You are finally so busted! Do you not remember years ago when you
claimed your cat NEVER got on your kitchen countertops? I
remember teasing you for believing that and told you how she did
but just waited until you left the house. lol No, "she never does
that!" You taught her not to.

Well, I knew better but now you finally admit it. It took a good
while though. hahaha
Cats own the house. They only let you live there as long as you
treat them nice and feed them regularly.

Yeah, Greg tricked me. It did sound like a normal Jill post
though. I even double checked to see if I was posting to the real
Cheri here.

It is easy to "spoof" Jill, she is a motormouth as regards practically everything in her life, the whole archive of her life's doings are here on rfc.

It is easy to spot the real and the fake Cheri (and she is someone I'd never "spoof" anyways)...

This one was funny and not offensive, though. But the ugly Google

I don't find anything funny about posting under someone elses name, the very
fact that someone is doing it instead of owning their own posts full of
drivel is offensive. Period.

I agree. But the cookie jar was funny and homophobic rants are not.

Might be funny to you for someone to forge your name when posting, but not
funny to most adults.

Nonsense! Homophobic rants are just fine. As are long rambling tales of
explicit sexual acts.

Popeye is *always* right, and he frequently does both.

I remember in grade school (musta been first grade, c. 1960 - ish) when "Aunt Jemima" visited us for a school assembly in our tiny rural town. She put on a show and sang ISTR...I cannot remember if she was black, or a white in black face...I suspect that the company had quite a number of "Aunt Jemimas" doing the exact same thing around the country.

Lol...I use the krappy Google Froups posting interface, I thought it would be a simple task for all these experienced Usenetters to see that this post was from me, and not Jill, I am surprised this silly post got even *one* response...

Yes, as you know, we are too. But recently I was pondering on what we would

I used to be a dog person and since we can have dogs in our condo
building was considering another one. However, in dog sitting a
friends dog I came to realize that although I am up and about very
early, I am not dressed early and to let the dog out, I needed to be
dressed and go out with him. So I will stick with cats, litter boxes
are great

I've only had one boring cat, the one before this, she was a fancy
Himalayan Persian, a woman in the building died and there was nobody
to take the cat, so I did. Still she lived to 16 but I can't say I
really grieved when the time came. This one, who was wished on me a
couple of days later is a real madam and calls all the shots around
here

I don't much care for cats. Unfortunately, we have two. I care not for any man or beast that follows me around and schemes to lay down on the ground for the purpose of impeding my travels or will stealthy lay down me behind so as to produce a nasty surprise when stepping away from my joyful work. Joy to alarm in .5 seconds. I won't even mention the damage they do to our walls, furniture, and cabinets. Oops, I just did.

I will admit that cats in boxes are rather amusing. They get in the box and then pop their heads up with an idiotic proud grin on their faces. They just look so dumb. That's pretty much all I can expect to get out of our cats - entertainment of the lowest quality.

I was talking to my neighbor yesterday and the cats just ran out the door. One cat came back in soon after but the other one was just laying by the door when I came back after getting the mail. I know what she wants - me to beg her to come back in so she can ignore me and run away. Instead, I just walked into the house without making eye contact. I sorta was hoping that she'd follow me in but no such luck. When I looked back, the beast was still laying down without a care in the world so I closed the door so she would know that I really meant business. When I opened the door a few seconds later to check if she had decided to come in, she was gone. In the war of wills, the cat has bested me yet again. That's just infuriating.

Now you know why there is a saying that goes "Dogs have masters, cats have
staff."

I never once saw my cat Bucket get up anywhere he shouldn't, but I
knew he checked the counters when we were asleep as in the morning
light from a 15' window over the sink would reflect on the countertop
and there were clear paw prints. Sure they don't do it when you are
present but that likely makes it much more attractive for checking
when you're not.
