Lena is Russian and currently living in Denmark... she is used to cold... although I think she misses the warmth of Turkey which is where she was living when she found the CDR :)

It’s brilliant in here. You can travel the world just by using your computer, phone or tablet :)

I don’t miss my Turkish summers for sure. Though if you move to the mountains or the Black Sea region in summer, and back south/west in winter, living in Turkey is heaven! Climate-wise anyway. :)

If you have cats, don't let them catch, eat, molest, or otherwise mess with it. I don't recall right now what the specific effects are, I don't think they're lethal, but there's definitely something that affects cats (possibly behaviorally) beyond the "natural allure and charm" of a preying mantis.

Ask me how I know...

Is that Anubis?

Good morning! I have one of those “invasive” felines as well! She turned 9 this year... I commonly refer to her as the B:|*# Cat in my head:) VERY strong personality! Hope every one has a good week in store and Happy Monday (it had to be said) [emoji16]

Good morning! I wonder if we're in the same time zone, that's pretty early. Where did you brought it from?

I’m sure same zone.... We lived in Tbilisi, Georgia for two years plus. Lots of stray everything there and we rescued one cute lil furry fuzz ball.

Here’s our “Buddy” taking over the chair...

Is that Anubis?
Yes, it is... The Wielder of Death Breath, himself. When he was little, I wouldn't consent to naming him Anubis unless we could call him something that sounded friendlier. So he goes by Nubi. And he's legitimately about 15 lbs.

The "Sons of Loki" all have very large builds. They each have the frame of at least a 14 or 15 lb. cat. Anubis is one of four sons of Loki. He is from her second litter.

Loki started out feral, and we couldn't get our hands on her to get her spayed until after her second litter. So, out of my herd of cats, six of them live with their mother.

Then a few years later, Loki's offspring adopted a kitten!

In the category of “strange reptiles” - a two-headed copperhead snake was found in the state of Virginia the other day. Both heads are “active”. Might end up in a local zoo.

  • A two-headed snake recently found in Northern Virginia may be sent to a zoo.
  • The two-headed baby Eastern Copperhead was found in Woodbridge last week, the Wildlife Center of Virginia said. A state herpetologist brought the snake to the hospital Thursday for an exam.

(I don't know whether to keep going tomorrow or not. I thought I read a while back that he's going beyond the three days. I guess since he's not here to advise us, I'll just have to keep going )

I know how you feel Yvonne. It looks like Adam truly has deserted us now. We haven’t been invited to party with him at all this year.

He said he didn’t feel like he belonged here any more, turned up to tell us of Jane’s visit and then disappeared.

I just hope he really is OK and happy because I feel very sad that someone who I thought was my (and our) friend has decided to just walk away.

The CDR has been very flat since his disappearance and what he said to Sabine made things seem worse to me not better :(

I feel like I've done something wrong, or said something to offend him. And I'm sure the rest of you take it personally too. Each of us has the freedom to do what we want, to stay or leave, but there's just something off about Adam's leaving.

You’re saying what I am thinking :(
