Oh, I'm doing okay. My brother Scott emailed Mom's lawyer this morning and cc'd me, managed to tick me off but good. Persia is fine :) She's curled up on a chair behind me. [18:15] Jeez, siblings can be such a pain in the butt. Aww, please give her a scritch from Aunty Flippy. :-) Well he seems to think he has something to do with settling mom's estate. BRB - A load of washing has just finished and I'm off to hang it outside on the line. can't live with 'em, can't blow them up brb.. He said to the lawyer he'd be here to close out her bank accounts. Uh, no, you won't. You're not the "executor" [18:16] Oh I wish I could hang clothes outside... I love the scent but it's been pouring down rain so that's not a good idea [18:17] * JillM giving scritches to Persia Scratch, if I could blow him up and get away with it I surely would. The lawyer said he'd call him and tell him there's no need for him to come here, there's nothing for him to do. [18:18] I'm meeting with a tax advisor next week. After that I'll distribute the money. [18:21] So... what's going on there? [18:24] [INFO] Preference “collapseMsgs” is “on”. [18:25] Hello? [18:28] juggling six things at once ;) [18:29] * JillM grins juggling cats? just finished patching WoW gonna go visit my mom in hospital, they admitted her at 3am after 12 hours in ER pulled 900 mL fluid from one lung, she says she feels a lot better after that [18:30] Oh ouch. I hope she'll be okay she's been "recovering" from pneumonia and heart attack, but kept putting off chest xray What time is it where you are? so they made her take one this time and saw the fluid buildup i'm PDT [18:31] so 6:30 pm Pacific Daylight time? yep or UTC-8 ;) Well I certainly hope your mom is going to be okay. sounds promising, they're holding her to see what caused it [18:32] got her in isolation in case it's a recurrence of tuberculosis she had when I was conceived, almost 50 years ago I'm nearly that old myself ;) [18:34] Again, I hope she'll be okay. Purrs and all that for her recovery. coming up on my semicentennial in a year and a half :D thanks [18:36] I'm afraid I don't know everyone's cats... how many do you have? I should know this, I've been hanging around rpca long enough [18:37] When Dan was in earlier he told me Ranger is back... but I mistook Ranger for Harri the gal who travelled with him in his truck I have a hard time keeping up [18:38] Persia (mine) won't let me have other cats... she hates other cats [18:39] my furkid: http://www.sewingwitch.com/harley/ my "previous" furkid: http://www.sewingwitch.com/nimbus/ when i moved to my own house, my sister insisted on keeping her ;) but i'm still 'the treats guy' Awwww, how sweet! [18:40] she sees me come over and nags me until i go get her some treats Perfectly stripe right down the middle of her face! yesterday was harley's 5th birthday What a sweetheart :) [18:41] about the same time i named her, i learned that kevin smith (director) had just named his new daugher Harley Quinn Smith same inspiration, the joker's sidekick heheh [18:42] that, and her purr sounds like a Harley Davidson * JillM laughs she's about a month old, wanders into the bathroom rumbling up a storm and as I thought "you sound like a Harley", the lightbulb clicked on Persia PURRRS her nickname is rumble-bug [18:43] lol, good one Nimbus would come cuddle when I NEEDED to get up for work, so she became Snooze Button [18:44] Ah, funny! When I had to get up for work Persia would tap me on the nose at 6AM Tap tap, you have to get up so feed me Unfortunately she still does that I sleep on my side, and if my shoulder is exposed because it's warm, harley will sit behind me and place a single claw on my shoulder in a touchy spot [18:45] I get bitten (gently) on the shoulder or my arm so i pull the blanket up and suffer the heat [18:46] if she's really insistent, she licks my forehead Oh, you are like me... cant stand the heat? I have to have a fan running on me all the time. I'm at "that age" heheh actually i bounce between too hot and too cold, and i can never get the thermostat just so [18:47] skinny and no padding, so really susceptible to the drafts [18:48] I am skinny but I welcome drafts cold air, yes! Persia cuddles up to me and she's like a hot blanket I love her but damn, she's hot! [18:49] yep, harley is like a lap furnace, gets to be a contest who decides to remove her from lap first, her or me [18:50] Uh oh, I hear more thunder rolling in. Going to have to shut the systems down.

