This morning I received a phone call from a woman who is desperately in need
of help, I did what I could do to try and solve her problem and then said I
would go to my ng to see if I could get further advice - I just know that
someone will have the answer.

I know the object is to stump the AI, but I am always so delighted
when it correctly guesses what I'm thinking with just a few well-placed
questions. Guess I never outgrew my childlike enjoyment of wondering
"How does it DO that?"

I dropped by the shelter again today and donated some stuff that Oscar
rejected -- a hut-type bed and a few dancy toys.  Then I asked to see Eros.
He's still in the cat condo, but his buddy Tucker is gone.  No surprise there;
kittens adopt fast.  Instead, he has two more sedate ...

OK, fes up, how many Bubbels Virgins are there apart from Suz.
I am now up to three clearances - I know this is a poor record when
compared to Bubbel champions with brilliant low scores and astronomical,
block-busting high scores.  I am still convinced there must be a secret

Sorry I've not been around recently (in case anyone has noticed) but my old
'puter died: adding SP2 to XP stopped it booting up at all, and total
reformat & reload didn't help for long..................
So you can guess who's off my card list this season.

I took Bandit to her new TED today (and I was *VERY* favorable impressed
with their entire organization), "Just Cats" in The Woodlands, TX.  The tech
was extremely knowledgeable and gentle, the vet was *very* thorough - the
physical exam included checking her temp (with an ear ...

After buying numerous bits and pieces (paper/scissors/stickers/punches/etc)
for months, I've finally gotten up enough nerve to start a practice
scrapbook page using photos of my Chessie cat.  Had various bits and pieces
out on the kitchen table trying to decide the arrangement of 4 ...

I found a little clip of an Abyssinian momma cat and her two babies. Very
cute! If you want to watch go to http://www.miu-nefer.nl/english/home.html
click on Photos then click on the one that says "movie". It's 5.12MB and
runs for two minutes. The momma cat looks a lot like Abelard!

Well, I put up the Xmas tree.  It's just a little artificial one that
my roommate owns.  It's a short on that sits on the kitchen table,
cause we have no other place to put it.
As I was setting up the branches on the table, Mischief leaps up onto

We took our foster kitty, Smokey, Grayling, or Whatever His Name Is,
back to the Haven last night as he's now ready to choose his
onetruehome.  It was a parting filled with mixed emotions and a lot of
confusion.  I think Grayling, or Whatever His Name Is, had decided that

Last night I was in the kitchen doing something and Vino was sitting
on the floor looking up at me.  I opened my eyes really wide and
stared him down.  He immediately looked away.
A little while later I looked down again and saw him looking at me.

I have decided I am going to clear the screen of bubbels or die in the
attempt. (I can just see the small news item in the paper - woman passed
away from starvation in front of a screen of bubbels.  This curious
event is being investigated by the Bubbel Squad)  Do you know I have

Managed to Score 260970 last night after clearing the screen.
And did that stop me?
