I believe CG relented after hearing the many heartfelt appeals.

"Do a deed of simple kindness,
Though its end you may not see;
It may reach, like widening ripples,
Down a long eternity."
-Norris-

Thank you for our daily scripture, Mayor.
Hope you are having a lovely spring day.

Would your Mom like Hamlet's Cat, Jack?

Hamlet's Cat's Soliloquy

To go outside, and there perchance to stay
Or to remain within: that is the question:

Whether 'tis better for a cat to suffer
The cuffs and buffets of inclement weather
That Nature rains on those who roam abroad,
Or take a nap upon a scrap of carpet,
And so by dozing melt the solid hours
That clog the clock's bright gears with sullen time
And stall the dinner bell.

To sit, to stare
Outdoors, and by a stare to seem to state
A wish to venture forth without delay,
Then when the portal's opened up, to stand
As if transfixed by doubt.

To prowl; to sleep;
To choose not knowing when we may once more
Our readmittance gain: aye, there's the hairball;
For if a paw were shaped to turn a knob,
Or work a lock or slip a window-catch,
And going out and coming in were made
As simple as the breaking of a bowl,
What cat would bear the household's petty plagues,
The cook's well-practiced kicks, the butler's broom,
The infant's careless pokes, the tickled ears,
The trampled tail, and all the daily shocks
That fur is heir to, when, of his own free will,
He might his exodus or entrance make
With a mere mitten?

Who would spaniels fear,
Or strays trespassing from a neighbor's yard,
But that the dread of our unheeded cries
And scratches at a barricaded door
No claw can open up, dispels our nerve
And makes us rather bear our humans' faults
Than run away to unguessed miseries?
Thus caution doth make house cats of us all;
And thus the bristling hair of resolution
Is softened up with the pale brush of thought,
And since our choices hinge on weighty things,
We pause upon the threshold of decision.

I can use facial expressions. Wink with left eye for left click, right eye for right click, look up for scroll up, down for down, move cursor by looking at where it needs to be. I sneezed and crashed everything.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I forgot to thank Billie too! Thanks Billie.

It's been a good day so far. I'm being lazy, and I've gotten a lot of it done.

Funny thing. I have Stars and Stripes as my ring tone. You would be surprised how many people look at me and ask, what is that? I laugh and walk away, if they don't know, it's their deficiency.

Here is a little addition to your recipe for the Venison. Marinate the venison in beer for at least 24 hours to 48 hours; preferably a stout or "hoppy" beer that is somewhat sweet. It will take some of the gameness out of the venison. It is a good recipe though.