I couldn't stay up late last night. Bad thunderstorms so I shut everything off. not here - just overcast & rainy Poor Persia was hiding :( awwwwwwwwwwww [06:05] She's in a patch of sunshine behind me now, though :) Weeb's Preshus Persia don't like boomy things? Nawwww, she's askeered of noisy weather :( No sunshine here - clouds Weebs is napping [06:06] back porch, occasionally watching a bird at the feeder Next month starts hurricane season. What fun! or a skwerl Persia is doing the same (sans porch) makes you want to move back to Memphis? What, trade hurricanes for tornados? lol [06:07] they're about the same - one has a lot more wet with it, though Hurricanes are at least semi-predictable [06:08] I've been through some tornados, they just "happen" Yeah - lived in OK until I was 5 remember the middle-of-the night runs to the neighborhood storm shelter [06:09] Just found my favorite font color No fun... at least with hurricanes you can watch them track the storms. I'm not saying they're any less damaging, just not so unexpected. [06:10] -->| dan (~chatzilla@its-corp-10-0178.iowatelecom.com) has joined #rec.pets.cats.anecdotes I always found it amusing they show the movie 'The Wizard of Oz' right about when tornados start to happen. Ironic. Hi Dan! Good morning! [06:11] Back in Memphis I also had to have earthquake insurance (a rider) on my rental insurance. [06:12] I'll be going there next month to exit the apartment. Down here it's flood insurance. LOL It's always something. What's up, dan? [06:14] Not much. Just starting another thrilling day at the office. heheh [06:15] Yeah, I got a great start to my day yesterday. [06:16] My middle brother is starting up his crap again about Mom's estate. I'd like to see HIM deal with all this stuff. I sold her car, he wanted me to practically give it away. Told me to sell it for $9000. Uh, what? I got $12,000 for it. [06:17] Now he's bitching because since he got the furniture and other stuff he wanted (delivered to him) I shouldn't be spending any money out of the bank account. [06:18] Arrrgh. He's the only one with a job, with money, I'm not blowing money on stupid stuff. I don't know what his problem is. [06:19] sorry, just had to rant for a moment. I'm over it now :) [06:20] Persia's talking to me :) [06:21] She says the sun went away :( Is she say "Good Morning" to her Sweet Weebs? Morning Dan! [06:22] I'm trying to do my Accounting Homework She hopes Weebs is having fun watching the squirrels So much fun I'm hearing snoring :) * JillM laughs [06:23] I can sympathize, Jill. Loss of family members can bring out the worst in some people. No - wait, that's Ernie My living room is fairly bereft of furniture but loaded with cat toys :) 'morning, MMJ. How are you today? Still waking up, Dan It apparently brings out the worst in the ones who have money and want to control everything, Dan. Likewise. I think I need another gallon or so of caffeine. [06:24] Jill, I'm sorry your brothers are such poor excuses for carbon life forms I think he's pissed off because he's not the executor I'm executor for Mom - that's cuz I'm the closest one to her Bro in NM and Sis in FL [06:25] Me 30=/- miles away He sent a long email to the lawyer with a cc: to me saying "She's still paying bills out of Mom's account!" Send him the bills and let him pay them ;) [06:26] I have an appointment next week with a tax advisor... he's the one who raised the issue of "gift taxes" and yes, it turns out we will have to pay taxes well, duh MMJ, when he found out Mom was leaving me the house he tried to bribe me who was it that said there's not in life but death & taxes? [06:27] he said he'd pay my rent back in TN for a year if I'd agree to sell the house and give him a third of the proceeds did you laugh? tell him you were born at night, but it wasn't LAST NIGHT? Actually, it's only on money earned (interest income and dividends) since the day after her death. Not a lot of money, but damn [06:28] He just pisses me off. Of all the thieves in this country, the Gov't has the stickiest fingers [06:29] No, I think my brother has the stickiest fingers. Maybe he should be a politician [06:31] Who can sell a house except at a loss in this market? Persia's upset because the sun is now hiding behind a cloud -->| victor (467411d7@widget.mibbit.com) has joined #rec.pets.cats.anecdotes and it's a big cloud... looks like more rain coming this way today [06:32] hello hi Victor! haven't done irc in at least a decade.. lol well, welcome back :) I think I started chatting on irc in... hmmmm, 1995? It's been a while [06:33] I used to be on irc all the time in the early 90's in 93/94 even had my army of