Hey Bob, >Yes, the SO can get a bit cranky when you're on the Internet. >I don't know what 'slam notes about getting down the cat box' are, >but they don't let us box up our cats here unless they are dead. ><g>
I didn't proof read my email. I said 'slam notes' whe I really meant she was writing me notes and slamming them down on my desk (while ducking low-flying broomsticks) and intimidating me with threats that if I didn't get the 'cat box' down from it's place in the (f)utility room, I was a dead man. The cat box itself is one of those plastic affiars with a wire door on one end for transporting cats between a sleepy corner and the vets. We have one cat that we have been trying to shove worming tablets down her mouth for nearly 8 years without success. (Okay wise-guys with cats reading this thinking, ' Daaaaah- it's easy, you just gotta know how.' I say 'YOU TRY!!!'. We have tried coaxing, shoving, decoying, camouflaging, seducing, sedating, tricking, contorting, everything! No way. Two of us with gardening gloves on and farrier's trousers (heavy leather pants) might *appear* to get it in after a ten minute fight to near death, but you could sit there frozen, tapping her throat for 20 minutes, and as soon as you release her, up it pops - out onto the floor, a soggy mess of expensive worming tablet. She bolts and that's that. Much easier for the vet to do it - I assume he surgically opens her gut and implants the blasted thing straight in - can't be any other way.... >And wait until your kids are old enough to want the Internet connection... >I have to get up at 5:30 AM to have access time. Hmm, my son is 8, uses an ageing PowerBook, but so far so good: he's still young enough to hate girls, and his pals are all to stupid to sort put email yet, so I reckon we're safe for about 3 or 4 years? You have my sympathy! Best, Cotty PS - congrats on the 85mm f/1.8 !!!! Nice one :-) _______________________________________________________ Personal email traffic to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MacAds traffic to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Check out the UK Macintosh ads http://www.macads.co.uk - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
