Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2005It's been nice, but...
This group has enriched my life, but I just can't deal with the few @$$holes determined to make me feel worse than I already do right now. I still haven't heard anything from my mom - I don't know if she got to safety before the storm hit or not, Sunday was her 80th birthday and I didn't even get a chance to tell her happy birthday. Even if she is safe, her home has been destroyed. My son-in-law's cousin is still missing along with the foster children she was caring for. I haven't heard from either of my brothers or their wives (I do know from the news that their homes are under 25 feet of water), I haven't heard from any of my nieces or nephews (again, except that their homes are under water). My mother-in-law and sister-in-law and my daughter's home are under water, so they'll be here with us for some months to come (thank God). We know absolutely nothing about neighbors and friends we grew up with except that their homes are either destroyed or are under water too. And yes, my daughter's dogs are probably dead, and yes, it was my daughter and son-in-law's fault - but as hard as that is for us to bear, it still pales in light of the larger tragedies. Departing purrs would be greatly appreciated.

CatNipped You can't go!!!! I need my doses of your anecdotes! Seriously let us know when you have news of everyone....and don't let a few idiots grind you down.

I'm still waiting on news of my cousins down in NO as well; we couldn't get a hold of them prior to the hurricane and we haven't been able to get a hold of them since.

I hope everything turns out well for your family. kili > This group has enriched my life, but I just can't deal with the few > @$$holes [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > Departing purrs would be greatly appreciated. I'd beg you to stay but the past several days have about put me off the group as well. Even with liberal use of kill files. I certainly don't blame you. You sure don't need all this crap on top of everything else. Would you check back in once in a while? There really are a lot of us who care very much and would like to know how your family is doing. And how you are doing. Please try to let them know they need to help take care of you while you try to take care of them.

Litterbox offerings to the the trolltrash. Empathetic human compassion for you & what you've been going through. Hope that you can return to us in the future. Yours Gordon, Bandit, Snowball, Claudius & Raki + the spirit of Pericles News from Times-Picayune I just looked @ - what 'Nipped predicted *did* come true: some big part of some waterwall down there gave 'way from pressure, and da**ed if Lake Ponchartrain isn't flooding neighboring parishes, but bigtime! Pics too. Local rescue authorities are overwhelmed by lack of communication to rescue residents from their temporary lifewaving high-level whereabouts and - I was surprised - looting is rampant all over NO and beyond. What surprised me is that their law enforcement evidently doesn't have as good a handle on looting as that in s.FL. Looting there is sparse and isolated and if law not around, local furious citizens likely to gang up on looters and do them bodily harm.... I can't understand why NO or higher authorities don't call in the military to keep order PLUS rescue and cleanup of flooding. Military (I think) doesn't need land-line communication means and have specific training for disastes like this one. It ain't over yet, folks. As for my cuzzins in LA delta area, they have no phones to speak of and would have to get to Houma and/or Thibideaux to communicate w/anyone. I trust in their down-home 'Cajun craftiness to have protected them when K. turned east and the eye must've gone right over their areas.That's all I can do for now. >> This group has enriched my life, but I just can't deal with the few >> @$$holes [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Gordon, Bandit, Snowball, Claudius & Raki > + the spirit of Pericles Hops, there has been several national guard units deployed.

Hope all is as well as can be expected with all the things going on in your neck of the woods. Diane > This group has enriched my life, but I just can't deal with the few @$$holes > determined to make me feel worse than I already do right now. Lori, I know it's simplistic, but just killfile the trolls and the group is pretty much back to normal. Full of loving, caring people who would never do anything to hurt you. You are depressed right now, the last thing you need to do is distance yourself from friends. I hope you'll reconsider and filter out the crap. There is still lots of good stuff in this group. Victor >> This group has enriched my life, but I just can't deal with the few >> @$$holes [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Victor Victor, I don't think she realizes or is (probably) just too busy now to discover that killfiling won't work. I don't Google (boring and difficult) but from writing styles *plus* what I know about certain rpca regs I see that the main perp troll is posting here under @ least several socks (it has a distinctive posting style, you must admit) plus a few others from our sister (LOL) group who, bored, are trying to outdo each other w/sock posting. You can't killfile all that, Victor. Main perp is using sig of a reg who would never post such stuff, plus perp has small details screwed up bad trying to be someone it's not here. They're all on 'Nipped's case because she has once more "put her business in the street" as they say on Miami's mean streets. hopitus wrote: They're all on > 'Nipped's case because she has once more "put her business in the street" as > they say on Miami's mean streets. Bullshit. I'm on "Nipped's" case because she thinks it is perfectly fine to leave dogs behind to drown, and even has the nerve to post about it here. That so many of you support this type of choice is extremely appalling. Would you EVER leave your cats behind? Ever? Of course not. There is no excuse for this type of animal neglect. The only one in that family who deserves sympathy are those poor dogs. I at least hope they went without too much struggle. -L. > hopitus wrote: They're all on >> 'Nipped's case because she has once more "put her business in the street" [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > -L. I don't consider you a perp or troll; you got issues but @ least your posts are honest; you are who you are and non-apologetic. Never assume because majority of us say nada re never-ending posts of a few that we support what they post. As you know, some people have zero common sense. What you say is result of what *I* said: putting your business in "street" of 'Net. Of course I would never leave my cats behind to a 'cane.....I'm old FL cracker stock...we rode out every 'cane when I lived there...for Andrew we (cats included) were all in bathtub under a queensize mattress.

