about crocus

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world"
-Mahatma Gandhi

Hey guys/gals.  This is just an FYI.  I am going through my friends list.  I'm going to be pretty ruthless about it as I am going to be switching to friends only soon.  

 

Don't take it the wrong way if I remove you.  In the past, I've  typically accepted all friends requests.  However, this means that if I want to post things friends only it is pretty much pointless as I have all kinds of folks on my list.  

I'm going to go through my friends list and remove anyone that I haven't spoken with recently or who I really don't have that much in common with.   There are a group of folks on here that love the drama and go poking around other people's profiles looking for it.   And truthfully, if I think that your friends are crazy or one of the drama hounds, I'm probably going to remove you unless we are really tight.  

As I said, it isn't personal so much as I am tired of all the cattiness in here and am going to restrict my GOLO profile and feel this is a good way to do it.  

 Best regards,

OMG Girl you have me laughing over here...just picturing that turtles and turles before him *LOL* That was a GREAT story!!! Dang I needed that Thank You!!! *HUGS* Hope all is going well for you!!!

I kept having that Bugs Bunny episode running through my head with Cecil the Turtle...and Bugs gets mad at the end of the story the Tortoise Beats The Hare...WHAT...The Tortoise...and then the phone calls to each Turtle...one Bugs throws in the water into the turtle's shell after grilling a hotdog and being a good Boy Scout...flashes back to the turtle with a bucket pulling the water out of the shell cussing Bugs out *LOL*

Hey Crocus, I just wanted to pop in and thank you for sharing "a puff away from a pack a day" with me. It's foremost on my mind. Thank you! {{{Hugs}}}

Rewarding myself? That's a brilliant idea! I MUST do that! :D

Hi Crocus ~ My source of organic honey is Harmony Farms Natural Foods located at 5653 Creedmoor Road in Raleigh (27612). Their telephone number is 919-782-0064. They ususally stock two vendors. Good Luck!!!

Thank you for your comment of support. I want to put the past behind me AND let others know that they need to be careful. (((Hugs))) and best wishes to you.

I used to work at a little club called the Empty Glass in Charleston WV - We had specialty drink called a "Flaming A%*hole" - we floated a little 151 on top of several different liqueurs I can't seem to remember.

We snuffed it out before we let customer drink it - the idea was to heat the alcohol for a slightly warm buzz effect.

One excited customer grabbed one before we could snuff it out -and that was the last time we sold those....

Memories...

You cracked me up today girl,i had to tell Prometheus about your jello flames....lol

Have a good night.

Hey hun...I no longer have commenting privileges with blablah so I declined the handshake. Hope you understand.

Thank you for the talk and the birthday wishes. See ya soon!!

I finally escaped when they realized most of the stuff on GOLO was drama. It was bittersweet; I had a work meeting to go to afterward :(

:)

I must have been especially tired,,I usually wake up. I have no idea how 90 pounds of retriever ended up on the bed without waking me up,,and the cat ended up on my shoulder without waking me up,,but the 120 pound male retriever woke me up with his pitiful nose stuck in my back cause he knows he's not supposed to be on my bed

Alas poor Joe...we hardly knew ye.

You may have seen this before - see it again - or for the first time - whatever.....

hey...sorry to hear you were sick..I so was looking forward to meeting you!!! hope you feel better sooN!

"Though my guitar teacher pronounced me a lost cause in guitar playing and I've never looked back."

DEJA VU - got some good money out of 'axe' though...sigh

Crocus,Mike said his roomates and he were still trying towork things out about whether to get a dog or a cat.Good Luck finding a home for the kitty.

Crocus ~ I am delighted that I was integral in your good fortune! Enjoy your yogurt and honey and post me the next time you desire a turn of events. I will see what I can do.:)

"The funny thing was that I brought my ATM card with me for Lollapalooza."

My then future wife and I brought cash - we were looking for something to use for 'herbal' application with flame and purchased the first thing we found since back then such items were rare in NC - walked a little further and found a bazaar of items and immediately had buyers remorse - but we soon got over it.

Jane's Addiction was the incredible awesomeness that I had seen a few months before at a festival seating event in WV. Henry Rollins opened for that show.

Man - what I wouldn't give for a time machine....

So...you didn't make it Saturday night, right??? Hate if you were and I missed talking with you.

man, I hate that. YOU were one of the ones I was asking about...seeing if you were there or not, but hate you were feeling bad.

"Are you a member of Ravelry?"

I know of the site. Several in my knitting class belonged. I still don't feel comfortable displaying my work -- although one of the Barbie dresses did get on our class blog. :-) http://bp2.blogger.com/_momfUP1Z3r8/SAQFFQC_T1I/AAAAAAAAAMY/RH4jZP6--wc/s1600-h/P4020014.JPG

I still consider myself a dependent knitter -- I need help shaping my projects. :-)

The shawl was gorgeous. I have the feeling if I tried something like that it would look like tie-dye.

Oh I love that! I have something similar in a muted green, but the holes are smaller. I have quite a few other shrugs and tops I would love to try my hand at reproducing.

How is your day so far? Hope all is going great! =)

Hope you feel better soon. I think there are several little "bugs" going about now. The one mom had sounds the worse to me, so far. Viper and I have felt out of sorts. I thought it was from my surgery, but when he had similar symptoms, I figured it must be something going about now.