bots to take care of "my" channel... lol [06:34] I chat on irc in a channel on a regular basis, about food and cooking How are your kitties? [06:35] they're good... right now they're locked in the studio, we're having carpet removed and bamboo flooring installed oooh! I like bamboo flooring! [06:36] Basho is doing really well with his sub-q therapy he doesn't like it, but takes it like a little champ he's my good, sweet boy That's good to know :) Morning Victor!!! howdy... :) [06:37] Persia wouldn't let me bring another cat into this house, nope, not even her boyfriend Weebles Ivy (RB 2002) had to have sub-q the last 8 months of her life she did good on it, but the last crash she had, we couldn't put her through it any more I feel so bad when my neighbors cats come up to the window, Persia hisses and puffs up :( [06:38] Persia can puff up more than she already is:D * JillM laughing [06:39] she's rolled over on her back at the moment, with her front paws tucked in and crossed awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww it's the "praying mantis" pose Exactly! [06:40] |<-- Bobble has left irc.penguinpowered.ca (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) She has such fun chattering at the lizards here, too. They show up on the screen doors |<-- victor has left irc.penguinpowered.ca (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) Uh oh [06:41] are people having problems? or are we boring them? I think there may be problems But I never actually chatted with Bobble... I had to shut down last night due to the storms. [06:42] DazedMonkey might be ScratchMonkey but I'm not sure That's what I thought, but who are master_this and vexrog? [06:43] I don't know who master_this is, nor mib which I think is a web default login let alone someone who didn't type in a user name and is signed in as mib_th690j? vexorg is the guy who helped me set up this channel Ah yeah, default I see said the blind man to the deaf man? * JillM laughs [06:44] Just finished Persia is getting old :( accounting homework must save master_this is vexorg's wife. then email to Prof Oh? I didn't know he had a wife. Yeah, me mentioned her yesterday. [06:45] must have been when I shut down because of the storms. Our part of Iowa is under red-flag alert for fire danger. I'm used to that in CA but not in IA. [06:46] Persia is sleeping a lot more lately (more than usual) and she's grey but she's getting white around her chin and paws :( That's no fun, Dan! Save it and email it, MMJ! [06:47] Oh, I forgot to mention on the NG - got another call about Tabitha last night. A cat looking like her has been spotted hanging around a local nursing home. Any idea if it's really her? [06:48] I can only imagine how frustrating that must be. Don't know. Keeping fingers crossed. We ended up with 3 nurses crawling around th parking lot with us calling for her :) [06:49] Okay, I can picture that :) Heeeere kittty kittty kittty kittty! I've got 11 purring and 1 drooling for Tabitha! Make that 10 purring, 1 snoring and 1 drooling I can never tell if it's Ping or Ernie snoring [06:50] I wish I could help you search for Tabitha I need to get a new tag for Persia's collar [06:51] I can't remember where I ordered it for her, it's engraved with her name and "microchipped" and my phone number [06:52] but it's my old phone number -->| SmokieDarling (627f9062@widget.mibbit.com) has joined #rec.pets.cats.anecdotes Hi smokie's mom :) Ola, how ya doing? [06:53] I did remember to update the info with the microchip company That's good. but her collar tag is out of date in terms of where she lives [06:54] Is there a PetSmart around? They have that machine that engraves new tags Heck, I could get one engraved and sent or somehting, if you'd like The nearest PetSmart is 50 miles away [06:55] homework saved, but it's not due until tomorrow, 12 midnight I will review before emailing to prof Oh that's a very sweet offer, thanks! Consider it, because I would. It isn't all that expensive. [06:56] Have you found a vet for Persia where you are now? I think there may even be one at Wal-Mart yes, there's a vet in Port Royal I had her records faxed there I've been getting her r/x food from there [06:57] But it's a small one-woman vet practice Those are the best vets imo, obviously I hadn't thought of Wal*Mart! [06:58] I just saw the engraver on Saturday, when we went shopping. That's what made me remember. Definitely. If we ever have to leave Newton I'm really going to miss Dr. Wolfe. My regular vet moved (without telling anyone). I'm afraid of taking my cats to the new one, but they have to be seen. [06:59] I had that happen. The vet who first saw