I am so disappointed.

That is so phunny! How many times have I brought something for Allo, thinking he was gonna just LOVE it, and he gives it barely one of these , and walks away never to look at it again

I swear, his fav thing is still an empty paper bag that he hits over on it's side and crawls into.

[mimommy]

- have ye gots the insomnia also?

wide freakign awake, I am....

"Queen Mimmsicle"

Mine would be 30. And that still really doesn't hold any interest for me. Imagine what the 21-year-old man-child would be like.

I had insomnia last night, too. Made work today a living ++++

Queen Mimmsicle--Gah!! Like a creamsicle, only colder.

*I* have my priorities strate, all rite!

We do come first

This is likely what Lyle has been discussing with his fellow house-cats each morning as he regards these little morsels. . . ...

Speaking of Skittle, we have a catnip update.

I bought some today, and, he could not have been less interested. No reaction. Zilch.

Soooooze! Sprinkle it into some hot water and drink it down during nights when you are lying awake staring at the ceiling. Catnip, for many people, really helps with insomnia. True!

One herb that is good for treating insomnia is catnip. For some reason, though, catnip has never been as popular as valerian, even though the two contain similar components that encourage sleep. Nevertheless, it did have its heyday. The English have long enjoyed their afternoon tea, and in pre-Elizabethan times, the beverage of choice was a relaxing cup ofcatnip tea. Times have changed, however, and now a stimulating cup of imported black tea is preferred. But catnip remains one of the favorite herb teas for sending children off to sleep.

Studies conducted in the late 1970s confirmed that catnip is indeed a potent sleep-inducer for humans. Like valerian, catnip calms you without disrupting performance the next day. And it is a plant that you can easily grow yourself. In fact, if you are lucky enough to have your own herb garden, you might already havecatnip in it. Just be sure to protect it from your cats. Catnip and valerian both have the opposite effect on cats and rats as on people

He may not be old enough. I remember hearing that catnip doesn't work as well on kittens.

Did Angus walk 2 miles to come home? I think so! He's smart enough.....still can't believe it but SO glad he is home safe! :wub:

Omigosh!! Poor widdle guy. So glad he made it home.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! Well, I'm 25, so my 'youngest' guy would be 19. Ew.

Double EWWW

But first . . . must do laundry, go grocery shopping, install plant some of me own flowers, make some phone calls . . . would rather go back to bed.

What do you do in yer spare time? (as if!)

Mornin sillies--got nuttin.....pheelin kinda blah. No reason, maybe it's just "Monday".

Are you sad? Blue? Just take that frown and turn it upside down

Um - I thought that was quite scary, and he has a Tiny Tim quality to him. It made my cat come running in.

My hubby used to sing "The Rose" to his persian 'Gippy Joe' and she would come running, jump on him, and put her paw over his mouth--twas very funny.

Who put up the Arse-Kicker quote? Funny!!

Takin' names

[mimommy]

That was without a doubt the most historically hysterically funny typo I've evah made:

I said "hump" instead of "jump".

Gahhh!!!!!

(freudian?)

[tom]

Loved this also - you have NAE lost yer silly!!!!!

Bah it's been gone so long . ....

. .. ..might be inching back now that I've decided to go back to only the same damn basic boring few foods that are safest.

Wanted to try dried spices again, went w/ cumin & just a wee taste made me dizzy for 30min.

Spent some time caught in the stupid trap of "well it's not like I'll feel good tomorrow anyway, so wtf, have a choc bar or some chips" (or "crisps" fer Nikerler)

I do so miss all the LOLing I used to do 'round here.

. .. .. and said he was afraid of me.

*Did* lol a bit there . ..

Penii penne or penne penii??

Why no cannelloni or manicotti?

Hmmmm . .... . ..more Bunnie recipes, anonymous blankies, CIKVEBS!!!!!, whirlybirds, Angus' Journey!, great Star article, Stumpy returns tomorrow!, "Illannoy" (hehe sometimes I say it french - eel-lee-nwah), unpiggy phlue . .. & humannip for insomnia??

hmmm....p'raps I'll add this to me hot milk and brandy.

although, I have, in the past, drank (drunk?) half a bottle of valerian, and multi-tasked ALL NIGHT. Remember, even a double dose of my actual prescribed SLEEPING PILLS do not work, at times.

Maybe catnip IS the answer I"ve been seeking all my life

He may not be old enough. I remember hearing that catnip doesn't work as well on kittens.

he's about 9 months? I'll try it again in a few.......

My hubby used to sing "The Rose" to his persian 'Gippy Joe' and she would come running, jump on him, and put her paw over his mouth--twas very funny.

Um, Mimms, if your husband (or anyone) sang The Rose in my presence, *I* would run over and hump jump him and put my paw over his mouth also :lol:

Hey Rach, how are you feeling today? after no sleep and some hellish day at work? Got any catnip, fer tonight?

That was without a doubt the most historically hysterically funny typo I've evah made:

Did you sills all know that - I used to have lots of energy and ambition and discipline?

Shocking, I know.

Dang, I miss having that kind of stamina and energy and....psychotic focus. I'm just a lazy-ass hag now. Wistfully recalling my former successes, and wishing I had enough interest and energy to throw myself into anything but me friends and loved ones. This includes me Sills.

Nope--I just had to modify. I seem to be fine with greek yogurt, cheese and milk. But not ice cream Tried 3 different brands--no go. When I get me ice cream maker out of storage, I'm gonna try homemade.

I got brave, though and tried tapioca too--that was a bad idea! Tapioca still hates me

M-m-m-m....meatloaf
