Otherwise, I watched a BUNCH of WALKER TEXAS RANGER episodes. They are all so mediocre. The villains are always obvious. The villains can shoot worth a darn whereas Walker's aim is always perfect. The plots are very predictable (e.g. Walker's partner was accused of shooting and seriously injuring a six-year old boy during a nighttime shootout with a bad guy. I knew instantly it would be the bad guy's bullet that hit the kid, not Walker's partner. But there was a lot of angst - and much liquor consumed - as he felt bad about the situation and felt sorry for himself.)

Back after a lovely nap and a little bit of Chocolate Cordial Pie.  It's not something you can eat in one sitting, but it's so-o-o-o tasty.

But do you share...no  We could have a Chocolate Cordial Pie eat-it-in-one-sitting contest!

There's "sharesies"....and then there is "chocolate pie".

No sharesies on the chocolate, dude!

I got that one too.  One of my favorite groups.

DR Amy, thank you for sharing the photos of your darling, and oh so white, pets.  I didn't make the blue eye connection.  Sherlock has one blue eye & people are always asking if he is blind in that eye or deaf, which he isn't.

[Cillaliz]

Those are all very good guesses, but none of them are exactly what I was looking for. The cat is white with blue eyes. 85% of all white blue-eyed cats are deaf. Therefore, she can't hear cars coming or coyotes nearby. I've always had indoor/outdoor cats in the past and it's true they don't live as long (mine lived 10 years), but sometimes I think if I could give a cat the choice between living 10 years, getting to run free and chase butterflies, or 20 years cooped up in a boring house, they'd choose the shorter life. My concern with this cat is that because she is deaf, she wouldn't even make it 10 years.

Amy

I understand that sentiment, but my house isn't boring  

[Matt H.]

There was one episode of WALKER that guest starred Linda Purl, Marty Ingles, and Roddy Piper as a wrestler with a serious aneurysm.

[Cillaliz]

No, actually.  I grilled two kabobs -- one pork and one beef, with peppers, onions and mushrooms.

VERY tasty!

Kabobs!  I haven't had those in ages,. Maybe I'll do that tonight

[Matt H.]

William Katt is guest starring in the episode I started before turning everything off. I still have about 30 minutes of it left.

[Matt H.]

I skimmed through As THE WORLD TURNS. No Luke and not on the previews for next week either.

I understand that sentiment, but my house isn't boring  

Whenever I would buy pet food, I'd also buy a few toys....balls...anything that could be batted around, hung from a doorknob, etc.....and I'd secrete them around the condo....near a favorite snoozing spot...or in sight along a path Miss Vickie would take.

I'd hear noises...oh, yes, NOISES....as she discovered these treasures and tested her mettle against them.

Luke is probably in San Francisco for gay pride weekend, the parade and marriage.

[Ron Pulliam]

Well, will we be seeing you next week?

der Brucer

Oh, sure.  I have to work!

At least, I work three days!

But, yes....I'll be here...teasing, taunting, tantalzing...

[Ron Pulliam]

...and there is the matter of the 2nd DD order that should arrive before I take my 5-day weekend!

It was mailed on the 17th or 18th.

And I MUST have it soon.

The one on the top left isn't a best friends rescue. It's a guy carrying his own cats, but it's a good photo nonetheless

Thanks For All The Get-Well Vibes

Whenever I would buy pet food, I'd also buy a few toys....balls...anything that could be batted around, hung from a doorknob, etc.....and I'd secrete them around the condo....near a favorite snoozing spot...or in sight along a path Miss Vickie would take.

I have a kitty gym in my living room, I have something under every window for them to look out of, we have tunnel type things and they are always finding things to play with.  They have so many toys that when people come into my living room they always say it looks like I have a 2 year old.

The best time they had was when the bat got in and before I could get out of bed they had flown through the air (we play with the cat dancer toys every day) swatted the bat and killed the poor thing. I do not like bats, but I don't think they need to die.  

[Amy]

My sister and niece have an indoor/outdoor (mainly outdoor) cat, Casper, who is 14 or 15 years old.  They live in a cul-de-sac and there are other cats in the area with no dogs, so Casper's been living the good life.

Okay, this is really freaky - MY cat's name is Casper too. The breeder I bought her from had a strange habit of giving male names to her female kittens. Casper's littermate was named Daxter, who was also a female. I thought having a female cat named Casper was sort of kitsch, so I kept it. The poodle, on the other hand, was named Tinker Bell by the breeder. There was no way in hell I was keeping that name. Coming up with the dog's name was tricky because I wanted to use another white cartoon character name, but could only come up with "Kimba the white lion." But she's not a lion or even a cat; she's a dog, so I altered the name to Kimber.

By the way, since "Speed Racer" was made into a movie and "Kimba" used to air right after "Speed Racer," on the Saturday morning cartoon line-up, do you think a "Kimba" movie will be made in the near future?

I have some e-mails to answer and then will be heading down to try my best to finish up with WALKER TEXAS RANGER tonight if at all possible. I don't think I can do it, but I should surely be done my tomorrow afternoon and then on to something else (hopefully better).

[Matt H.]

Spoo!

What a coinkydink!

My sister's cat is light-colored, but not really white and he's not a solid color.  He does have stripes of varying shades.  My niece named him...she was very young.

I KNOW!

I have a kitty gym in my living room, I have something under every window for them to look out of, we have tunnel type things and they are always finding things to play with.  They have so many toys that when people come into my living room they always say it looks like I have a 2 year old.

Yes.  Back in 1992, my male cat, Dickens, discovered new talents when a flock of swallows seemingly got sidetracked in their migratory route when I was living in Italy.  They were swooping for days, and Dickens's predator instincts kicked in rather quickly...he'd scrunch down, stay perfectly still and wait and watch -- and then he'd LEAP INTO THE AIR, all his legs outstretched, and then he'd swat one of the birds down.

He brought them all to me, and I put the stunned creatures in a "holding area" until they'd recovered sufficiently to fly off.  Dickens always looked puzzled to me as I did that...I think he wanted me to mash them up and serve them to him in a bowl.  Over a period of several days, he swatted down five or six.  All of them, to my knowledge, recovered.

Dickens, RIP, buddy!

[George]

I looking forward to getting home next week, so that I can watch the dozen or so DVDs that have arrived in my absence.

On the other hand, while away, I finally got to see SPAMALOT on stage (in San Antonio) with Gary Beach, and on Sunday, we're going to see ALTAR BOYZ here in Austin.

I know nothing about that show.  Do any of you?

A national tour is starting next month...so it's not the production that you're seeing, but this specific run is coming to Olympia, where I live!  I usher a lot for shows that come to the Washington Center for the Performing Arts and I've even worked backstage on shows (mostly with wardrobe).  I will definitely either see this show or work backstage...and not actually see the show....but I get paid for that.

[George]

And since we're so close...
