Nice pics... cute baby! :-)

[DS1]

10. I didn't know you dated a coal miner

:hide:

[LaurenG]

15. Ooo I had a dream about you and your sweety last night

You were trying to show me how to do something. You had a blue book with tons of pictures in it and were telling me that it was really easy once I knew my way around this project. :shrug:


Oh and he was a cop and he is a republican and he is my ex (did ya notice the marine corp tattoo)husband. :7

[DS1]

23. Yeah, I noticed it

Never felt like wearing that on my sleeve ;)


Interesting dream, lemmie if you figure out what it was

[ThomCat]

88. I'm assuming that the blacked out parts

are an ex-husband and former step-child. :(

It's a nice picture of you and your son though. :)

[LaurenG]

95. The ex and my daughter who would not give me permission to post her picture

on line. Thanks ThomCat. how are you today?

[Haole Girl]

19. Awww

poor Monarch. :-(

[Eurobabe]

20. Here's a picture I took out on my bike ride today...

Summer is in full-swing in Bavaria. Reminds me of a John Keats poem... :)

[Haole Girl]

21. Ooooo

Pretty! I'm envious! It's so hot here. :-(

[Eurobabe]

25. It was one of those days you wish you could bottle

just perfect. high 70s, no humidity. perfect. :D

[Haole Girl]

26. I love days like that...

enjoy! :hi:

[Eurobabe]

37. hey that's a

sexy pic there, you and your new hubby!! ;)

We got married at home in our living room (my 2nd his 1st), only the sheriff and his gun, LOL -- I took some pictures and my husband's head was superimposed on already exposed film :cry: He looked adorable on top of the Rose Window in Notre Dame Cathedral from Paris! :rofl:

[sammythecat]

74. That's beautiful n/t

[DebJ]

83. wow. gorgeous. thanks.

[RainDog]

22. Dashboard confessional

aka The Passion of the Wallace



taken in the parking lot of a grocery store, for your edification.

[Haole Girl]

24. That's funny!

I'm sure there must be some story behind that! lol

[RainDog]

27. don't you think he looks like Mel Gibson?

it's the tibetan sandalwood prayer beads and the mini-egg gourd filled with lavender that gives it that... je ne sais pas... whiff of paganism?

[Haole Girl]

29. I love lavender!

Believe it or not, I have a lavender scented t-shirt I bought in Hawaii.

It smells wonderful!

It's similar to this one:

[RainDog]

I have a lavender... whatever it is

it's a forehead/eye thing. fabric-covered rectangle about 6 inches long that has lavender and something.. not sand... to make it heavy. when I have a headache, it's great to put that over my eyes to block out any light. and the lavender smells fresh and airy, not like perfume or like pain.

I've taken it with me on a long plane flight and it was nice to have b/c of the canned air in the plane.

[Haole Girl]

35. Sounds like a good idea...

I should find me one of those!

[RainDog]

41. got mine at the Farmer's Mkt

every third Sat. or something like that, they also have arts and crafts booths. It has really been useful, strangely.

[AlCzervik]

28. Here is my neighbor cat Blue, i posted a thread about him sometime back, my neighbor kid

was throwing rocks at him, i caught him and hopefully that won't be happening anymore.

On The fence


Checking to make sure neighbor kid isn't around


And finally settling in under my feather grass because he's exhausted.

[Haole Girl]

30. I missed that thread

Looks like an awesome cat! Hope the rest of his life is a happy one. :hi:

[AlCzervik]

31. he seems pretty happy, especially when he's sitting in my chair! I come out every morning

to read the newspaper and who is sitting in my newspaper reading chair--Blue. Needless to say i have to sit in a different because he won't get up.

[Ava]

32. that's a lovely photo

:hi: if course i've yet to be married, lol, but here's one of me -

[Haole Girl]

33. Thank you, Ava!

Hope you are doing well & it's not unbearably hot where you are.
:pals:

[Ava]

34. today it is actually much cooler than it has been

the other day it was 104 outside!

i'm doing well thanks. hope you are too :hug:

[Haole Girl]

36. Wish it would cool off here

99°F, feels Like 103°F. And it's not even the hottest part of the day.

