I am an internet java script sent to infiltrate your site and transform you from political neanderthals into a modern 21st Century progressive mode.

This is your first warning.

Do not try and resist.

It is useless.

Accept your fate.

You will be assimilated.

Advent doesn't start until Sunday.

I didn't know what day for certain - I just remembered it was four weeks before Christmas - thanks!

[EsmeraldaA]

LOL! Yep.
Now we go back to everybody's 'very deep and serious' religious talk.....

Cherokee, Navaho, Inuit,


But how am I to tell which is which.

In much the same way I don't want to accuse you of having a Haggis Festival, I would hate to call a Cree a Sioux, and offend without meaning too.

Heck, if I want to offend someone, I want to do it on purpose!

MF, Which is your heritage?

My sister and her family observe the Eastern Orthodox "Christmas season," which ends (I think) on Jan 6th.

That's not Eastern Orthodox, that's traditional Western custom. Christmas begins, not ends with Christmas Day; it ends January 5th, the evening of which is called Twelfthnight. January 6th is Epiphany, commemorating the arrival of the Magi (and more).

Eastern Orthodox Christmas is January 7th, I believe.

Is there a Thai word to describe her color and that is not too hard to pronounce?

[Monkey Face]

"...I'm not so sure I'm satisfied with that though."

She'll tell you what her name is. Give her time.

Also Islamic Guilt... America is guilty, Zionists are guilty, Infidels are guilty, women are guilty......

Replace 'infidels' with 'Republicans' and 'women' with 'men' and you've got liberal guilt, my friend!

[Tax-chick]

Thought she was a Russian Blue.

Thai is a heckuva language. What about something simple, like "Mai"?

[EsmeraldaA]

My guilt, your guilt, their guilt............we are going to get depressed here!

[Tax-chick]

In the current calendar, Advent starts 4 Sundays before Christmas. That gives us a long Advent this year, when Christmas is on a Sunday, and a short one next year, with Christmas on a Monday.

In the old calendar, Advent was 40 days, like Lent.

But how am I to tell which is which.

It's all a bit of a mess.

[fanfan]

I just thought you'd enjoy the hot water...after not having it for a day...:o]

After not having it for 3 days.

On Tuesday morning we heated water over the wood stove just so I could wash my hair in the kitchen sink before work.

My shower this morning was glorious! ;-)

Comanche, Sioux, Irish, Scot, English, French, German, Russian, Dutch, Italian, Mediterranian, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Egyptian...uh...I'm an American. :o]

Advent was 40 days, like Lent.

Really? When did it change?

[sionnsar]

I say Roan (short for blue roan, which is what the kitten would be called if it were a horse). The mom says just "blue".

LOL. "Roan" is sometimes the English transcription of the Gaelic "ròn" (seal) as in "Roan Inish", "Island of the Seals."

A cat named "Seal." Does he like water? (A friend once had a cat that loved water.)

[Monkey Face]

Ah...OK...she's only mentioned it once, and that was before her husband died, so I'm thankful for the correction.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Replace 'infidels' with 'Republicans' and 'women' with 'men' and you've got liberal guilt, my friend!

LOL!!

[thoughtomator]

Given that this breed of cat is reputed to be very vocal, she may do just that. Thanks for the tip.

[fanfan]

You are not a turkey.

Yes I am, sometimes.

;-P

Says you, Running Horse McCullough van Schweitzerinsky. I'm onto you. ;)
