Any chance of a picture with Mannie as a kitten?
She was four months old when I got her from the shelter so I missed all the little kitten photos. Here's her at 4 months...Zet hated having her touch her and would scoot away from her most of the time.
Wow! Your cat is so cute!!!!! Thanks for sharing.
I LOVE the look on Zettie's face!!
Yeah...she's got her ears on a bit backwards and thinkin' "I don't like that hairball touching me but if I growl I'll get in trouble "....
That is EXACTLY what's written all over her face!!

now that i found my way here we are not going to go to another new place are we ms is great and brian has done us a great favor by creating a special place for us...... anyone think that perhaps we are the problem, not the board and not the server, and certainly not the mods
I REALLY wish everyone would get a grip here and understand that this is not about abandonment, or loyalty, or not appreciating all Brian's done, or 'friendship', or anarchy, or mutiny, or whatever. Plain and simple, this is about not being able to interact with each other in a reasonably timely fashion, under the current (but for a long time now) set of circumstances, and some of us coming to a place where that is more easily accomplished, JUST AS WE'VE ALWAYS DONE.... Nothing more, nothing less. Hope that helps, Audrey...if not, post again and we'll give it another shot!
I agree with all of this. We have posted here a few days just because it's been easier reading and posting here since PM.com moved to a new server. For some of us the alternative is no posting at all. I'm sure many of us over at Maccaspan have thought; "I don't have time for all this waiting, I'll do other things." BjΓΆrn is posting more often now, and maybe that's because it's faster here. No one said anything about jumping the ship when there were hardly any posts at all on Maccaspan. I don't mind posting on two boards, we have done that for a long time already. I don't see how that can be a problem. Why does all the interaction have to take place in the same thread? Maccaspan is still our home, but when it's really slow there, I prefer posting here. Remember what it used to be like?; everybody posting like crazy. On a quiet day there were still 20 pages... I don't think it's necessary to start a new board, Maccaspan is not that bad. It hasn't crashed, it's just having some problems right now. Hopefully it will get better, but if it doesn't I can live with that.

why are men soooo difficult when they are sick. he just told me he hopes i am a better nurse at work than at home cuz i am the crappiest nurse he has met
That's a hell of a thing to say to "Nurse of the Year"!! Did he not get the memo?!?!
apparantly not boy is he a bear
What's he got, Audrey?[size=8] ...besides a bug up his butt, I mean.
unfortunately the good old fashioned flu fortunately i got friends in the right places and have him on Tamiflu already. now i just have to fight with the insurance folks over who is going to truly pay the 100$ for the Rx. and they are supposed to promote preventive care
It's a crazy world. I picked up a prescription today for my baby....'brand' name is Dynacin..typical antibiotic...nothing special and is almost as "old" as penicillin, so the pharmacist told me (same big corporate box that Tina works for ;)). That said, you'd think the price would be "reasonable". Well, we're having a little trouble with our insurance company at the moment : so I paid for the scrip out of pocket.......$47.99. Yep. And THAT was actually the GENERIC of Dynacin, at it's normal cost WITHOUT insurance. So I asked the pharmacist, "Just curious...how much would it have been if you'd filled this with the "brand", non-generic formula?" And I added that if I'd used our insurance, that the co-pay would have been only $15.00, so I've already tripled the price by not using insurance. Ya know what she told me?!?! $200 and something.... (YES, I'M SERIOUS!!) Unbelievable! So, my question for Tina is...........just what exactly are YOU gonna do about these ridiculous prices on pharmaceuticals???

I don't understand how you can't see what this will do to us.

But as you say, what we've always done, is come post here when there was a full crash at the other place.
AND we've come here to post when it's been slow, too....
Now the other place hasn't crashed and there is still posting going on.
Yes, posting IS going on at MS......by ALL of us, I might add! EDITED:I think I may have misunderstood you on this point. You meant that there's still posting going on HERE... And my response would be, yes, cuz MS is still unbearably slow or inaccessible for some of us at various times. And when it's NOT slow or inaccessible, we post there.....just like always...
My main concern is that while the other place is still alive, there are some members who don't feel comfortable posting here, or simply don't come to post here at all.
And that's okay, Eve! As even Brian has acknowledged, it's about "choice"....and I'd also add "respect" for each other's choices! I certainly respect the choices made by others to NOT post here if they so choose, just as I'd ask that my/our choice TO post here be respected.
Don't you think it's sad that they can't benefit from the fast connection and enjoy nice conversations with the rest of us who do come post here?
But they CAN! It's just a simple choice that they're making, and they have every right to make that choice!
Do you catch my drift here? That's all it was about for me...being able to post in ONE board and not fragmented over several. There never was a question of loyalty or "choosing sides" for me.
Yes, of course I get your drift! And I understand that it upsets you, and I'm sorry for that. But once again (and hopefully finally!! ;)) I just don't see this as any kind of big deal. We've always posted here whenever MS was EITHER crashed OR slow enough that it became "virtually inaccessible". This time is no different! REALLY!! Chin up!!

Well Svennie, I was just posting away, and had no idea you were here....but yes, this is exactly the point. So WHO IS "SVENNSGIRL" anyway?!?!?! HMMMMM?!?!?!

I don't understand how you can't see what this will do to us.
Evie, with all due respect, I personally don't agree with the 'absoluteness' of this sentiment (and that's okay for us to disagree, btw! ). But even if it were true, that still shouldn't interfere with the concepts of "choice" and "respect" in my view.
