The FOUR who taught us about life and learning to cope.

  ...each one of them ruled us in different ways
  ...each one of them taught us about the method of 'self-direction'
  ...each one of them were able to 'put us in our place' on a daily basis.
  ...each one of them mastered the technique of 'conquest via confusion'
  ...each one of them joined our 'family grouping' in strange & mysterious ways

 ....Each One of them bare an eerie resemblance to some of our 'illustrious leaders'
 ....each one of them was fixed / spayed [to promote control of health & well-being]
 HEY !
 ....I think that the 4 of them may hold the answer to stopping:
      the political snarling & sniping personalities in various Official State or National Positions
      the 'need to control through intimidation'
      the 'ignoring' & 'I don't hear YOU' attitudes of too many

OK
 ...Anyone out there qualified to perform the necessary surgical procedures
 ...Anyone out there ready to step up & stand on principles
 ...Anyone out there excited and motivated to 'let them hear your voice'

 ...Anyone out there noticing the proliferation of "Disaster" movies both on TV & in Theater  
 ...Anyone out there joining me in a LOL at all that is happening
 ...Anyone out there filled in the Knowledge that "God IS in His Heaven & ALL will be Right with the world"

So, it  seems that in this household, anyway,  we DID learn much from our 4 Cats.
  AND, add in the 5 Dogs and our small cosmopolitan lifestyle was complete.
All of them are now with God...hopefully, He will notice that " We TRIED, but often No Success."

One great BIG LOL to anyone out there who is, has been, or will be 'living with animals'
...we also had numerous Hamsters, Guinea Pigs, & Birds who taught us 'our place in the "scheme of things"  

Hopes for good results from the extension and extended [to all Home Buyers] Bill
Let's hear it for a Great selling season
May your 30 April deadlines be met AND all binding Contracts closed by 1 July 2010.

It is a bright sunshining day here around Michigan--Go out & gather your warm breezes and memories for those days in Jan. & Feb. 2010 when Some of Us will be in the 'fridge' of Climate Change.  LOL
