Hey, everybody! I am back online. I finally found a mobile plan with lots of data. Now to catch up on several months of posts.

The Brown Truck of Happiness brought me a Nook HD+. My brother got one with 32GB of internal memory, so he sent me the 16GB he has had for a year or so.  WOW  The screen is huge (9" diagonal) and the graphics are amazing. Angry Birds Star Wars 2 has never looked so good. It also has 1.5 times...

Just had eye removed. Doesn't look happy. A month later.  Will you please stop flashing that light in my eye? Furpile. Silly is the one furthest away. That's Sheba laying on Julie's head and Spice at the bottom. Two RB kitties. Silly and the love of my life, Psy.  I wish I had some...

Silly apparently had a stroke last Monday. I have made an appointment to have her euthanized Wednesday morning. She went blind in the one eye she had, and the end of her tongue is hanging out constantly. She has lost her sense of balance and can't make it into the litter box. I have had her for...

What do I have to do to have the emoji boxes translated into something I can read? It is really frustrating not to be able to get a lot of the content on here. Particularly when it is the title of a thread.

These are The Librarian (from the Discworld series of books) holding Peruke (play on Harry Potter's snowy owl Hedwig)

I finally have a working computer back up again. The Nook Color was not bad for reading posts, but was a pain to write on. Thanks to my brother, for pulling the computer out of a trash pile and for buying me XP to put on it.

I just got through watching "Life on Four Strings" on PBS.  It is a documentary about this young man. If you like this one, check out the other videos of him on YouTube, especially the one where he does "Bohemian Rhapsody"

Barnes and Noble has discounted the Grumpy Cat book, "A Grumpy Book" to $1.99 for the e-book version. I don't know how long it will be on sale, so hurry. A must-have book for all cat lovers.

These were taken this morning. This is how thick the ice was. I chipped this chunk out of the road in front of my property. At the end of the driveway looking West into the Ouchita National Forest. At end of driveway, looking East. The property line runs North just beyond the clump of...

Is there a relation between genetics and the likelihood of contracting Feline Herpes? My two cats from this locality have it, but the three I brought in from the Dallas area don't have it. I am very interested in feline genetics and how they make each cat unique. Thank you for taking time to...

With so many "superheros" in the movies and on TV today, I would like to say something about REAL heros. The men and women who get out there during and after ice storms, to bring electricity back to the freezing residents of the dark houses. In case you can't tell, where I live was in an ice...

As most of you know, I have a friend in Florida that is the art director for a small advertising agency. This is one of the billboards he designed. I have been given permission by the copyright holder to post it here. He is hoping it will go viral.

I downloaded ABSW II to my nook color (running Android 4.1.2) the day the free version came out. WOW. Excellent graphics, a combination of easy and difficult levels, winnable new characters, and the ability to play either the Light or Dark side of the Force. Are there any other members that are...

I have asked to do the question of the day today. And since it is 12:15 here, today has started I am going to do this differently today.  You have your choice of one of two questions.   What is the most expensive thing you have ever driven, piloted, steered or ridden...

If you haven't done it yet, go to the Google site, and check out the animated tribute to Maurice Sendak's 85th birthday. If you have ever read or seen one of his books, you will love it.  It is 3 minutes long, so be patient. Happy Birthday, Maurice

This was taken a year ago when they were still kittens. It is poor quality, because it was taken with a cell phone.  They still wrestle like this, but they weigh 10 pounds each and are almost twice this size.

About 4:30 this afternoon, I saw all the cats running in growling while I was making supper.  I grabbed the house cannon (20 ga. pump shotgun), walked out on the back porch and saw a large coyote about 15 feet away from me walking toward the porch. I quietly opened the screen door and when he...

The vet gave me onsior to take care of Silly's pain from two extractions.  She seems to be doing okay with it.  Give me some of your experiences with it, please.

Silly went to the vet this morning for some dental work.  The vet put her under, scraped the tartar off, pulled two teeth, sewed up the place where a difficult one was, gave her a pain shot, an antibiotic shot that lasts two week, is keeping her overnight for observation and is sending some pain...
