[Moonbeam_Starlight]

38. Third laugh out loud moment of the day for me was reading

that Mara. I could almost hear your voice saying it and I don't know what your voice sounds like!

ROFL!

[Mara Steele]

39. Ha! thank you.

I do really love my guy friends, but sometimes they give me just a little too much information!

:D

[liontamer]

33. wow

what a cool picture to have

[jukes]

43. it was a moment!

llamas are fine animals.

[Bertha Venation]

24. I looked at these a while ago, and loved them

and I've been thinking about them ever since. Really. Thanks for posting them, Jukes.

(have you put your kits on Catster.com?)

[Mara Steele]

25. love your sig line, Bertha -

"posted by a gay american."

Very cool!

:)

[Bertha Venation]

26. If every queer did what McGreevy did yesterday -- regardless of the

motivation -- significant discrimination would disappear.

[Mara Steele]

27. I agree...

& little by little, we ARE making progress!!

And after we give * the boot, things WILL start looking up (I hope anyway...)

:hug:

[Bertha Venation]

29. I hope so too.

Any defeat of a radical right politician can help us. The less their weird "principles" are out of the public mind, the better.

LOL As I wrote that I had a vision of how a freeper would see it. Enjoy, lurking freepers!

Among those weird "principles" are the concept of "traditional" marriage. First, "tradition" isn't a valid reason to uphold the status quo. Second, marriage has changed so many times over the eons -- which tradition shall we apply?!

Anyway, although it helps us when radical righties are voted out, our issues will ultimately be decided in the courts. We'll prevail there or I'll renounce my citizenship.

[jukes]

32. B/V

a lovely compliment!

cat pix yet to be scanned, will take some w/ my digcam, if i can catch them in some part of the house that's not TOO untidy!



i echo mara on your sigline; be proud! lovers are better than haters, whatever the orientation!

[SarahB]

28. You are cute!!!

Too bad you're old enough to be my dad now! :P
Actually, just kidding here. :D

Jukes:
:yourock:

[Mara Steele]

my son is probably older than you! time does pass...

[Mara Steele]

34. Kicking this

for the evening crowd.

:kick:

Hey all... check this cool cat out, & thank him for his service, compliment him, or something!

:toast:

:hi:

[Mara Steele]

35. jukes,

what is the quote on your sig. line?

[jukes]

41. a line from an old stones tune

"paint it black", ca '66.

best song they ever cut.

[RetroLounge]

36. And here I thought you meant this!

That your green chevy outside the window in the last photo?

RL

[jukes]

42. no, G/Fs

i had a blue MGB then.

[jukes]

44. diff jukes

forsure.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

37. I could seriously break me off a piece of that action

the middle picture looks much like my husband did several years ago.

Roooowwwwwwrrrrrr. Is it bad that I like you more than ever now?

I just really noticed the dates on your pictures. I was born in 1970 so I am assuming you are a bit older than me, no?

;-)

[jukes]

40. 20 years

& i've changed a bit since then. still wear the same size jeans, though!



tx for the prop, just what i need right now!


:hug:

[Rhiannon12866]

45. Cute guy!

I especially like the first one. I can see the compassion in your eyes.

But where are the cats? They must be just out of camera range.:shrug:

[jukes]

47. thanx. rhi!

all these were pre-cat days. didn't start collecting cats until '90.


cat fotos soon!

[Rhiannon12866]

48. Well, once you started collecting,

there sure was no stopping you, LOL!:D

[jukes]

49. i better stop

or get back to my carpentry!


:hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

50. I just can't imagine having that many

but they certainly need you and you're doing a wonderful thing. There are just too many animals and not enough good homes. I see it all the time with my friends in animal rescue. It just breaks my heart.;(

I was so tempted when I was at PetsMart on Thursday. They have kitties there that are up for adoption and I always have to stop and see them. One of them looked pretty wide-eyed, and I suddenly realized that I must have been freaking them out, since I had my dog in the shopping cart! Oops! I just totally zoned out, watching the kitties!:spank:

[jukes]

51. good story!

most i can do @ this point is capture/neuter/meds/release. i'm working two colonies now, besides the household.

[Rhiannon12866]

52. Wow! I told you about Ursula, the woman who advised me

when I was trying to bring my cat inside. She works at the animal hospital and at the local ASPCA no-kill shelter. They also have a feral colony there. She and her dog get in her truck, every night, and go to where the ferals gather, to feed them. She has used the have-a-heart traps, as I used to finally bring in my kitty, but said that this only works with the young ones. The more experienced kitties know how to avoid tripping the trap. So heartbreaking. She told me that she had twenty-some kitties in her home, mostly young ones, trying to socialize them.

You must be familiar with Alley Cat Allies, the D.C.-based organization. My friend gave me a copy of "The Stray Cat Handbook" when I was trying, unsuccessfully, to bring my cat in and I learned about them from this. I called them and they sent me some great articles. The articles helped me out a lot. I would have made mistakes without them. They also do wonderful work, especially in educating the public.

[Mara Steele]

46. kick

for my friend!
