the "nobody" label reminds me of calling the internet provider years ago to complain of an outage only to be told by the voice at the other end "Ma'am, nobody has informed us of an outage" and I said "Let me introduce myself..my name is Mrs. Nobody and there's an outage"...

Actually the Nobody label is in honor of Emily Dickinson Poem J 288

I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you—Nobody—Too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell! they'd advertise—you know!

How dreary—to be—Somebody!
How public—like a Frog—
To tell one's name—the livelong June—
To an admiring Bog!


My motto. Try and do good and disappear.

my motto is (particularly for this election cycle) I don't necessarily want to inflict the revenge but I sure as hell want to witness it when it happens...

2 are litter brothers who are Tuxedo cats. at the time there was no all black cats up for adoption and I wanted to protect those type of cats that always seem to be harmed by humans.

because they aren't "photo friendly"...Instagram thing.

The other one is a female grey Tabby.


We got all three from a rescue and I am angry to have worked with that rescue center. The 2 boys had been ferals which is fine but in the 8 months they had the boys before adoption it looked like they hardly worked with them at all. The one we can't pick up and put in a carrier yet. It looks me 3 years to gain their trust and allow me to pet them. Hubby can pet and hold the one but the other one is just letting me touch him. They have been fixed.

Visiting this place is my version of having coffee in the morning and wine at night (sometimes Jack or Jameson).
