    These are Raoul and Diego, two brothers from Germany. The brown-haired kitten is Raoul, and the black-haired Diego. We got them at the age of 8-9 weeks, and at that time both of them were blue eyed, but now the colour has changed. Needless to say, we have no time to rest when they ‘re around…

    I spilled a HUGE amount of catnip on the carpet last night and said ‘forget it’ and just left it there. This morning when I got up, Huddy was still laying in it. I had to check his pulse to make sure he hadn’t OD’d. :)

    When I give Sally and Stink catnip, Sally eats it up and than passes out on the spot. I asked my Hubby if he thinks I give her too much, answer “ya think, look at her, she’s comatose” Stinky just rolls around in it and plays. Funny to watch the two opposites.

    These two boys look like a world of fun to be around. Look at the expressions on their faces…tooo cute!

    Hello TDKr’s - no way, these two are just too cute for a Monday morning. Now I remember why I came to work this morning! These guys have totally made my day!
    Skimmed over comments from Friday afternoon to Sunday. Couple of cuties over the weekend; if you haven’t seen them yet, check ‘em out - they will brighten your day.
    Sounds like some of you are going through some tough times. My heart goes out to you, and I cry with you. Sending you lots of hugs and healing energy. Virtual hugs and purrs to all you TDKr’s, just because!
    Love Joan

    Don’t bother clicking on the images in the catalog, the high resolution images are too big to actually load. I’ll be fixing that shortly. Can’t do it from work. It’s still in the construction phase, but I thought you might like to see it anyway.

    I’m using Nvu (http://www.nvu.com/index.php) mostly. A lot of the HTML is just done in a text editor. There is still quite a bit of tweaking that I have not done yet. And yes, I will be linking it to a database for shopping. I’ve not even started on that yet. Need some more info from the Aunt for that.

    hmmm, never heard of that one. I’ve always been a Dreamweaver person with Cold Fusion or ASP.net myself.

    Have you used Dreamweaver before how would you compare it to Nvu??

    [+] Comment by MeezerMama [p]
    2007-07-30 16:28:06

    Only used Dreamweaver a little and I have to admit that I was clueless about web design at that point. Currently, I’m just too cheap to fork out the money for it. That and, I don’t think it works so well on Linux. It would work on the Mac though. I am kind of partial to the open source programs too. Free is always the right price :) Nvu is pretty capable once you get used to the interface. email me at jenhast AT cox DOT net and I’ll tell you all about my likes and dislikes on it. Don’t want to bore everyone with all of that.

    They don’t, as soon as you get done you start thinking of ways to improve it. I’ve already started on the wifes website and working on the design for a database for her paintings and for inqueries.

    Important points. I don’t have the URL on this comuter, but the Government Accounting Office has some data that shows that the budget situation is untenable if spending on aging goes on as before. Problem stems from a system built when very few workers lived to 70 and so retirement from 65 to 70 was funding five years. Now the same system structure is trying to fund people living from 65 to 85 or even 95. Nobody wants to make the tough choices around the implications.

    They are more worried about votes than their country. Pretty sad.

    I’ve always belived that if our government would get out of the way and quit trying to help/protect us from ourselves so much we would be much better off.

    Good morning all! Long time no post! I have a big, huge favor to ask of you, please keep Kittyman in your prayers, he’s had a relapse while we were on vacation. I had to take him twice to a pet ER in that area and they did everything possible to help him, but his breathing is still not good. I can only see my vet Wednesday or maybe tomorrow if “they have time”!! My heart is breaking watching my little buddy feel so bad and there’s nothing I can do to help. I sure would appreciate some positive energy sent his way. He’s only eating out of my hands and I’m terrified of what my vet will reccomend next. The ER told me to take him to a specialist and have his head x-rayed and his nasal passages scoped. He’s 16 years old, I don’t want to put him through all that, there’s also a chance he won’t wake up from the anesthesia either…..I need y’alls help………I’ve missed you guys………
