Her name is Kitty GaGa and she is coolest cat! She's like 8 or 10 months old. Really lovey but she farts like a beer drinker. She's just a grey tabby though, not a Russian Blue.

A friend of mine once adopted a couple of blind blue kittens. They almost died while getting spayed and ended up losing their eyesight. Their eyelids were sewn shut since they couldn't see anyway.

It was really amazing to watch blind kittens playing. They really did not act that differently from sighted kittens. Sure, they were clumsier and were more cautious in moving around, but they'd go up to greet strangers, they trotted around confidently and played with objects the way you see most cats do.

I was a cat person until we got a dog.

A very cat-like dog, mind you. Shih tzu, who grew up around kittens. Sometimes she even emulates purring by lighting growling when she's happy.

I'm not entirely sure. The animal rescue home where we got her as a kitten just identified her as a tabby. However, she has a very long and bushy tail, and from what I read this is supposedly a characteristic of the Norwegian Forest cat, so she could well be one.

I had a Russian blue; I just loved how the fur would glow blue against the sun.
Unfortunately mine (9 years old) got lost for 5 months when we moved, when we got it back, the cat was as good as dead.
Russian blues have good fur (not all knotted up) and really good stature.

Women around 35-40 are hitting their sexual peak. You are at the age where you are hitting your sexual peak.  A lot of single women around 35-40 would love to have the "company" of a man your age.  Do the math.  Cougars rock.  

-Find a place where 35-40 y/o women like to hang out
-Talk with a few of them for a minute
-Enjoy their company for awhile
-?????
-Profit!

He was quite overweight, despite the fact that we fed him good food in sparse quantities. We figured that someone else was feeding him. He was getting old so he wasn't exercising as much as he used to, so yeah, that's probably why it happened.

It's best just to feed cats "human food", the commercial cat food today is absolutely terrible.

There's a lot of weird people who feed cats things; like the old guy at our old neighbourhood who even set cat traps with food in them.

Quote
a cat fed exclusively on dog food can not only go blind, but can develop a heart condition, called feline dilated cardiomyopathy.

The difference primarily is taurine, found in muscle meat, heart, and liver. Studies have also been done that showed pregnancy failure in queens with long-term taurine depletion, including increased resorption of fetuses, reduced litter size, and increased incidence of stillborn kittens.

Taurine supplement has been added to commercial cat foods for several years, for these reasons.


So if you're going to feed your cat a human diet, give in plenty of Red Bull.

Here, there is Reggiano's and StoneWerks.  Both are just a MILF shopping mall.  They are both upscale restaurants/bars that, during the weekend, are just MILF buffets.  These women have careers, money, and just want to use you in the most glorious ways possible.  It's awesome.  There's a few gold-diggers in the mix, but they're pretty easy to spot.

December 12, 2012: the ancient Mayan calendar comes to the end of a cycle.

November 6, 2012: another ancient prophecy, made in 1940, points to this date as a critical one in American history. One when a mistake might doom American democracy for 87 years!

While I don't agree with all the criticisms of Sarah Palin, I do agree that neither she nor Mike Huckabee can be considered to be fit for the office of the President of the United States of America. Also watch out for anyone named Nehemiah...

It's been a while since someone "fit" was up for election, a truly "fit" person would likely not make it that far through the political system, and if they did, they would be corrupted by the time they got there.  

I'm waiting for someone with values, that is old school and kicks ass rather than sucking up to every agenda with a dirty dollar behind it... but I think I will be waiting a very long time.

problem is such a person wouldnt be able to raise the kinds of money needed to survive a political campaign. Truth tellers are destined for lonely lives, and mostly admired once they're safely dead.

The best we can hope for is someone practical/pragmatic (focused on results) rather than someone ideological/loyalty based. Bloomberg is a good example. He's a kick ass mayor because he's so results-oriented (like a CEO, which he once was). But he'd never survive a national campaign.

