Considering that mine has excellent trouble-shooting skillz, that makes sense to me.

Have a great trip! Stay safe!

The Siamese, of course, is the tech guy.... And the black cat is facing the wrong way, totally oblivious. I have lots of callers like that, too.

The black cat is one of those users who, when you’ve taken the trouble to actually come down to their desk, continues their conversation with the person a cubicle over, completely ignoring all that you’re trying to explain to them. And they’ll probably complain about you after you’ve gone.
And the problem was something very simple that could have been fixed over the phone, if you could actually get them to LISTEN.
Not that I’m bitter, mind you...

Oh dear! What a tiny deer!
Hullo everyone... btw... What’s happening in here, other than that Rosie is now apparently doing tech support for cats. :~)
To: RosieCotton; 300winmag
Make that both Rosie and winmag are doing tech support for cats. :~)
Here's some pics of my feral kittens... and fighting over poor Eeyore...
Oh bother....
To: HairOfTheDog
Heh...poor Eeyore! I especially like that last shot.
Do they seem to be getting any tamer, or are they still hiding and hissing (speaking mostly of brother) when you try to touch them?
To: RosieCotton
Maybe only a little tamer. Lots better when they're in the cage, but I can't handle them outside the cage. ANY stress at all and they 'go native' in a snap. But I will say that even if I can't handle them, they're the most well trained cats I've ever had. I let them out of the cage a couple to a few times a day to run around and get some exercise, and they'll run around and play chase games with Wicket and burn off energy and that's all good, while I clean the cage. I can't approach them in that time, or they'll run and hide, but if I say "OK - back inside", they've learned pretty well to go jump in the cage. They know when I start herding them around, they only safe place in the house is in the cage. Then they go to sleep. :~)
To: HairOfTheDog
They’re really cute...from 3,000 miles away...

Evening Corin - great picture/caption. That is one little deer.
To: HairOfTheDog
That last one of the kitties and eyore is wonderful. They look like they are having fun, wonder how long it will take till they settle down.
To: Overtaxed
Well, that was a nice thunderstorm. Did you make it home before it started up on your side of town? Traffic on this side was slow. Looks like gas is headed back up for a bit. Up ten cents since yesterday.
LSA did some series thinning in the lilac bed on the side of the house. Tomatoes are still coming on. Still hoping for the volunteer pepper plant to show what kind of peppers we may/may not get.
To: osagebowman
Yep. I was in before the storm. We need more rain, though.

I just finished watching The One give his historic speech. I had to stop myself before I finished the entire bottle of wine.
We. Are. So. Screwed.
To: osagebowman
I spent the late afternoon pulling weeds from the bed by the front door, and the one by the mailbox. It had been too dang hot to do it the last couple of weeks, but it was nice this afternoon, especially since the sun was behind the big tree in our yard. I was still sweating, though. SirKit mowed while I did that, and now the front yard looks pretty good. I still have to do the weeds in the bed by the stone wall next to the garage, but I'll do that manana. ;o)

I give you props for having the strength to even watch it. I wasn't going to bother, but I figured I'd read about it on FR.
I don't think we're screwed, because I just don't think Obama's gonna win. McCain's not the best, but he's a dang sight better than Obama.

I couldn't have done it. But if I'm ever going to make this writing thing a career, I'm going to have to do a lot of things I don't like.
He may not win, but d@mn, it was an impressive site.
To: Corin Stormhands
He may not win, but d@mn, it was an impressive site.I haven't seen it, but I suspect it exceeded the Wellstone Memorial, and approaches the Grandeur of "Triumph of the Will"?