That wasn't a very nice thing to say. If you don't like what some people share here, don't read it. You have no right to critize what some of our friends choose to share here. This is a safe zone.

When you perpetuate that myth you do the group a disservice. When you post here you are posting to the world. Both when you make mealy-mouthed posts like the one above, and when you call people you don't like "c.nts." When you post your innermost thoughts and weaknesses to the world, you are not doing so in any kind of safe zone. Grow up, Victor. >>queensize mattress.

I finally discovered that Netscape 7.1 allows you to actually delete messages from people you've kill-filed! (The version I was originally using only allowed "mark message read", so they were still there, they just didn't hit your screen when you clicked on "next".) > >>queensize mattress.

That's not true. A few of you were bitching behind Tweed's back when she was very ill, Some of you killfiled CN when she spoke up during the Conan ordeal, need I go on?

My cousin Margi was also watching the group while I was not well and she only reported back this one too. I have had wonderful and remarkable support from rpca. To receive so many cards and flowers really helped while I was undergoing some horrible procedures followed by major surgery. Maybe I missed this bitching. I don't think so. If anyone who I missed bitching about me while I was in hospital fighting for my life would like to bitch again now, I am well enough to answer back... A tall tale, I think, from a troublemaker.

If these people wanted a friendly setting, they would move their drivel to a web forum. Instead, they post it in an open forum and go out of their way to incite those who they label "trolls." They want this group to turn into a cesspool of nastiness and raw hatred. Otherwise they wouldn't make the choices they do.

Show me once where I have ever sent an e-mail to anyone in this group, I e-mailed CN, at her request and Cheryl at her request and responded to Christine from an e-mail she sent to me, other than that, no one here has ever gotten an e-mail from me.

Sherry, that is not true and you know it. How many others did you email ridiculing this group? You and I both know that you are lying, and that is enough for me. As for Dan, he lied to people who trusted him, and for no reason. You have just joined the ranks of the blatant liars. Were you really THAT lonely before the anecdotes freaks posted the "Where is Sherry?" thread? Get your dried up little brain around this: it is this behavior that is responsible for the recent spate of adversarial posts here. Join the ranks who call anyone with opposing opinions a troll, and you get exactly what you deserve. I still have your emails, ranging over a year, nearly two years as a matter of fact. You know precisely who I am, as well. Do you recall the email you wrote to me in which you told me how much you hate Catnipped? That was about the time you joined Cheryl in her crusade against Lori, whom Cheryl said that she "loathed." That was about the time I stopped answering your emails. You disgust me. >Get your dried up little brain around this: it is this behavior that is >responsible for the recent spate of adversarial posts here. Amen. RPCA needs to get a web site and set up a bulletin board. Dan Mahoney can be treasurer... send him your money. There you can all be emperors of your domain. But here on USENET, you are like dogshit. You get underfoot, and people get annoyed and want to clean the mess up.

My kill-file is suddenly growing by leaps and bounds, after years with only a few (occasionally) irritating posters. I suspect some of the nastiness will stop once school starts again. The summer hols can seem endless to the very young, and nowadays they have computers, the internet, and not enough parental supervision, so they can anonymously annoy their betters. > >>>I have NEVER seen Sherry be hypocritcal.

Well, I disagreed too.

Looking at the Superdome situation and the small amount of preparedness the government is showing, how can I fault them? I am not God and I cannot judge that situation. I can only say that *I* would have tried stuffing those dogs in the truck on top of my kids if need be. I don't know the situation so I can't say if what happened was right or wrong. And it is certainly not going to correct anything. You appear to be happy to dance on those dogs graves for your own needs to continue the long standing feud. Just as Trish probably could care LESS about the situation but is using it to dance on YOU.

