Update

I've been sick for awhile now. I missed two days of work. But, I'm feeling better and will start blogging soon. I stopped by PetSmart Monday to see if anyone had adopted Chito. He was stretched out in his cage like a golden mountain lion. Luckily, he didn't see me and I made a hasty retreat. I just checked again and he's gone. So, any thoughts of taking him back (and I've had plenty of them) are moot now. I hope he went to a good home. Wait'll they get a whiff of him. I haven't even thought of the litter box for nearly a week now. Chito did one more thing before I brought him in last week. I had changed the litter cartridge and had the old box setting by the door waiting to be taken out. I was on the computer when I heard a scratching. Chito had taken the top off the box and made one last deposit. He was a reverse-Houdini. He could break into anything. Well, Ginger is staring at me. She wants to take her afternoon nap. Since' I've been up since 4 a.m., I guess I'll oblige her.

Maybe he would be happier if he were the only cat in the house and that couldn't happen with you and your girls and maybe now it can.

What is the name of that great litter box you were talking about a while back?

My friend is looking for one and I remember you said you had the best!; 7:57 PM
Anonymous said...: I'm glad you're feeling better.

No doubt Chito went to a good home. The people that frequent the pet stores are people that like animals. I'm sure he schmoozed his way into a kindly heart.

Why is it that Ginger has to stare at you to take her nap? You two have a ritual afternoon nap routine? :); 9:55 PM
Lone Ranger said...: Well, four days a week, I'm normally sleeping days, and she sleeps right next to me. And on the other three days, I usually take a nap because I'm messed up from the time change. Ditto on the nap. She figures she shouldn't be sleeping unless I am.; 10:50 PM
Trader Rick said...: Sorry to hear you've been under the weather. Drink hot green tea and triple your daily Vitamin C intake, and think pure thoughts. Smell a dog's ear, very soothing. Won't work with cats, they will suck your breath out while sleeping on your chest. Beware!; 5:09 AM
Lone Ranger said...: I made some chicken soup with Chinese meatballs last night. There's nothing like the healing power of pork. That, and sleeping till noon seems to have done the trick.; 4:18 PM
Jim O said...: We have three cats and one dog. One of our cats, Oliver, is a not-quite two year old male with an adventurous spirit. Yesterday, my wife took our dog for her usual morning walk, and, as sometimes happens, Oliver decided to accompany them.
Their path took them past the house of neighbors who, the day before, evidently, had put up a child's outdoor gym, complete with a slide.
As soon as Oliver saw it, he ran to the slide's steps, climbed up, slid down the slide, and trotted back to my wife and dog. As if it were just the expected thing to do!

I don't understand people who don't like cats.; 7:39 PM
Trader Rick said...: Cats were brought here by the Aliens who taught the Desert people how to build pyramids, Jim. Those of us Earthlings from the cold north of Europe who trace no lineage to the Aliens prefer our sled wolf-dogs. We perceive the evil that lurks in the Alien animals. They are the familiars of witches. We can see the trickiness in their eyes, can't you?. They are here to WATCH us.

Your anecdote proves my point.; 4:46 AM
Lone Ranger said...: I thought snakes were brought here by aliens. That's why so many people are repulsed by them.

Man, I dread the day aliens land. If we can't even stand the French, how are we going to fare with aliens?; 7:51 AM

Talking Points

I don't use talking points, I create them.

1. Hate makes people stoopid.

2. There is nothing so impenetrable as a closed mind.

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
