The car’s mostly all better, but somehow I the horn no longer works. I’m going to have to wait to get that fixed, but not until my wallet is feeling better. ---

Howdy from da cave! Actually I’ve been here for a little while. I was out and about and had to go up to da Burg to see a program participant and since I was closer to da cave than the orifice I finished out my irk time in the comfort of da cave. So yay for that. **Ruble!!!** how the heck ya been? Ick about the basement and stuff. **flytrap** they should remake _Titanic_ just to add in that scene. 😃 **rosie** At first I read your post as the **cat’s** all better but somehow the horn no longer works. Poor Smokey, not able to honk! **Drae** I once dropped a phone in the terlet but realized it before it got pooped on. **gotti** spendin’ the day ejookatin’ rugrats? ::SHUDDER:: I hate those JG Wentworth commercials too. Some commercials seemed to be designed to make people **not** want the product or service bein’ hawked. JG Wentworth does that kind of commercial. Oven is beepin’ so that means go shove scalloped **N.O.T.** in the oven. ---

**Rosie** , I’m sure my mum’d lend you a goose, if you promised to look after it. Might have to teach it who to honk at though… Actually been getting on with felting stuff today, which is about bleedin’ time- I’m supposed to be selling them at a stall in a few weeks, plus I was planning to launch an etsy shop, but I’ve been terribly lazy, and hardly have any made. ---

JG Wentworth does that kind of commercial. You must be talking about the webuyanycar commercials. When they come on, I _violently_ poke at the remote; don’t care whether I change the channel or get the mute button as long as I don’t need to hear that @#$%^& annoying song!!! It makes me feel all [del]stabby[/del], [del]shooty[/del], bomby! :eek: ---

[QUOTE] I had a cat once that developed laryngitis. He would open his mouth and nothing would come out. This was from a cat who’s meow you could hear from the other end of the house.

Early dindin has been ingested. Tonight is Evening Prayer over to the church house, hence the desire for early dindin. Plus, I was hongry. So OYKW. Anywho, that’s life at da cave. **rosie** a cat will always find a way to hornk. It’s one of their more endearin’ qualities. 😛 ---

Home - I actually have a fairly big project to do at work, due Monday morning. Yay for time passing faster! 😃 \*\*FCD \*\*isn’t feeling well, so I decided it was a good day to make some chickie soup. I had a bag o’ homemade broth in the freezer, and I added some cut-up thighs, onion, peas-n-carrots, and some seasonings. After it simmers for a while, I’ll toss in some noodles. Not only will it be supper, but I bet I’ll get 2 lunches out of it also. Yay! {{{{{ **kopek** }}}}} I didn’t realize how much I missed you till you showed back up! Don’t be a stranger! For the record, I hate the JG Wentworth commercials and the Webuyanycar dot com ads and lately the one of the old college friends watching a football game that ends with the guy rubbing his pregnant wife’s belly - I hate that one just because it’s ALWAYS ON!!! I don’t even know what they’re selling, I just know I hate it. I don’t think I mentioned this, but \*\*FCD \*\*traded that last of the corals he was growing for 3 fish, a big coral that I can’t name, and 100 hermit crabs. He disassembled the coral tank so that he can modify it for greater water flow. Meanwhile, there’s more activity in the tank - hermit crabs are fun to watch. Guess that’s all for now. Happy Middle of October! 😃 ---

Hermits ate my PR peanut worms, the Byzantines! Does he have any feather dusters in the tank with hermits? I have read that they will eat them if they can get into the tube. One once left his shell and stood on it to reach some algae. 🙂 ---

I once had a siamese that had a serious health problem and had to be intubated, which damaged his vocal cords, afterwhich he would open his mouth to complain and a tiny, squeeky “meow” would come out. He’d look very confused and slink away, embarrassed. ---

\*\*flytrap \*\*- we don’t have any featherdusters. We used to have some cool sea cucumbers, but they died when the hurricane killed our tank. Soup was yum!!! And I had a Rocky Road Klondike Bar for dessert - also yum! ---
