No one I know knows these rules either.... And seein' as how we are having the wedding barefoot on the beach... Seems impossible to have enough proper included.... just a small affair with a potluck. I am too old for the silliness I just witnessed at the other wedding!

The one on the left is a Himalayan cross, yes. Big fat furry kitty. She has short fur, but it's super plush. Of course, that means she sheds like crazy.

All three of my cats are seal points...though only Tam is actually Siamese. Someday I'd like to get a blue...and one of the newer types, I think. I've heard so many definitions of the divisions that I no longer know what to think! I always thought Tam would fit in the "Classic" variety, but then I met some that were much more wedge faced than he is. So I don't know..."Traditional"?

Really? - Because of holiday?

Yep. I suppose I could always try to book an oversold flight and volunteer to fly later for a couple hundred bucks!

Heh...my Dad got married in a two dollar suit he got at a Salvation Army store...my Mom in a white dress that Grandma altered to make kinda wedding-ish. The reception was in front of my Mom's parents' garage.

Not a really fancy wedding by any account. ;-) She had two younger sisters who had just had HUGE fancy weddings, and she didn't want the fuss. I think her parents didn't mind much...

Incidentally, both of the other sisters later divorced and remarried. So much for the big fancy weddings.

Wow, Shelley just gets up periodically and turns around 2-3 times, then lies back down.

She doesn't get to sleep in the bed as a general rule (stays in her crate) because she and the cats have running gun battles all night long. But when we were staying at our parents' over Christmas, she got to sleep on the foot of the bed. I guess she behaved because she was so overjoyed to get the privilege. She didn't snore or fart (I think it's the all natural health-dog-food, it's supposed to reduce output. It's certainly good for her coat. She does get gas if she eats too much people food, especially carbs like the crusts off bread . . . )

Heh, kinda makes her a convenient scapegoat, though! "Honest honey, it wasn't me, it was the dog!"

OMG! That is one of our oldest family jokes. If somebody committed a social indiscretion, my father would look at their Siamese and say in a shocked tone, "Nifi! How COULD you?" The cat would get all confused and guilty looking "What did I do?" and everybody would laugh. Poor kitty! We do that to our cats now, they react in a similar fashion.

ksen, didn't you say you also had a PS2 to bring?

Bottom line - tell me what to bring.

Yes, I'm bringing our PS2 as well as our DVD player so we should have an extra dvd to hook up since I think the house already has one.

Bring your dessert thingy, yourself, and Jr. That should do it.

So I was right not to worry about packing clothes?

I want Jimmy Buffett, and umbrella drinks, and be barefoot on the beach. I want people sittin' round on the beach havin' a beer and maybe drag out the badminton net.

I have both extended versions but my FoTR has a slight scratch on the second disc. I'll bring some of our other movies like The Patriot and Nausicaa (an anime movie).

He blames her when she isn't even in the room. So I don't believe him ever!
