But what if Simba starts buying things with them..? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Simba's first purchase would be a whisker-controlled can opener .... or opposable thumbs ! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

We're doing good!

All the kids (pets) are doing well. The allergy season is not going well for the pups and one of the cats. Two legged kids have to be cheaper then pets!! In the next year or so (I hope for later) Aeon will have hip surgery. He's already had 2 knee surgeries.

Yep we named one of the dogs Aeon Blue! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

In November we'll celebrate 9 years. I am still amazed we made it this far.

Send me some of those tomatos. Mine are only doing so so this year. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Please don't tell me his self esteem was low before...

I can't imagine a cat with low self esteem....

That's oxymoronic!


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

I put all the junkmail I can fit into one of the prepay envelopes with junk mail and send 'em back once per week or so.

A nice old lady is sitting outside her house, on a bench, watching children play.
Suddenly a fairy appears.
"Sweet lady, because you have been so good unto others all your life, you are granted three wishes - but you cannot wish for others. This time you HAVE to wish things for yourself."

The old lady thinks for a moment.
"Then make me young again, so I can be strong and healthy and enjoy life longer."
And it is done - she is 20 years old again.

"And please fix my house - it needs a lot of repairing."
And the house is shiny and new again.

"And I would like some company - perhaps you could turn my sweet old cat Simba into a nice young man for me?"
And it is done.

The now young woman sits on the bench, hand in hand with her handsome young friend.
He smiles at her, gently, and asks:
"Aren't you sorry now that you got me neutered?"

Upon hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie
went straight to her grandparent's house to visit her 95-year-old
grandmother and comfort her.

When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied,
He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning."

Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that 2 people nearly 100 years
old having sex would surely be asking for trouble.

"Oh no, my dear,"replied granny. "Many years ago, realizing our
advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church
bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow
and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on the
Dong."

She paused to wipe away a tear, and continued, "He'd still be alive if
the ice cream truck hadn't come along."

Mr Rich, who is 93, goes to his doctor for his annual checkup.
Doctor: Hello Mr Rich, how are you doing?
Mr Rich: Wonderful, Doctor! I have found the love of my life, a beautiful 23-year old woman. I feel like my life has only just started. And you know what - we have just found out that she's pregnant!
Doctor: I see !! Well, then let me tell you what happened to one of my patients. He went bear hunting, but he's not very young anymore and gets a bit confused sometimes. So he went hunting with his umbrella instead of his gun. When he ran into a bear, he aimed with his umbrella, tried to shoot and guess what happened?
Mr Rich: No, tell me !
Doctor: The bear dropped dead in front of him.
Mr Rich: But that's impossible! Someone else must have taken that shot!
Doctor: Yes, well, now to get back to your situation...
