Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I have two spoiled little boys who think I should be eating their food and they, my food. Don't dare leave my plate alone, or I won't have anything left. One of their favorite toys is the straw I put in my drink. They don't play with any of the toys I bought them, not even catnip. They're twins, not quite a year old yet, but huge. Named them Ben and Jerry. Our storm warning starts at 4 am, and runs to 7 pm tomorrow night. Forecast is for 4-8 inches, with the possibility of 12 inches. What's probably going to happen is we get just a little cover. Saw the films from Fargo. Feel so bad for them. Just pray for them. Blessings to all, Tina Subject: Re: Waffle Day (OT)/Coffee and Tea and real cream or milkTo: MSersLife Date: Friday, March 27, 2009, 11:48 AM HAHAHA That's TOO funny! My cat is also a mooch. I have to be careful of what I leave out. I KNOW if I left out liverwurst it would be gone in a flash... She has a bag of treats and I will often enter the kitchen and see her there sitting near it, staring at it, as if she could open the bag with her kitty-willpower. .. ~*~Akiba~*~Pragmatic VisionaryISIS!

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Kate. You are right. Many of us with Multiple Sclerosis have trouble reading small font. If mine (Arial 14) is not large enough, please, someone, let me know. We should all adjust our font--this adjustment is on most e-mail pages-- to a size larger--at the least--than the usual. MS does effect vision; that is how I was first diagnosed! Love to you Kate, and thank you, Tina, for understanding. n P.S. Font in colors or on a colored background is hard for me to read. Others, please let us know what your needs are.

However, I can set the text any way that I want. I think you must be using something more like Outlook Express or Outlook. I am using the paid yahoo.com as I get triple virus protection that way.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 What would really get our cats, blessed be their memories, BALLISTIC was roses. Any kind of flowers, really, but especially roses. Trying to bring a bouquet of roses (or just a single one) home was a true adventure..., and would usually cost you quite a set of scratches all over the body. And then the roses had to be put up on a kitchen cabinet or something like that, where the cats couldn't go. Not that that stopped them from sitting under it and meow (or, as we used to call it, "sing" songs to the flowers). Guests had to be warned beforehand that bringing roses would turn our cats into merciless attack cats. They sure are entertaining! And maybe, sometimes, just a little bit crazy...LOL.love/Reb> > > >> > > > I think I am beginning to get it why most of > > > > Northern Europe drank tea, while the Italians> > > > and Greeks drank coffee--much earlier, of > > > > course.> > > > I am nuts about coffee with cream or milk,> > > > cheeses, all kinds and nuts, as in "tree nuts."> > > > O.K.
