I would have to go with "Fist City" by Loretta Lynn. My husband is a soldier, and may have to go to fight this war. Osama bin Laden will regret messing with my man!
"Tra la, it's May, the lusty month of May..." Can you tell that I was in the play, "Camelot" in high school? May Day always reminds me of my old friends and theatrical goals. I am very grateful that I did not choose such an unrewarding path.
This last month has been tough, but this past week...
Hello cat site-ers! I am back from a hiatus, and I can tell you that this has been a rough month. My kitties. Fergus & Dmitri, are all well, and so are my husband and me . (finally) I am going to check the latest posts, but please let me know if I am missing anything crucial.
I am happy to...
Deb -- thanks for sharing that quote. I needed it today because for some reason I have been feeling very negative. Your quote helped me put things in perspective!
Well, I am still struggling with a name for my gray boy. I like Stoli, and I think Sergei is cool. I have also thought of Koshka (the phonetic spelling of the Russian word for "cat"), or Pushkin. Maybe Misha or Vanya. Arkady? I just don't know!
I hope you are feeling better airprincess &...
Well, my two boys are settling in together. Fergus has taken to attacking the gray boy (in a good-natured way), and I am pleased that he is no longer running away. They are sleeping in the same room, so I have decided not to separate them and cause more of a disturbance.
I am trying to come...
Well, I think it is going well. The new fella is a gray male neutered stray. He actually looks a little like a Russian Blue, so we are going to give him some sort of Russian name.
The Gray Boy is bigger than Fergus, who is small and lithe. They are both playing volleyball with one of our...
Debby-- I am a big Billy Joel fan. In fact, my first concert ever was the Stormfront tour in 1989. It was so cool! He is just a great performer. I have been sad about his retirement from pop music, but admire the integrity that led to his decision.
Does anyone like country music? I am a...
I tend to agree with Hissy and Swalker. This is such a lovely site where we can exchange thoughts and ideas freely. Sometimes, when the issue of money owed is present, people avoid the situation by walking away, and it would be sad to lose any of our members.
I agree that if there is a...
threeleggedcat: you gave me a lot to think about. I was wondering about how to reconcile my belief that animals have spirit and their lack of self-determination. I am glad to have more to mentally digest.
I am so pleased that we can debate this and share our ideas. We have some great...
Hello all! I thought I'd start the thread for today because I am feeling chatty.
My husband left for the field today and will be gone for awhile. i am very lucky to be developing some great friendships with people who will help keep me company.
I am still cleaning up from our break-in, but...
The funniest thing Fergus does is hide under stuff and hit us as we walk by. We call him the "coup counter,'" because he looks so proud after a successful coup.
I am a Catholic, and though my religion says that animals do not have souls, I disagree.
First of all, I define the soul as that part of a being which is made of spirit, not substance. Everything real & intangible about a being is part of the soul. It is the soul that continues on after...
I am so terribly sorry to hear about your kitties. How a person could shot an innocent animal is beyond me
You and our cats are in my prayers. You are right to report this action to the police. The shooter is probably a very dangerous person.
I am so happy for you and your husband, Anne! And I am sure my husband is jealous. He would love to have a dog, but we are among the legions of apartment dwellers.....
We may be bringing home a new cat today...
My favorite is "Fall of Icarus" by Pieter Brueghel the Elder. I wrote my senior thesis about his work and some poems written about it -- "Musee des Beaux Arts" by W.H. Auden and "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" by William Carlos Williams. I love the pastoral peacefulness of this painting...
