Great. Any news on Henry?

>Great. Any news on Henry?

Yes. He is in a blissfully happy home, with other kitty friends, an
educated cat-custodian and is integrating wonderfully. I've gotten
several pics which are extremely encouraging.

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.

He's so gorgeous and the pics were very nice! I liked the one of him
in the sink. ;)

Isn't that cute? I happened to walk by the bathroom and there he was,
looking utterly adorable. Fortunately my camera was close by. ;-)

Pfft. You can't even imagine something that would make my skin crawl,
little man. I was just wondering about Henry. I don't see him as being
quite as "lucky" as you do. I imagine he is a bit tired of being tossed
around. Thanks for the update. (P.S.--try and send off the nasty
posts before you've lost the capacity to operate your newsreader,

Doesn't matter. The entertaining part is trying to guess what that
something is.

Well, if he is he doesn't show it. He's happy as a duck in water, by
all outside indications...

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.

Oh, I can sum her up for you....

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...

Thank you. I regret that such highbrow forms of entertainment

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.

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.

Now this is interesting. What is "frightening" about my behavior, and which
behavior would that be?

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?

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:

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.

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.

I can't know for sure if that Pammy person was you or not, but it does seem

It is making me flipping mad because Lyn is having a bad day to begin
with. Even if I was madder than a hatter at someone, I would not be such a