Persia left the practice (it was a multiple practice) and suddenly she was seen by someone else. He was good, though. He spotted the tumor causing her crystalline oxolate formations in her bladder. [07:00] My poor Smokie, she makes herself hoarse when she is rides to the vet. She hates strangers, it took years before she relaxed with Krista (sort of). He called in a surgeon. But that was back in Memphis. Here, I dunno :( All of mine "seranade" me en route to the vet I hope that this new one is as good as yours. Aren't we pathetic over our 'babies'? [07:01] Smokie yowls like she is in heat, and then can't 'speak' for days afterward. Tennessee need to go, has an appt tomorrow Oh honey, Persia cries her fool head off when she's in the carrier. "This can't be good" nothing serious, just his yearly Still, doesn't it worry you, taking them in, are you afraid of what *might* be found? You should have heard her on the drive from TN to SC... yikes [07:02] Even the tiniest sounding meow-er can yeowl-er when in a carrier and in my tiny car???? She was actually pretty good, until we thought we'd lost her. Jill, I can't imagine Smokie in longer than a 15 minute ride. LOL She managed to sqeeeeeze behind a nightstand. We were convinced she'd gotten out of the room. Oh, thanks [07:03] When we took the kitties to be boarded at the vet back in Feb everyone yowled except Harri. She swore like a sailor the whole ride. I was trying to remember a loss of Persia Tennessee is 15, gettuibg cataracts, and we've seen him limping The hotel staff was going crazy, we were going crazy... anyone seen a cat? I think Harri and Smokie would get along then I bet the staff went nuts Tennessee? 15? Already? They were quizzing them, have you seen a cat? hope the limp is nothing [07:04] I thought about having him x-rayd to find out WHY he's limping, but that would mean having him knocked out All the time she was pulling a Bast**d cat trick and other guests going, cat? what cat? and since he's 15, we don't want to risk that knocked out isn't good. I can make mine lie still during the exray, not sure if the new vet will allow me to do that though. Persia - the modern day cheshire cat [07:05] Was Persia grinnin' I want to know Tennessee won't lie still - he loves exploring at the vet I wish all your cats well for their vet visits. hates the ride to & from, but loves it when there Mine hate it until we are home. She was scared... and she hid under the bed after she got here for two weeks fortunately, I don't take all 7 at once. I bet Persia was scared. It's about time to have her innoculations, and I don't know how that's going to go. I would have been falling apart. [07:06] Out side "kids" are climbing the screen for breakfast. BRB awwww :) [07:09] there's thunder... looks like we're in for another storm I'm going to shut down again and hug my cat :) Be safe. except she'll run and hide under the bed [07:10] Take care, and thanks for chatting! * JillM waving |<-- JillM has left irc.penguinpowered.ca () [07:12] -->| Nan (cc7488c3@widget.mibbit.com) has joined #rec.pets.cats.anecdotes [07:13] |<-- Nan has left irc.penguinpowered.ca (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) [07:15] I'm off, too, as I have "chores" to do, and 11 cat and one dog to hug :) [07:16] Take care everyone, might be back later! |<-- MMJeep has left irc.penguinpowered.ca (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) [07:21] Wow, I run off for a few minutes, and everyone leaves. Something I said? :) I know the feeling. [07:22] Jeepers must just be us, I guess Yep. I'll be in and out all morning - at work. Well, I'm here. for the time being. [07:23] The "outies" are scarfing at the moment. Good for them. Mine always polish off the food, but I don't get to see them. Got to rig a webcam out there... [07:24] Most of the ferals will allow me to pet them now, but they are skittish around the husband. I've got to get some piccies of them. They are all so beautiful. [07:25] I think all of the local moochers are local family cats. Too well-fed and well-groomed to be feral. I believe that some (Smiley, Gabbie, the Bengal) belong to people. [07:26] Then there are the ones that were born here, because I can't catch the mom (Cleopatra). She's too smart for the traps. Little Foot, Mere-mere, BushBaby... ...and yes, I do name the ferals and strays [07:29] Can't blame you. I name all the cats that come by regularly too. It's much easier than calling them all beautiful and hansome (which I used to do). [07:31] Yep. Less confusing for other people, too :) [07:32] Oh, my neighbors have determined that I'm nuts. They know if one of their cats has been away, to come