Louis and Tiger are ecstatic. Louis has stopped peeing on doors, and they have resumed their previous chasing-each-other-like-maniacs and cuddling behavior.
I tally this more to Henry's extremely lucky existence (four people who fed him in the wild and kept him out of the cold, one who took him in and a perfect final destination) than any skill on my part - though Megan was the one who finally put things in place.
Which of course makes your skin crawl, which of course delights me immensely.

>Thanks for the update. (P.S.--try and send off the nasty >posts before you've lost the capacity to operate your newsreader, >eh? That's a good fellow.) Oooh.. and patronizing too! You're much more fun than the garden-variety troll. Hats off to you. I wish I could find out the root of your hatred of Megan and her friends. I could then attempt, Hannibal Lecter-like, to probe into your brain and make you overeat, forget to floss or drive too fast.. or something.
Megan seems to post useful info (by google) and I've had personal experience with her competence. You by comparison, seem to be limited to snarky comments that one could make on any group regardless of your own expertise (speaking from experience.. I'd give you my old nick on sci.physics.relativity, but it would trigger death threats which would seriously f.ck with my son's college education).
You gotta give me more to work with, though. I've been to the flamewars on misc.fitness.weights, and I have my scars. I don't do politics anymore but I still love a good scrap. But a battle of wits is pointless with an unarmed opponent.
Oh, and post some useful cat advice occasionally to add to your otherwise absent credibility. If you're just a clueless troll you're much less entertaining. Right now the pattern is:
Q: "I'm doing this thing with my cat.." A: "Good job. Best of luck" Q: "Megan told me to do this thing with my cat" A: "You pitiful moron.. your cat will die a painful death and soon, because Megan hates America and all that is good"
Or... give me your summary history with you nemesis, and attempt to gain my sympathy. A history like "Megan killed my firstborn and ate his brain" or "Megan triggered World War III and helped Bush get elected" might make me (and the other folks here as equally irritated) more sympathetic to you. Give it a shot - I'll read and evaluate. I'm fairminded. After all, I'm a Republican turned Democrat, Catholic turned Agnostic, Taco Bell fan turned make-your-own-damn-nachos-at-home-in-ten-minutes.

You're sooo smart, aren't you, Miss Mary...? You know what you look like, with your perpetual sneer and your cheap shots? You look like a rube. A poorly-scrubbed, hustling rube with little taste... A high-school education has given you some length of sentence, but you're not more than one generation from poor hillbilly trash, are you, Ms. Mary...? That accent you're trying so desperately to shed - pure Nawth Car-lina. What was your father, dear? Was he a pig farmer? Did he stink of the sow...? And oh, how quickly your father found you! All those tedious, sticky fumblings, in the back of heated barns, while you could only dream of getting out - Going away - Getting anywhere - just as long as you could be accepted! And how you'd hate to think you were common! My, wouldn't that sting! Well you're all too common, Mary. That's why you are so tedious.
Squeal back to the pig barn, now. Squeal, squeal, squeal...

I thought Lynnie's good friends ought to see how their good friend attacks others merely because she disagrees with them. I received an email about her attributing a post there to me that I had nothing to do with, and I saw that she told her friends there that "Mary is someone who cannot get a response from me in the cat groups so she is trying here." I had never even posted their nor did I know she did. Now I do. And they need to know that she is a liar.

Now I do. And they need to know > that she is a liar. First off, Lyn and I do disagree, but there is no lashing out because neither of us has a tendency to act like an ARSE! We just put it off to agree to disagree. Even if she did lose it with you, you have proven you have more than asked for it and your behavior is frightening.
This is a group of women struggling with very serious personal issues and losses and you post thing that are not appropriate and disturbing to many here.
You don't have the decency to solve your conflict with her one on one. You have the need for an audience.
I am sorry you are so lonely. I also have too much time on my hands being I have been stuck in bed for 23 and a half weeks, but as frustrated as I am, I would never take that time to try to do harm.
Find another use for the internet. Take an online anger management course.

[quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > you have proven you have more than asked for it and your behavior is > frightening. Now this is interesting. What is "frightening" about my behavior, and which behavior would that be?
> This is a group of women struggling with very serious personal issues and > losses and you post thing that are not appropriate and disturbing to many > here. Jo. I believe Lyn wrote the "disturbing" things. Was there something disturbing about what *I* wrote? No, there was not. I just agreed with sicko Lynnie, as that seems to be what she needs to hear. I aim to please. So what are you talking about?
> You don't have the decency to solve your conflict with her one on one. You > have the need for an audience. I don't have a "conflict" with Lyn. I was not even addressing anything to her when she responded witht he post I crossed over to you folks so you can see what your good buddy REALLY says to me when I am not even talking to her. Surely you recall the post in which she accused someone else of being me, and told you that "Mary cannot get a response to me in the cat groups so she's followed me here," right? The fact is, I had not. But the most important fact is, she was lying. She made this post:

... in response to a conversation I was having with another poster. So she lied to you--yet again. Lyn is a liar. This is something you should know.

Take an online anger management course. I appreciate your no doubt very sincere (!) advice. Just as with Lynnie, I am sure you are right. although, you must admit, the anger in the above post does appear to be coming from your good friend Lyn, Jonathan's mom.
Just remember: the truth will set you free. Every time.
With all good wishes,
Mary
Jo - 28 Mar 2005 21:35 GMT The truth is, she has never lied to me. It is none of my business what she posts in another group. You are the one who is cross posting to groups that it does not belong in and therefore you are the one who is posting inappropriate material. Not Lyn.
Of course in your unstable condition, you lack the ability to know this and perhaps if you take a step back and retrace your actions you might understand what is being said to you.
I will no longer be seeing any more of your posts as you are not worth the time.
