A bit of good news from our revered (?) health authorities (or not):
Announced on tv yesterday: eating a bit of DARK (not milk) chocolate
contributes to lowering blood pressure (not noted how much either chocolate
nor b.p. lowering). I intend to take advantage of this blurt 411 ...

Howdy, all!
Can anyone help a poor 'bat?  I'm doing lots of volunteer work for the
local SPCA, and the goofs running the show have NO supplies, NO plans,
NO anything...Boy, could I tell you guys some STORIES!

Top of the list has to be Trouble.  
I didn't give Trouble her name.  Hubby did.  Or maybe she gave it to
herself.  She certainly earned it.  The night we found her it took
about two hours to catch her, one hour to research how to make kitten

so hard to go to work when your kitty is purring next to you and
helping you watch the TdF ...

Every couple of weeks I refill Persia's "sock" with the good catnip (I keep
it stored in the freezer).  Her "sock" has a velcro closure to make emptying
and refilling it simple.  Catnip only makes her slightly crazy.  She doesn't
normally get the zoomies but she rolls around with it ...

Spoke to my neighbor on the bus today, come to find out, Possum has been

I feel absolutely horrible and not just a little bit embarassed. *sighs* So
a shot later, and pills (yay) we'll go back in a week.

SammySamSam - my gray stray who was left behind last year when his slaves
moved away has just jumped up onto the couch and with a beseeching look has
moved the laptop off of my lap and curled up on my lap and gazes into my
eyes as I stroke his ears. It makes typing difficult so I ...

Along with libel, now. I have documented proof that you promised to pick
Conan up, and that you contracted with me to do it, then went back on your
word. I have the email where you offered me your cell phone number--and
where I asked if I might call you after you picked Conan up,and ...

The girls found themselves a new 'favourite spot' today... John's
laptop came packed in a huge box and I stacked it in the corner of the
spare room for want of any better storage spot. The girls sniffed
around it, and last night they got brave enough to jump up on top of

Silver has a strange fascination with the shower curtain... whenever
you go into the bathroom she'll follow, and then jump up onto the edge
of the bath so that she's sandwiched between the shower curtain and

For the past 2 years we have been trying to catch MamaKat - she is the
mother-cat of Weeble, Ernie, Mimi & Moe (but Weeb is older & from another
litter).
This afternoon I look out back, and there, in the shade of our dogwood tree,
