    I really miss this place, it was such a huge part of my life many years ago and I made a lot of friends here. I was a moderator for several years, one of the first. I don't even know if anyone would remember me but just wanted to stop in and say hi in case any of the old friends I had were...

    What is a friend?

    Just curious how you all would define a real friend. What makes a real friend in your opinion? I have as of late had to stop and redefine my definition of a friend. I have found that a true friend is one who cares what is going on in your life and never deserts you...I am just real annoyed (to...

    Spare a prayer for Winky

    My very good friend Shannon stopped by last night to tell me that her cat Winky is missing. Winky is an indoor cat only, but got let out by mistake. Shannon is very close to Winky and is very worried. She only lives a couple miles from me so I have been keeping an eye out for her, but so far...

    I made a post here one year ago today. My heart was broke in two. I lost my Merlin one year ago today. I will never forget the pain I felt on this day. He was my child...I don't care that he was a cat, and not my actual child...he WAS my child...I raised him from an abandoned baby and had him...

I have a couple that come to mind....one is the woman nailing a "lost hamster" sign to a pole and the sign has the picture of the hamster and says REWARD in big letters, and the guy standing behind her sees the sign and then notices a hamster peeking...

    Problems with my e-mail notifications

    If I reply to a thread and then don't return or respond, chances are it is because I am not receiving any e-mail notifications of new posts in any threads I have posted in or any new threads I have started, and if I 'm offline for a few days it is hard to remember all of them to go search for...

    Pop tabs

    For one of my classes I have to collect a quart baggie full of pop/beer tabs. I get points each semester for a full quart baggie. This is hard since it takes so very many tabs to fill a quart baggie. (and I need to do it 4 times!) If any of you drink alot of pop or beer with tabs and want to...

    Does anybody watch Eden on the Fox channel?

    If there is already a thread about this, please let me know...I haven't looked...sorry. They didn't have it on last Monday on my Fox channel...did anyone see it and what happened? I really like it, didn't think I would...it looked kinda cheesy, but after watching the first one, I was hooked.
