Is there a point when your kids stop losing things? Mine are adults, and still lose sweatshirts, cell phone chargers, cash and a number of other things.

The real answer to the question "Why me?" is "Why not?"

Exactly right jbeany.  If ever I say "Why me?" my husband says "Why you, why anybody?"  I seldom if ever question that any more.

Vanilla, instead, twirl?

My cat made a dash down the window ramp out into her fenced-in outdoor gazebo the other day.  A little bird had slipped thru the wire, and was sitting on one of the cat perches.  My silly, declawed kitty launched herself at the birdie, and managed to touch it before it fluttered back out of the fencing.  My cat was so excited, she came dashing back up the ramp into the living room and made three high-speed circuits around the coffee table before she stopped, and glared at me.  (I was laughing so hard, I'd had to sit down.)

Ahhh, to be that enthusiastic about almost reaching your goals. . .

We had a power outage here last night from 7:45 till about 10pm.  It ended up with about ten neighbours all gathered in the street outside my house chatting and catching up with each other for about an hour and we had a great time.  One guy said he's going to plan a pig roast in his backyard so we can do it again with lights.  We talked a lot about how being "plugged in" dramatically changes the way we interact socially, not always for the better, as we become an attention-deficit-disordered society in a way.

Then the lights came on and we all scurried away and back to our own houses.

Please leave Her Royal Highness Queen Ruth out of it. She has enough to worry about with her daily chores of telling Mikey what to do 24/7, arranging for her adoring fans to lavish gifts and kibble upon her and laying still for tummy rubs.
