Yes!  I think THAT is what irritates me the most, I feel like I should brush something off my nose because it's in my peripheral vision.  >:( >:(

Yes, the brushing off is the most irritating, and you know what it is too.

Don't you love it when your cat sits on your lap, purring up a storm and then bites you on the chin.  :(  And don't you hate it while your cat is sitting on your lap, purring up a storm, biting you on the chin, you smell something awful.  8-P




Cat



I was seated in a crowded pub (60 people ? )  the other day, with 3 friends .... the 'local cat' (?) ... wandered right up to our table ... purred, looked at me. I responded in a friendly manner / petted it momentarily. Next thing ... it made signal of it's intent, standing on legs in begging way ... and leapt into my lap.

Spent a good half hour there (?) whilst I gave it loads of  love and attention.  I love it when they purr/ 'vibrate ?'  in a manner that tells you they're totally content. The name tag said 'Gizmo'.  Gizmo looked so deeply into my eyes at times ... for 20 seconds or more,  ... as though trying hard to read me / connect ? It was bizarre. What a tame cat though !  :)  8)


Yes, and of course, I loved 'Gizmo's' GOOD taste  :-X    ::) .... in picking 'Mister' .... to be with ....... out of the whole pub !    :P  :D    ;D

^ That is so cool!

For some reason (even though I LOVE cats) if I see them in a bookstore or library, they just never seem to warm up to me.  I guess I should act more aloof and then they'd be all over me.  ??? 

Here is a reenactment of Al's pub trip.  ;)

No, I doubt that that's the case. The account she has now is the same account that she's had since the SMF version of this site opened up in April of 2004.

I seem to recall that someone posted a thread in Lend A Wing Up entitled "Unable to find member 'ktelqueen'"... maybe the email address used was invalid or something. I'll see if I can dig up that thread and read it to see what was going on.

yes...give it a try. :)

I hear ya. :-\\ Remember I told you guys about my graduation party on June 1st? Well, of all the people we invited, most of them did show up; but among those who didn't, 10 or 12 of them didn't RSVP. And I invited 5 people who I knew at CSUN; none of them could make it. Two of those folks had planned to come...but something came up for them at the last minute and I didn't know about it until the next day, in email.

You plan to have a big cookout for Saturday and everyone calls and says they can't come.




I can relate... I've been in situations like that. I invite a series of people to a party or other event and find out that most of 'em can't attend. :( What's even worse is when they don't RSVP to tell you whether or not they're coming....and eventually don't show up.

I can top all of that-there were 17 people who R.S.V.P.ed our wedding who did not show up-and we ended up having to pay for them anyway.  >:( >:( >:( >:(  The woman who owns the restaurant was very nice and gave us a break on our bill.

Well, this time the problem is a stereo. We bought it in November 2005 because the one we had before, its CD player stopped working. And now, 32 months later, guess what the problem is with our stereo (which we got in November '05).




















Yep, you guessed right. The CD player doesn't seem to work anymore. >:(

DYHIW you go on a LONG road trip and you are anywhere from 5-10 miles from home and traffic stops dead (and of course you have to go pee).

Like I did ... when I ran across that 'ex from hell'  ... last week ... who's caused untold damage to my psyche. However, wise people in the past ... have advised me to never engage in conversation with her again. Probably right, as trying to get a load of thoughts / feelings / resentments / explanations off the chest ... could lead to a chink in the armor, and the temptation for another try (futile ... not to mention her damaging fireworks / scenes) .

Yes, sometimes better to bite the lip, than go for the immediate feel-good payoff !

When unwanted noise ... constantly seems to be invading your living space ?

If I had a penny for every time VERY loud drilling sounds ... cut through my walls, and make it hard to think !  >:(

This kind of thing ... happens so frequently in the high rise where I live ... and the sound travels uncannily ...  so that the actual drilling may be floors or several flats away ... but cuts through so many apartments ... like a hot knife through butter.


Whether it's renovations to somebodies unit, or simply putting up 'Fire sign' warnings ... it seems never ending. Goes on for hours on end, but intermittently, so ... just when you'd gotten used to some peace again ...... Grr !  >:(  Don't know what's holding the building  up ?  There's probably more holes, than concrete now !  ???    ::)

My dad still accidently called it.  Back in the day when the nearby towns had a single digit town code.  He was calling his office whilst out on a job.  In the pay phone he forgot what he was doing and dialled 9 for an outside line as though he was in work and then dialled another 9 (as the local code for Leicester).  Next heard "Emergency Services.  Which service do you require?"  ;D

Guess you've got a point ... I would cut THIS big mother, into at least four, maybe eight !

Yes  ..... I DO have a masher, saucepan .... however, mashing is not something I usually do .... preferring to avoid washing up saucepans, etc .... when the potato .. if good ... tastes similar to mashed, when microwaved.

However , if I remember ... will probably go down that route.

Of course, I forgot about the washing up side of things.

When half of the big potato you microwave  ... turns out on opening ... to be ROTTEN. NO clues from the OUTSIDE .... to alert you . So ... you've paid TWICE as much as you should have ... AND lost half your meal, to boot !   >:(



Bet the store that sold 'em ... knew they were of poor quality !  >:(


This has happened to me, but I don't think the potato was rotten. When you micro it cooks the food from the inside out. If the potato is too big than the inside overcooks. Could it be that this is what happened?  It does have a blackened rotten appearance when it happens. It is always better when microwaving a potato not to get a very big one.

Interesting theory .... maybe there's something in that ? ..... However, I have cooked huge potatoes .... where this has NOT happened ... so    :-\\


This one didn't actually go black .... but it's texture ... when I pressed it with the fork ... was totally wrong, unlike the surrounding areas. It had certainly been cooked long enough.... I kept giving it more time, to try to soften THAT part of the spud up (core) ... which cooks first.

Think I've heard this can happen when they haven't been stored right / been frozen ?

When you click on a link here .... e.g post ... and wait, and wait, and wait .... only  to realise ... SOMEHOW .... that 'click' did NOT register ( maybe 15 seconds later ?)

Seems to be happening a LOT to me ... lately ......... and ..... I AIN'T sure whether it's this site, my mouse, my computer (virus/ spyware ? ) ... or I'm just not clicking hard enough (too soft ? )  anymore ?

Could even be something else ... but ................. GRR !

YES ! I have noticed that TOO  ... lately. Thought it was just a local problem / something at MY end.

Maybe some recent filters the mods have applied ?

As for the mouse being unrespondent ... maybe best to DOUBLE click ... when submitting ?

I'll see if that works.

Comforting to know ... we're all in the same boat. As for the cold .... I'm starting to think I MIGHT have just started to see daylight on one that's been bugging me for 4 or 5 days ?

Sounds a bit vindictive to me.  You could shove raw tofu down her throat.  That's a fate worse than death for human carnivores.

Totally. On a similar note, I HIW the server just slows down, especially when I'm in a hurry.
