I have a dilemma.  I am an animal lover and have something I cannot come to a conclusion about.  At a restaurant where I eat lunch every Friday with a friend of mine, I have noticed a young male kitty hanging around outside looking for food.  This past week he ran up to my friend and rubbed her legs and quietly meowed.  I purposely did not try to pet him because I knew I would get attached and ignored him.  Well, ever since then I find myself thinking about him and wanting to rescue him.  Meanwhile, I already have 4 inside cats (2 rescues, 2 Maine Coons) and hubby really does not want another cat in the house because a few years ago I promised we would  never have more than 4 (had up to 5 at one point previously).  I actually have a huge screened deck he could stay on indefinitely because I do not believe in letting cats run loose for their own safety.  I could provide plenty of food, a warm place to sleep, and veterinary care.  At some point I would even probably work him into our household, but I just cannot do it at the moment.  Just not sure I would be doing right by that kitty because I am sure he would be upset and confused for a good while as to where he was and what was going on, but is that better than being hungry and cold?  I know there are lots of animal lovers out there.  What does everyone think?? 

after I found HUGE holes in the walkway between my house and barn.  I thought they were just little mice stealing grain, but then I spotted one and it was a HONKIN RAT!  My poor olderly cat was out there with me at the time and saw it, and he hissed at it and ran away! 

I asked for advice on what to do at a local agricultural board, because I have other animals and didn't want to use poison and conventional traps weren't working.  They advised putting a large pale of water out with some seeds floating in it, figuring the rats would go for the seeds and end up drowning.  That was a no-go because the water just froze up solid.  I wound up reluctantly going with Decon because I just can't have my house destroyed.  I haven't had seen any more rats or evidence of them stealing grain, so I'm guessing they have died.  The guy at the grain store promised me the rats would not die in the building and stink the joint up, rather they would crawl off and die outside.  I don't know if I believe that, as it is still winter here and decomposition would be holding off until it warms up.  We'll see, but at least the destruction has been halted.

Good luck and I too say have no mercy, because you just don't need them destroying hour house or causing a spark chewing wires and burnin' the place down.  It is war!

well Howard murdered Daniel and Anna Nicole for one reason only--  dinero there are things reported here in Broward-Dade that arent on the national news

Nip/Tuck, my all time favorite medical show is getting cancelled.  I wish they had worked in a story about McNamara Troy dealing with a loony MT!  Anyone else have a favorite doc drama?

about the alert and info on the 9-month-old?  People just blow my mind with some of the things they pull these days!!!

I hope all of them get adopted out to loving homes.  Bless you for what you are doing, I'm sure it hasn't been easy.  

BLACKSBURG, Va. — The gunman who went on a rampage at Virginia Tech university sent a "rambling" and "disturbing" account of his grievances to NBC between the first killing, when two people died, and his slaughter of 30 others, the network said Wednesday.

MSNBC, an affiliate of NBC, said the material included video and a multi-page statement. It said the broadcaster handed the material to the FBI.

In Monday's rampage, the worst in modern U.S. history, a man and a woman were killed in a student dorm in the first shooting while the others were shot in a classroom building on the campus about two hours later.

The correspondence with NBC was confirmed by Steven Flaherty, the Virginia state police superintendent, who told reporters at the university: "Earlier today NBC news in New York received correspondence that we believe was from Cho."

He said it included "photographs, video and multiple writings."

MSNBC said NBC officials would not disclose the contents of the material pending the FBI’s review.

According to a report on MSNBC.com, the package was time-stamped in the two-hour window between Monday's shootings and sent to NBC News head Steve Capus. Capus told the news Web site that Cho talks to the camera in the videos, vaguely referring to the shootings in one instance and stating that "This didn't have to happen."

Police feel the package may represent "a very new, critical component of this investigation," Capus added

well, appears that he wanted minutes of fame (by his notifying NBC in between the two shootings, making it premeditated for sure).....very sad....

God Bless Them All.....

  IT ISN'T BEDBUGS!!!

We had the exterminators over and they said they have extensive experience treating bedbugs, in fact they are fighting them at a local hotel right now along with a number of private homes.

They didn't see any evidence of bedbugs and they said the marks on my husband don't look like bedbug bites at all.  They suggested that he see his doctor, which he is going to do.

Woohoo!!  I am sorry my husband is suffering, but we are both GLAD it isn't bedbugs.

I'm so very happy to hear about your nephew.  One National Guard company who had been in Iraq for almost two years arrived safely in Minneapolis last night.  As I understand it, that's the longest any troops have been deployed.  Some of them had children they'd never seen--I cried along with all the rest of them when watching it on the news this morning.

Hope things continue on the "outsourcing" path, and your nephew and all the rest of our wonderful men and women so willing to fight for what's right in spite of it all will return safely and SOON!   

We stuffed the ballot box for ya daily...took my address book, sent out your request and folks were voting from all over and passing the msg along as well. It was the least we could do.  Glad Sumtner got it.   Cat
