Got the bag!

Victor Martinez - 20 Jan 2005 21:36 GMT
I got the bag today, loaded the batteries and released the monster!!!
All the cats were sleeping at the time, but one by one, they all woke up
and converged on the bag. Fez was the first to smell the bag, but he did
not dare to touch it. It was his brave brother, Rufous, who gathered
enough courage to attack the moster in the bag. Pictures posted here:

I also added a picture of Luna teaching Rufous to eat his veggies:
http://tinyurl.com/4d73u

All photos are in the RPCA_Pictures group in Yahoo, under the folder
called Victor's crew in the Photo Albums. :)

Oh my gosh look how BIG Rufous is now. Can you believe he used to be that
tiny little kitten?

I'm getting this error message with those links:

My guess is you showed us the "editor" links instead of the "anyone can view"
links?

Are you a member of RPCA_Pictures? That would would stuff it up if you
aren't. Otherwise, no idea. Perhaps Yahoo was down when you tried.

You have to be a member of the Yahoo group to see the pics. Ditto with
Catslaves, another RPCA-related Yahoo group.

Get yourself a Yahoo ID (make sure you tell it you don't want it to spam you
to death) and then sign up for RPCA_Pictures
http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/RPCA_Pictures/
and while you ar ethere, sign up for Catslaves
http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/catslaves as well (I have to approve
catslaves memberships - but if I know its you I'll do it ASAP rather than
waiting for you to answer the "why do you want to join" form letter. )

Okay, I really don't get this.  If I log in as my userid (bounceswoosh) and
try to go to the links below, I just get the error I mentioned.  If I try to
go to the "Photos" section from www.yahoo.com, it takes me to a place where I
can *publish* photos.  I see no way to just join the group that lets me see
these photos.

Going to groups.yahoo.com and searching on rpca doesn't work, either.

Heeeeeeelp!

Tried it on Firefox, through a proxy from home, and on IE, which is running
through the corporate proxy.

No such thing as a direct connect from here, so it's *possible* the proxy
thing is the issue ... I suppose ...

Yes, but are you a member already?  I suspect the issue is *becoming* a member
of the group, not viewing it if you're already a member.

I'm on Firefox too, sometimes through a proxy and sometimes directly.
Hasn't made any difference for me. Hmmmm...

Oi! Yowie! (I mean no disrespect ma'am, sorry for shouting... :))
Has Monique already been invited to Catslaves?? She can't seem to get to
see the pics Victor posted there. If she *has* been invited, is there
something wrong??

They're actually in RPCA_Pictures which Victor moderates.  If you go to
Yahoo groups and find RPCA_Pictures then ask to join Victor will sign
you up.

Will this get you there:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RPCA_Pictures/

Or is it a hidden group, by invite only??

Bot Catslaves and RPCA_Pictures (dunno about RPCA_Photos) are hidden groups.
The idea being that you find out about them from here, rather than just
search the Yahoo groups for something you might like.

Whilst I know that there are a few people in Catslaves that don't read RPCA,
its not because they don't want to be part of RPCA, but rather the find they
can't be (due to time, or access etc etc)

Ditto. It's also asking me to log in to Yahoo when I click on the link to
the photo. Then, after I log in, I get the error message.

I wonder if it's a greebling making its way through Yahoo? I'll keep
trying. It's got to work sooner or later. :o)

Cute, but what kind of veggies are those?  Doesn't look like the stems of
leeks or green onion... hmmm.

I'll try it again tonight, when they get the crazies. That should prove

Leeks and green garlic. Luna *loves* all aliums. She also likes fennel.

Hi,I tried to access the pix. First Yahoo wanted me to sign in, which,
sinxce I'm not a member, can't.  Tried with the other tiny URL and it
wouldn't let me see - kept saying an error.

Obviously everyone else here is smarter than me.  HELP!

Shirley and Monique: go to this address:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RPCA_Pictures/

and click Join group, then follow instructions (works if you're already
a Yahoo member).

There's also http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RPCAPhotos/ just for photos,
and then there's Catslaves at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/catslaves/ 
where we have lots of stuff on rpca people and cats and other stuff.
With both, click Join group, but with Catslaves the process is more
involved (Yowie decides who gets to join).

Okay.  That finally worked.  Cute pics!  I really wish I knew why searches on
rpca didn't turn these guys up ...

 Maybe it's an "by invite only" -group, that you can't find unless you
are given the addy. I seem to remember that Catslaves is one of those,
not sure 'bout the pic group.
