Dang, that really is an eternal cat.
Yeah, after reading that the current record-holder is only 26, I realized that there's a small but significant chance she might have been the oldest living cat at the time she died.
We've only had to put down one cat, but we had one disappear on us (I hope she was merely snatched rather than run over) and gave another to a farm along with the less independent of her two kittens. I'm hopeful mine will have a good decade or more before health problems start cropping up.
Timelies all!
Yay for good Slinky news!
Nilly, as usual, has said it much more eloquently than I could. If I have hurt or caused offense to anyone here, I ask your forgiveness.
Nilly, so wonderful to see you and your post.
I'm glad Slinky will be with you for a while longer, Steph. And it's good to see your pixels, Nilly.
Nilly, insent at your profile address.
Wow, nothing brightens up a blah day more than seeing Scott Walker lose.
That's a nice side benefit of so many Republican candidates. Goodbye to you! And you!
ION, I am posting from my new computer and it is so fucking shiny! And small!
Spent tearing through all my totes where I'd shoved mail that had been clogging my car back when I'd cleaned it before heading to my parents. I thought I'd left my "skip the trip" (and six points of identification) on my passenger seat to be easily accessible, but it wasn't there. Not in the totes of mail either. So now I'm looking for my binder with my ssc and birth certificate etc, can't find it! So I'm resigning myself to doing the dreaded deep clean on my apartment.
So I begin by cleaning out a tote and putting away makeup and toiletries from my trip north, and lo and behold, my mail in license renewal! Phew!
Still gotta find the important documents though, but it's not as urgent now now. Poor apartment . . .
I'm pretty sure that I've got stuff in my car that I think I've lost. Like my fitbit charger cable. Woe. But have I done the deep clean that finding it requires? No, I have not.
ION, I just sent out my first set of tunes to my beta listeners (meep!) so between that and the video of our band's debut gig (we're backing up a local singer/songwriter) I am quite worked up. (Which also means, Amy, amyth, & tommyrot: insent!)
