> [@TheRealStrawberry](#): > > I don’t have a yard or anything as cool as a grill, but this weekend I rode in the MS 150. “What is the MS 150?” you ask-- it is a fundraising ride for the national multiple sclerosis society. I rode my bike from Houston to Austin over the weekend, about 180 miles. Well, actually my knee punked out on the second day and I caught the bus for the last 30 miles. I met some cool people and it was for a good cause; now I feel all warm and fuzzy. > > BTW- this is my first post. > > -cat Wow, we’re just drawing them out of the woodwork this week. Congrats on your ride, Cat, and welcome to the SDMB! Don’t let our weirdness rub off on you too much. And don’t let us rub on you, physically, unless you enjoy that sort of thing. ---

Her kids were taken away and put into a foster home? If we had been warned to keep her away from the booze and the boys this could have been prevented. We thought she was a fine upstanding young lady. :eek: We even have photographic evidence of her wild escapades: [http://kaczorzoo.net/moose](http://kaczorzoo.net/moose) We know the location of the fathers if you need them - but you’d have another pair of wild moose to take care of. ---

Welcome **TheRealStrawberry** to the MMP cool kids clique! Ya done good doin’ what you did over the weekend. You deserve the warm and fuzzy. **Rue** will be along later to do the ritual hokey pokey feather dance to officially welcome you. (He’ll deny he does this but he does.) ---

**Parallax** , I have photos of **FairyChatMoose** in much more compromising places than that. Would you like them for posting purposes? And when I warned **TheRealStrawberry** about people rubbing against her/him, I specifically had **Rue** and **Swampy** in mind, depending on the gender. Funny those two should be the earliest respondents, eh? ---

**dwyr** , the kitten is going to the vet at 11:30. My current theory is that she pees on the bed because she’s angry at us for leaving her alone. At all. This is bad. I hope it’s not that. I’ll get Mr. Lissar to ask the vet about that calming spray. I didn’t do much this weekend- grocery shopping, work, went out dancing, and we went to Mr. Lissar’s dad’s place for dinner on Sunday. That was nice. I think, since someone ( **swampy** ) mentioned me, I’d better use my sig. ---

I have never turned away a good shoulder rub, but my husband may be jealous if the rubbing wandered below the waist… I have only cleaned up my dogs puke once; before he puked he just got this really confused look on his face, circled around looking for a spot and yacked. No noise, no warning. Lucky for me he did it on a towel that I had just droped on the floor, so cleanup was easy. My roomates dog is another story- The little guy pukes about 3 times a week, and since he is a purse dog (less than 5 pounds and can be carried in a purse) it normally happens while he is sitting in your lap/bed/favorite snuggle blanket. He gives ample (well, about 20 seconds) warning though, so we have begun leaving hand towels all over the house in anticipation of the inevitable. I keep telling myself that catching doggie puke in my hand is excellent training for having children in the future (It’s the only thing I can do to avoid adding to the mess). Had him checked out many times by the vet, but no medical problems. I think it has to do with his affinity for chewing on the carpets. I have lurked for a while, so I knew that I had to post to a **Rue** thread first to cinch my membership to the clique. ---

**Shibb** and **Swampy** , Awww, I’m so touched to be invited to FCM’s going away party. I sure wish I could but the Fogal Anachi parental units are moving into assisted living and need a helping hand. And I have admired Fairy Chat Mom since I started coming to the Dope, too! Darn!! **FCM** , I have a daughter and neice attending UCF and they really like it. Also Mr. Anachi is a grad (Class of '79). Did you know that one of the original names considered was **U** niversity of **F** lorida at **O** rlando? I think that would have been a cool name what with it’s kinda-sorta proximity to the space center. Thanks for the warm welcome everybody! Y’all are totally kewl!! ---

However, there are no babies at my house, but there are three Moose (mooses?) named Juneau, Fairbanks and Sitka Haines (why yes, I have lived in Alaska, why do you ask?), who would love a visit from Miss Moose. Perhaps especially a Loose Miss Moose, but I respect the privacy rights of all animate and inamate creatures who live beneath my roof (except spiders on the bedroom ceiling–who knows when they may forget how they stay up there and fall on my face as I sleep–they are escorted outside). Could somebody please tell **Ex** , to whom I will not be speaking until he admits he was wrong, that I’m not jealous of him flirting with others, I’m upset and terribly, terribly hurt that he said that I forgot the engagement when it was him, the heartless one, who forgot about it. Now excuse me while I go flirt with **Bumbazine**. ---

Mmmm, after viewing the moose photos, I’m sure it’s fate that I found this MMP as I have a moose, too. Like **Kallessa** I lived in Alaska and developed a fondness for them. Mine’s a boy moose and is named Tanana. At least the UFO name wasn’t as bad as Friendship University of Central Kansas. Yikes! ---
