You made the right choice then. We were adopted by a grey tabby 3 years ago. We named her Porsche (how decadent,eh?), but she usually gets called Smorshee. Happy Groundhog Day, Tig, Nonnie.@

you could have called it 'Mercedes' (Dr Porche's daughter's name !) .....

What is GroundHog day ?


Tigger |\/\/\/\/\|

Only US. Supposedly, the groundhog comes out of its burrow to see its shadow. If it sees it, winter's almost over. If it doesn't, there's 6 more weeks of crappy weather. (it could be the other way around). Anyway, in the USA, they drag out a poor groundhog, and have a party. There's a movie called "Groundhog Day", with Bill Murray, that you really should see. @

What is a GroundHog ? Does it have a less US-centric name ?

P.S. I've heard of the film, but never seen it

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

*peers around and ducks head* I hope the Oracle wasn't listening!


'Nonnie

about 15 board feet. always good to see YOU, your Highness. do you want a mushie? Tig? @

assuming 'mushie' == ''shroom' - yes please !

interesting, I usually use broom-handle yards, when measuring wood !

Hello ...... hello Ali,

You OK ?


Tigger |-----------| <<---- Flat spring

*blinks*

ali, have you confused me with HRH bluDragon?

And yes, I'll take a nibble from a mushie-shroom, thank you.

(Who sees I spoke too soon re Peta and the new thread. )

Oops, pardon me. Ignore that last. Wrong Window, Wrong thread. (CCM?)

'Nonnie

i'm AOK, Tig. how was your weekend? no, Nonnie, i'm not confusing you with anything. being royalty is hard to get used to at first, but you are going to love it. have some more mushrooms. i've got an incredible mess to clean up at home. i didn't do anything over the weekend, and it really shows.@

Hi Ali,

Glad to hear you're fine - our weekend involved removing more wallpaper, finding cracks in the wall that the previous owners had covered up (!), fixing/filling cracks, making shelves etc .........


Tigger |\/\/\/\/\/|

P.S. Noonie, glad to hear about the cat-flap . However, I hadn't thought of using one that way before !

Alicat: I'm surprised I haven't seen you at my party! You're most welcome, along with everyone else. 'Nonny was the first guest to arrive. We're all singing at the moment. You should hear Jeni X, she's a very good singer-harmonious voice, and there are plenty of choccy 's being served! We're trying to play all the slushy ballards at the moment but there's someone else who like heavy metal which isn't really me, or most of my friends either. I'm warning you now, the song playing now might make you cry, it's the type that sounds so sad!
Tigger (or was it 'Nonny?): I've got my new computer now and I'm shocked at how fast it is! I was used to walking around the room for a bit before thing s happened, and now they happen so quickly my mind needs time to register it's just happened!

Hi Katsy. I just found out your address, from Ossario. I just have to go back to the beer pool on Vitulub VI to get it , and I'll be right there. Sounds like you've got your hands full, too.@

Hi Keeza-P-P

Catflaps? *blinks*

Who's Noonie?

'Nonnie

Dream?!!!!!!!!!@

I blame the fingers - sproppy little blighters, never doing want they're requested to, going off on holidays by themselves etc.
