Believe me, I have deve...d.b.echo-<BR/>Yes, the dryer... Believe me, I have developed a big new phobia about this.<BR/><BR/>Nan,<BR/>I'm glad to see you're back up on the net again. And yes, I will do the bag o' cats story soon. I still wish I would have taken pictures. Or video.<BR/><BR/>Gunny-<BR/>It's amazing how some cats act like dogs. Evil Fred acts just like a dog a lot of times.<BR/>Here's a little game your cat/dog and you wife might like. You have to look for one of those tiny folding fishing rods - I think they are called Picket Fisherman - and then you get something your cat really likes. We used a little piece of rabbit fur. You'll also need some kind of weight - ours came with a rubber thing. You attach it to the line and then you can cast it down your hallway or, perhaps, over the curtain rod, and fish with your cat. We call it cat fishing - no originality there.annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01306851407588054538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10884185.post-1140213474547318192006-02-17T13:57:00.000-08:002006-02-17T13:57:00.000-08:00Happy Birthday Anne!

But we are up and running now and have no excuses.<BR/><BR/>I love the cat in the bag story...<BR/><BR/>BTW - I had no idea my husband liked Bewitched. I have never seen him watch a single episode. Perhaps it is something he does when he is alone at night...in the dark...nadzenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00118013148711027625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10884185.post-1140057898017711962006-02-15T18:44:00.000-08:002006-02-15T18:44:00.000-08:00OH GOD NO NOT THE DRYER NOT THE DRYER!!!!!!!!Sorry...<B><I>OH GOD NO NOT THE DRYER NOT THE DRYER!!!!!!!!</I></B><BR/><BR/>Sorry.

C...cuz e-<BR/><BR/>Glad to see you're up and connected again. <BR/>Crapola about the power at the farm. On the bright side, gotta love that hot air heat! Otherwise you might have a real mess on your hands.<BR/>I was almost going to ad the "bag o'cats story" but, seeing as none of them actually died in that incident, I figured I'd save it for another time. Likewise with the baby powder thing. But, you're right, they are entertaining and I will have to ad them at some point.<BR/><BR/>I will try to send you an email today to check in on other items.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and on the hubby starting a blog...I've tried to convince him but I can't really see him taking the time to do it. He said that if he did, he would call it Conspirator's Weekly and devote it to all the various conspiracy theories he has. Starting with Craker Barrel. Don't even ask.<BR/><BR/>seestor-<BR/>I remember when we first brought Zagnut home and she clawed her way up Marc's bocy for a piece of salami when he was making a sandwich.