I believe I will be killfiling you now too. This was never about the dogs for you no matter what you say here. Top posted because I can! Hey listen up a minute. WTF are you dragging me into the convo for... I happen to actually care for CN, unlike some of you sh.ts who have put her in killfile once too often, then claim to be her friend. Or better yet make comments about her as if she has no feelings. I jumped on Lyn for going aboard CN. And show me once where I've used a sock, I challenge you on that because nowhere have I ever used a sock. I face my convictions front on without shields or hidden ips. You obviously have a problem with people who have confidence and have no problem calling someone to task, that's your problem not mine. And wtf are you even reading my posts for, killfile me if you don't like what you read. No one is forcing you to read it, but your gluttony and greed doesn't allow you to pass by anything. As for the "situation", I know all too well what CN is going through, different scenario but same danger, as a kid I've been through 3 forest fires each of which consumed our house, different house different forest fire. So you sit all comfy in your little home and tell me what I care about and don't. Not that this is any of your business, but what the hell a good friend of mine committed suicide last year due to depression, and I have another friend who is possibly headed in that direction now, so no I'm not enjoying this, unlike you I'm not judging CN, I pissing on someone who is.

I will not only pretend, but state with full conviction that you are enjoying this. Just as you enjoyed knifing down a post in rpchb about a homeless person standing alone in the street with his cat Patches because he had nowhere to go. If they haven't both drowned, Patches most probably will have. But to you, being the deeply unhappy egotistical person you are, the photo was just another occasion to judge someone even less fortunate than you. It's all about you and how you compare to others. The cat Patches and the dogs are nothing but props in your game. You are always on the look-out to find fault with people to give yourself a sense of importance. In that sense you definitely are a troll. Joske > I will not only pretend, but state with full conviction that you are > enjoying this. Oh shut up Joske.

Joske > You jumped on my post in rpchb about a cat in NO, basically stating > it was nonsense to worry about a cat and to worry about people > instead (Irak). It's Iraq with a Q. Let me educate you about the US since you apparently don't have a clue. No shelters here take animals. None. They never have. It's not exactly rocket science for a homeless person to know he cannot bring an animal into a shelter because none of them accept animals. So the story you posted was just another example of the US media printing a non-story when there are so may real stories out there to be told. But of course, the government here would blow a gasket if the real stories WERE told, so the media has to stick to "human interest" crap like you posted. THAT was my point. Apparently you mised it altogether, as you so often do. I cut you some slack because of the language barrier, but honestly, you give the Dutch a bad name. And I am a huge fan of the Netherlands. Secondly, homeless people here use animals to barter. They are chattel. A cute kitten or cat can score someone a ten-spot or a fix of heroin, or a few donations if they sit on the street croner with a sign that says "My pet needs vet care - please donate". So while your little heart strings were tugged by that story of the poor, sad, lonely homeless guy with no place to take his cat, in reality, he has more than likely been whoring his cat for weeks if not months. Once it becomes an inconvenience, he'll just sell it outright or turn it loose. Stick that in your craw and chomp on it awhile. > Moments later I find you here being equally > heartless about two dogs left behind Seems to me I am the only one who cares at all about the dogs. Except for a few head nods by Mary L, Hopitus and Karen. Everyone else seems to think it's perfectly acceptable to have animals you can't properly care for, are unprepared to make provisions for and apparently don't care enough about to let drown. > I just think you swear so much because you need the noise to stifle > the little voice telling you how ugly you have become.

Lyn's (self)hatred is evident and can certainly be classified as part of a mental problem. But, following her own rules about families forced to leave dogs behind, and homeless people having no place to flee to with their pets, this can be said: it is no excuse to abuse cat newsgroups to vent the hatred. Seeing she is still able to write, she is capable of taking responsibility for her problem - as she expects of people in far worse situations right now. On a happier cat note: I saw on CNN just now that the family who had been missing the dad/ husband who stayed behind to rescue the daughter's cat, has been reunited including the cat. Amidst the horrifying suffering, that is good to see.

But I guess they should have blinked their eyes and alacadabra, Guess WHAT L!!! ! We magically saved our dogs and ourselves by flying on a broomstick to an animal friendly shelter.

At the same time, I honestely do believe that her daughter should have taken action to save the dogs. This was a true emergency and terrible tragedies have occurred. At the same time, her daughter had warning for several days, they were prepared to evacuate, they knew the size of their dogs and the type of vehicle they would be using; so I think they should have made other arrangements. All of this does not reduce the magnitude of the tragedy that so many people are facing.

