I just noticed these posts were being cross-posted to anecdotes. Lori Crews cross-posted between the groups AGAIN by adding rpca in the follow-up field. Sorry for the disruption - if I had noticed I would have sent the replies back to H+B where they belong. Don't ever act innocent again, Lori. ...

Last week I wrote about how DH saved a chipmunk from certain death on the side of the road. Yesterday, we were able to save a turtle from death as it crossed a road. We were driving along, less than a mile from our home, when DH starts cursing, swerves and pulls over to the side of the road (I...

I caught myself sings this Saturday and would like to share. It Goes to the tune of Doggie in the Window (I think) Where oh where have my keys gone. Oh where oh where could they be? I've been looking near and far and those keys I do not see! Oh there Oh there Oh there they are!

Our cats each have their own favourite types of toy (hence the vast quantity in our house!). Fudge likes large fur mice with long tails, and Rosie rats Caramel likes small fur mice, and a crinkly ladybug toy Meg likes those promotional bugs (the small fluffy ball with a ribbon advertising things...

We have a fold up type hammock that is brought out whenever the overflow of people is to large for the number of beds. Mike loves it and tries to get away with not putting it up when no one is visiting. Lately, he has received assistance from the owners. The hammock has a net that is...

How's the wrist doing, sweetie? And the bruises and road rash? Purrs that you're felling better. Hugs, CatNipped

I've started a tribute project to living and past cats. I'm looking for more content. If you would be so kind as to put in your cats (there is an add cat page, and you can add a picture once you've added your cat) I would appreciate it. This project is being used to demonstrate technology to...

Got a question for you. Background: I've had asthma in the past, but haven't needed an inhaler in about 5 - 6 years. Lately, since the weight loss, I've been in excellent health. Last Wednesday I had a check-up with the doctor and my BP was 110 over 70. Lungs and heart sounded great. I had...

I was super-tired yesterday evening and my pain meds were running out, but I suspected that Oscar was feeling neglected, so I sat down near her, picked up the cat dancer she'd been half-heartedly pawing, and made it dance. She played with it for a minute or two, then did something...

Back from seeing TED, Cleo has an abscessed tooth, TED gave her a good check over and said for her age she is in good nick, but the tooth has to come out, we left her there, somewhat reluctantly, TED will remove the tooth in the morning, not much sleep for us tonight, at her age it is probably...

Well, I got a lot of feedback from my job hunt that my cover letter was absolutely excellent. More than one person said I had the best cover letter they'd ever seen. I've also helped a few people recently, and they all said that I had a real knack for it. How much would you pay to have someone...

Warning to all women This is a warning to those friends who haven't experienced it yet, and an explanation to those friends and family who have. Most of you have read the scare-mail about the person whose kidneys were stolen while he was passed out. Well, read on. My thighs were stolen from...

Hi folks, I haven't read or posted in this group for a very long time, although I'm a member of catslaves :-). It's just overwhelming to see the number of postings each day in this group. I will not be able to follow all of them. For those who don't know or remember me: I'm german, and a slave...

Oscar's tummy was really upset last night -- at first I thought we had an intruder in the house, but it turned out to be noises from her belly! Weird, as she's been eating the same food as usual. Actually, she didn't eat her food last night ... This morning, though, she was doing laps of zoomies...

I went to the bike shop to get my clipless-cleat shoes and pedals today. But my stupid PeeWee Herman bike has a different sized axle and the pedal won't fit!!!! So for now, until I can get a *REAL* bike, I'm going to have to find the clips that will fit - if I can. I did get a good camelbak and...

Well, not what you think, Basho is fine. The problem is when I work from home. Basho *has* to be as close to my chest as possible. Right now he's standing between me and the keyboard, making typing difficult. I need to somehow fit a cat bed between me and the keyboard or perhaps get one of those...

My father in law is going in for bypass surgery tomorrow morning, 7:30am Arizona time. He doesn't like cats, but now's not the time to quibble. He got a heart stress test on Wednesday. He didn't have any weird symptoms and wasn't sent by a doctor; he just thought it would be interesting. Well,...

Two teeth and $230-80 later Cleo is back home, she is on antibiotic's for the next 7 days, have to take her back next week to see how her gum has healed. DH did a double take at the price (he is not used to dealing with vets!!) Hopefully we will have her around for a good few years yet. Thanks for...

Hi all, I've added a few new pictures to my photo album at: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/prince_nigel_h/album?.dir=11f2 Enjoy! Melissa
