CatAnna She did say she gave pain medications to the cats who were in pain. From all I have heard so far from people who actually know her, Linda took in animals that no one else would take and many of these animals were sick when she got them. She nursed many, who...

CatAnna Sounds like you feel about 80s garage beat music like I feel about 70s disco.. I hated it then and I still do LOL! And yes, good music transcends generations. Even though I love a lot of the music I grew up with in the 60s, there was junk too... bubblegum pop...

CatAnna Early jazz ~ that's interesting. Who in particular? I like some early blues artists like Robert Johnson and Bessie Smith, though I haven't heard much of them lately as what I have is on vinyl and I don't have a record player any more.

I have problems in the computer room with lighting. Have a ceiling fan with lights but it's not really producing enough light when I'm on the computer for extended periods of time. Don't have an outlet close enough to the keyboard...

CatAnna It clips to the tray holding the keyboard and the light is at the end of a very flexible plastic-over-wire gooseneck that's about 8" long. It lights up most of the keyboard if I am it right.

CatAnna Ah, then your fiance must be an expert. We just ate at a Japanese restaurant today and they had two big beautiful Maneki Nekos I was lusting after. Mine are much smaller, as is our apartment, heh. I hope you find your perfect Big Beckoning Cat soon :-)
