Move to higher ground, Bill, quick!! Or, well, lezsee, name, huh? Well, it's gotta be a boy name if'n it's el ninO, so howzzabout Clinton's Willie no, that won't do...er, Shrub off the Old Bush? No? Oh, how about Valentino?!

Really, I am sorry to hear about your troubles and I hope you are able to get them worked out, soon!

Some spillover stress we just can't avoid. Sad to report my sister lost her old cat, today. They stopped about an hour from home, at a rest area, when the cat slipped out of the car. They didn't see her, were gone five minutes and she was nowhere in sight. They and some very nice strangers looked all over for her for over 4 hours. We drove up and looked, called Metro and put up notices.

Lady Joy was almost blind, arthritic, and about 13yrs old. She was a very special cat, having saved my sister's life at least twice. I tried all of my usual visualisations and could get nothing but blankness. Practical stuff, so far, has not helped, either. So we had more stress with lots of tears, but this kind I can handle. Puir mog and puir sister. I just hope she has passed away and is not shivering somewhere, scared and hungry. She was one of those who seems to be a wise old soul, so I hope she just knew if it was her time to go.

Thanks for listening.
