The Cat’s in the Bag...

After many exhausting shifts guarding the Christmas tree, Bubbles thought she’d take a rest! She was also put off by the hordes of visitors that have a nasty habit of invading her domain at this time of year, and decided enough was enough. She remembered a movie she had watched some time ago, where... Sign in to see full entry.

Twas the Night before Christmas, the New and Improved Version...

We all know C.C. Moore’s poem. It’s been a thorn in the eyes of many a beholder for a long time now, offending them and infringing on their human rights. That’s why I am so grateful to a friend of mine for sending me the new, clean version, which we can all recite joyfully. Mind you, he did slip up... Sign in to see full entry.

Guarding the Christmas Tree...

In one of her posts today, Offy admitted to snooping under the Christmas tree, trying to find out what Santa Claus had delivered there. Now I can fully understand, though cannot condone such behaviour! But knowing a bit about human frailty, much of it from first-hand experience, there are never any... Sign in to see full entry.

Yummy Winter Salad of Beets, Fennel, and Apples, with Stilton and Pecans

I thought it was time for a recipe again. I like salads at any time of year, but especially in winter. I made this one recently and liked it. The recipe is actually Bob Blumer’s, he of ‘Surreal Gourmet’ fame. He’s the guy who tootles around in this big toaster and cooks for all kinds of strange... Sign in to see full entry.

A Special about Matt Damon, the Sexiest Man Alive...

You don't know Matt Damon? Don't worry, neither did I until earlier today, when I read this piece by Scott Feschuk. And after I had read it, I thought I should let Scott tell you about Matt's plans. So here it is: "The first 100 days are considered crucial for anyone taking office. This is... Sign in to see full entry.

Are You a Chatterbot Blogger?

She sent him a photo, and they exchanged passionate emails. Here’s one she wrote to him (and remember,... Sign in to see full entry.

My finicky cat...

Most cats drink from their bowls. Not Bubbles, at least not often. You and I might consider the water fresh when it’s been refilled five minutes earlier – but she thinks it’s stale. She likes her water really fresh, straight from the tap. To that purpose, one of her favourite positions is on the... Sign in to see full entry.

Who Elects our Politicians?

I received this from a friend of mine some time prior to the most recent Canadian election. With an equally momentous event coming up south of our border, I thought I'd warn my American friends to be prepared, since I have no reason whatsoever to believe things to be any different there... Voters...... Sign in to see full entry.
