Mornin' Cuzzies, No abandonment here.....just busier than I know how to do! Used to be able to whip mah wgt. in wildcats, and think on six threads at a time, but no mo. Maybe it'll come back. Got too used to being Sadie, Sadie, leisure lady. Now, it's about Gray, this strange cat who lives here, w/ the little white boots and little white nose and cheeks. He was always an aloof "cat," you who know cats know those, while the rest were lap cats and pets. Well, no more. I sit at the computer, and he arranges himself at my feet....touching yet. I watch TV in the evenings and he sits on the arm of the couch and puts a paw over my shoulder. I'm just not used to this togetherness w/ this cat. Cats are straaaange! And, doing bidness in this world is strange.....I am not of this generation. Everyone is incompetent, you can't understand them because they don't speak English that well, and they are dishonest. It's culture shock.....! o : Hope your days are going better.....mine will settle down eventually. Have a good one! Buckette
Sadly, we have become a people who are only as smart as your computer can think for you. Lord help us if there is a serious computer crash! My MIL that just passed was a full Filipina. She married a Navy man and after many years living in Japan, came to the States in the 80's. She worked constantly to perfect her English, but even after 20 years here had such a thick accent and would confuse words (surfboard and skateboard, etc). MIL wanted to work as a receptionist - she was a people person... but her son promptly told her that while she would be delightfully kind to customers, they wouldn't be able to understand a lick and therefore she had no business answering phones! Now, I am all for people's coming legally to our country and working hard like the rest of us. And I think everyone should have a chance at a good job - but like MIL, you must understand your limitations. While I speak other languages rather well, I would NEVER consider working in those countries on a telephone system! Buckette - we're in league together you and I! -SB > From: spice3@juno.com > Date: Fri, 1 Oct 2010 13:08:54 +0000 > To: lovelace@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [LL] Fri Oct 1, 2010 > > Mornin' Cuzzies, > > No abandonment here.....just busier than I know how to do!

Wife Susan is a dog lover, and I am currently in possession of two of those, with another (belonging to my mother-in-law) soon to join the pack when we get a granny cottage built for Susan's mom in our backyard. I dearly miss my cats, and I'm looking forward to things settling down so that I can bring one into the house. Now, for true cat lovers, go to http://www.simonscat.com/films.html . You may have seen one or two of these cartoons, since some have been floating around the internet for a while. But I didn't realize there were this many of them. They're all a hoot. This fella has kitty behavior down, and he is very successful in bringing it through in his cartoons. Enjoy! Peace, Part of the Tree, Greg
