Many thanks for stopping by. : )

[Billie]

Now that is an impressive frame! Very nice!

Well, I could just smile coyly and say "thank you", pretending that I designed it......but I 'did' have to take out the picture that was in it originally. :)

[Billie]

You're welcome. :)

They have their moments. KC turned 17 in February...I've had him since he was 5 weeks old. He is getting old and cranky, but is still a sweet kitty. There is also my "middle child". Boo is a 10 year old black cat.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Oh, I don't expect you to reply to my compliments. Yes, I am on yesterday's thread a lot! Sometimes there's no one on today, but plenty of action in the past. lol.

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you, MamaBear for the LulaBelle Graphic. It is soo cute.

You're welcome....of course, it is easy with two sweet subjects. ;-)

CG, my mother had a cat named KC. It was short for "Kitty Cat", I think. LOL.

Your pets are adorable.

[Laura Earl]

That is what this KC stands for too! When I got him, I thought he was a she until we went to the vet. Had already chosen the name KC.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Bob, don't forget the fighting women and their babies, too. Okay now you've gone and made me cry.

They have their moments. KC turned 17 in February...I've had him since he was 5 weeks old. He is getting old and cranky, but is still a sweet kitty.

17 years old? My goodness!

There is also my "middle child". Boo is a 10 year old black cat.

Now this is a coincidence. My mother had a cat named KC and we had a Chihuahua named Boo. I've never known anyone else who named their pet "Boo". LOL.

How is your back?

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

; )

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Hey, Jen, lookie over here!

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Didn't get 18, how about 20?

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Okay, it started here at 14.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

You are the "darned poets", Bob!

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Are you A.C. now too?, C.G., Geezer, die hard, hard core,poet?

[JustAmy]

Isn't Sumac related to Poison Oak?

Yeowww ... that hurts!

[JustAmy]

: )

[Darksheare]

Oddly, I don't react to sumac.
Poison ivy and poison oak I react to.
Sumac, I can play with the inner bark of the stuff without trouble.

Perhaps I've never Kipled
and lack meter, rhythm and rhyme

Perhaps iambic pentameter
would taste best with salt and lime

But when the hours grow stodgy
And time it ossifies

I look for something further
to make the day sublime

At times nothing cuts the ennui
like a mind at conjuration

My verses even annoy me
but they are my abjuration

I leave this here among you
to kill the listless time

And wound the all of eternity
on someone else's dime

My powers of prestidigitation
our now running away
so I close with no hesitation
"So long and have a nice day!"

[MeekOneGOP]

My back is much better, thanks. Sunday a week ago was day 9 and seemed to be the 'turnaround' day. It slowly got better and better after then. I have backed off the dosage of the naproxen to half of what I was taking, but that is mostly due to an ongoing osteo-arthritis thing in my ankle.

Thanks ! :^)

Heading out for the day. Going to a friends and we're gonna hit a Mexican food place later. Yum !
