I just re-joined FR and I would like to post to my local NC state board but I am not able to. How do I get the ability to do that?

I don’t think I’ve seen a Birman, either. Only in pictures.

If anyone at church knows of a way to help those people hit by yesterday’s earthquake let me know.

I donated to the Red Cross for the Haitian earthquake but I heard they aren’t so good

I just want to do something. Those poor people,

The Salvation Army is usually a good choice, but I don’t see anything at their site about this disaster, yet. For disasters in the US and nearby, such as Haiti, I contribute to Baptist Men’s Relief; they’re a very efficient organization.

Samaritan’s Purse, the organization that runs “Operation Christmas Child,” is doing relief in Nepal. I see that Oxfam, the English charity, is also there.

Also Catholic Relief Services.

Which of these would be most efficient, I don’t know. You could try “Charity Navigator” to see how they rate.

I like Oxfam. They score very high on the Charity Navigator.

Thank you so very very much.

I’m sorry I missed the history convo last night, but this is really important.

I had a Birman. They look like bluepoint Siamese, but have white feet. The mom cat in the pic is not a Birman, I think. Maybe part Birman, with the long hair, but the white feet are missing. Unless they’ve changed the criteria for the markings.

We had a drenching yesterday evening, so the new truck got “washed” for the second time in a few hours. When it warms up a little outside, we will wash my truck. It’s about time...

Unfortunately, the Red Cross can’t go into Muslim countries to help. They can make a donation to the Red Crescent, but the cross, of course, is a symbol of Christianity, so the organization isn’t welcome.

Charity Navigator has a discussion about planning disaster-relief giving, here.

You’re right, that kitty doesn’t look much like a Birman. The owner must have that breed confused with another, similar one.

You ladies rock!

I just made a pot of coffee. My first cup of the day. I raise it and salute you both, and your kitties.

[Tax-chick]

Here's a better view of the kitten's mom. Very Siamese-looking, except for the longer fur.

Nepal is Hindu. There is a separate Nepal Red Cross.

[Tax-chick]

One of those dogs is not like the others.

"Nepal is Hindu. There is a separate Nepal Red Cross."

Facts? You wish to color our perceptions with facts?

Thank you. And welcome aboard.

They all look like retrievers to me.

Chow line, with no Chows!

They all look hungry to me. :)

But there ARE a lot of Muslims in that area...they are taking over the world, remember?
