In the fine newsgroup "rec.pets.cats.anecdotes", Dan M
artfully composed this message within on 06 Sep 2004: Actually I was thinking of this group purr idea as a supplement to the posted purr requests. By all means, I think everyone NEEDS to keep posting their purr needs so we can tend to them individually as well as on the group effort. I'm sorry if my post sounded like I was in favor of consolidated purrs but I am. I guess I'm just feeling left out when some of my stories don't even rate responses other than one or two. I thought that might be due to traffic, and if not, I feel bad now. Oh well. -- Cheryl |

... I'm all for a group purr, but I wouldn't like it if someone who needs a little support from people who care about them felt that they shouldn't post a request for purrs. I try to respond to most of them; I know how a little expression of caring can pick someone up. So in brief, I'm in favor of adding the group purr, not cutting the purr requests that are being posted. Regards and Purrs, O J Actually I was thinking of this group purr idea as a supplement to the posted purr requests. By all means, I think everyone NEEDS to keep posting their purr needs so we can tend to them individually as well as on the group effort. Dan I think it is a lovely idea! Some of us have limited time and aren't always able to read and respond to all purr requests. In fact, there are times when I can't read them through the tears in my eyes. A digest with a weekly session would enable me to think of everyone who needs the purrs and prayers on a regular basis. BTW, you can put Skeeter and me on your list. When I wasn't able to get on line, Yowie was good enough to post a message for me about Skeeter, who has been diagnosed with CRF. Her numbers are quite high, and have raised drastically in the past six months. She has also lost three pounds in two months. I'm doing my best to keep her comfortable and do what is right for her. I know eventually I'll have to make that hardest decision, and I pray I'll know when that time comes. She is still able to snuggle and purr for me, and she is eating a little (very little), so I know that time is not yet, but I'm afraid it may be soon. -- Joy Owned and operated by Lindy and Skeeter |

Lately it seems like a lot of us have posted important purr requests - job and financial needs, missing kitties, health issues, etc. In fact, it seems to me that a whole bunch of us are going through some majorly troubling times now - more so than in the memorable past. It seems to me that it might be a worthwhile experiment to select a date and time (perhaps the next full moon?) when everyone who is so inclined could, at the same time, do their thing towards addressing the purr requests. Prayer, casting a circle, meditating, visualizing - whatever each individual does - done as a simultaneous group activity might be a very effective tool. I would be willing to coordinate gathering the purr requests of those who have issues to be purred over. What do you all think? I realize it could be very difficult to find one time that would work for all, since we're spread all over the earth. Perhaps two or three distinct times, to allow participants from all over? I'd like to hear your evaluations of the idea. Dan I love the idea!! Jill |

I wouldn't worry about it Cheryl. I've gotten used to having few replies, or none, to my stories. Occasionally, I'll get an email saying how much a story meant to someone and that makes it all worthwhile. Pam S. |

I think it is a great idea, count me in. Lois -- Burmese are like potato chips, you can't just have one. "Dan M" wrote in message ...

Sometimes there just isn't enough time to answer, even though we take time to read. Keep them up MLB |