I hear nothing but good things about Bloomberg.  The only problem I can think of about having someone like him in office is that, on a national-level, there are more political/moral/religious issues (e.g. abortion, prayer in schools, etc.) that I'm not sure a politician like Bloomberg would be the be best to handle.*  That said, I think he would be awesome at handling things like healthcare, the budget, financial reform, etc. even if I didn't align with his views on some things.

*Now that I think about it, he might be OK in a particular sense on these issues, as he might just stay neutral and not try to get involved in those issues.

yea its hard to tell how he'd handle himself in the heat of a national campaign. NYC is safely left-of-center, we dont get hit in our local politics with the polarizing national-level stuff.  That said, the few times Bloomberg has expressed opinions on national-level issues, he's been fairly diplomatic so far.

I remember watching a speech he gave in virginia to some business group, it was televised on c-span. His topic was gun control and how NYC deals with it (and how he'd like to see the nation deal with it) in terms of finding a balance between the rights of hunters and individuals vs the common sense controls and limits local governments need to make.  (Even free speech isnt totally free, cant yell fire in a theatre and etc, cant do libel, the freedom comes with checks and balances and responsibilities).

He was facing a mostly southern pro-gun crowd, and I thought he handled himself really really well during the Q & A period.  What I remember most was that he had a real sense of humor which defused the polarizers. And his point was always how to find a balance between individual freedom and social responsiblity -- he's a genuine political moderate, in that sense.

Very true.  I don't vote for president, we vote for president, and most people do not make well-formed decisions on who to vote for.  Many people just vote how their parents vote regardless of their stand on a particular issue, and people in the south vote conservative even if it's not in their personal best interest.

seriously! lol.


Possible RNC endorsed candidates:
-romney  (the hair will sink him)
-jeb bush (is the country ready for the third bush?)
-scott brown (he's the dark horse here I think. I mean, for god's sake, he won in massachusetts, which has to be one of the signs of armageddon)
-cheney (will the Dark Lord survive his next 5 heart attacks and run in 2012?)
-palin (yay!)

lol, believe me, we in the northeast are in a different country.  we have more in common with toronto than, say, chattanooga. And yea, after bush and scott brown all bets are off in this country's elections, sad to say. But at least with palin we'll be laughing all the way to ruin ;)

I'd prefer palin to cheney for instance. Palin would be hilarious as president, a kind of goofy incompetent giraffe bumping into things and mangling interviews. (Bush-lite?).  Cheney is just pure evil, lol. I mean just look at him. There's no laughs there, just start building your bomb shelter and home school the kids :)

People in my city recently really disappointed me with their uh, well, themselves, as reveals in the comment section of an online newspaper article.

Let's just say my city seems to be full of racist bible-thumping homophobic antisocial crazies. And no, I won't capitalize "bible" because that creates an implication of importance to me.

This was relevant but a series of quick edits removed the relevance because it would be offensive to residents of certain areas of the US.

you know what? I hate that the word 'comes' can no longer be used normally. First they stole "gay", then "comes". One can no longer say "I'm feeling gay and I'm coming" without being arrested. Doesnt seem right.

Other ruined words: facial.  The spa industry is probably scrambling to come up with an alternative.

...I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do.

It took me like 10 years before I realized what that song was about. I initially thought it was some kind of political statement. Not quite :)

I always thought REM's "The one I love" could be easily interpreted as a, er, gratification song.

This one goes out to the one I love
THis one goes out to the one I left behind
A simple prop, to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love -- Fire!

What I like about that song by the way, is there are no other lines other than just those four -- but you dont really notice that.

That "debate" was horrible.  It didn't matter what question was asked, Palin would spout off some entirely off-topic, canned response.  It was comical.

SNL *nailed* that parody so perfectly.  I'm one of those who laments that SNL hasnt been funny in over a decade, but the palin parodies could not have been better.

Yeah, I thought the SNL skit was a re-airing of the debate.  Then I saw the guy playing Biden and realized it wasn't.  Fey was money as Palin.

Palin did a SNL cameo late in the election season when Alec Baldwin hosted. Baldwin mocks Palin to her face thinking it's Fey and not Palin.
