Home, where I want to be. Just checking in to see what hash AT&T has bestowed upon me tonight.
Anna Puma #212: ...And you gotta catch them all in a red/white ball.
Despite my attempts to avoid any- and every-thing pokeomonish, I have become aware that an old-fashioned red-and-white fishing bobber is involved.
I will never understand modern video gaming.
My knowledge of vidgaming ended at Space Invaders.

This news deserves it's own thread immediately!
=============
Good evening, overnighters. Sorry for being the bearer of this awful news.
Chi #402: Too bad mindful webworker ain't around. He could work "fainting goats" into another
conversation.
What the what? I check in late before bed and this is what I find?
Do I even want to know why y'all are talking about feigning goatse?
Anna Puma's black medium-haired (apparently) cat reminds me of our little gal Faithful. Faithful was probably the littlest cat we've ever had. Roxy was small in size, but fat.
Faithful's tail
My son called me from a gas station downtown one evening and said there was a little black cat that had come up to him, and was circling his legs.
At the time, we had something like a gazillion cats already (okay, five, plus a dog), and I told him, surely it belongs to someone around there, and absolutely, positively, do not bring that cat home.
Which was just as effective as when Buck wrapped himself around said son and his brother at an Illinois rest stop. (Buck's tail

Son named her Faithful after some cat in a fantasy book he'd read. She had one ear with a folded-over tip.
She was skittish (as small cats can be) but very affectionate and liked to ride on Son's shoulder. Like a pirate's parrot.
She lived at the office for a while. Liked to shred the wallpaper. She really liked to sit in Milady's lap while she meditated, and on my lap as I sat at the computer.
Later, she moved in with our son in his own apartment. But she would get outside and they worried she'd get hit by a car.
When the rest of the clan went out of town for a bit, she moved to the farm where I could watch her. She stayed out there after that. She really liked being outside, was frequently up on the roof or up a big mimosa (the tree not the drink).
She got weak and sickly briefly before she died. I found her one morning in a difficult position I don't want to relate, and she only lasted a few minutes after that - long enough for Milady and me to be with her at the end.
Wrote about her death, on the morning thread, 2014 Dec 4.

Received many condolences from the Horde.
Faithful was a good kitty, still much missed years later. And the shredded wallpaper remains as a reminder...
(...although Merlin has helped continue her redecorating work.

Seamus: ...This morning he is totally back to normal, jumping and playful as ever.
Hooray for happy endings! Scary story.
Pet thread! Woof! Woof!
(I see Seamus beat me to that, sorta)
At the "cat website" link,
Family Saves 3-day-old Kitten and Gives Him an Unusual Friend
was pretty cute.
As were all the Moron pets. Took me a second to find Brutus. I was thinking "top" and "bottom" meant two pix, at first.

And video of a snapping turtle at Blazing Catfur
This monster snapper hangs around the dock on occasion, I've handled him quite a bit in the last 15-20 years so he is used to my presence....

Time for that officer to go buy a lottery ticket.
1. You have a YouTube channel? I'll look for it.
2. I have had YouTube reject my videos more than once, claiming I used copyrighted music, and I filed a correction and they yielded. Probably wouldn't help in your case but auto-banning can sometimes behave badly but may be appealed.
3. Google B Evil in any case. :D

"Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me.
"But you ask, 'How are we robbing you?'
"In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse-your whole nation-because you are robbing me. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the Lord Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it...."
...nothing's better than having an entire army of scared shitless, cowed, spineless underlings to do every little thing you tell them to and twitch every little way you scream at them to twitch.
Now you're talking my language!
Chi? Still here? I thought I saw a couple of days ago that your charity case had been AWOL for a couple of days? Is that right, and if so, has your luck continued?
Tilikum? Still here? Did you ever lose that personal troll you picked up after joking with me yesternight? It reminded me of some previous case where some regular - I forget who - got a personal troll follower.
Oh, yeah... thanks for the post, Maetenloch. Nice buncha stuff. Sometimes in my haste I neglect to say that.

Holy moley, that's a triple crossing-the-memes award winner!
I am a healthcare worker and I've seen it all, but I'm still telling myself how lucky we are to be born now and not then when it comes to trauma treatment and med field in general.
I pray that when the SHTF, we aren't reduced to the level of care in the War Amongst Some States!
...Hans assembled two bicycles, and they fled Paris just a few hours before it fell....
Wow. I would hate to think of depending on my bicycle assembly skills in the last hour!
