Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2004So I'm sitting here whining to myself ...
Hi All, So I'm sitting here whining to myself that I seemed to have gotten relatively few follow-ups to my last two stories. I knew that I had satisfied myself with them by the time they were finished, but where were the precious add-on articles telling me how full of pathos was the story of Puss Puss' year on the streets as an old bag lady. Where were the kind words remarking on my exposition of the tricks of my Smokey man who'd prefer to get picked up than leap to the top of a counter on his own? Whine! Whine! Whine! And all this whining on a day when the keeper of a web page of cat stories asked if I would consent to have my story of Smokey as the bos'n of the good ship Mouser published on his web page. Jeeeeezzz - some people are hard to please. The webmaster already has some stories up from one among our number. Several of Jill Mcquown's articles grace the web site too. You can see it at http://blakjak.com/sty_menu.htm My stories should be up in a day or two, but hopefully you've already seen them. But seriously folks -- no, really -- a friend and true Net Ghod from another newsgroup told me long ago the some of his best stuff goes begging for a follow-up or a complimentary email. He warned me to expect the same. I know this has been discussed in another thread, but let me say it again, as much to remind myself as to counsel anyone else. If you're happy with the story, publish it and feel satisfied that it will likely be enjoyed by most of those who read it. If you garner any compliments, that's a bonus, not a payoff. Well, now I've made myself feel better. You'd think an adult would find that easy. Right! Regards and thanks for putting up with me, O J >So I'm sitting here whining to myself that I seemed to have gotten >relatively few follow-ups to my last two stories. Whine! Whine! Whine! Ha! I know the feeling!!! Even earlier this year when I posted something very important to me and thought was good, response was nearly zilch. I was so miffed, I ignored the group for over six weeks. Was I missed? Nope. Though I've been active here for nearly seven years, there was not even a "whatever happened to....?" Humph!!! Talk about an inane, infantile reaction!! I'm mature enough to know better but sometimes we do get a bit irrational. That said, I'm guilty as charged of not responding to good stuff. I've pretty much pared down replies to sending purrs when requested. Better late than never, be assured your stories *are* enjoyed and appreciated. In fact, I've saved those two you mentioned. I'm glad you wrote this - from now on I'll follow my better instincts and let folks know their efforts are not in vain. Thanks. Jeanne >Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >Smokey man who'd prefer to get picked up than leap to the top of a >counter on his own? Whine! Whine! Whine! No! I read it! I loved it! I hardly ever comment on stories though I love them. I try to always respond to purr requests. But it seems like I am always blabbing on here about something or other, and sometimes afraid somebody's going to say, "You can shut up now." Sherry >I try to always respond to purr requests. But it seems like I am always >blabbing on here about something or other, and sometimes afraid somebody's >going to say, "You can shut up now." Guess this pretty well describes my current postings tread. When I first started with the group last year, I posted several original stories, but have sort of tapered off. Now I usually respond to purr requests, but haven't really written any new stories. I read the stories, but usually only respond with a sort of "that reminds me of..." instead of commenting on how good the story may or may not be. Probably wrong to do it that way, since as CatNipped said, you need to give the story writer some little positive feedback if you want them to continue to contribute. As for my own meager contributions with original stories, I don't really look for positve feedback. I can spend all day at work thinking about the silly things one of the cat did, and how to tell the story. That's where I get the payoff, not from the comments of the readers. These days I still get a little concerned if there's no comment at all, but am happy with just a couple positive comments.

I think I did, although briefly, comment on the Puss Puss story - it was very poignant. But I have been remiss about commenting on all the wonderful stories that have been posted here, and do apologize. It is very important to give positive feedback if you want to see a behavior continue - a basic fact of human nature. I will try to be much more diligent in mentioning the fact that I very much enjoy reading a good story, especially about cats. Where else can you go on the 'net to find these gems??

Pam S. giggling (snip) > Well, now I've made myself feel better. You'd think an adult would > find that easy. Right! Hey OJ - and all others who take the time to post interesting stories and tales. Just wanted to add my 2p's worth! I don't post very much anymore, but have been around these cat groups since 1996. I know that if I start posting much again, it'll be back to the 2 hours a day I used to spend when I first discovered these groups, so I just have to stay in the background so I can get on with making a living ;-) BUT I do read every post, and please be reassured that all the stories are read and appreciated, purrs are sent when needed, and people's absence is noticed. I'm sure I'm not the only semi-lurker who does the same :-) Deb. Signaturehttp://www.scientific-art.com "He looked a fierce and quarrelsome cat, but claw he never would; He only bit the ones he loved, because they tasted good." S. Greenfield Deb said what's written below - I'd concur with her - I have to not reply so I can get stuff done. But rest assured, I still send purrs to all who need them and I laugh and cry at all the happy and sad stories and appreciate them all!

Oh dear, I'm sorry. When I log on, there are usually something like 140 new messages, and I can't possibly repond to all. But that doesn't mean I don't read or appreciate. Plenty of times I post something I think is a scream, and there's no response. I guess it depends on many variables.

