Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE 19 Jan 2011 From: katlaughing Date: 19 Jan 11 - 09:52 PM It can be healing, but you're right about it being painful, too. He had an appendectomy and had a feeding tube down his throat until they sliced open his throat, so I am guessing it needs to be as gentle as possible and, that may be the case for a long while, from Karen has told me. I think he's miserable and, of course, rarin' to go...with no fuel. Who'd ever think of that about Spaw?:-) |

Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE 19 Jan 2011 From: Janie Date: 19 Jan 11 - 10:15 PM Why am I having these weird visions of Spaw playing a home recorded CD of Kat and Sins doing a rendition of Zappa's Catholic Girls? 'Spawser, as you become more coherent and inhabit this plane more fully, you are probably gonna get lots of wonderful cards and messages. None of them will likely be from me, 'cause I never get around to those good intentions. My good intentions tend to get sent up to the moon on a bright night to be bounced back down to the appropriate coordinates on earth. Moonbeams comin' at you every night! |

Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE 19 Jan 2011 From: Ebbie Date: 19 Jan 11 - 10:40 PM All this talk of denizens of the brine made me think of Michael Smith: You have hundreds of miles to go says I Take this fish to the land of the Finn For the Finn woman knows more than I do so fly To the land the blue fireworks burn in Schlep this fish child Across the wild tundra tonight While a pitiless pale moon above Shines on me lighting whale oil And sitting at table And dreaming of someone to love For though reams of Lapland laddies urgin' mergin' Would send me little paper love notes of intent No one could make me consent to dent my virginhood Like someone venting sentimental on a sturgeon would And though I'm just a girl from God knows where Still I'm a dreamer too I've got a fantasy I'd love to share With each and every one of you For sometime now I've had this secret wish Someone would send me a love letter on a fish For a fish and a love letter Just seem to go together The sooner I get my fish wish The better I would say Someone could start out To pour his heart out on a trout I'd read and sigh and then I'd fry it my delish Even when the weather's sunny And it makes the mailbox smell real funny Send me a love letter on a fish Oh I would love to hear from you on one condish That when you pitch your woo you pitch it on a fish It would give me such a thrill To read I love you on each gill Or darlin' on a marlin Things profounder on a flounder If you'd fain complete your pass Don't be crass employ a bass Yeah use that shad for a pad oh I insish Ten million postcards on a school Holy mackerel Batman cool Send me a love letter on a fish Send me a love letter darlin Send me a love letter on a fish Show me that you like me Tuna melt me smelt me pike me Send me a love letter on a fish If you think I'm super Say it with a grouper When you're mushy on a sushi I'm in blish If you want a date Get out your Papermate and Decorate a skate Send me a love letter on a fish I wonder why do I find it so romantic That your stationery hails from mid-Atlantic Why billets-doux upon some shrimp Can make this lady's knees go limp Wanna kiss me in the dark Forty-one cents and a shark Send me some real postal scales just for the halibut Don't leave me languishing on ice like Lillian Gish What I'm sharing here is show your caring On a herring from the Bering Send me a love letter on a fish And though most ladies that you know would go oh ish Send me a love letter Don't use an Irish setter Send me a love letter on a fish And seal it with a kish |

Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE 19 Jan 2011 From: katlaughing Date: 19 Jan 11 - 10:52 PM Love it, Ebbie! Janie..moonbeams...lovely! But, Zappa - me - Catholic? Really? I can see Sins, but oh boy...my dad made us wear orange, though many of his best friends wore green;>) Love the idea of singing together though!! |

Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE 19 Jan 2011 From: Dave'sWife Date: 19 Jan 11 - 11:53 PM I haven't been here in a long while due to my own serious illness but tell 'Spaw that he's beaten me by 1 degree F for the highest fever I've ever had and not died. I had 106 back in 1994 during a bout with Scarlet Fever. Spaw has to beat me at everything, eh? Prayers, hopes and love to both 'Spaw and Karen. I may wind up in hospital myself in a few days if the newer, better, stronger, meaner antibiotic doesn't turn me from Pumpkinhead back to normal. I think it will so I'll try and say high in food threads. Tell him I have a newish cat whose name is Holly and we named her that because when we found her as a kitten she was surviving but hunting and eating Crickets. He should get the joke whilst those under 40 usually look at me sideways like a puppy who has hear a high pitched noise. |

Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE 19 Jan 2011 From: SINSULL Date: 20 Jan 11 - 08:53 AM Come on, kat. It's not my style either but those little plaid skirts and white knee sox will get the old guy's blood flowing. SINS |

Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE 19 Jan 2011 From: GUEST,Tinker at work Date: 20 Jan 11 - 09:12 AM ..... My daughter has a couple of Catholic School Girl uniform skirts in the closet.... I could donate them to the cause.... |

Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE 19 Jan 2011 From: Rapparee Date: 20 Jan 11 - 09:36 AM I could wear a kilt, but the last time I did some Scots nearly kilt me. |

Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE 19 Jan 2011 From: GUEST,999 Date: 20 Jan 11 - 10:19 AM Any idea yet when the ol`fart will be home? |
|
Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE 19 Jan 2011 From: katlaughing Date: 20 Jan 11 - 10:31 AM Not for a while, yet, Bruce. He will be at the acute rehab at least three weeks, then rehab where he will learn how to walk again, get his balance back, eat solid food, etc. Long ways to go, yet. |

Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE 19 Jan 2011 From: olddude Date: 20 Jan 11 - 10:54 AM This machine belongs to Spaw but what I am going to try and do is see if I can get some other notebooks. I was thinking too many of our friends are crashing lately and doing long hospital or rehab stays. It would be nice to have some backup notebooks that we could lend people while they are recovering. Kinda like a library loan. I am not doing it with this machine as it belongs to Spaw but I will try to do something along those lines in the future. Notebooks are expensive and many of our friends don't have access to one when they end up doing the jail time in the hospital. Plus we are all aging sadly and the health problems that go with it are starting to surface way too often here. |

Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE 19 Jan 2011 From: Stilly River Sage Date: 20 Jan 11 - 11:12 AM My university library has laptops for 24-hour loan and they're out all of the time. Even being able to borrow them occasionally for that long period can make work a lot easier. Good idea, Dan! We have a software they use to "wipe" data and reset the computers each time they're returned so data doesn't get left behind, etc. Take care, Pat! Sounds like they're going to make you do some work, but as long as you remember to wear a bathrobe that hospital gown shouldn't be too drafty as you're wandering the halls. I'd think twice about Rapaire's bean and cheese burritos - you don't need to launch yourself on a trajectory following Janie's moonbeams. :) SRS |

Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE 19 Jan 2011 From: Bill D Date: 20 Jan 11 - 11:26 AM moonbeams are lovely...but it's also nice to have an entire nebula in your honor |

Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE 19 Jan 2011 From: olddude Date: 20 Jan 11 - 11:39 AM Great photo Bill, but I wanna keep the old guy down here on earth for a while longer :-) I haven't been insulted in a long time ... we need him back soon. The place is not the same without reading "needle dick" at someone |
|
Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE 19 Jan 2011 From: Rapparee Date: 20 Jan 11 - 02:35 PM Well, if you only need to be insulted I know lots of insults. Just let me know and I'll notify everyone that you have a very, very small pimple that covers your entire male organ. I also know some good ones in languages other than English, Profane, or Obscene, caca del dolphino. |

Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE 19 Jan 2011 From: olddude Date: 20 Jan 11 - 02:50 PM LOL, I would rather you go back to reading moby's dick |

Subject: He Speaks! From: katlaughing Date: 20 Jan 11 - 03:37 PM LOL, thanks for the laughs, fellahs! BillD...beautiful, awesome! And, now, may I have a drum roll? Just after lunch, my cell rang and I heard a familiar voice..sounding stronger than I expected. It was Spaw himself!! He sounded strong because he was using a device over the trach hole. He didn't last for very long...got worn out and the docs came in, so we had to say goodbye, but it was so good to just hear him. Definitely on the mend, slow, very slow, but still in the right direction. He thinks he may be out of that place by the end of next week on to the next as this one is geared towards medical rehab and he's now almost ready for mostly physical rehab. Karen will catch me up on that later. My cell phone quality is not the best, so I missed a lot of what he said, but I know he has been around the room with a walker. Also, he got a little anxious and asked me to let you all know that it may be quite awhile before he gets back on here; he mentioned the amount of energy it takes. I told him he is not to feel ANY pressure from us that we're all here holding the fort, etc. NOT to worry about it. I told him the laptop was for mp3 listening, movie watching, and talking with his family via skype. I think I may have blown it. I thought Karen had already told him about it, but he obviously was "gobsmacked" when he asked me to repeat what I'd said about what you are doing, Dan. And, you, Rapparee. I'll have to tell Karen sorry. She said she'd call me later tonight. Since the docs were there I am guessing I'll have more news about all of that, too. Phew! My heart is a lot happier, now. Lots of Thanks givings being sent up! luvyakat |

Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE - He Speaks! From: gnu Date: 20 Jan 11 - 05:16 PM "It was Spaw himself!!" I have tears in my eyes. I wish I was there to kick him in the nuts and share tears with him. |
|
Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE - He Speaks! From: gnu Date: 20 Jan 11 - 05:25 PM I posted immediately before even reading the whole post kat... "around the room with a walker" A walker? Great news. No problem at all. I am not using a walker yet so I would have no problem catching up to him for a good swift kick in the nuts. Pat... thanks for hangin in there buddy. |
|
Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE - He Speaks! From: Stilly River Sage Date: 20 Jan 11 - 05:31 PM I've just retired a router but I need to give it a test - I'll let you know if this one is still working, and if so, it's easy to set up. SRS |

Nevermind, that was retar.... Ah, lame... Great news, kat... Been too long since the last Reg Boys story and he's had all winter to get all that stuff backed up so I reckon when he does get back there's gonna be more than one monitor blown the heck up... B~ |

Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE - He Speaks! From: Amergin Date: 20 Jan 11 - 06:24 PM Which end was he speaking from? Seriously though...this is wonderful news! Though now the hard part is just staying still enough to get better. |

Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE - He Speaks! From: Stilly River Sage Date: 20 Jan 11 - 06:42 PM "Gobsmacked" is good. This word needs to spend more time in light of day, not only floating around in MOAB-land. :) |

Who touches a hair on yon grey curly pow, dies like a sow!!!!! You do not want to mess with us. SINS, the Protector |

Subject: RE: Catspaw -Working the Plan - UPDATE - He Speaks! From: Little Hawk Date: 20 Jan 11 - 08:37 PM Chongo is very, very happy that his extended whisky binge has helped generate some good healing energy for Spaw.
