If you don't know me, reply to this thread, and ask me something.

[bertha katzenengel]

I've made no attempt to get to know "new" folks - folks who aren't even new anymore.

I've been away from DU a lot.

:hi:

[taterguy]

1. What question do you wish people would ask you?

[bertha katzenengel]

3. Hell, anything, I guess. I just don't know the folks who have arrived

in the lounge in the last 4-5 months, and i want to meet them. i guess i should say "tell me something about YOURSELF." but it's all about me. :blush:

[taterguy]

6. What's your favorite Ben Folds song?

[bertha katzenengel]

10. I must confess that I don't think I've ever heard a Ben Folds song.

If I have, I didn't know it.

There was a Ben Folds Five song that I really liked, but I can't remember it.

I'm not much on music other than what I know I like. I need to expand my horizons.

The last popular music I remember really liking was the Cranberries.

2. stupid question..

what are feral cats?

[bertha katzenengel]

4. not a stupid question -- wild domestic cats.

Domestic housecats who have gone wild. Abandoned or lost cats often revert to their natural state - wild. And when they have kittens, those grow up wilder, and their kittens are completely wild.

[Beer Snob-50]

7. Can they then revert back to their domesticated state? nt

[bertha katzenengel]

9. Not the grown ones. It may happen but I've never heard of it. But the kittens --

If you catch them early enough - like 3-4 weeks - and concentrate on them, they can be domesticated.

We have a litter on its way from a semi-feral cat who lives in our home. Her kittens will be fully domesticated because we can handle them every day.

:hi:

[bertha katzenengel]

28. Actually - I lied! I HAVE a former feral/now domestic! (photo)

Her name is Mildred. She was born feral and grew up feral. One day she figured out how to come in the cat door. She gradually stayed longer and longer. She said, "Hey. It's warm in here. And safe. And the food is better. I might learn to like it."

She stayed. And now I am hers. She doesn't let Mrs. V. touch her, but she's all over me. :shrug:

Mildred!

[Beer Snob-50]

31. Mildred looks like she just scarfed down on a critter of some kind.

:D

5. Is bertha katzenengel your real name?

[bertha katzenengel]

12. Nope. Just my wanna-be name. Bertha is my alter ego, and "katzenengel"

is a bit of hubris. It's German for "cats' angel" :blush:

[AllegroRondo]

8. whats your favorite brand of beer?

or other drink of choice?

[bertha katzenengel]

13. Blue Moon Ale.

:9

[AllegroRondo]

15. Excellent!

funny, thats also one of my wife's favorites.

have you tried their Belgian White?

[bertha katzenengel]

18. yeah, that's the one!

couldn't remember the whole name. mmm.

I like it much better on tap than in the bottle, but can't get it unless we go to Mike's American. An hour drive for that restaurant but SO worth it.

11. Did you get the job?

A few months ago, you had a thread regarding what to wear to an interview. How did it go?
Did you wear a pants suit?

[bertha katzenengel]

14. Hi! Thank you, and yes, I did.

Been at the job for a little more than 4 months. I love it.

But I might not be loving it for much longer if I don't get outta here and work. So --

TTFN!

[Connonym]

16. hi!

So what do you think of this weather? (sorry, couldn't think of any other questions) Nice to meet you.

[bertha katzenengel]

19. Hi, Connonym.

Right now it sux. Mrs. V. calls it Dogwood Winter. :shrug:

So beautiful early in the week, now in for a nasty weekend.

:hi:

[Pacifist Patriot]

17. I'm squinting at your avatar...

could you explain it? I'm typically ignorant about such things as I'm usually the most unobservant person around.

[bertha katzenengel]

20. It is the old logo of my hometown, Huntington Beach, CA.

The one in my sig line is the new logo. I don't like it as much.

Old:





New:

[AllegroRondo]

21. Doh! I misread that one!

I thought it was the logo for the Hoffbrau Brewery in Munich.

Hence, my question about your favorite beer.

[bertha katzenengel]

23. Heh heh.

I'm German by heritage, and I know the Germans are supposed to have perfected it, but I don't like German beers. :hide:

[AllegroRondo]

27. Perhaps you just havent tried the right ones?

If you like Blue Moon, I would recommend a good Weizen. Wheat beer thats very light, not bitter, and great for summer. The Germans drink it with a slice of lemon.

[hippywife]

22. I don't really know you

but I lurk here more than I post and I think you seem a really sweet, fun, loveable person.

No questions, just that. :hi:

[bertha katzenengel]

26. you're sweet

:blush:

:hi:
