They're some kind of Maine coone or Norwegian forest cat. They used to fit in my hand now we can barely pick them up. And we had to graduate from cat door (to the basement for their litter) to medium size dog door.

I had a only one cat in my life that I could call a pet, as I wasn't ever meant to be a cat person (allergies... even the dogs Liz and I have make my eyes water, and sneeze? Oh, yeah). I named him after the Romantic era poet John Keats ("Keats"). He was so much like a dog, it was terrifying. I could take a 'super ball' (remember those?), and just drop it into my kitchen. Of course, the ball would bounce like crazy...

Keats would keep the ball bouncing, going nuts, spinning around like a dog, in order to KEEP it bouncing. Here's the 'terrifying' part:

He'd grab the ball, come back to me with his tail scissoring back and forth, and drop it gently at my feet. He'd stand there, watching what I would do.

I pick up the ball, say "Good boy!" - and send the ball back into the kitchen again. It was just like "lather, rinse, repeat." He'd always bring the ball back to me, and he never tired of the game we played. He'd also come, when called. He was just a sweet grey Tabby, nothing special, really... except for his dog-like behavior.

When I moved out from that apartment years ago, I carried him out on my shoulder to get him into my car, like I would do indoors. He went nuts, clawed me so badly that I had to actually get stitches (and shots) at the ER. He just ran away.

I never found him again. It's one of those sad moments in my life, that come back to visit within my mind's reverie. He was one-of-a-kind.

The only cats I had after that were when I was married to my ex. They lived in our barn, as we had two horses - a Saddle-bred mare that was well past fifteen hands tall, and an old pony (what an @$$ache he was). Just barn cats, to keep the snakes and meeses (chuckle) at bay. The kids would feed them all out of a 'community' bowl, and they'd eat whatever else they caught.

I haven't had any cats since. I'm waiting for Liz to get home from her meeting, and allow me to say a late 'good night' to @Whiskey - sheesh! Liz just called, so I've got to go. She and I are going out tomorrow night.

Thanks so much :) I am giving my all to heal. Should be back to me soon I hope. All these drugs are stealing my humorous thoughts. If I stay still too long I fall asleep without realizing it. Like passing out, but without the fun. :cool:

If you have funny thoughts laugh aloud! Celebrate your life and you'll heal quicker.
Then you can go and mess yourself up doing some other stuff 'cause that's just you.
You give shit all your oomph and cast caution aside.

Wake up, Saddle, wake up.

So I go to one of my Dr.'s for a 4:30pm appointment today. I get there @ 4:25pm, and give my name. They can't find that I have an appointment today......and then she says, " Oh.....Your appointment was made for the other office".......(Which is 20 minutes away, and going the opposite direction from home:mad:). The next appt. that we have for the time that you need is April 22nd..........:eek::mad:. So......Pretty much how my Mondays tend to go:rolleyes:. Goodnight all.

Liz is asleep, her curls next to me. I'm such a blessed man. She got a new nebulizer today, for her COPD / emphysema; I started teasing her, in a raspy voice from times long ago, saying the word "here," in that unmistakable way that many remember sounding like "'Ear!"

All right, everyone. Don't tease us about our Colorado move. It seems that everyone who lives in our rural area has something to say about it, like:

"Yeah... I know why y'all wanna move to Colorado!"

We're in recovery, even after many years - that fact, will never change about Liz and I. We live for today. Even though we're heading for Colorado.

Good night, Corner #2 - aka "@Whiskey's West." I just had a bunch of computer updates to finish, as I REFUSE to let Microflop do automatic updates...
did you know that they allow 'other sources' to send update data to your computer? I went into Update and Security in Winblows 10, and allowed only
Microflop to send any updates. Sheesh. Next big paycheck, MacBook Pro with terabytes of SSD memory, and GOBS of RAM.

@LOveWerks wants to record an album of his own tunes, on Pro Tools - send it over to his Finale program, score every track in staff notation - send it to the US Patent Office, copyright the tunes, and release them on his own label, "VapoRama (chuckle)." Maybe I can hit iTunes with a songload of 'bullets.'

My dream could possibly come true. I want to make Liz a very happy, healthy and financially stable woman. I also want to have my songs heard, and loved by many - even if they're a bit aged like we are... or, disabled like I am... ;)

'Night. :cool:

Why even bother trying to sleep. Now I know why my grandfather didn't even bother to get up out of his chair after a point. Went to bed at 11. Up at 2 to pee, like every night. Not only a good time for insomnia to kick in, but once again I'm forced to listen over and over to the soundtrack of Tinnitus, The Musical. Damn thing repeats with every beat of my heart as a whole other orchestra of gut-related problems jam in harmony. I can barely think or write or do anything but go crazy. Can hear that ringing loud and clear but can barely hear anything else these days. How the hell does that work? Music isn't even fun anymore. My wife has to speak for me at restaurants because I can't hear what anyone is saying. I answer questions people never ask like some kind of lunatic. This sucks. Time for Borg implants. I hope Breazy and Pete and Jimi and the rest of you sickos are feeling better. Sorry for the long rant, just in a mood today.

I've got vapemail approaching my location from 3 different directions, tracking it like a Predator on Schwarzenegger, so I'm gonna focus on that. :)

Peace.
