That's freaky, not the dog-like cat thing, the fact that I had started typing about me being more of a dog man blah, but decided to delete it. Thanks for addressing that point anyway and glad to see the telepathy is coming on

Growing up, the household pet was a dog, and I personally would not have chosen a cat. That's part of the long story, although that's actually more the comedy side, not the tragic side of the story.

What a shakespearean life you lead. Well I hope it goes well, if all goes to plan perhaps you can tell us the story.

It's going to be a difficult case, today we argue the preliminary injunction. Unless the defendant hired Elmer Fudd for a lawyer, he should be able to shoot us down on the issue of jurisdiction. That’s the hurdle I’m current working on. While my former friend may be subject to the court, Mufasa is considered property and court may not have jurisdiction over him as long as he is in Massachusetts.

Would it help if I ran into the court shouting "This isn't about property, it's about a life! That cat has rights too!" it's worked in at least 7 films I've seen.

No, ok go with plan A.

We went with another play, we amended the complaint and charged the defendant with forcible entry and detainer, and changed the filing in a manner that held the subject Kitty under the courts jurisdiction.

The other side was not prepared to defend that move.

My Ex-friend has been ordered to surrender subject kitty prior to Monday 5:00pm.

Well done mate! The Law is strange beast, the facts and circumstances are the same but choose the wrong angle and it's all over before it begins.

My friend Mufasa was returned ahead of schedule. He was looking a little thin but is doing fine.

From the last roll of developed film. These are some of Maxwatt roots that he sent to me this past summer. The inside of the plastic bag was wet I picked it up from the post office, so I washed and dried the roots on Carols deck. I later sliced and made many batches of tea base with these roots.

Hmm, can't remember, I think it might have been the Prognosis thread where I spoke about the early Christmas tree shots even before the leaves had fallen.

Yeah, the end of October, I wrote "On a lighter note, although certainly not a good sign, Carol asked me for a picture so that she could send to her Sons and Daughter, so we took a picture. I was a little uncomfortable about the picture. Now, keep in mind, Carol has done this whole terminal end of life thing before, she’s the pro, I’m the amueture. Well she had me pose in front of her Christmas tree, and you know, not only is there no snow on the ground but the leaves aren’t even all off the trees yet. I don’t know what message that sends. Should I be happy that she didn’t have me pose by a Thanksgiving Turkey?"

Hi chap

It looks like it could have the caption "Bill cheats death and (literally) shrugs off Christmas". Hope you're bearing up ok.

Oh and that bunny suit you ordered is just in ...

In Loving Memory of My Mother.

My Mom passed away late August last year of cancer. Today would have been her birthday so I wanted to write a few lines, but instead I’m posting the words that were spoken at her funeral from her Chaplain Sandra Lucas who worked at Mount St. Joseph nursing home where my mother resided for many years. It was clear that Ms. Lucas really knew my mother well and I will never forget the speech she gave that day.


When I think of Janice the song “I did it my way” by Frank Sinatra comes to mind. Janice certainly did things her way. And she did it with gusto, determination, and passion. She was strong-willed and she was a fighter. Right up to the end, she didn’t give up. Right to the end she did it her way.

Janice called me her spiritual counselor. She and I would meet every Friday at 1:00. Sometimes at the smoking table outside, sometimes in the Morning Glory Café. Janice had a deep faith in God. Every day she would read from the “Daily Word,” a collection of reflections for the day. When she was in the hospital, she’d ask people to bring her her “Daily Word.” She would think about it and tell me what words had given her hope. She liked the saying “With God, all things are possible.” At times, she would lose hope and feel discouraged or she’d be roaring mad at everyone; but she would always get back her positive outlook and feel hopeful. And she would help others to feel that hope as well.

She could tell when you were down or discouraged and she would be there for you - her family, her friends at Mount St. Joseph, her friends in town, the staff. “What’s going on with you?” she would say. She loved giving hugs and joking with the staff She knew how to lift your spirits when you were down. When I visited her at hospital, I loved seeing her interactions with the nursing staff Janice would give it to them and they would give it right back and she loved it.

Janice. She was caring, strong, feisty, and unpredictable. She could love you one minute and be mad at you the next. Just when you thought you had the routine down, she’d change the routine. Life knocked her down a few times, some would say many times, but she was always got back up fighting. And she loved to dance. In the café, she told us how she’d love to go dancing and wear hot pants and a halter top. “I was quite the number,” she said. And she was - quite the number - a number and a person we’ll never ever forget. She did it her way – and she did it so well.

To close, I’ll read - not sing - these words from “I Did It My Way.”
“I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried
I had my fill, my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way.
Oh no, oh no not me,
I did it my way.”

The song “I did it my way” was in fact one of my mother’s favorite songs, but as far as for performance goes; Frank Sinatra was not her favorite version of it. From her favorite Artist who sang that song, I have provided her favorite version of it below, from his very last concert.

Thanks for sharing Carol's Dashboard and your mate's jacket with us

Genuinely good to see Mufasa back where he belongs, your going to have to get those supplements tucked away now though, although there are worse things than an immortal cat.

These next 6 pics have already been posted in the prognosis thread.

Here is a pic a about 2 and a half 3 months ago. You should be able to see some redish blotches on my back.

That’s the outline of my tumor, now if you can imagine what it looks like in there for a moment. Surrounding some of my vital organs, heart, lungs, tangled around main veins and choking off my esophagus.

Now, about 3 weeks or so later we took a few more shots. Note, we are past red and into a more purple bruising color.
