Yup, me too. For the past several months though, all I've been able
to do is slurp down the headers and bodies and then have no time even
to read 'em. So I have monster threads here on my drive, and by the
time I read things it's way too late to answer -- almost like with
this, where I'm about a week out of date 8-} Man, the time simply
shoots past in a spray of frenzied fur.

By the way, I think I probably have just about the whole JNCOBoy
thread variously deposited around the "I can't clean this out because
I haven't read it" caverns of my hard drives...

I'm not so sure about that; can't quite remember where you are in the
year-count, but I know I'm heading down the second half of my '50s and
it's a well-oiled slide to that not-so-distant welcome-mat of the
'60s.

Hang on while I stagger off to get some more Pink Bubbly!

Huggles

I use all three: Sieve (when referring to my mind or brain), Colander (when

leaves or herbs).

I envy you your cats, though I must say I know how heartbreaking it is for
you to see them go.

And I went away last weekend and didn't get back to AGC for a week myself.

Well, we must be close to head&head then. I'll be 57 this coming January.
(And still don't feel much older than 16 --except when I'm feeling a
hundred)

Oh poor boy -- I don't think we should cut him off entirely, he does
need to become acclimatised. Maybe just a teensy smidge of the Pink
Stuff until he's got a little more used to it...?

Ah, I read somewhere else, it's something to do with online gaming,
no? *runs away from time-swallowing monster Yup, Creatures = 2D,
just as Petz = 2D. Wouldn't be the same if they stretched them into
polygonnicles and stuff!
