For the record... if you see a facebook post asking what the answer for the equation

6+1x0+2/2

it's 7

s-e-v-e-n

it is a national embarassment that only not only about one third of the people answer correctly, but that people who answer wrong are so adamant about it - even mean.

but it's 7.

Got my first flu shot ever this week. After the long lasting bronchial infection I just got over and the fact that my sick days are used up for the year, I'd better take extra care until at least January not to get some bug.

Shoulder cats

I've had three cats so far over the last 20 odd years and none have shown any sign of being a shoulder cat although especially my current one, 'Nightling', looks for lots of attention from me.



This wouldn't be my favorite kind of 'shoulder cat'. Looks like the cat is unstable (might want to use claws a lot to hold on) and I wouldn't want to turn my head if I were this guy and catch an unexpected whiff.

I would prefer a cat that drapes itself around my neck. I tend to like oriental shorthairs anyway, so maybe my next cat should be one of those. A long skinny one:)

And I am probably not an ideal candidate for a shoulder cat either. My shoulders are about a foot farther from the ground than most peoples' and my neck is rather thick plus I'm still more active than average. But it would be convenient to have a cat on my shoulder that I could pet rather than having her sitting on my mouse hand when I'm at my computer.

sorry .... just .... can't .... let .... this .... go ...


Now I know where you get all of your political knowledge...




ok.. I said it and I'm sorry....

27047. concerned - 10/26/2012 6:27:05 PM

No, you're not.

Here's something I've always wondered. I know that cats don't like to be laughed at, but considering that it has to be genetic who or what was laughing at cat ancestors millions of years ago and how and why was this trait selected for?

27048. concerned - 10/26/2012 6:28:09 PM

Maybe it's not the laughing noise per se but certain body language? Do I detect a whiff of Federal research grant money here?

27049. iiibbb - 10/26/2012 7:02:00 PM

I'm not sorry for making fun of the picture....

... and I'm not sorry that I find your debate style hard to cope with...

... but something about it I'm sorry for.

but that picture.... I'd say the same thing to almost anybody but my wife and mother in law.

27050. concerned - 10/26/2012 7:24:30 PM

No problem. I was just jesting.

Concerned's posts remind of The Fray...what a fine time that was.

I should move from CT to Florida to avoid hurricanes. Instead, my family now has a year round Lakehouse in The Berkshire Mts...go figure.

I'll probably have another baby going on by tomorrow... water broke.

27053. arkymalarky - 11/13/2012 4:04:23 AM

1) RIP Pelle. I am deeply sorry to hear of the demise of the "dour humorless Swede" of our small, scattered community. In fact, Uncle Smelle (heh) was a pillar and completely steadfast.


2) Thanks for trip report to Malaga, Connor. I liked the city a lot when I visited ten years ago. It had none of the absurd pretensions (or plentiful cheap degredations) of the rest of the Costa del Sol, and - as you note - has interesting side bits, including the Picasso Museum, and at least one amazing fish restaurant.

3) Concerned, I though for a second that was a glimpse at your face with the cat on back. Is it?

4) Congratulations iiibbb!!!
