Well, I got my negatives all doubled up there, but you know what I meant.

16956. Macnas - 10/10/2005 4:03:57 PM

No, I do.

Wabbit,
I had a meeting with the women interested in eradicating the feral cats and they are as follows: a federal lawyer just new in the area, never married with two large dogs; a married dentist with three children and a thriving practice; a recently divorced real-estate broker with two children; and yours truly. The three women are young and treated me with kid gloves. Foreignness and age have a lot to do with this and we wasted much time because they felt they had to make me particularly welcome. Once they knew when I became an American citizen, the questions ceased. Next meeting, there will be four more women.

Anyway, they are interested in forming a group that will take care of problems in the area like the one about the cats. None of the three is interested in politics because each one is far too busy to think about what is going on--however, they would like to relax sometimes at night and they all know a cozy place where we could chat and have a couple of drinks. I think I committed myself to something I may regret, but then again it could be interesting. I could be the chaperon, the counselor, and the driver, I guess.

Did you have an enjoyable weekend, Mac?

16959. Macnas - 10/10/2005 5:12:56 PM

Very good, went to a clay shoot up in Tipperary, cut the grass at home, nice time with the family.

16960. Macnas - 10/10/2005 5:47:08 PM

Home time, yay!

Lincoln, Nebraska, recently adopted a feral cat policy with involves picking them up, neutering them, and releasing them. Previously, they picked them up and killed them if they were unclaimed after a period of time. They claim their new approach will reduce or eliminate feral cats in a more humane way.

Yes, it will...they will eventually die of natural attrition and in the meantime, keep new cats out of their territory.

This is the flag of pakistan



Anyone see why this is an impossibility?

16964. Magoseph - 10/10/2005 11:49:54 PM

You mean that no star is on the moon?

I stole the following:

Theodore Roosevelt Heller
Theodore Roosevelt Heller, 88, loving father of Charles (Joann) Heller; dear brother of the late Sonya (the late Jack) Steinberg. Ted was discharged from the U.S. Army during WWII due to service related injuries, and then forced his way back into the Illinois National Guard insisting no one tells him when to serve his country. Graveside services Tuesday 11 a.m. at Waldheim Jewish Cemetery (Ziditshover section), 1700 S. Harlem Ave., Chicago. In lieu of flowers, please send acerbic letters to Republicans. Arrangements by Chicago Jewish Funerals, Douglas MacIsaac, funeral director 847-229-8822, www.cjfinfo.com.
Published in the Chicago Tribune on 10/10/2005.

Good morning, Mac.

It's a stencil.

Did anyone notice the above sentence in the obit I posted this morning?

16971. thoughtful - 10/11/2005 3:11:00 PM

This flag suggests that the only part of the crescent moon that is there is the visible part and it is possible to see stars through the dark part. But that is clearly impossible. And certainly there are no stars between the earth and the moon.

16972. alistairconnor - 10/11/2005 3:47:02 PM

No, T, it's a reference to our extraterrestrial ancestors. The ones who left that big rock in Mecca.

16973. thoughtful - 10/11/2005 5:02:04 PM

And what's the problem with this?

16974. alistairconnor - 10/11/2005 5:17:55 PM

cogs can't turn. They lock each other.

Circular deadlock, we call that in my trade.
