Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

Hello there , missing all of you. I just entered one of the puppies pictures in the Petcentric contest.
Under NENER NENER NENER

Ranking 914
If you can add to the list would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
Glad to see you all made it through the end and the party!wave
I'm trying to decide if it is worth wasting time on any more. It's obviously fixed.

The rules said that popular vote only counted for 20% of the score, the rest was from judges. Last month's was supposed to be an action shot. The cat winner is just laying there. What exactly is the point of having an action contest if you're going to award a winner that shows about as much INaction as you can get?

I will try all 3 that I have. If I do not like them, I invested in a lot of extras so I will get another. I liked the Logitech that I bought for this netbook. Then, no more spending. Nada, nothing more.

But we've seen so many people with so many problems, everyone assumes that the person standing next to them may easily need help. All I can do is vote and deal with problems one by one. Most of us are in the same situation. We help those closest to us, donate what we can and just keep keeping on.
...and then there's the other side of the coin.

Last week was the USPS food drive for the local food banks. I put out about 30 cans of soup and 15-20 Stove Top stuffing mix. Then headed off to take my wife to work.

Returned to find the food gone...only at MY mailbox. Still at the others. No mail yet.

Left to pick up my wife, and the mail was there.

Some $$*(&)$#)(*$% bastard stole food set out for the food bank.

I'll never put any out again. It goes straight to people who I know need it, or straight to the post office.

Hi Terry, how was your day ?
Oh, not very interesting - laundry, scooping poop, cleaning filters, trying to find a particular medical record of Sammy's.

Looks like yours has been rather stressful with all this nasty weather! Glad to see you're okay as well as the rest of the FF'ers!

Oh, that's too funny but so not fair!

Any time you get a picture of a cat that's not actually asleep, it's considered an "action shot." Every cat owner should know this.

Same here I was on both but never spoke bad about anyone. I liked the people over there and the people here. I was not involved in the purse thing at anytime. I do not post much mostly cograts and thank you and good nite.
Just got back into town with the girls and started reading the posts.

I,too, have friends on both forums and have yet to say anything distasteful on the forum. It saddens me to read what all has happened while I was away.

I try to do my part.

I was reading through posts about all the tornadoes and freaky weather and then I got to talonts bit about the nearly comatose cat. Figured a little humor wouldn't hurt.

I grew up on the East coast with hurricanes. I now live on the West coast with earthquakes. The best thing about earthquakes is, they're short. Five, ten seconds, and they're over. The damage may be extensive, but we're not hiding in bathtubs or in the basement while the sky turns green and the roof gets sucked off. And we don't have seasons of earthquakes where we keep waiting for the sirens to go off so we can find shelter. And we've got no snow, no 85% humidity, no giant mosquitoes -- in short, I LOVE living in Los Angeles. Yes, we lock our doors, but no, I've never been robbed or mugged. I lead a nice life, and if I find the opportunity to post a funny cat picture -- I go for it. bouncebounce

Heard a thump on the roof about2 hours ago. Shortly thereafter I began to hear a tiny kitten mew very scared. I have Finally found it!!! A little black and white Tuxedo penguin cat just like my boo only longer hair!!!! It wanted to kill me and ran but I stealthed it until I was close enough and then I blitzed it. Back of the neck like a venomous snake. Screamed all the way into the house. Now it doesnt want me to put it down!!! Looks like it might be a little boy but theres too much hair!!! No one around here has kittens and there was a bunch of house debris in the front yard so I might see if anyone from the storm area is mising a kitten. Sure is a cutie pie though

I dont know if the kitten landed on the roof or the debris did. Its only about 5 weeks old. Its mellowed out alot!!! Weve had the life flights going all night bringing in patients from Joplin. Live 6 blocks from the hospital and about every 5 min or so another one lands.
