Guest guest Posted March 19, 2000 Report Share Posted March 19, 2000 Hello, Pat! and a hearty welcome. I, too, use humor a lot, like when I stumble, I make comments like, " Fred Asatire should check out that new step, " or " Don't be jealous that your feet don't work as well! " When I can get someone else to laugh with me, it does help. And, then, I also have a son who is a master at word games, and jumping right in with comments. I keep telling him he should be a stand-up comedian, but he has no interest!!! But what really caught my eye in your post was being " owned by ten cats. " You have me beat!!! People think I'm crazy for having seven - all rescued also - Destiny (who was dodging traffic on a busy intersection); Snickers and Twix, sisters who were dumped by the side of the road at about 4 weeks old - had to bottle feed them; Squeaky, JJ, and Mr Bonkers, brothers who are not exactly cute or appealing and I didn't think anyone would adopt them so I offored to take them (plus Mr Bonkers thinks he's a dog and makes barking sounds and runs around with ham bones in his mouth - one day when I came home from shopping, he carried off a 5 lb chicken that was in a plastic bag and it took me over an hour to find him and the chicken - he " buried " it under clothes in the laundry room!); and Deviletta who is Snickers daughter and we took her back from the Human Society because they were going to euthanise her (the rest of the litter had been adopted!) I'll bet you have some interesting tales about your cats, too. I never had a pet in my life, and was 54 when I got Destiny - now I have seven - And my apt lease says " two small pets " so you all pray for me that I get accepted into a House project that the community is building for handicapped people!!!!

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2000 Report Share Posted March 20, 2000 HI Pat, My family would go nuts if I brought anymore cats or dogs home. I have 3 cats(one is expecting), and 1 kitten that just showed up, and 2 dogs. I am a professional pet sitter. I am a retired RN due to osteoarthritis in both knees. I do know that pets help me to feel better. I also know that humor helps me make each day. It sounds like you, Jeanne, and I are a lot a like. At this time, I don't have much time to be online. My mother is dying with cancer and has a short time to live. I stay with her at night, and don't always sleep solidly there. I come home in the mornings and cat nap here. I get the housework done by bits and pieces. I try not to rush myself, as I am the only one doing the housework. I have gotten my hubby to buy the groceries and take his good shirts/pants to the dry cleaners, so he is helpful. His clothes are way too heavy and big for me to iron anymore. We look like mutt 'n jeff.
