I'm back!!!

If it seems like a long time since you've seen me post, well you're
right. Besides being extremely busy around here - the old computer
died. Seems there was a couple metal clips holding the CPU onto the
motherboard, one came loose, and stay pieces of metal laying on a
motherboard is NOT a good thing.

I finally got agent working tonight - after a couple messages back and
forth between me and their support site to get a new username and
password. Once the reader was working, I had to go through the same
thing getting the news server to recognize me.

Other than that, things have been going about as well as can be
expected. I've spent this past week downloading and installing
software trying to get everything back to normal. Pretty much
everything is back now, though I still have to install AVG and word
perfect, and connect the scanner and printer before I'll be back to
normal.

My girls are all doing fine. Furby is almost as big as her momma now,
and I often have to seen the face before I can tell who is who.
They've all been mad at me lately, since I'm trying to get Little Bit
and Spotty to lose some weight, and prevent Princess from getting too
fluffy. The problem is that when I feed them Sammy and Furby just eat
enough to satisfy their hunger, and the other three eat until
everything is gone.

A couple of the neighborhood cats need some purrs, though. Seems they
got into a fight, probably with each other, and both have abscesses. I
know where one of them lives, and I finally talked to the owners
Saturday. The lady said if it wasn't better they'd take Frank to TED
today to be looked at. The other cat, who I call Gray Kitty, has been
a regular visitor here for several years. I know there is, or at least
was, a home somewhere, because Gray has always seemed to be taken care
of and only comes by to eat here about twice a month. For the past
couple days, though, Gray kitty has been spending most of the time on
my patio in one of the carriers I keep out there. I expect I'll end up
taking him to TED for treatment this week if I don't see some
improvement.

Hi Steve! It's nice to see you back, and to hear your crew is doing
okay. Hope the neighborhood cats make out okay. It's frustrating when
people just "let things go", abscesses, although those things can
work out on their own. If you do end up having to take Gray Kitty, it
sounds like you won't have any problem getting him in the carrier!

LOL Yeah, getting Gray Kitty in the carrier will be easy, if I do end
up taking him in. I put the carriers out on the patio earlier this
winter when I realized that the folks across the alley were leaving
their cats out 24/7 in all kinds of weather. I'd come home at 2 or 3
AM and find Frank huddled up on the welcome mat at my door. When it
was just Frank I'd let him inside to warm up. He was always ready to
go back out after he warmed up a little, though, seldom wanting to
stay in for long. Now they have two cats. Unfortunately my girls don't
get along with the other one - who I call Little Sister, although
she's a sweety and very affectionate.

I went out a few minutes ago to check and GK was sleeping in the
carrier again. I put out fresh water and some food for him. Seems alot
more spry this morning than a couple days ago. He's a long hair, and
not the friendliest cat, so I can't check him out easily. He usually
keeps his distance from me, and hisses if I try to pet him. I think
the abscess may have burst, as his fur is matted in a couple places -
on his neck and shoulder.
