Well, anyone with this many friends oughta be happy. You are happy right? I mean, I wished it and all. : ) Chip A. |
Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: mousethief Date: 20 Jun 01 - 12:59 PM TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Spaw's condition is addressed in this thread HERE. Alex |
Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: Mountain Dog Date: 20 Jun 01 - 12:55 PM According to Webster's Unabridged, the term for Spaw's offspring should probably be "Spawls", defined as "fragments of stone". Certainly they would qualify, being chips off the old block, eh? |
Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: annamill Date: 20 Jun 01 - 11:53 AM So... how is he? |
Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: katlaughing Date: 20 Jun 01 - 11:50 AM And, here I thought they were SpawSpawned! LOL, nothing yet, except an update from Connie. She says it will be another hour or two and will email as soon as she knows anything. Karen was able to spend the night with him, which is really good, for both of them. |
Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: InOBU Date: 20 Jun 01 - 11:50 AM Well, it is 12 in New York, who knows what time it is in Ohio? One or two hours earlier? We should come up with an appropriate folk song to all play on the CD players around the world... while spaw is under the spell of the wonder drugs, so in his bardo state, he can hear a lovely hum... Something that all mudcatters would have on the shelf, Icelandic folk songs? Sweating it out with all the rest... Larry |

Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: mousethief Date: 20 Jun 01 - 11:26 AM Naem, I think the technical term for spaw kids is "Spawlings". Alex |
Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 20 Jun 01 - 11:22 AM Just called in to check how things are going. Noon in Ohio you say The Hidden Paw* should be in recovery room, kat? That's 5pm in England.

Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: Naemanson Date: 20 Jun 01 - 11:12 AM Here I sit in Washington anxiously watching for news. You're going for the gold Spaw! I know things will turn out for the better so someone (Kat) keep us posted. Thinking of you Spaw, KarenSpaw, and Spawkids. Good luck and blessing on you. |
Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: marty D Date: 20 Jun 01 - 10:43 AM Hey Catspaw, you're one of the best. More than once you've left me speechless and laughing maniacally. Get well guy. marty |
Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: KingBrilliant Date: 20 Jun 01 - 10:30 AM Best of luck & get well soon. Kris |
Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: katlaughing Date: 20 Jun 01 - 10:20 AM No news, yet, phoaks. It's only about 1020a where he is, so they're probably smack dab in the middle of things. He thought, if all went well, they'd probably have him in recovery/ICU around noon his time. I will start a new thread to announce any news, as tihs one is getting long in the tooth. Thanks, everyone, you are all just incredible people. luvyakat |
Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: GUEST,SharonA Date: 20 Jun 01 - 10:13 AM Dontcha hate sitting around in the waiting room... the industrial-strength furniture retains your butt-print for the next fifteen minutes every time you get up to pace the floor... all the magazines are way out of date... everybody's doctor comes in the room except the one you want to hear from... Anybody have any news at all?? How the heck is it going??? |

Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: UB Ed Date: 20 Jun 01 - 09:44 AM How fitting for Spaw to go from the Neil Young Center to the Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery at OSU. The DaVinci looks amazing, and after reading the piece, I feel the old fart will be back here in no time. As Spaw is keenly aware, any minimization of the surgery is helpful. All the best! Kat, any word? Ed |

Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: wysiwyg Date: 20 Jun 01 - 09:20 AM When Kat posts a post-surgical thread I bet the simul-hits will lock up the Cat. Hope she e-mails as well! Maybe she should also post it in the Help forum! *G* ~S~ |

Hope you've picked a good movie to watch when you're feeling better......something cheery.....Schindlers List again?...or perhaps The Last Picture Show. I could always sing you a nice "cheery" Border Ballad...hehehehe |
Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: Les from Hull Date: 20 Jun 01 - 07:04 AM All the best, and hurry back here soon please. Les |
Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: Fibula Mattock Date: 20 Jun 01 - 06:55 AM Spaw, the best of luck and good thoughts to you. I hope the recovery is speedy and painless so you can get right back here where we need you. Make friends with the catheter - you have a lot in common - you both like taking the piss. Fond regards to you and the rest of the Spaw family, Fib. |
Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: InOBU Date: 20 Jun 01 - 06:48 AM I just remembered the speach that Edi Amin gave to the doctors in the documentery... "The most important thing, to be good doctors, is to wash your hands!" This is very good advice, and remember to tell your doctors this. In order to get on your doctors best side, I would say something like, "Oh! One more thing, Edi Amin, a hero of mine, and one hell of a good cook, always said Doctors should wash their hands. So before you go mucking about in my inards, remember what President Amin said, and do wash very very well, and please if you must smoke during the operation, don't flick the ashes into me, that may not be very higenic." Lighting a candle to St. Boomer, as mentioned above, Larry and Genie |

Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: Lin in Kansas Date: 20 Jun 01 - 04:56 AM Pat, your humor was what started me hanging out at the 'Cat...trying to figure out what the hell you were talking about (Neal Young Center, indeed). Holding you and your family in our thoughts. Get better, hear? Karen, strength to you as well. Take care of yourself, too. Lin and John |

Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: Lyndi-loo Date: 20 Jun 01 - 04:26 AM Best of luck ol Spaw. Heaven (or hell) ain't ready for you yet. |
Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: Sourdough Date: 20 Jun 01 - 04:19 AM When I started hanging out at Mudcat, it took me a while to develop a taste for Catspaw's paerticular tastelessness and even longer to admit that in the middle of the crudeness there was cleverness. Then, suddenly, I discovered that I was looking forward to his postings. Arrrrrgh! Catspaw, now that you have been cured, what do *I* do? I am going to have to wait for a while until you can answer. Hurry and get well!!! Sourdough

You were brave and faced all your insecurities before the surgury with outward humor. I hope you had a surgeon with a sense of humor too and I hope you have a speedy recovery. wdyat12 |

Don't let the turkeys get ya down - pluck 'em and fry 'em up Cajun style ;-) There's a candle that's been burning for you here at Moon on the Hill, and our prayers are with you and Karen. We love you, you ole buggah, so you'd best be gettin' better toot-sweet! This place just ain't the same without you around causin' trouble ;-) And Karen, don't let the ole fart get to you -- you know how men are -- if he gets on your nerves too bad, hit him with the bedpan and short-sheet him when the nurses ain't looking!

Subject: RE: BS: Good Thoughts for CATSPAW From: Jeri Date: 19 Jun 01 - 10:11 PM Spaw, my best wishes. You're a big reason why I'm at Mudcat at all. If it weren't for your humor, some of us would take ourselves far too seriously, Some still do, but that's not for your lack of trying. Hope everything goes as smooth as snot, and they don't try to feed you any lime jello afterwards. |