Eh, if I ever grow up completley I give full permission to anyone to slap me silly with a soggy halibut. I figure the sign of true maturity is to understand when its ok to act totally immature. If I ever stop loving to swing high on swings, splash in puddles, see things in clouds and blow bubbles in my milkshakes, then I may as well be dead. I hope to be splashing in puddles when I'm 93 (and wearing purple hats too). Yowie > Eh, if I ever grow up completley I give full permission to anyone > to slap me silly with a soggy halibut. As the humor columnist Dave Barry once wrote: "What I look forward to is continued immaturity, followed by death." :) (Do the folks outside the USA get Dave's columns? He's hysterical.)

The one thing about me that I rarely tell people about? I was a member of a local branch of "Up With People"* in the 1960s/70s. And I have a copy of "Up with People on Tour". Heh. Ginger-lyn *Up With People was a national group that was put together with the intent to prove there were good, well-scrubbed, clean, non-dope-smoking American young people. Heh. They had small local braches in various cities, who went around singing and dancing their songs to nursing homes and farmers' meetings or whatever. And yep, I was one of 'em. lol! >>>Ok, music. >>> [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] >songs to nursing homes and farmers' meetings or whatever. And yep, I >was one of 'em. lol! So was Glenn Close.

Music: African folk music, African dance music, classical, American folk music (i.e. "O Brother Where Art Thou" stuff), Nine Inch Nails, Ango-Indian pop music (Bangra and suchlike), kd lang, Jeff Buckley, Mozart, bad 80s pop, Hoodoo Gurus (an Australian band), Hunters and Collectors (ditto), Regurgitator (ditto), TISM (ditto), Paul Kelly, Norah Jones, James Brown, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Simon and Garfunkel, Paul Simon on his own, Jethro Tull, They Might Be Giants, Violent Femmes, and I could go on but I chose not to. ... and I like insects, spiders, frogs, lizards, snakes *and* monkeys / apes (and cats, nach).

He is very tolerant to put up with my bizarre and eclectic musical "taste" (although I would argue that his taste is just as bizarre, but in a different dimension to me). Tish > >>>Ok, music. > >>> [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com > alt.tv.frasier FAQ: http://www.im-listening.net/FAQ/ OK, I'll play too. Music: American Folk (I like "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou" too), Aussie country, didgeridoo music, barbershop, some Weird Al, Tom Leherer, Irish Rovers, Clancy Brothers and an Alaskan performer named Bob Miller. I prefer animals with four legs or fewer, but like almost all of those, along with snakes. Movies: The Green Mile, Galaxy Quest, both Shrek movies and both Princess Diaries movies. Actors: Tom Hanks, Dustin Hoffman, Sean Connery and Harrison Ford. Ginger-lyn was an "Up with People" person? Kewl! I used to have one of their albums. Three years ago I visited Australia for the first time, and fell in love. With the country, and especially the Red Centre. Last year I went back, and as I took the train out of Alice Springs, I felt as though I were leaving my home, knowing I might never be back. Actually, I guess it makes sense. My physical home town and my spiritual home town have a lot in common - well, except for size. I was born in Los Angeles, which was named after a river which was named after a woman. The original name was El Pueblo del Rio de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles (The town of the river of our lady the queen of the angels). It sits in the middle of the desert, has a very low rainfall and often faces droughts. Alice Springs was named after a spring which was named after a woman. It sits in the middle of the desert, has a very low rainfall and often faces droughts. Both towns have a river which has very little water in it, except on those rare occasions when there are heavy rains, at which time there is flooding. For almost two years now, almost every evening I eat at home, my evening meal has consisted of a homemade chicken quesadilla and a salad. That's probably enough weirdness for now. -- Joy "You can never do a kindness too soon because you never know how soon it will be too late." - Ralph Waldo Emerson > OK.

Summer before last, my DH and I saw Jethro Tull in concert. It was one of the best I've ever been to. I wore Levi's, a dk. blue tank top, my cat ears, and long cat tail. The guy standing directly in front of us wildly played the air flute for pretty much the whole concert, which was quite entertaining in itself, and about half way through the show, Ian Anderson put down his flute and talked to the crowd. He made mention of his admiration of felines because of their attitude. >... and I like insects, spiders, frogs, lizards, snakes *and* monkeys >/ apes (and cats, nach). > >I am not yet 40 - there is a heap of wierdness to acquire over the >next half century. I'm a professional seamstress, however currently I'm installing a marble floor in the house of the lady my husband works for.

But be careful, theres the original 1983 version of "Send me an Angel", which is the one I want, but theres also a 1989 remix. They had another hit here called "Catch me I'm falling" and then faded into obscurity. But apprantly they were *huge* inthe USA, and now have a cult following over there. Which is why I could get their first CD fromthe USA, but not from here, even though *technically* they are an Aussie band.

I used to tell people I was ten years older than I am in order to get them to say that I don't look my age. It back fired on me, so now I admit to being almost 49.

I hate to appear so needy so I used what, I hope, was a little humor as a way to distance myself from being so out front about it. Hugs to you all. Regards and Purrs, O J > Thank you all very much.

Pam S. also needful I try to get on every day and love reading your stories and the stories posted by others. I don't usually have time to post a reply tho. Please don't feel that we don't enjoy the stories.

I always scan for requests for purrs and hate it when I learn I've missed a need for purrs because it was bedded in a response to another post unrelated to the purr request. But I really do enjoy the stories and anecdotes that everyone posts. Julie, Hobbes, Selena, Lacey and Sam |
