now, if i could only get DS OFF the "i want a dog" trip....

Man, my kids have been on that kick for about 3 years! Long before there was anything wrong with either of the cats, they were constantly asking "when the cats die, can we get a (fill in a type of dog)?" DS15 especially was researching all the different types of dogs. I'm not a dog person (although I grew up with them) and our lifestyle is not conducive to having a dog. And the fact that the kids who want them won't be around in not too many years doesn't help at all! I'm surprised none of them have brought it up yet today since now they just have one cat left. No really, they love the cat(s), but really want a dog.

Okay guys - the highlight of a not so good day:

My 1000th post!!!!

(Only took me well over 7 years!)

And believe it or not, 100 days until our trip to WDW!

Wow, what are the odds of that!

Dear Marciemi, I am sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you. My eight year old Niles(total anally Niles all the way) blew out both knees. yep. knee surgury times 2. priceless cat . love the little monster.
keep smiling.

have any of you threaders eaten at Cape May Clambake ?
I think it is at the Y & BC.
The spoodles menu changed and the comments are not good.l It was great last year, but i am not reading good things. We had booked that place twice.
any comments welcome.

CONGRATS on the 1,000th post

(I'm totally with ya on the "they won't be around much longer" and "lifestyle not conducive" thing....we are never home and i told DS, are YOU really gonna get up at 7am and walk the dog? DH won't do it, and i don't want/have time to do it....so, maybe when he's a bit older, but i don't see it happening for a looooong time....IF ever (and i grew up w/ a dog too!)

it's where we bury the bodies

no 'drawers' as my very proper southern realtives would say .

amity - did you check out their teeth too? I've paid for 3 sets of orthodontia - must not be a priority in England despite having national health care?

Figure you are the resident Busch Garden expert -- considering sneaking in a visit on 1st Saturday next Dec. Do you know how late they'd typically stay open? Is it worthwhile if we can't get there until after noon? Any other suggestions to occupy ourselves before cruise next day? Cannot decide whether to fly into MCO & hit U or WDW or go directly to Tampa.

they usually close at 6 or 7 early december. that's a lot of money for a few hours, but you may be very wealthy and not care.

there's plenty of things to do to fill up a day in Tampa.

Well Sanjaya is gone. Maybe next week Blake will go too.

 

[macraven]

marci, congrats on the bit 1-0-0-0
you are going to catch up with me real soon i bet.


fan2CSkr, i was wondering why i haven't seen you around.
and all this time i thought you snuck off to somewhere nice and warm and left all of us behind. hope you are feeling better.

damo, yea, that sanjaya is history. now i can go back and watch idol again.
i watched it tonight and felt so good this happened.
sorry out there if you are one of his fans but the boy can't sing.

and to the rest, hey homies!!

don't forget i won't be around for a few days.

 

[macraven]

i usually don't say this cause then you will think i am a loon but my cats are my family.

tonight i am sleeping on the couch to be next to the cat in her bed. she has barfed 2 times tonight and not doing well. she sleeps better when i am near here. and she will be traumatized with me gone a few days. i haven't told her yet.


for animal burials, i have a service. my last cat went out in style.
and i had a minister for the farewells.

I only had one cat in my life - when I was a teenager. His name was Panther and he was all black and he slept with me every night. But we let him roam outdoors during the day and he came home one day in bad shape. Looked like he had been hit by a car - vet said his jaw was broken among many other injuries. I didn't have the $$ to pay for the bills and neither did my parents. So we chose to put him down. The vet said that was probably the best decision because of the number of injuries he had.

ANYWAY...all that to say that I'd love to have another cat someday, but poor hubby is allergic to them. So I don't think it will happen.

Ok, I'm rambling...
Who's next?

I don't think that is loony at all. It's very sweet!!!!

Alright, I'm done for the night. Bye all!

[macraven]

all my cats have been indoor cats.

i know i will be flogged for saying this by other cat owners, but my cats are declawed all four feet of them.
they never go outside unless it is to the vet in a carrier.

melissa, you did the right thing for your kitty.




yea, mr mac said he was allergic to cats but i still kept him. the cat even likes him too......

Good morning all!
another rainy dreary day in the northeast.

anyone with a wet basement?????

No wet basement for me. But when the power came back on, my TV that's hooked up to the Tivo, and the under -cabinet microwave won't work. A few of my neighbors have similar problems too.

 

[yankeepenny]

Mac- my cat is family too!


saw that you know who got the boot......

all you idolers thrilled?????????????

nope, i'm a 'buy' product of the budget board who scrimps and saves to feed my Orlando habit...never know though, that next scratch off could put me on easy street.

those hours would knock BG out of the running then - back to drawing board.
