Owned by a cat? You'll enjoy this...

The fact that you still have one of those on your desk is more frightening.

Nice kitty cats...

Those cat pics are great. Thanks for posting them. Maybe there is something to cats and electronics. I love them, too.

A guy in the Picaxe forum, by accident, might have invented the ultimate electronic cat toy. He was playing with an inexpensive stepper motor for his students. He taped a little flag to the shaft.

The pictures show the result:

If you're frightened buy an antique using an antique, you better leave, NOW. Jim was there the day they invented dirt.

Ever listen to Bruce Williams

on the radio? Years ago I heard some caller ask him, "How old are you?," to which he replied, "I'm older than dirt!"

They love to lie on plastic placemats, too. And they like to get into my synthetic-fabric backpack.

Monty likes to sleep on my pajama bottoms when I discard them at bedtime.

There's an image I didn't need... ;-)

No, I haven't, but I'll check it out the next time WSM is streaming some NASCAR crap. I swear, listening to a car race on the radio is worse than listening to paint dry.

BTW, Jim Thompson has made the same "I'm older than dirt!" claim, many times. :)

Hmm... surely we should start a Wikipedia page for him one of these days?

Hopefully he's recovering well after his hip replacement...

What\'s wrong with a cat sleeping on PJ bottoms? ;)

Or talk about him while he's gone! ;-)

Yes. My dad is having a lot of trouble with one of his hips, but he doesn't seem to be interested in having the surgery.

Just got home. Not quite the picnic portrayed, but I can walk... still in pain :-(

My mom had a hip replaced about 15-20 years ago. Ever since, one leg has been 1/2" or 3/4" longer than the other, and she needs shoes altered to have different sole thicknesses in order to compensate.

Hope your operation came out better.

p.s. thanks for sharing the cartoon!

Everything seems to be length matched. I'm just suffering from bruising, etc, from hammering the joint in place.

Jim! It takes time to heal, when you're older than dirt!!! ;-)

Glad it went well for you. :)

Welcome back. Can't believe you picked a hospital without news server access :-)

Keep it moving anyway - it will work better in the long run if you keep up with any physical therapy - range of motion stuff early and often.

....And glad to have you back.

Cats, coffee, chocolate...vices to live by

They always say it\'ll be a "little sore" for a while, LOL. I had a double hernia repaired a few years ago and that\'s what they told me. Good thing I believed them, otherwise it would have hurt a lot more than I thought it did. Anyway, heal.
