OK, it's not definitive, but neither of my cats like bananas either. They're not spooked; just not interested. Wally has always been picky, so his refusal was not a surprise. But Hathor eats anything! However, when offered a banana, she sniffed and then back away while curling her lip? Apparently, Hathor finds the odor of bananas to be offensive.
I read Catsuberalles' "Primer For Newbies" and discovered that the easiest way to view a lol is to RIGHT-click on it and to open it in a seperate window. When replying to messages, I have 2 pages open - 1 on my message and the other on the peep's message page. Another corner that I cut is using pull-down on Recent Pages to select the exact page to which I wish to return - I don't know what stats ICHC is trying to collect, but passing thru cheeseburger-analytics.com is a definite slowdown. ... I agree, whatever is causing the logins to be lost needs to be fixed. I suspect that a large part of the problem is that the servers do not have sufficient resources to support the volume of activity that they are encountering.
It's more of a technical problem. IF I get the "reply" option and TRY to, it tells me I have to add my friends as a friend OR I need to sign in. Incidently, I have that same problem when I try to favor an lol. "Sign In" when I already am. It all started when they updated the web site. Grrrrr. Frustrating.
Whenever someone close to me moves on, I find it helpful to remember the happy moments that we shared together. My father and brother have both gone on and, since they were both pet people, I find it very comforting to know that all of my late furbabies are being kept company until we are reunited. Actually, so many of my little ones loved to ride, so I suspect that my father and brother have a huge petmobile to cruise Heaven's seats. MJKittyMom's furbabies are on board and I'll bet that my Mamma Lady has taken Gidget under her heavenly wing. Mamma Lady never had puppies, but she raised 6 lovely kittens.
Oh, Dear Heart, I had hoped that this day would be longer in arriving. Although Gidget's time with you was short, I hope that you take comfort in knowing that her life with you was a happy and joyful. I know that she's in Heaven - along with all of our loved ones who have gone before. I'm sure that Heaven has lotsa rolls of Charmin and Angel Soft to keep angel kittehs happy. My heart and thoughts are with you. http://cheezburger.com/View.aspx?aid=3427993344
The TENS isn't a solution, but it does provide a temporary respite and a drug-free alternative. By the by, I've fallen in love with little Gidget. No matter how long she stays on this Earth, I know that her days will be filled with delights and that she'll bring much joy into your household. And love does move mountains. ... Dating myself here, but were you a Gidget fan also? From 70-72, I spent a lot of time riding the waves. And this was back when blue lips were "in" - before wetsuits!
OUCH! It sounds like they ran the full gamut on your right arm. How much function did you regain in the shoulder and wrist? I can empathaize on the bra fastening. Arthritis in my thumbs has had me fastening in front and spinning to the back for several years now. Hey, thank God for helpful hubbies. Just a couple of weeks ago mine was having to bathe and dress me! You might want to reconsider a TENS unit. I'm still experimenting with electrode placement and program settings, but I'm having better results than I did yesterday. And if it provides any level of relief, then it's worth the go, right?
A TENS unit is a battery operated nerve stimulator. As the tech explained it to me, the electrodes emit an electrical pulse that is opposite in charge to the nerve's pain signals. The idea is to cancel the pain signals to the brain. Working wonders on my neck today; tomorrow I move back to the sciatic (or, as Nala08 calls it, my bum-bum). Here's a link if you want to know more - the picture looks exactly like my unit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcutaneous_electrical_nerve_stimulation
