Quick check in. Just started Boys game. Got the pork loin on rotisserie Kay. It smells so yummy already. I'M COOKING IT FOR ME BUT I'LL LET DH HAVE SOME.

Kay, get the avast installed immediately. It's the video drivers I'm going to update. Hardly likely it's the actual onboard video hardware issue. And probably no need for upgrade add in card unless doing very graphic intensive things like games.

Kay has a good computer, enough memory, and fast cable/internet connection. We did some looking around so I can go back and do a few things. Main thing is I was getting screen redraw, connected remotely, 3-4 seconds faster than she was on her monitor. We'll get it fixed.

It was so great being with Kaypers.

Jen, your artistic skills don't surprise me one iota AND I'm still in awe of your talent.

Find and give some happy.

Yes maam, I just downloaded Avast:D...now can I have another cup a coffee? And I can smell that pork loin! Did you infuse my puter with smell-a-vision?!

We did have a good time on the phone...'cept she kept hangin up on me... specially when she was stretching one of those wide box thingys
and I made my usual perverted comments:D

Hi everyone :)

Should i get a cat? It would have to stay indoors because my neighbors shoot cats. The problem is i live in an older mobile home it is 2 bedrooms but is only 12 ft wide. I do have an addition built on it is like a florida room. So is that big enough for a cat or 2? I do like cats and think they would be easier to take care of than chickens.

i just wonder if my home is too small... Are females better at being housecats?

I would never let my cat out of the house, they live shorter lives if you do. I think your place is fine for a cat! As for females vs. males, as long as they are fixed early it makes no difference. Unfixed females will go crazy when in heat, and unfixed males will spray all over the place so don't make the best companions. I know someone who lives in an RV and has 2 cats, so your place is probably larger than that! He says they entertain each other.

I know many people don't think like I do but I firmly believe cats need freedom to go out and kill rats and birds etc. it's what they do and it's nature. My dogs don't go in kennels they even have a door so they can come and go as they please. Yes we have a fenced yard any less yard and I wouldn't have dogs. Animals are pets but they need some freedoms too. I know I wouldn't want to be locked up inside 24/7.
moms cats are 18 years old and still going strong out and about in the world.

I'm one of the people who don't think like you do, Darrel.
Domestic free-roaming cats are the worst predators alive on an already shrinking population of native songbirds. These are typically animals that are well fed at home but still kill small critters indiscriminately. I had a nice population of flying squirrels here around my yard and the neighbors cat has slowly but surely wiped them out. I know this because I can see the tracks and dead bodies in the winter. Doesn't eat them, just kills them and lets them lay. I don't think that's nature at all.

That is good news. I have a friend whose cat has kittens and that is what i want to get. Probably 2 so they can have a playmate to run with :)

haha Den Den you are so funny. But yeah i agree because chickens will be harder work and if i can't get outside everyday they would suffer :(

3 little kittens lost their mittens :D

All the cats i had growing up were mainly outside cats and hunted a lot. But my neighbors will shoot cats!!! So i can't let them go outside.

Your vote has been counted. Twice :)
