http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ Daily Kitten Chat Forum Topic: Night Shift for a short work week! en Tue, 14 Feb 2012 20:19:46 +0000 http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893/page/2#post-444236 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 04:37:04 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 444236@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>It's been 6 hours since the last post so I'm guessing most people are tucked up in their beds(US) or out at work(UK). I'm heading off to bed now to curl up with my trusty hot water bottle.</p> <p>It's 11.00pm NZ time, ...the night is chilly in NZ and cool to d**n hot in USA ..... so time to close Night Shift and snuggle under the comforters, so here goes gratis AZDEBRA, LV , &amp; Tigger from the beginning....good job everyone &amp; bless you...</p> <p>check - turns fountains off<br /> check - sweep the floor (never know who has been tossing stuff around)<br /> check - lights off and turns out neon "TDK Night-Shift" and "Poetry Jam" sign in window<br /> check - night lights glowing gently, puts on cool jazz radio for ambiance and stragglers check - cat flaps swings creeeeeeeek (pulls out WD-40), check cat flaps again to ensure they swing quietly and effortlessly<br /> check - doors closed, left just ajar so fuzzbutts don't come to us with complaints<br /> check - dry kibble out as a midnight snack (so hopefully no 5 am breakfast wake-up call) and freshens litter-box. Puts away assorted fuzzy, squeaky cat-toys into Toy-Box</p> <p>check - windows slightly open for Northern TDKers' spring and closed for Southern TDKers' autumn.</p> <p>Goodnight to all our imaginary friends in TDK land, Goodnight Airy and Jim-man. White light,healing energy and prayer for all those in need. Be careful out there! Bless all those whom have left before us, please watch over us &gt;^..^&lt; </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893/page/2#post-444174 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 21:37:09 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 444174@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Well, that sounds like progress! It can be a very slow process, but 99 times out of a hundred works to a greater or lesser degree.</p> <p>Give HRH a gentle chin tickle from me! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893/page/2#post-444172 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 21:34:34 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 444172@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>She will hopefully be happier in a day or so when the meds have started working but there's nothing like something cool and soothing on a sore throat. She's been sleeping beside me at night too. Just talked to Meegz and the task of getting her cat and partners cat to settle in with each other is going slowly but well. They spent the evening last night tucked up one on each side of her, but had a few hissy spits at each other. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893/page/2#post-444167 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 21:25:22 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 444167@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Poor HRH, sore throats are never nice. Glad she's getting some food down her now. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893/page/2#post-444164 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 21:16:55 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 444164@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>We're back. Poor HRH has a swollen throat, got an antibiotic jab and tablets to take each day. She also hooked a claw into the vets chest as he lifted her from the cage. She also walked back into the cage when he was done with her which is a miracle as we normally have a fight to get her back for the homeward journey. I let her out of the cage in the front garden and she followed me inside and demanded food. She has nom nom'd down a tin of salmon pieces in gravy. Probably nice and soothing on a sore throat. Happily bathing on the balcony in the late afternoon sun now, Shadz not me. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893/page/2#post-444162 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 21:14:31 +0000 jcat 444162@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Good luck at the vet, MS, I'm glad you didn't have to spill any of HRH's blood ;-)</p> <p>AV, my impression of American (ordinary shop) cheddar versus NZ cheddar is that NZ cheddar is a lot sharper .... ('tastier', we call it), it should have a bit of a kick to it! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893/page/2#post-444151 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:29:54 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 444151@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Success, HRH is in the cage, no blood spilled. We're off to the vet! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893/page/2#post-444150 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:25:16 +0000 AV 444150@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>ok, if I don't go to bed now, I'll be a "zomie" tomorrow, and can't do that since "I have a job" now! LOL..... sweet dreams to all, will try and check in early (sparrow fart) tomorrow!...... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893/page/2#post-444149 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:24:31 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 444149@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>LOL, yes AV it will be lighter in colour. We find the average American cheese to be very orange by our standards.<br /> I'm headed off now to get the dappled snotty one into the cage and off to the vet. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893/page/2#post-444148 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:23:34 +0000 AV 444148@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>KKat, you crack me up!.... "push me a big chunk" of that thru the wormhole!.... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893/page/2#post-444147 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:23:17 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 444147@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I loved our trip to Vermont laqst year because of all the great cheeses!!!!!! Cats are clamoring for their dinner, must run. Good night all! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893/page/2#post-444145 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:21:46 +0000 AV 444145@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I most defintely will!.... by the looks of it, it's a "whiter" cheese than the "normal" American cheddar ... but that's good in my book, since I LOVE American white cheddar.... typically more creamy, and melts better - so, I'm looking forward to it!... nice thing about this "organic" market, "Wild Oats", is that they will give you a sample of anything you request, so........I know where "I'll be going" tomorrow after work!!!! LOL </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893#post-444144 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:19:40 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 444144@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I love cheddar just to nosh by itself, or with a crisp apple. I just have regular cheddar in the fridge and may have to go get some now! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893#post-444143 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:18:16 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 444143@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Once you have sampled it AV you can comment about it on "I Love Cheese" thread. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893#post-444142 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:16:24 +0000 AV 444142@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>"nom, nom, nom"!....... I'm going to "give it a go" next time I go in there, I wasn't really looking for a cheddar tonite, I bought a nice fontina, some parmagianna reginniano and some marscapone...... but I'm always looking for a nice cheddar for my "southern" mac n cheese!.... I LOVE cheese, and am always looking for new and different flavors/textures/melting kinds!... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893#post-444141 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:16:23 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 444141@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>KYK, you seem relaxed now. Must be the wine &amp; cheese. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893#post-444139 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:11:31 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 444139@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>KK ohhh thank you! I love a nice Sauvignon Blanc! Nom nom nom, sip, sip sluuurrrrp! Oh so good! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893#post-444138 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:08:44 +0000 KapitiKats in NZ 444138@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Sending you some cheese KyKat and a nice organic NZ Sauvignon Blanc to go with it. And some for you too, AV! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893#post-444136 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:07:07 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 444136@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Send me some of that NZ cheese through the wormhole!!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893#post-444135 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:04:57 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 444135@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>BTW AV, KK &amp; I didn't collaborate on our replies. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893#post-444134 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:04:05 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 444134@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ohhhhh AV, NZ cheddar is really special, especially if it's organic.<br /> Now that I've done the promotion bit all I can say is maybe try it and see what you think. I believe there is quite a difference in cheeses between our countries. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893#post-444133 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:04:00 +0000 KapitiKats in NZ 444133@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>AV - I wonder what the brand of cheese was. Like many other countries we have lots of specialist cheesemakers. It will be good cheese - but probably no better than gourmet specialist cheese from other places. But it WILL be nicer than ordinary American cheese - sorry! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893#post-444132 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:03:45 +0000 AV 444132@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ok, thanks KK!...... I've been trying to keep up, but my brain is "frazzled" right now, between moving, the new job, and not having internet (TKD) for almost a week now!..... (it's been consistently inconsistent!).....</p> <p>so glad the "tour" is going so well!.... is it Texas next, I think?... how fun and exciting!.... (get your fans out people!, it's HOT)!!!! LOL </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893#post-444130 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:58:39 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 444130@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Andy is MCW's friend that she stayed with in Chi. He is also a Brit and a great guy. Hubby appreciated having another bloke to talk with when we girls got too crazy cat lady! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893#post-444129 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:56:24 +0000 AV 444129@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Exactly MS!... Fla. didn't make the tour, but we have LOVED the pics and posts that made us feel a "virtural" part of them!.....</p> <p>BTW, I saw some kind of NZ cheddar cheese in a store today, it was a gourmet "organic" store (Wild Oats).... and I wondered if NZ cheddar was something special, or if that was marketing?...... I figured go to those that live there - what's your take? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893#post-444127 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:53:07 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 444127@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ewwwwwwwwww! You really have to love your kits to forgive them that and I think we all qualify as loving parents here.<br /> It's great to be able to put faces to names even from this distance KYK. We get to live the meet ups vicariously through you all. Love looking at all the photos </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893#post-444126 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:53:05 +0000 AV 444126@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>.... ICK!... Cat snot!..... Cuddles has that frequently!..... just my "old girl" exhaling her self sometimes!... LOl..... I'm sooooo glad to finally be back up on line! I've sooo missed everyone, I love reading the back posts on MCW tour and all the meet ups!.... so jealous!!!!... Now that I've started a new job, and w**k such long hours, I can barely log on in "sparrow fart" hours, or late at night!.... </p> <p>.... please refresh my sad memory - who is Andy that was at the meet ups? is he someone's hubbs or a new poster? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893#post-444122 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:43:28 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 444122@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hey all! I started a seperate thread to adequately express how wonderful it was to get to spend a whole weekend with MC and NNGM and a big chunk of time with MCW. Andy was fabulous too! I am still really tired, but would love to go back and do it all again!</p> <p>Oh and havea great big chicago dog with extra ketchup! MR. KYKAT says he was surprised that he had as good a time as he did and it was great to turn imaginary friends into real friends and to help Andy pop into existance. He was glad to have Andy to talk to.</p> <p>Ewwww cat snot! When Emma gets sneezy she loves to get right into your face and sneeze! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893#post-444118 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:30:07 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 444118@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>GAG ! Heave! Shadz would have done the same but couldn't get her tongue to what was hanging off the outer edges of her whiskers! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20893#post-444115 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:19:14 +0000 KapitiKats in NZ 444115@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi all- you want a good feline snot story? Dara sneezed a load out the other night and before I could get a tissue to wipe her nose - it was still hanging there - she had licked it up! </p>
