  4. Thank you all for your kind words. They mean a lot! It's been a hard week. Getting better though. I created a FlickR account and posted two pics of Figaro. I hope it works, first time I used it. I found a new kitty on Craigslist on Saturday. Looks like Figaro's twin. His name is Maximus, or Max. I brought him home and so far, so good, except that he attached the dog and kept me up crying for the first two nights. He's a big four year old. 13 pounds. I was going to get a kitten, but saw him and fell in love. I guess the psychiatrists would say that I was trying to immediately heal the pain.
  5. That reminds me of the guy who built a beautiful 30 foot cabin cruiser......in his basement.
  6. My "son" Figaro adopted me 10 years ago. I was living in an apartment complex in another part of the city. One day I drove into the parking lot and he and a bunch of other cats were frolicking around in the parking lot, hiding under cars. I went out later with a can of tuna fish, and......well lets just say that we were the best of friends for the next 10 years. We moved together twice after that and for the past 5 years have been living in a house that he's been able to go outside because it is fenced off. "Figgy" has always been a big boy. He loved to eat. Up until three months ago he weigh

  10. Perfectly said, JDoors.
  11. What a segue THAT was! (do the) Hucklebuck
  12. I have several people that I consider heroes/ heroines. Anna Frank has always been on top of the list. I recently found this illustration online and would like to share it. Shalom, Joe
  13. ... "Tom Sawyer" Becky Thatcher (Tom's childhood love) Some notes for those of you that forgot: "Becky Thatcher - Judge Thatcher’s pretty, yellow-haired daughter. From almost the minute she moves to town, Becky is the “Adored Unknown†who stirs Tom’s lively romantic sensibility. Naïve at first, Becky soon matches Tom as a romantic strategist, and the two go to great lengths to make each other jealous."
  14. Doesn't he have a cd burner? Windows has a basic burning program built in.
  15. Mad.......magazine:-) required reading
  16. That's great! I oftened wondered about meeting online friends in real life. Of course it could be a double edged sword too. Back in the REAL old days, way before the internet, (I was maybe 13 years old?) I started fooling around with CB radios. Well it was kind of like a very limited web, in the respect that you would talk locally to people that were "friends", but you didn't know. Well I developed this great "long distance" relationship with a slightly older than me high school girl. Being that I was still in jr. high, I did not know here. She had a little get together for a bunch of us CBe
  17. Hey!!!!! Have a great birthday!!!!!
  18. Well, the $%#&ing air conditioner decided to quit today. I nursed it back to heath twice, but it only runs a few hours and then shuts down. The problem is that it's overheating. And it's old. My AC guy has been promising to do something with it since last March. Now of course he doesn't answer the phone. Got home tonight and it was like a sauna in the house. It's 110 outside and probably 109 in the house. I'm going to stick my head in the freezer. Maybe even see if I can climb in entirely. Joe
