The only time my cats look dumb is when they cross their eyes at me. I see it in fleeting glances. Mostly they are scary smart. They tell time, I am not even kidding. They tattle tell on the dogs. They perceive or read my mind, not sure which. I can be thinking where I might have left my book or ipad. They will go to it, before the thought is fully.
formed in my head.
Vet days are a real bitch. You cannot fool them.
“New”?
(laughing till I wet my pants)
Ok, a cool 64 Chevy pickup , powder blue. A little chrome trim to dress it up.
A number of years back, I remember reading about an SF author who was breeding cats for intelligence. I sometimes wonder how that worked out. Sadly, I no longer remember where I read it or who the writer was, although I *think *the writer was both fairly well known and female.
Was it the lady who wrote the “Cat Who” series? Lillian Braun ( I think, prolly msp)
Wow the Sierra Nevadas sure got hit with high winds and snow…March in like a lion!
Our March came in like a young Lion. Rainy and kinda windy.
I expect it go out like a frisky lamb.
“Chevy”?
(laughing till I shit my pants)
Outside of some early morning heavy rain, our March is making its appearance in a spectacular way. Yesterday afternoon was partly sunny and in the forties, and at least the next three days are going to be totally sunny and around fifty degrees. 
Good luck to all of you. I did the same with my son the week before Christmas. He promptly released himself, being a bit older than your daughter and an “adult”. However, he’s been receiving treatment and showing much improvement. I’m sorry you’ve got to deal with the ex, but hope things will turn out well!
I’m so glad your son is doing ok, Dung Beetle, and I wish the same for your daughter, B-RAD.
I got my car back from being repaired and they did a great job. I’m still pissed about the deductible, but they fixed the saggy driver’s side door, touched up some scratches, and detailed it inside and out. It’s so pretty and shiny! But now I’m afraid to go anywhere for fear of getting hit again. It sure looks nice in the garage, though.
I did end up sticking with the Impala for the duration. It was like a magic carpet, it was so smooth and quiet. It made the Sentra seem kind of crappy 
but at least I can park it more easily!
You tickle me. I just saw a truck like that and thought it was cool!
I don’t think so. Pretty sure it was an author in the SF milieu, but I could be very wrong. It was over 10 years ago.
I just misread the thread title as “Fuck off March (immigrants)” and briefly wondered why people who entered the country in the last 2 days were deserving of such derision…
Don’t worry, it’s only the Mini-Immigrants.
Minimmigrants?
It’ll be years til we reach the Minimminum of Minimmigrants.
Yes, I see she ended up on the east coast.
Where was Cleveland Armory from? He was a cat person first.
He did some work with the donkey population in the South West.
Beckdawreck, she did not, as far as I recall, write about cats. She wrote science fiction. She was trying to breed cats for intelligence as a bit of a sideline.
Thank you…[checks forum] uh, I mean, uh Burn in hell! Turns out, she and the mom are heading to Orlando tomorrow for the rehab. My problems with the ex are mine. The bitterness is pretty much all burned away, now it’s all just PTSD that I’ll manage when I get around to it. Glad your boy is pulling it together, as I suspect my spawn will. Sometimes I think they just need life to give 'em a smack or two across the mouf before they self correct.