Thank you Grace. This is my last post here at least for a good while, but I had to say this... I'm sure I'll be back to RPCA eventually, but it's really hard to put anything into proper perspective right now. I can't quit crying long enough to even try to comfort my granddaughters much less counter flames. I certainly can't deal with Lyn saying, "The only one in that family who deserves sympathy are those poor dogs" when I watch my 6-year-old granddaughter cry herself to sleep about her dog. *SHE* certainly wasn't responsible for what happened. The thing is, they went to bed to a category 3 hurricane, forgot to arm the alarm clock, and woke up to a category 5 hurricane and *mandatory* *immediate* evacuation. They didn't have "days" to prepare as Lyn implies. Since I've moved to Houston they've had to evacuate here at least 10 times - and every single time they brought their dogs, and every single time they had to turn right around and go back home within a day when the hurricane missed. This time they didn't have room inside the truck for the dogs and sincerely thought that the 13-year-old bitch, if not the puppy, could have died in the heat of the back of the truck during the 14-hour (5MPH) drive in 98 degree heat even if they could have gotten the cover off the truck bed. They *TRULY* thought the dogs would be safer and better off "spending the night" at home. All the "could-have beens", "should-have-beens", and "would-have-beens" in the world are not going to bring their dogs back, and nobody knows that better than they do. If guilt, sadness, remorse, and regret could bring them back, the dogs would be safe here now, but that's not to be and we need to deal with the aftermath of a very bad decision in a very bad situation, especially as it affects the children. Now, the storm situation update... I did hear from my mother and she and my oldest brother, his wife, their two children and their three grandchildren are safe in a hotel room in Marksville, LA - they're going to be looking for an apartment there soon since nobody can go back to the city for months. I found out that my younger (but older than me) brother and his wife and my niece, her husband, and their two children did not leave St. Bernard Parish. I've seen on the internet* the reason why they're not showing pictures of St. Bernard (the worst hit area) on TV although they are showing extensive pictures of Orleans and Jefferson and other parishes. It's because there are so many bodies floating in the water in St. Bernard that it's too gruesome to show on television (the mayor of N.O. did say that he saw extensive numbers of bodies floating in the water, but they won't show it). I'm afraid I may have lost several members of my family - but we won't know for sure maybe for months. All I can do is hope and pray that they were one of the lucky ones. *Someone posted a picture of the flooding in Chalmette (and ohmygawd, I recognize the building and the neighborhoods where I grew up!!), but I won't post it here, it really is too gruesome.

Utter unadulterated bullshit and YOU know it. Anyone within earshot knew that hurricane was on its way. Excuse after excuse - that's all you can come up with.

So it's outdoor grilling, cold salads, light or frozen desserts. Fresh garden vegetables maybe. Ya'll already know I'm *not* a good cook. But I found this very easy dessert recipe that's light and delicious, and if you substitute fat-free cool whip & cream cheese, it's very low fat. Strawberry Angel Food Layered Dessert (Angel food pieces are topped with sweetened cream cheese, strawberries and whipped topping, then covered with strawberries in a glaze) · 1 large (10-12") or 2 small (8") store bought angel food cakes (I use 2 small 8 inche sponge cakes) · 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened · ¾ cup white sugar · 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed · 1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced · 1 (14 ounce) container of strawberry glaze (found in the produce section of the store) Directions 1. Tear the cake into pieces and place in a 9 x 13 pan. 2. In a medium bowl, cream the cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Fold in whipped topping. Mash the cake down with your hands and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cake. 3. In another bowl, combine strawberries and glaze until strawberries are evenly coated. Spread over the cream cheese layer. Chill until serving. NOTE: The above is the original recipe. In addition to the strawberries for the top of the cake, I slice up about 1 more additional cup of strawberries in a small bowl and added a little white sugar to sweeten and then folded them into the cream cheese mixture. It makes the dessert so much more delicious. >To me, Labor Day is the last hoo-rah of summer. So it's outdoor >grilling, cold salads, light or frozen desserts. Fresh garden >vegetables maybe.

I remember on "The Simpsons" when a relative of Mayor Quimby went into a rage and brutally beat someone for saying "chowder" instead of "chowdah" ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com > For the 'Merkins on the list, what's your favorite Labor Day recipe? > > For the non-'Merkins on the list, is there a big September/late summer > holiday in your country?

I suppose of nearest thing is not a formal day of holiday, but Harvest Festival - a Sunday where if you go to church, you take in an offering of food - used to be fruit and/or vegetables - sometimes flowers - you'd grown yourself and a service of thanksgiving for the harvest would be held. Quite often the fruit, veggies, etc., would be donated to the parish needy... pensioners... hospital... you get my drift. There's also be a Harvest Supper, in say, the village hall, where the community would come together and have a communal meal. This happens a lot less these days, which is a shame. When I was a kid, often the meal would be a meat pie, with vegetables such as peas, carrots... The meat would usually be beef, finely minced and done in a rich gravy, encased in a light shortcrust pastry. Delicious. Cheers, helen s >I suppose of near |