At least my shoulder seems to be healing... I think! :hug:

[Ava]

39. yikes

i'm sorry :( glad to hear your shoulder is healing though. i get to get this splint off my arm in a few weeks so i'm happy about that.

[Haole Girl]

42. I bet you are happy about that

Especially since it's summertime!

[RainDog]

38. two cats, no, three

this cat, above, is terrified of this cat, below. the cat below is smaller, nothing but playful, and plays all the time with my tabby cat (below-er)



I cannot figure out why the calico is so freaked out, but she is and has been ever since the maine coon was found and returned to me after a year of being missing.

oh, and I found out that maine coon cats are unique. they have a "trill" not a meow, bigger paws than reg. cats, a long bushy tail and long hair to keep them warm on cold Maine nights, and, this one, has the sweetest personality I've ever seen in a cat.




this cat has me trained to follow him and either fill his water bowl or let him outside. since the Maine Coon came back, I can't let the cats use the cat door b/c the Maine Coon ran off with the deer last summer.

[Haole Girl]

40. I'd be afraid of that cat, too~

any cat that can run off a deer is worthy of fear and respect! haha! :hi:

[RainDog]

43. I think the Calico opened the door

and made sure the Maine Coon got outside. The calico thought she had gotten rid of the interloper for more than a year, and then she showed up...AGAIN!

when I first adopted the Maine Coon, the calico couldn't stand to be around her. I thought it would get better but it hasn't. the calico comes into a room and looks all around first to make sure miss maine isn't around. Calico will no longer sit on my lap. She will sit on the top of the chair I'm sitting in, but only if I don't try to touch her. I'd be unhappy to live a cat life like that.

[SammyWinstonJack]

44. Riverwalk

[Haole Girl]

[Haole Girl]

52. Did you take that pic?

It's beautiful. :-)

[pokerfan]

55. Yep, the weather wasn't the best

but the fishing was good. And no power boats allowed. Just canoes and kayaks.

[Haole Girl]

58. It's a really good pic...

I wish we had lakes like that near here. Thanks for posting that! :hi:

Chester looks like a sweet cat!

:loveya:

[ThomCat]

89. What is the purpose of that ramp

and how does it work?

Is that for disability access somehow? :shrug:

[Orsino]

94. For de-access, in fact.

It's to keep varmints from drowning in a pool.

[HEyHEY]

48. My buddy, Jon and I last night

And you are not a terrible photographer. :hi:

[leeroysphitz]

71. Lol. Tell THAT to Ellie! :)

:)

[Haole Girl]

72. :-))

If you really don't think you're getting the pics you want, try taking more. My father taught me, "You have to take a lot of photographs to get some good ones." :hi:

[Lorien]

75. Pip hanging in tha hall today:

"hey, don't be lookin' at meh stuff"!

[Haole Girl]

78. Awww

That warmed my heart. Thank you. :-)

[BrklynLiberal]

82. Pip is a real pip!!!

How is Oberon doing...and Puck???

[Lorien]

103. Puck is enjoying her new Cat Cottage:

and Oberon is wishing that they made Maine Coon sized Cat Cottages!



Poor Obie. He'll have to stuff himself in his play tunnel instead:

[bluesbassman]

104. That's a great picture of Oberon!

I'd love to get a Coon Cat. Are they any more trouble than "regular" cats?

[Lorien]

106. Only the fur is a hassle

During shedding season when they look a mess:



Otherwise they are probably easier than other cats. They are too large to jump onto very high spots, and they are generally extremely well behaved and easy to train (mine learned "high five" at an early age and uses it for nearly every request instead of meowing). They're very loyal, and just want to be nearby at all times. They do enjoy being "babied" and need extra reassurance at the vets or during thunderstorms. Maine Coons are also as gentle as can be, and can be trusted with very young children.

There are Maine Coon rescues in most states. A Google search should turn up a few near you. Or try Petfinder.com

[JackBeck]
