OT: Ta-da! Policerule's "What Shoes Are you Wearing?'

[Madgrad]

Yay, kitty rescuers! I'm feeling rotten about kitties at the moment. One of our neighbors put up signs about a deaf, blind, old kitty who'd escaped the house, and it turns out I saw the cat on our property on Sunday! I thought she seemed off, but she wandered away and I didn't think about it again until I saw the signs this morning! We live in a wooded neighborhood with lots of fox, hawks, etc., so I'm fearing the worst. I wish I had helped her!

MWAhahah! I see my work here is done.

The Bag, for those of you who a.) missed the beginning of the tale and b.) care: while packing our car after staying over in Atlanta on the way home from Savannah, my mother left my carryon in the parking lot of the Atlanta Gateway Sheraton. Said carryon containing not only all the jewelry I took on the trip but also one of Hub's insanely expensive camera lenses. (Camera stuff insured, jewelry not so much, thanks to stingy homeowners policy.)

Mom felt really badly, of course, but it was just one of those things: they had a complicated parking system that required both a room key (they only gave us one) and a ticket...we had to make several trips back and forth when packing the car...long story short, it was raining and we were hurrying...It's a miracle the bag is back and with everything in it. I'm in the process of writing some pretty nice letters to Corporate - although I do wish I knew who had originally turned the bag in after finding it, so I could send her one hell of a Christmas present this year.

Cats: Actually all of ours are straight-out-of-the-street adoptees. You know how it is, if you don't mind cats you wind up with a lot of them....people really don't spay and neuter. Two of ours were born in the yard at my dad's old house, thanks to the redneck idiots that live down the hill from us. (I went down there and told them that I will be placing live traps on my property and will be having any animals I catch there spayed and quite possibly adopted out. It's slowed the tide somewhat....breaks my heart to see them not getting shots or health care for those animals...but this is a rural area and people have sort of a "barn cat" mentality about their pets...)

My newest critter, a gray mackerel tabby my husband named Mooch (she's my Smoochie mostly, of course), was fed by hand and not taught to hunt, until she got older and not as cute, so the neighbors let their dog run her off. She showed up in our yard, starving...what could we do? The joke's on the rednecks, though: She is AWESOME. Smart, friendly, playful....she may just be my favorite. Don't tell the others, though.

With a pair of black skinny jeans tucked into them ... I'd be tempted if it weren't coming up on summer!

See? Told ya somebody could pull 'em off! I know what you mean about summer, though. Then again, y'all could have some more snow (not that you want it). . .

Chains on your tires? Seriously, I understand your frustration. Lived it for a lotta years. Hopefully it'll just be rain.

Sorry to hear about that crap weather, Lynne...it's a little dank here today, actually. But I'm glad, because in two months hereabouts you won't be able to stand outside for three seconds before drowning in your own sweat.
