All of my siamese were more interested in a warm lap.

Well, my wife and I had 8 siamese cats during our 51 years of marriage. Apart from the first, all others have been pairs and now we are left with one. Obviously our last, given our age.

As you will understand, our concern is that the last one could outlive us - not likely, but you never know.

Anyway, they are delightful creatures and very, very loving.

They sure are, I have taken in older rescues many times since my early 20s. Ive had a few really challenging ones. They all calm within a year or two. My current one is about 15, asthma, deaf, high blood pressure and thyroid disease, maintained with a lot of medication. Because of her deafness she really shrieks at night, which, is awesome :)

For music fans, I heard that U2’s first few albums have been remastered without the guitars on them. It certainly takes the Edge off them.

A friend is in a band called 999Mb. They haven’t had a gig yet.


I guess they just missed the count or was that the beat??? ;)

my favourite description of golf has to be robin Williams. Look it up on YouTube, for warning there's some really colourful language, but its funny as heck.

Hello all, just finished binge watching “Succession “….. or as I like to say the 21st Century version of “Father Knows Best”. It’s not a series where you like a character….more often than not it‘s finding a character you hate less than the others.
Well written, with episode 9 being one of the best written and acted episodes I’ve seen in any series. If you haven’t seen it there will be no spoilers here…..very much worth watching.

The mac-forums forums seem to be quite slow today, but maybe everybody's Apple's product and software problems have finally all been resolved and everyone can take a break.

Now where are the joke posts that often get posted on Sundays...??? Randy, or are you there???

June is a busy month for many and then it’s outside time for us above the equator. Waited for this nice weather for what seemed an eternity and it’s a short season!

I got earbuds electric toothbrushes and a mouse. I had to cut it off there.

I recently got an lg 43” ips monitor I was glad to see the sale wasn’t lower than what I paid before.

You know you're not going to like that beast of an LG. Send it my way. I will make sure it has a good home. :)
