Happy Birthaversary Lori, Plei & Paul!!!!
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Happy birthday, lori!
Happy annivesary, Ple and Paul!
Oooh, look at the wisdom Wikipedia laid out on its front page:
Anekantavada is one of the most important and basic doctrines of Jainism. It refers to the principles of pluralism and multiplicity of viewpoints, the notion that truth and reality are perceived differently from diverse points of view, and that no single point of view is the complete truth. Jains contrast all attempts to proclaim absolute truth with adhgajanyāyah, which can be illustrated through the maxim of the "Blind Men and an Elephant". In this story, one blind man felt the trunk of an elephant, another the tusks, another the ears, another the tail. All the men claimed to explain the true appearance of the elephant, but could only partly succeed, due to their limited perspectives. According to the Jains, only the Kevalins—the omniscient beings—can comprehend objects in all aspects and manifestations; others are only capable of partial knowledge. Consequently, no single, specific, human view can claim to represent absolute truth. Anekāntavāda encourages its adherents to consider the views and beliefs of their rivals and opposing parties. Proponents of anekāntavāda apply this principle to religion and philosophy, reminding themselves that any religion or philosophy, even Jainism, that clings too dogmatically to its own tenets, is committing an error based on its limited point of view.

You people aren't helping!!!
There is a cat and two kittens living in the woods behind my friend's house. She said that the shelters won't take them, and she's noticed that they're all huddled together trying to sleep on these past few cold nights. I'd worry about bringing a stray home for fear of Feline Leukemia. She said her neighbors have adopted some of the kittens, so she's going to ask if they've been tested.
It's be one thing if I didn't already have a cat, but I worry about mixing the strays with my spoiled kitty.

Definitely keep the strays away from your kitty! Could you arrange to take them to a vet and/or local shelter for the time being to have them tested?

The test for FIV/FeLV is really fast. The vet was able to tell me in 10 minutes.

Okay, now you guys are enabling me !
(Looks at who posted that.) Oh...right.
I'm going to wait and see what her neighbors say about getting them tested.
