Ann, that's a ferret.

Still waiting for the Washington Redskins to have a clue.

In that area, the Washington Redskins have made it clear that they don't want a clue.

To update:

The back problem appears to be muscle spasm. There are pills, there's supposed to be moving around. There isn't supposed to be much driving.

There will be 2 more cats this evening.

And there's one less computer at home. It died in a puff of smoke. Luckily, no flames, so nothing else damaged.

If I only had a brain...

Plei, I have different foot issues, but my best comfy shoes are from Naot and Beautifeel. Unfortunately, they're very very spendy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

More cats are always good.

Of course, as soon as I post this there will probably be a half-dozen posts contradicting me. But hey, I grew up on a farm - we usually had six to twelve cats and kittens at any one time.

Oh, dear, the magical blue smoke got out. Hard to pull a computer back from the abyss when the magic smoke escapes.

Yeah, totally. Which is why I do all my computer repairs under a lead crystal bell jar.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ack, Fred. Good luck w/ all that.

I am now ready for lunch. It is Not Lunch Time. I apparently didn't have enough breakfast. Hmph.

I have, OTOH, started doing work at work, which is exciting. Also I got offered more hours here, which I can't take. Everybody wants me!

Plei, I just found $255 Mephistos for $89 at a store in NJ that was making room for new stock. Froogle is my friend. The Mephisto store in town doesn't bother to carry my size, but I was able to try one size up.

I'd also be happy to take you to Nordstrom and shout orders when I'm in town. I learned long ago how to order them to bring out everything they have in my size so I can try it all on. I'm great in the shoe department, but invisible at the makeup counters.

Sorry to disappoint, but this will only make 3. Teddy's the 11YO big brother. The new arrivals are Max and Marie, 6YO Himalayans.

With a Buffista F2F connection....

We were looking for a place to board Teddy while we were at the F2F (because the usual sitter couldn't make it). When we checked out the boarding place, we met Max and Marie -- whose humans had abandoned them there. We fell in love with them, but had to wait for a release letter from the previous humans (and we didn't want to be away when the letter came in -- thus, our not being at the F2F). On Sunday evening, we finally got the call that the letter came in.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I've heard a crazy story about him going around the clock and not sleeping for days, then getting Bryan Singer to come and direct for a day so he could sleep.

That was an April Fool's joke for kongisking.net.
