Rules for Shadow

-

 If you follow me into the bathroom, please look before you leap — you’ll avoid getting wet.

Can we please keep the litter in the litter box, not on the floor?

Your paws do not belong on my kitchen table. Or counters.  Or in the sink or dishwasher.

And it goes without saying that you shouldn’t knock things off the counters,

And please stay off my keyboard.  You should not be answering my email.

Can we not chase toys at midnight? Nighttime is for sleeping.

The drawstrings on my sweatpants and hoodie are NOT toys.  I give you plenty of things to play with, leave my clothes alone.  

Soft paws, not claws, if you want to grab my arm or leg.

If you sit on me while I’m in bed, I prefer to look at your pretty face, not the other end, thankyouverymuch.

Dinner will be served at 5:00.  Not 4:00 and definitely not 3:30, and I don’t care how loudly you meow.  You sound like a squeaky toy, by the way.

And yes, I know my food is much yummier than cat food, and I will share with you.  But do not help yourself.

If you follow these rules, we will get along.


  

Yes, she’s grown a bit.

    And how many of those rules does she follow? Ah, cats.

    I love my cat, but she is a bit …rambunctious. She makes up for it by purring in my lap.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

DISboards nonsense

found a new blog today. Love it. http://secret-squirrel.webs.com/index.htm I've posted there under various names over the last 10 years or so. it went from a sweet little board that was Pete Werner's hobby to ....well, a real nightmare. that a board devoted to all things Disney can be such a nasty, racist, childish (not childlike) place.... loving the inside scoop, though. Did I ever tell you how "songbird" was banned from the DIS? I was a poster in good standing for 3-4 years. Even booked my trips through Dreams Unlimited, back when Pete was careful to distinguish between the disboards as a hobby and Dreams as his business. Pete and Webmaster Alex were struggling with server issues, the disboards would go down more often than they'd stay up. then Pete announced cosmetic changes to wdwinfo.com, which feeds into the disbaords forum. Like all other members of the forum, I was frustrated. so I was a bit sarcastic. I posted something to the effect of "would yo

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.
