I went to sleep about 12 hours ago, then cat woke me up after 10 minutes and I was refreshed. The cats pulling out it's hair at the moment, on my bed, now he's looking at me funny as I type about him? Have to go give him a kiss. The cat sleeps with me in winter and sleeps outsides its owner's door in summer (which is why he sleeps with me, doesn't like the cold). He hasn't attacked yet this year, last year on one day I bled for hours (I think it's cute when he sinks his teeth and claws in, till I see the blood). I stayed up late for the indy car race last night and the Formula 1 on sunday night. I was supposed to fix niece's computer on monday but they went out leaving me ringing every 1/2 hour all day instead of sleeping (it's wednesday now). -- ---------------------------------------------------------- And the band played .... http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/05/14/1084289883713.html "Ramesh [MVP]" <ramesh@nojunkmails.com@mvps.org> wrote in message news:%234UiycnQEHA.1348@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl...
