WOWZERONI-RINI!
Thank you so much for this treasure, Normie!
I'm sorry it took me
so long to post it. You made it super easy for me, but my brain has
seriously been lost in space for a couple of weeks now. Maybe this bitterly
cold weather has frozen it, I dunno. Whatever it is, I'm still not thinking
clearly.
This still isn't posted elsewhere on the site, but any day now I'll be able to figure out where and how I want to do that.
From Jo Ann Stewart ('64) of Northern VA -
02/08/10 - "Virtual Viet Nam Wall":
Virtual wall of all those lost during the Viet Nam war with the names, bio's
and other information on our lost comrades. It is a very interesting link, and
those who served in that timeframe and lost friends or family can look them up
on this site. Pass it on to other veterans who you think would like this.
First click on a state......then when it opens .........a name........then it
should show you a picture of the person or at least his bio and medals......

Thank you so much, Jo Ann!
I had seen and used this site
extensively seven years or so ago, but they took it down and redesigned it, and
I had not relocated it since that time.

It took me a couple

Hello Carol, Mon. Feb. 8, 2010
Attached is something you may consider using.

The Adoption Process
Yesterday (Sunday) two spinster-type ladies from a Pasadena cat shelter
arrived at our Loma Linda residence. They were bringing a cat carrier with
something black and white inside.
Grandpa was in Fullerton for the weekend, so everything herein is compiled
from excited phone calls from granddaughter Sara. I have tried to tone down
the news a bit.
The two residence cats had been locked away. Once inside the house, New Cat
was let out. At first he seemed confused and nervous. But in less than 5
minutes he was purring and affectionate. It was soon obvious that he stands
up on his hind legs to indicate his desire to be petted. A family friend had
assured us that black and white cats are both intelligent and affectionate.
She was right about this one.
The two ladies made an inspection tour of the whole house for feline
suitability. They quickly announced that they liked what they saw (I'm happy
I wasn't there).
My room had been prepared for New Cat to stay in until he is acclimated
enough to be exposed to the regulars (I have been assured that the room will
be returned to me by my next visit).
Once New Cat was settled in the bedroom, the two resident cats, Buster and
Jenny were released from solitary. They immediately began sniffing around.
Jenny seemed only curious, but macho-male Buster hissed at the empty cat
carrier. Later he parked himself outside New Cat's room and made sounds of
annoyance.
There will probably be at least several more days of isolation before live
exposure is attempted. I have suggested that a fresh newspaper be rolled up
and kept ready. One of these has been very handy for showing displeasure to
cats. In use it doesn't harm them, but for some strange reason it terrifies
them.
The shelter ladies brought some toys that New Cat was used to. He was
playing with them last night in his (my) room.
New Cat's shelter name was "Ray." We don't want to keep it, but will use
some time to see what is appropriate. We have a big list and will probably
do some response testing.
Sara is very pleased with New Cat's markings. But then she thinks all cats
are beautiful.

Definition - Difference between a spinster lady and a bachelor lady: A
bachelor lady has never been married. A spinster lady has never been married
or anything.
Thanks,
Fred!

FINALLY:
From ArcaMax Jokes - 02/08/10:
Bird Calls
One evening an avid bird watcher stood in his
backyard and heard an owl hoot. So he thought he'd give a hoot back.
To his surprise and delight the bird hooted again. The next night
the same scenario occurred.
All Summer, the man and his feathered friend hooted back and forth.
He even kept a log of the "conversations."
Just as he thought he was on the verge of a breakthrough in inter
species communication, his wife, had a chat with her next door
neighbor.
"My husband spends his nights calling to owls," the wife commented.
"That's odd," the neighbor replied. "So does my husband."
Then it dawned on them...
