Welcome Back

I've been away for a while, mostly because I'm technically inept and
couldn't figure out how to get on Usenet with my new IP. I've given up
now and I'm coming in through Google :p Yes, I'm a loser.

I see that we've lost Shmogg, which is bad news to come back to. Purrs
to Yowie and family, he'll never be forgotten. I guess I'll catch up
with things as I go along, but you guys have always been in my
thoughts, even when I wasn't reading the group.

There's not much news from my end, still happily married, still got
Ripley and McCavity, still volunteering for Cats Protection, and I'm
currently fostering a little black kitten named Annie who I collected
last Sunday night when she was seriously ill with cat flu. After four
days of intensive nursing and force feeding, and daily trips to the
vets for 'magic injections', she's decided to live, and has decided
that her new hobby is eating. I even caught her grooming herself
earlier today, so I think I can say that she's out of the woods now.

Anyway HI! to all who remember me. :D