and ask me if I've seen them. Reunited more than one kitty and their human that way. It makes me sad, because I wont' see them, but I'm happy because they are back home. I don't really know many neighbors. The lady next door knows we're cat-crazy, but I seldom speak to other neighbors. [07:33] Does feel good to reunite missing kitties with their homes, doesn't it? It's a very small town here. Yes, it does feel good. Specially the scaredy babies. I love to see them when their humans show up. You can see them brighten right up. [07:34] Can you tell that I don't speak to alot of people, very often? I talk alot! [07:35] I talk a fair bit online, but really dislike actual talking. Hate talking on the phone especially. [07:36] -->| Lesley (c2b06929@widget.mibbit.com) has joined #rec.pets.cats.anecdotes Hi everyone-just popping in to see who is in here [07:37] Oh, the phone and I do not get along! Hi Lesley! How are you today? My busted shoulder is well and truly busted- time for a massage I think [07:38] Ow! I didn't realize that you had trouble with a shoulder. I only occasionally check rpca anymore. Dan, I have spent years talking to my furkids. It's nice to know there are real "people" out there [07:39] Had it for years, massage works wonders but I sneezed last night in an awkward position so it got pulled Ewww, that sounds like it hurt. I used to be very good at massage. Before the RA got so bad. Ouch! That doesn't sound pleasant. I sneeze and throw out my neck [07:40] It's worse because using a keyboard aggravates it like mad ....and I'm a typist :-( [07:42] Yeah, that wouldn't be too much fun. Can't even think what would help it, as far as ergonomic keyboards or something. I'm a load of help, aren't I?

I just got cut off. But I'm back now [07:46] Oh, I see what you mean. I haven't noticed it myself though. I only have trouble with the laptop keyboards, because they are smaller. Anyway I have a boss sniffing round so I had better log off- speak to you later |<-- Lesley has left irc.penguinpowered.ca (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) My right wrist is semi-fused, so that isn't too much fun. Last time I was "timed" in my typing, it was about 160 words per minute [07:47] I suppose I should go and do a load of laundry, my own self. I hope every one has a great day.

[10:47] Looks like the bad weather has run off for a bit so I'm back [10:49] |<-- Lisa has left irc.penguinpowered.ca (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) oh well jo, dan? Anyone? I'm here, for a little bit. [10:50] Must be lunch time or thereabouts ;) [10:51] Must be :) I'm taking off for the dentist in 45 minutes or so. Root canal :( Oh ouch! That doesn't sound like fun [10:52] sorry, just checking on who some of these "people" are who have signed in and haven't said a word Nope. Been putting off dentist visit for years, so not too surprised. At least it gets me out of the office for the afternoon. [10:53] Hopefully you'll get some good painkillers. I've heard root canals can be brutal. I've never had one =-= mib_gto8l1 was booted from #rec.pets.cats.anecdotes by JillM (mib_gto8l1) [10:54] This dentist always prescribes vicodin. Works pretty well! I haven't been to a dentist in years. I really need to go but I got a tad busy taking care of Mom [10:56] =-= JillM has changed the topic to “Change your login if you come in via the web link: type /nick ” [10:57] Persia came out from hiding and is busily washing her fur I love her photos. She's a beautiful girl. [10:58] She's such a sweetie. Very snuggly. Yours are great, too! I used to love seeing pictures of you walking Harri when you were driving the truck. [10:59] Heck, they're all great :) I've got to take Harri leash-walking more often. We both need the exercise. I wish I'd been able to get Persia to do that. She absolutely refused to move when I put a harness and leash on her. [11:00] Amelia is like that. She'll walk about five feet then lie down. I see people here walking dogs all the time, it would be a hoot if I could walk my cat [11:01] It sure used to attract some stares when I walked Harri at truck stops and rest areas. I'll bet! It's not a common sight, that's for sure. [11:02] I still remember the first time I saw a truck driver with a cat. It was uncommon enough that the memory sticks with me. * JillM grins [11:03] And I'm sure the memory of seeing you with Harri has stuck with many other drivers :) [11:04] I know I loved seeing the photos :) [11:06] I guess I'd better take off and get my teeth done. Will check in again when I return to work. =-= dan is now known as dan-away Okey doke, good luck and I hope it's not too painful!
