I agree, it is always a hazard for cats outdoors. An acquaintance here was walking her small dog when an owl tried to grab it for lunch. She actually fought with the owl for her dog! My cat was out on

I've also instituted a "don't post on that forum unless it pertains to you" rule. Therefore, threads about UB (as opposed to RUB) are hastily scanned for guns and/or pie and then passed on.

Still lurking quite a bit though. Just don't have as much time to post anymore. I will do my best to spice RUB back up for you, T-#######.

did someone say guns and pie? :)

Exactly.

And in honor of the hot weather we've been having (thank you Al Gore) I suggest we add ice cream to the pie theme. Recently I've been scarfing down some black raspberry dark chocolate chunk. Mmm mmmmm mmmmmmmm.

Double post!

But at least it's not a European DP!

I got a job!!! as an ESL teacher, which is very exciting, but takes away a lot of my free time. I also do translations to/from Russian and Ukrainian.

I still scan through threads here, but I don't post as much as I used to.

I have no idea what happened to Gary & Kip, it would be nice to know.

Congratulations, si man! :)

Gary's silence is beginning to become worrisome. Kip may or may not have had correction applied to some immoderation. I hope that all will be well, si man.

Didn't Gary say something about going to THE Ukraine for a few weeks?

And Kip, yeah, he probably got sent to the principal's office. Either that or the union hall made him head back out to the slope now that the weather's lifted.

I changed jobs as well, so not as much time to kill surfing the Interwebs. I just pop in every once in a while to see if a new s#$%storm has erupted....it's sadly been quite disappointing lately.

Wife's visa journey:

03/19/07: Initial mailing of I-129F.

07/07/11: U.S. Citizenship approved and Oath Ceremony!

MIL's visa journey:

07/26/11: Initial mailing of I-130.

05/22/12: Interview passed!

Maybe we should encourage the "ladies of CABA" to stop by?

Oh, there's been plenty of threads about heartbroken people and a 19 year old who was going to move to South Africa with her Nigerian boyfriend. Good times.
