bad thing.

11:59 pm

oh jilli that's terrible

11:59 pm

aw poor you jilli

11:59 pm

This, of course, interrupted our watching of the Stanley Cup, but we already knew it was 3-0 for Boston at that point. Congrats to Beantown. Try again for the Canucks.

11:59 pm

he thought he was playing

11:59 pm

just back. Wondered what happened. Sorry about the cat. Sorrier about the hurt!
