Steph- I got this e-mail by mistake. It's for you.

Ø How to bathe the cat:
> 1. Thoroughly clean the toilet.
>
> 2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet
> water and put both lids up.
>
> 3. Pick up the cat and soothe him and tell him how
> much you love him while you carry him towards the
> bathroom.
>
> 4. VERY IMPORTANT - Quickly check to make sure the
> cat is bigger in circumference than the toilet drain.
>
> 5. In one quick movement put the cat in the toilet
> and close both of the lids in one fluid motion.
> You may need to stand on the lid so he cannot
> escape. The cat will self agitate with his body
> movement and make ample suds. Never mind the noises
> that come from the toilet as the cat is actually
> enjoying this.
>
> 6. After the cat has self agitated for about five
> minutes flush the toilet three or four times.
> This provides a "Power-wash" and "rinse" which I have
> found to be quite effective.
>
> 7. Have someone open the door to the outside, and
> ensure that there are no people between the toilet
> and the direct path to the outside door.
>
> 8. Stand behind the toilet as far away as you can,
> and quickly lift both lids at the same time.
>
> 9. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet,
> and run outside where he will dry himself.
>
> Sincerely and good luck
>
>
> Signed:
> The dog.

Just posting a bit until the fitness center opens at 5AM. Then, off to get in shap. That's where everything that settled to the middle gets encouraged to move up a bit.

Then home to my honey and later today, off to lunch and a bit of shopping at a new mall in Peoria we've never been to.

A little time with my wife, breakfast with a friend, email checks, Pixies ... it just doesn't get much better than this.

Up early to write my article . . . deadline nearing and none of my sources have returned my calls or e-mails. Am writing what I can without them but it's getting down to crunch time. As usual, had to ward off attacks from the wild kitty.

Went back to work today, after two days off.... had a good run on my bike wednesday, got it serviced yesterday (thursday!), ready for our trip to the Isle of Man.

Went to the funeral of a patient of mine who was found dead in his home last week; a lovely guy, but suffered from Bi-polar disorder. Still not sure how he died... post-mortem was inconclusive. All his five kids were there.... how does a 5 year old cope? I found it difficult, and I'd only known him for 18 months!

Can't be with my Love tonight........ makes things harder to cope with..

Can't wait to see her tomorrow!

16 May, 2003...Friday

Just found this thread and nearly pee'd my pants on post about cat bathing! Wondering if I should change my wooden toilet seat to porcelin (so cat claw marks won't ruin it) before I bathe Rocky.

Anyway......rose at 7:30ish this morning cause I am off work due to cut back to 32 hours. Squeezed out of blankets as cat gave me "the look". Got up and cat jumped from bed. Went downstairs. Got a cup of (cold) coffee.......damn F&*$in coffee maker....shutting off after two hours...my ass! Flicked the button to turn the heat element on again. Ran the hot water in the sink and dumped some cold coffee and "freshened" up my cup. Turned on TV and watched an infomercial while I drank my delicious first cup. Felt the unexplained need to buy a pilates machine. Fought the feeling and got up and went to get another....ahhhhhhh......hot (1/2 cup) coffee......to which I added cold water to cool it down. Yep! That's better!

Stripped in the living room and threw my jammies down the basement steps (knowing I'll be back inna few to sort laundry). Started the shower and cat came in to remind me that this isn't the procedure. Shut water off and went to feed cat. Came back to bathroom and started shower again. Showered...wishing I could feel this good forever. Got out and toweled off and went to open back door for cat. Thought to self......when is that fucker getting a job so I can lounge around like him?

Upstairs...made the bed and got some clothes. Looked in mirror and cringed.........(we women do that from time to time)........dressed and went downstairs aqain.....and then down to basement to sort laundry. Started a load and cleaned poop from litter box. Swept up litter from every nook and cranny of basement. Thought to self...If aliens are watching us, they don't have to ask who the leader of this planet is! Took poop (in baggie) up to bathroom to flush. Let cat back in.

Sorted bills and placed all "junk mail" in envelopes to go back to respective senders (name withheld). Got on line to make sure I actually had money in the bank (since I still have so many checks). Did bills......ignored a call from sis in-between cause she hates to talk when I am doing bills. Called sis back to gripe about doing bills. Misery loves company...she bitched back at me.

Got on Pixies and ran around the threads posting like a nut. Went like this the rest of the day.....Pixies, laundry, Pixies, laundry, Pixies, laundry...........supper.......and Pixies again. Stayed in tonight cause hubby loaded 1200 holes today and was exhausted. KABOOM!

Little after 3AM ... used the rest room; checked e-mails; logged onto Pixies and here I am. Not real exciting, but it's only 3:30 now.

Wonders if dicksbro ever sleeps!

It's my Friday and I don't want to go to work. I had a really busy week of working on an article in the day and then working evening shifts at the job that pays the bills. It would have been great not to have to work tonight and just take it easy. Alas, that's not going to happen.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Woke up this morning when my little guy whipered in my ear "wakie, wakie, wakie!" Slurped coffee while chatting with Kim in the chatroom til some of the other morning lovies showed up too. Answered some mail and changed my av. So far, so good. Gonna catch a nice perv and then clean my house like a mad woman....my mother is coming for the weekend

I have no idea where the weekend went! I also have to clean like a mad woman - three sets of guests are set to arrive next week and Tyler's too busy to help much.

Cleaning and getting ready for work with a healthy dose of perving is on my schedule before work today.

Good morning all. Been up about 2-hours with most of the time here at Pixies checking what all happened since I went to bed last night. Made my morning pass through the smut games. Added a few to our million count. You know, normal daily stuff.

Going to be a beautiful day here. Hope to plant some more flowers. Got a bunch coming up in front. Will take some pictures if they ever bloom. (Boy things go slow when you watch.)
