I tell ya, that cat is the biggest camera hog I’v ever seen. I didn’t just take ONE picture, I took 6 or 7, all with a flash, and he just layed there and smiled. The only thing that got him out of there was hearing me jiggle the doorknob. We have our little departure ritual where he flips and rolls on his back on the bar stools by the door trying to entice me to “get his belly” while he pretends to bite me, so he had to come out for that. We have a similar greeting ritual when I come home. He has to stand in the barstools and put his front feet on the my shoulders and head-butt me. He’s a sweetie!

What is with Countrywide? Is that a mortgage company?

Yes, they are a mortgage company. I heard they were headed for bankruptcy. I have my mortgage with them. They are one of the top 5 mortgage companies in the country.

I was searching through some older threads and saw that some long time and well known FR members have been banned. Did ya’ll see this?

[HairOfTheDog]

Yeah - I know. It’s part of why I don’t have a lot of interest in the political side right now.

[tuffydoodle]

I’m stuned, I tell ya. This was months ago and I missed it completely.

I don’t get into the open forum too much, mostly just breastfeeding threads....

“I R IN YER BAG, PRESSIN YER CLOOOTHES”

[HairOfTheDog]

Haven’t seen one of those in awhile :~)

[HairOfTheDog]

Those are so funny :~)

[FrogInABlender]

DANG, that’s a big thread! I ain’t reading through all that, so who got banned and why?

[tuffydoodle]

Peach got banned for badmouthing Reagan and playing up Rudy. I’m not sure why Howlin got banned.

[Duchess47]

Congratulations on the sale of the house :)

I really can't imagine Countrywide going under. I think the media is promoting a needless panic right now. I was informed yesterday by our mailman that the stock market crashed and it would be years before it recovered. He's just as bad with mail delivery as he is with predicting the future.

[FrogInABlender]

Well, badmouthing Regan IS punishable by death you know! ;o)

[Duchess47]

Bummer.

[tuffydoodle]

Doesn’t sound like ya’ll will be losing much sleep over it. ;)

[FrogInABlender]

...I was informed yesterday by our mailman that the stock market crashed and it would be years before it recovered...

LOL!!! If you ever want to get the lowdown on anything going on around the office here, ask the janitor. It may not be right, but it'll sure be interesting.

[FrogInABlender]

Nah, not me. I learned a long time ago what happens when you kick at a sharp stick.

[tuffydoodle]

LOL I must admit I’m curious as to why Howlin got banned.

[FrogInABlender]

Jes be careful, lest you find out first hand! ;o)

[tuffydoodle]

No kidding. I ain’t that curious. So how’s the weather up there?

[ecurbh]

Howlin isn't a Rudy supporter, but she was banned for refusing to kow-tow to the decreed group-think mantra around here that Rudy is Satan incarnate. She is now posting over on WideAwakes.

Those of us that do support Rudy have been declared @$$wipes. That's why I hardly come to FR any more, except for here and the Hobbit Hole.
