Could these **possibly[/b} be connected?

Once, when I was little, I leaned back on our screen door cuz I didn’t hear it slam and I didn’t want to let flies in so I leaned and leaned, and didn’t look – and when I finally looked, a kitten had followed me out but got his head caught in the door, and it ran off, and I ran after it to say I was sorry, and I never saw it again and I think I killed it.

Not being specialists on bear’s dicks, none of us responded. We didn’t want to look like fools. Joe Lansdale

65

Still can’t get the codes right!

And sorry for that earlier post, I thought this was the confessional.

66

Elelle, I admit it sounds silly, as does “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair.”

But I redeem myself with, “There Ain’t Nothin’ Like A Dame.”

Keyboard not found. Press F1 to continue.

No, really Wally the petticoats become ya…

71

sheesh, where to begin…I’m just a pool of eccentricity :smiley:

  1. I love Jeaopardy and quiz shows and Puzz3D

  2. I like eating sandwiches made of nothing but mayo and bread (they’re great, really!)

  3. I love to read and you’ll find me buried with a book on hand so I don’t get bored on the way to wherever I’m going

  4. I’m a huge procrastinator too, Milo…all my world history term papers on such things as Achilles, The Cherry Orchard and Hamlet were all done the night before - and I had the highest grade in class :smiley:

  2. Like GuanoLad, I am vegephobic and won’t eat vegetables. I also won’t eat fruit, nuts (except peanuts), seafood (except fish sticks), or anything with vinegar in it, which includes most condiments. I have the diet range of an 8-year-old.

  3. Joe Versus the Volcano is one of my favorite movies.

  4. I can recite 200 decimal digits of pi from memory, and can recite the “Gloria” from the Latin Mass in under 1 minute thanks to my choral experience.

The truth, as always, is more complicated than that.

Oh, man, Pam, sometimes life is beyond what a child can discern. Hopefully an adult helped you make sense of it. So goes it with another Random Fact:

I get pissed when people don’t realize how tender the mind of a young person is. Never tell them “that’s the way IT IS”. Let them have, with all high hopes, their ideals. And then give them the rational tools to realize them. It doesn’t matter what garbage you got handed. Keep it under your hat and pass on something better.

74

Elelle, thanks. I’d like to make a poster out of what you said and give it to every parent I know.

I told my mom what happened and she said something like “well, the barn’s full of cats, don’t worry about it.”

Sometimes I like to imagine that the kitten’s still alive – she’d have to be about 50 years old though.
