Good Morning~

Now that is strange you should have been able to reply back. I don't block anyone.

Thanks Jeanette, OK I'll meet you down by the duck pond,lol I'll bring a bucket of corn, for them.

Thank you for the nice comments on my photos!!!

Yes -- those cats sure are bodacious! The big thing we got was a food-related appliance -- I don't want to disclose too much in case I violate my "contract." But I'm just amazed I got it! Once we actually got a call that said we might get to try an oven, which they would later have to take back from us! But we didn't get that. Lately I've also gotten a lot of snacks. Once we got some pistachio and peanut crisps (from True North which is really Frito Lay) and they are really good (a bit expensive though). I just wish BzzAgent had more organic / natural oriented products that I could get enthused about. But I get enough from the other places to keep me busy. Looks like my latest project could be to make a combination bird bath / cat feeder from that port-a-potty frame we got from our neighbors. Have a fun week with the criiters!

As for our cat Orangina, today she surprised me by actually hiding out on the OTHER side of the car! I get a kick out of that silly cat. Yesterday Mom thawed out some very old meat balls from the freezer, so we tested them out on the cat. And whatever she don't eat, some other wayward critter will. Also I can't believe all the goodies I keep getting from the survey places. We really got something substantial today -- even without "documentation"! Just hope we don't have to give it back! Have a swingin' time on Gather.

Thanks for the ping! I know what you mean about keeping up with Gather. Seems like I just keep getting more regular e-mail all the time, and one day I couldn't even connect to the internet until 9 at night! Think I missed a lot of good surveys that day. Today was positively halcyon though. I discovered a great new herbal soap shop uptown called The Velvet Pod. They even had Wisconsin beer soap, so I got some of that for my brother. And I actually found aloe glycerin soap, so that was most welcome. They even had something called "Canine Wine" which may not be the best image of a product, but I'm sure it's kosher (and probably beef flavored). Hope you had a great day and enjoy your weekend -- don't have much new to post, so I'll have to dip back into my voluminous archives! Take care.

Glad to hear from you, Jeanette! Take your time with the Gathertown posts, I'm actually slowing them down to posting once a week so I can get back on track with finishing up Aterrene. Best wishes for your son's surgery, I hope it's nothing too serious(?) Take care...
