A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the answer to "Where do pets come from?" Adam and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love...

Apache continues to get comfortable. She occasionally lets me pick her up with only a single complaint (instead of several complaints - grin), but is definitely an affection monster. When I work at home, she frequently comes over to me and demands that I pet her. And this morning, about two...

Some programmer futzed around with Facebook again, didn't they? All of a sudden I'm getting emails about every little thing posted from everyone in the rpca FB group. How do I turn this stuff off?! Jill

Working at home is nice. Here is Apache sitting pretty for me: http://professional-geek.net/personal/images/cats/apache_20120906_1b.jpg Little Boy sez, "I'm fixin' to lay some kitty lovin' on you!": http://professional-geek.net/personal/images/cats/littleboy_20120906_3b.jpg Here's Little Boy...

/*rant I'm getting really irritated. The a/c was supposed to be repaired on Tuesday. Then I got the call... they don't have the part in their warehouse. Would I like to have it shipped from the factory overnight? At my expense, of course. Please... anything to get it fixed! So the repair...

But I can't. Two weeks ago I uploaded Serif Photoplus as a replacement for Photoshop which I lost when my last computer crashed. Despite my pleas to Photoshop and providing my code they would not let me download it again and it is horribly expensive to buy. I also half uploaded Microsoft...

I'm trying to get Thunderbird to sort ng posts the way I'm used to in Windows Mail (and before that, Outlook Express). I'd love to use it as my newsreader because it does quote correctly. It's irritating the heck out of me. I would like it to display the latest posts first, in descending date...

Okay, we all know cats are a little strange. John's cat, Precious, sneaked up and stole a Brussels sprout off his dinner plate! I don't know if Persia would be interested in Brussels sprouts. She does beg for chips/crisps or crackers if I'm snacking. She once stole a hamburger patty right...

I've told you all that Boyfie's bedroom is sancrosant but I got him off his duvet last week to go to TED for his important injections. I went into his bedroom today to get something out of the airing cupboard which is in there. He was sitting on the windowsill looking at the butterflies on the...

Their new user interface is just about unusable. Very very slow, often doesn't succeed in loading complete pages, and worst of all: I used to access pages via their RSS feed in my Firefox bookmarks toolbar. That is no longer being updated, and there doesn't seem to be any way of getting a list of...

I didn't see the news yesterday; John told me this morning. A wonderful actor, Michael Clarke Duncan died after complications from a heart attack he suffered in July. Probably best known for his character as John Coffey in 'The Green Mile' (with Tom Hanks), this gentle giant will be missed. ...

http://www.cbc.ca/news/offbeat/story/2012/09/02/cat-video-winner.html The video is hilarious. And Henry is a gorgeous kitty who looks like my little monster's long-lost twin. There are 2 more Henry videos on YouTube which are also worth...

Collecting for the Cat's Protection League outside the Pet Shop in the next village to me. I always go in there if I am there as that's where I got my last hens from, and they are not great performers egg wise and I want to look at the hens they are selling for 18.99 each. I don't carry much...

"Pet shaming" (http://cat-shaming.tumblr.com/), attaching a note to a pet to tell the world about their bad habits, like "I am a muffin-stealing whore" (http://imgur.com/gallery/eZ7qO) in one picture, appears to be a new meme. Here's Little Boy's take on...

This morning, as I often do, I torment Apache by picking her up and chanting, "Kisses and cuddles! Kisses and cuddles!" She often gives token resistance, and a 'meeeew' or two, before I let her back down. This morning, she looked directly at Senyah and shouted what sounded like, "Mom! Mooom!"...

Recently I lost my friend and companion Baxter. He was a domestic short hair cat I found shivering in the rain 12 years ago. He was just a kitten and he was so skinny his ribs were showing. My wife nursed him back to health and he became one of the family. He was invaluable to me after I lost my...

I may have mentioned the situation at work- the harrassment over moving me into an office where I don't want to go (long story) and the fact that after next year they will be cutting my wages by £200 a month because they've regraded us to save money although it now looks like some of us will keep...

Came across a little run-down gun shop while I was in Dallas this morning. It had the expected little signs like, "If you're caught around here at night, you'll be found here tomorrow morning" and so on. The entire interior could easily be described as 'shop worn'. As I stood just inside the...

Time for bed and I turn off the livingroom light and start closing things up for the night. Check the front porch, no cats. Okay close the door. No cats on back porch. I put the alarm on. I always like to do a nose count to know where the 3 cats are. Cinnamon, Samwise but no Lucy Lu. Back into...
