Subject: RE: I've just hung the Mistletoe at Mudcat! From: TerriM Date: 20 Dec 99 - 06:28 PM I'm worried about a water pistol in case the electric fairy lights go up and I have no idea what a b.b gun is! A picket fence sounds like a good idea however garden centres here ( U.K) don't sell anything that doesn't look like a xmas present this time of year. I think my older cat has declared war on the bow at the top of the tree and the younger is merely cannon fodder.Armistice may be declared should a fish be produced in the near future, however I am clean out of our little scaly friends. Anyone got a fish? |

Subject: RE: I've just hung the Mistletoe at Mudcat! From: Mbo Date: 20 Dec 99 - 02:16 PM My father and I built a cute little white picket fence about a foot and a half high to put around the tree, since our cat likes to hide under it, and play with the ornaments. We got the pickets at Lowe's--they were supposed to be for a garden, and were connected together with wire. We pulled the individuals pickets off, made them a little shorter, and made cross rails to hold them together. Our tree is in a corner, so the fence is 3-sided, and hinged together. It really works! Boo doesn't even try anything with it in place. It's also really festive! --Mbo |

Subject: RE: I've just hung the Mistletoe at Mudcat! From: jeffp Date: 20 Dec 99 - 12:53 PM I've found that a water pistol can be very effective. If you manage to conceal it from the cats, they don't even realize it was you who squirted them. They think the tree itself piddled on them. Yuck, what a concept! Good luck. |
Subject: RE: I've just hung the Mistletoe at Mudcat! From: TerriM Date: 20 Dec 99 - 12:41 PM the little unpleasantness was a small operation from which I am more or less recovered ( and no, it wasn't to retrieve a mistletoe berry... that's another story Gargoyle, I have a cat you can have... well, two actually, you can take your pick. Not very bright but.... well, just not very bright really. How about it, free to good home, or even an indifferent one??? If not, has anyone got any tips about how to discourage cats from climbing a not very stable xmas tree? |
Subject: RE: I've just hung the Mistletoe at Mudcat! From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 20 Dec 99 - 12:38 PM Hey, Gargoyle, I think she's around here somewhere. Maybe a little catnip would bring her over. --seed |
Subject: RE: I've just hung the Mistletoe at Mudcat! From: Dave Swan Date: 20 Dec 99 - 12:22 PM I think it's spuds which are hung at the Mudcat. Mistletoe, a lovely thing, may be attached, affixed, or adhered, but we save hung for spuds. Ask Mickus Maximus. E.S. |

Subject: RE: I've just hung the Mistletoe at Mudcat! From: Liz the Squeak Date: 20 Dec 99 - 10:30 AM Mick, some of us are here in the UK, freezing our little bits off under the clock at Waterloo, waiting for you to keep your date!! LTS,replete with free chocolate bar and a really really BIG bunch of mistletoe - guess who had a good year!! Terri and Micca, you can just shut up now!!! |
Subject: RE: I've just hung the Mistletoe at Mudcat! From: Liz the Squeak Date: 20 Dec 99 - 10:28 AM What was the little unpleasantness then, did the mistletoe berry get stuck up your nose again? And you are getting whatever is left under the tree, because the label fell off your present and we can't sort them out without the phair Phoebe "helping"..... LTS |
Subject: RE: I've just hung the Mistletoe at Mudcat! From: Terri Date: 18 Dec 99 - 12:36 PM Micca and Liz, if you two want to swap secrets on air ( so to speak) I've got one or two the other mud catters would love! So, what you getting me for xmas then :)??? BTW, I am fine, (after yesterdays little unpleasantness)but not very mobile yet, hence hanging around here. Merry Yule all!! |
Subject: RE: I've just hung the Mistletoe at Mudcat! From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 17 Dec 99 - 10:01 PM Hey, is this real romance blooming right here on the Mudcat? And in the Christmas season, no less: best wishes to both of you (or is it all four of you): Mick, Mary, ?, --seed And now that I've tucked you in, Bonnie, maybe I'll just snuggle up for a while... --Uncle Charles |
Subject: RE: I've just hung the Mistletoe at Mudcat! From: SingsIrish Songs Date: 17 Dec 99 - 09:44 PM I just heard a song on the radio whose words I never truly listened to before (probably because I'm not that "into" the Carpenters)...now the words have so much meaning for me and since I haven't the luxury of time to write my own poem, I shall borrow the words that convey my sentiments...
This is for a special someone in my life...yes, a fellow mudcatter who I knew before I became a regular/member here...
This is for you...along with all the kissing you want under the mistletoe. Maybe next Christmas we will share together.
From,
"Your angel"
Merry Christmas Darling
Greeting cards have all been sent
Merry Christmas darling,
Holidays are joyful
The lights on my tree
That I wish you Merry Christmas
The logs on the fire
I've just one wish on this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you |
Subject: RE: I've just hung the Mistletoe at Mudcat! From: Mick Lowe Date: 17 Dec 99 - 08:51 PM I must say I WONDER about some of the replies here.. If you were all over here in the UK and knew what I meant I would say.." What are you guys like????" Instead I shall say .. thank you Áine for the poem and I'm standing under the mistletoe, but alas the major snogging has already been reservedby a very special catter.. Remember a love affair is not only for Christmas.. I'm out of here Mick |

Subject: RE: I've just hung the Mistletoe at Mudcat! From: Mick Lowe Date: 15 Dec 99 - 08:48 PM Having had time to ponder over this particular thread since my last posting and since a smattering of poetry has graced its presence I felt compelled to add this, dedicated to a very special person who not only has contributed to this thread, but seems to be collecting my inane ramblings...

Subject: RE: I've just hung the Mistletoe at Mudcat! From: Mick Lowe Date: 15 Dec 99 - 08:23 PM Is it coincidence or fate or whatever that I've got Cyndi Lauper singing "True Colours" on the cd player as I read this.. I might even bring in a good old Leicestershire saying and say.. "What Are You Lot Like?" I'm glad tho' the mudcat is keeping alive the spirit of Saturnalia (apologies if I spelt that wrong).. i.e the festives before JC was born And so many people to take to task for either not including me or offering their smooches elsewhere... Sometimes it's lonely standing under the mistletoe.. LOL Though I need to say this so bear with me.. MARY.. major detention... And now I'm gone but not without saying, have a great Christmas you lot Mick |

Subject: Lyr Add: THE MISTLETOE BOUGH (Thomas Haynes Bayly) From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 15 Dec 99 - 02:14 PM It could all end in tears - as in Thomas Haynes Bayly's:The Mistletoe Bough
The mistletoe hung in the castle hall,
"I'm weary of dancing now," she cried;
They sought her that night! And they sought her next day!
At length an oak chest, that had long lay hid, In the traditional carol sessions in the pubs of Sheffield, this is a favourite party piece. |

I'm getting senile--and I swear it isn't because of your hairy chest. I had a message half composed in my mind to you first time through, then as I was skimming to see who was in the room the second time, I missed you. Now I'm back just for you (I haven't even looked to see who else might have come into the room since my last round of smooches). C'mon, now, don't go away mad...that's a good girl. Now pucker up---aaah, that was nice. --seed |
