Thanks. Glad you liked the Profile. Did you notice the links to the MWS video embedded in the image?

I like your cat on the screen door graphic. Reminds me of an old Garfield cartoon where G is just relaxing in the sun, hanging on the screen door thinking "I'm in heaven. I'm in heaven. I'm in..." At which poin Jon SLAMS the screen door all the way open and shouts "Garfield! Dinner!" Final frame is G all munched up, still clinging to the screen "...pain. Excruciating pain."

I did not dare stop to watch the video, HKMkkkk..
Mama_Bear might notice I am not doing my 'homework,"
and render Not-So-Phine Demerits..:))

(i hate it when I have to stand in the corner!)

I'm going to try to sit at the computer tomorrow. :) I'm going back and forth now trying to make dinner and Freep.:)

Have a great time with the kids! :)

[JustAmy]

Thanks .... hope to see you tomorrow.

[Darksheare]

Thanks.
Not really an artist, just a graphite pencil scribbler in my spare time..
*chuckle*

[LadyX]

"just a graphite pencil scribbler in my spare time.."

Ah, but a good scribbler..:))

By the way, I found this on the Finest floor -
yours, Darks, learning your colors?

[Darksheare]

Pens wouldn't write.
;-)

[JustAmy]

I'm baaack. :)

Miss me?

[Darksheare]

"Miss me?"

*Falls sobbing on floor as Amy's feet*

YES!

;-)

(It was kinda quiet, what with me sitting quietly in the corner relaxing peacefully..)

[JustAmy]

LOL

Well .... let me see if we can get a party started.

[Darksheare]

*chuckle*

Hmm.. yes.
We do need to get some activity going on here.
It was quiet.. and spooky.. all by myself in the corner of the thread..


;-)

[Darksheare]

Tune sounds familiar.
But I cannot place where I might have heard it before.

The Ad-Dressing Of Cats

You've read of several kinds of Cat,
And my opinion now is that
You should need no interpreter
To understand their character.
You now have learned enough to see
That Cats are much like you and me
And other people whom we find
Possessed of various types of mind.

For some are same and some are mad
And some are good and some are bad
And some are better, some are worse--
But all may be described in verse.
You've seen them both at work and games,
And learnt about their proper names,
Their habits and their habitat:
But
How would you ad-dress a Cat?

So first, your memory I'll jog,
And say: A CAT IS NOT A DOG.

And you might now and then supply
Some caviare, or Strassburg Pie,
Some potted grouse, or salmon paste--
He's sure to have his personal taste.
(I know a Cat, who makes a habit
Of eating nothing else but rabbit,
And when he's finished, licks his paws
So's not to waste the onion sauce.)
A Cat's entitled to expect
These evidences of respect.
And so in time you reach your aim,
And finally call him by his NAME.

So this is this, and that is that:
And there's how you AD-DRESS A CAT.

~Thomas Stearns Eliot

[JustAmy]

That was Alley Cat but I didn't intend to play that one. Do you recognize the next one?

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL! That's cute, thanks.

[Darksheare]

LOL, wasn't part of that one used in a Tom and Jerry cartoon with Tom playing the piano?

It also sounds familiar.
*gaah*
I should have paid more attention to what was in the collection...
