death by hurricane - 22 Oct 2005 01:02 GMT > Mike around? I'm glad to see you're still kickin' TA! I left for awhile after I pissed off even some of the people here I actually like. Now, more sedative prescriptions in hand, I am going to give it another go. You and I will talk outside here. But I will say this to tell you more than you want to know: I'm moving again in a few months, just into either the town of Prescott itself (I live in Prescott Valley - me no likey anymore) or some outlying area where I can have a little space. And, I've adopted TWO CATS!! They're named Nickie and Dahlia. I work at a cat rescue house four or five days per week doing everything except veterinary work, and I've become quite attached to the place and the 25 or so cats that are passing through at any given time. Anyway, Nickie is a beautiful little tuxedo just like my much-lamented, late great Sweetie. Dahlia is just one of the most beautiful black cats I have ever seen. She was real skinny when she came in but now she's filled out and is gorgeous. They're being boarded at the rescue house until I move. I can't wait.
Thanks for asking and I'll try to stay around.

Fine company deserves fine drink. It eliminates the fear of running short on both.

One of > mine had kittens recently so now I've got 5 running all over the place here > (only going to keep 2 though). While we're sharing cat stories, ours had to have ear surgery last week so she wore the "cone of shame" upon completion.
...for twelve hours, then at 4:00am I go out to investigate a noise only to find the former "radar kitty" frolicking joyfully and jumping over the barrier I had put up to rein her in so she wouldn't get her rice-paddy hat wedged under the furniture.
Meanhile the cone is lying right in front of the bedroom door.
She had spent the entire time home pawing at it and walking backwards trying to take it off, so she was celebrating. She even tittered at me as if to say "isn't it great?"
Needless to say I went back to bed...

My deepest congratulations/condoleances (as apropriate ;) ). Think I heard some talk about it before I dissapeared, but that was more like planning I think (but then again, I've got the memory of a gold fish so i might be wrong. So now you've got your personal full time mechanic to fix you up when needed, must be nice ;) ;)

Oh, I'm rather happy about it, thank you!
<<I've got the memory of a gold fish>>
Do gold fish have bad memories?

Indeed.

That would make living in a ten gallon tank a bit less tedious.
