But feel free to use them. I am pleased you like them!

They still blink, you just have to look hard

If there is a Mod who can change my avi - can you do that for me?  Brandi made me a new one and I am too stoopid to figure it out - I actually did try?  Thanks in advance - Caddy

I'll email Klaas to ask her to change it for you

Good Morning JSM Monkey friends...I want to update everyone on Oscar.  Radiologist report is in - good news - nothing too serious.  Possible allergies or asthma.  He is doing fine today and we aren't going to treat him at this time.  I will just keep a close watch.  Thank you all for being here for us - it really meant so much to me.   

Special prayers for all JSM Monks in need.  Sister, you are in my heart and prayers.  I hope Mom has speedy recovery. 

Have a great day everyone.

NG - So glad that Oscar is doing better - give her a pet from the Criminal and Chubbie!

Ah..where I am is under seige from the rains and wind.  Flooding everywhere with roads closed.  My family and grandchildren are here, they were either able to come home or school was canceled..but some schools closed earlier today..and by closed I mean during school they said they were closing but all children needed to remain in school..no bus service..the flooding is that bad.  I am praying for those little children having to spend the night at school..safe and sound with their friends and teachers..but I am sure afraid since this is not the norm...even in bad snow storms the children either don't go to school or get released early. Today the flooding was so bad they had to remain at school.

I am praying for all families that can not be togather tonight ..peace be with them.

where are you located at Gypsy? those little kids must be confused that they can't come home..imagine how the parents must feel that they can't get to their children...

BabKats..so glad that Callie made her journey home!

TBM...hope your day tomorrow will be better...xxxx

Hi everyone else!

I am located in south central PA.  The schools that had to close yesterday afternoon were in the Hershey/ Harrisburg area.  It was a first that they had to remain in there overnight. Parents could try to come get them, but they advised against it last night.. they were not running the school buses and the high school students who drove were not allowed to drive from the school property.  That was a precaution.  I think it was best they erred on the safe side of things when it comes to the safety of the children.  Many schools and armorys are being used as evacuation centers.

Right now they are evacuating areas of Harrisburg along the river..been watching it on TV..they are stopping all transit service between 5 and 6 pm tonight.  They are asking downtown businesses..bars and restaurants to close by 5 pm..the last thing they need is a bunch of drunks trying to swim in the Susquehanna river during this flood.

The flooding is really bad in Hershey, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Lebebnon, anywhere in the general area area with creeks and rivers....and our creeks are usually more like a river then what one thinks of as creeks.  Some bison at Hershey XZoo died due to drowning.

Parts of York and Adams county are flooded..all schools and most government offices are closed.  Rivers and creeks are cresting at as much as 21 feet above flood stage...and they think they will continue to rise until Saturday evening in my area.  I am safe and sound on high ground...not any closer then 3 miles to a creek..which by the way has flooded out that area, roads and the bridges crossing it have dissappeared below the water.  Glad I live on high ground..and knock on wood no roof leaks or basement leaks yet.

I am really tired of this rain.

    Wow Gypsy that is horrible!! Thankfully you live on high ground, prayers for those in the path of the floods. I hope it stops raining soon.

[joesamas mama]

Sending out prayers for Sister's Mom.    Please let us know how she's doing.  It's good you are accompanying her to the doctor's and that she's going today. 

Such crazy weather these days!  I'm sorry you've had so much rain GypsyDD.  I hope you and your family & friends stay safe.  We are in an extreme drought right now in Texas, and there's no rain in sight.  The fires have been awful   

  Hi Muffy, the fires are awful. I hope you aren't anywhere near them.

TBM - So sorry to hear about your kitty.  That is so hard to explain to a child.  We had to put our cat down many years ago when the kids were very small.  I didn't try to explain, I just said she got sick and passed on to heaven.  I had originally told the vet to just keep her and dispose of her as I didn't wish to put the kids through a burial.  Well, of course, they didn't understand why we were not burying her, and what was the vet going to do with her?  I decided that it would be best to bury her, meaning that would be easier to explain than what he was going to do with her.  I called hubs at work and told him he had to stop on his way home from work and pick up the deceased cat.  Our vet was real sweet - he had her nicely contained for us.  Oh well, they couldn't just let Dad bury her...they had to draw and color all over her "coffin" (cardboard box) and then Daddy got to bury her.  He was in a hurry - had a ball game or something non-important - and I told him he had to bury the cat with the children.  He was really impatient as the team waited for him...

While they went down in the woods to select a proper place that all 3 kids could agree on, a summer lightning storm came up.  There he stood with 3 small tykes, everyone crying, and he has a shovel in a lightning storm - wondering if he is going to get electrocuted!!

The kids are grown now (or so they think), they know the real reason she passed on, and we can chuckle at the funeral of DooDoo.  Yes, her name was DooDoo because she had an issue...

I know you are not in a silly mood, that you are grieving, but think of all the sweet memories of your precious pet...  Cad and Chubs

Those are wonderful Brandi!!!

We finally made it to the coast...hubs has been working and I have been "spring cleaning"...washing bedding, doing baseboards, playing on the computer...

I am sorry that so many folks are still having the horrible weather, flooding, fires, etc.  The gulf coast weather is so nice, after the storm.  Luckily I don't think there was much damage to property.  I did find out that a young person from our community back home got caught up in the rip current last week down here and I am not sure if his body has been recovered.  It is just too much to think about for me.  So tragic and prayers for his family.

We must all be conscious of what Mother Nature can do...wind, fire, storms, lightning, floods...hope all the monkeys are safe and blessed.  I am counting my blessings right now...

The Mods can't do it only Admin has the ability to go into others profiles.  I fixed it for you!  You look ready for fall!

for the loss of Doo Doo... Sorry Caddy, but when I read this I was about to cry, then I got to the name of the cat and I broke out in a giggle fit.

[BabsKats]

Thanks again Brandi, we just love it....I showed Callie and she gave me her blinky eyes and a beautiful purr!

The name we originally gave her was Zuki.  then it got to be Zuki Duki.  Then we just called her DooDoo.

What a great story. Our vet is wonderful and is going to cremate her for us. So I can bring the container home. I told the little one that she was ill and the doctor could not fix her so she died. He seems good with it but I am sure I will get questions. Thanks for the happy memory.

Glad you made it safely. Prayers for the young person that got caught in the rip current and prayers for all that are in the path of storms, fires, etc. I was without power for a few hours the other night, I can't imagine how all the monkeys that were without power for days managed.