Hope you don't have to re-do the square. I always hated that part, lol. (((hugs)))

Awww that`s a cute little froggy pattern.

Thanks for thinking bout me :)

Hope you are having a good one.

LOL cats are a mess! I love cats and had some when I was growing up, but I am extremely allergic. I don't get the sneezing and stuffy nose like most. Mine is from the dander and if I touch my eyes or a hair gets near my eyes, they swell, turn red, tear up, hurt, and itch really bad. I had to train myself to wash my hands before going near my eyes when cats were in my house, lol.

I would bring the stray in. Sounds like he has really taken to you and wants a friend. =) Be prepared for war at first, lol. Dexter may not take kindly to someone invading his space. Good luck! =)

I am trying to find some links that Beth sent me the other night that may be able to help on the costs of the vaccinations. When I find them, I will post for you.

LOL@ licking out ear wax..yuck! =P

thanks for the handshake thing. Thought we already were,,,guess my allztimers is kicking in,,

Heh, thanks for the tip on the fair. I might just surprise you ya know?

By the way, why aren't we playing on the same server on WoW? What's wrong with us? :-D

I play a Troll Warrior on the Cenarion Circle server. I just hit level 78 last night actually. My guild is a mature group, but not aggressive about doing raids and such all the time, every day. Most of my guildies are parents or people in their late twenties like me. All in all, we're a skilled, but non-pushy group who just enjoy the company. You should consider giving us a try, I'd personally vouch for you and see about getting you membership if interested.

Hey Lady! How are you doing today?

I bez ok. ty

NM was looking out the back door late yesterday and said, 'I sure do miss the old boy.' Talking about Midnight.

Just can't understand why our cats leave. We treat them very well. *sigh*

Hubby gave me good news earlier....seems his workplace may go back full time after the 4th!!!!

I'm not sure how old the kitty is. Her bone structure is still very very small and she still looks kittenish but I'd put her around a year. She's "adjusted" but we have a 18 pd tuxedo cat already and she's had to fit in with him. He's declawed so he can't hurt her but he's a bully around her food. If I am still (sitting on the couch or sleeping in bed)she is right next to me with rubs and purrs. Other times, she's just sooo skittish.

We took her back outside Friday night just to make sure she didn't want to run away. OMG. She clung to my husband and cried as if she were scared to death. She loves being inside.

I wouldn't say your vet is wrong. She may never be the oh so friendly, wrap around your legs while you are cooking dinner kind of kitty. She definitely needs space and slow movements to keep her settled. I told my husband that I thought she might always be like this. He swears not. This is his first time living with cats in his whole life. I think I had one in the crib with me.

Crocus,

In my own experience, and that of others, 2 neutered male cats will almost always learn to peacefully coexist. A male and a female will USUALLY work out. Two females may NEVER learn to live together. (Just like humans, eh?)

We started with one, now we have 7. They’re all friendly. Two pairs are bonded Siamese (4 total). It took a bit of patience to introduce a pair ....

One of ours is a true feral that took me 9 months to touch. He’s my best friend now, but no one else can get close to him.

All our guys are indoor only.

The introduction has to be done VERY carefully to avoid problems that will take a long time to fix. Also, it may cause spraying, with is VERY difficult to cure, if it can be cured ....

Check out this link:

http://cats.about.com/cs/catmanagement101/a/introducecats.htm

Let me know how it goes ....

Send me a safe e-mail link and I’ll send kitty pictures ....

Len (aks STS)

You've got mail ... with kitty pictures ....

Len (aka STS)

My name on the Cenarion Circle server is Highlander. Drop me a message when you get it all set up. I'm usually on in the evenings three or four evenings during the week. I should be on tonight, actually.

GoOd MoRnInG!! Have a blessed day!

Even though its a west coast server, I've never really run into problems with getting a group together. My guild usually has someone on throughout the day. Even still, there's always a fairly large amount of people on this server. It's the most popular RP server I believe.

okay..so I went to Petsmart on Tuesday...the one off of millbrook...and they had the furminator and the shampoo/conditoner and the towel for ...are you ready.....$29.99...woo hoo!!!of course I grabbed it up...I thought of you when i saw it..hahahaha...(HUGS))

"SNAP-NC will not do just vaccinations. :)

I called them yesterday about my stray and they only do vaccinations in conjunction with a spay or neuter."

I was not aware of that, but that was exactly what was done for us. I needed the feral cats I took there to have both done and did not think to see if they just did one of the services. Sorry about passing bad info.

TGIF

Hi Crocus!

Here is a link for low cost rabies - $5.00 per animal. http://www.wakegov.com/pets/events/clinics.htm

I will look into the other for you, shortly.

Hope that link helps.

:-)

Beth

Here is a link I found for FIV low cost for cats. It's $25.00. You'll need to read it closely, but maybe this will help.

http://www.safehavenforcats.org/clinicfees.html

:-)

Beth

I understand what you're saying...... The shelter would NOT call them. I can almost guarantee it. All they want is their $$$!

You're an angel for feeding that kitty! Pleae let me know what route you take! {{hugs}}

Beth

Hi crocus - I just now read your profile, and, well... I think we're the same person. ;) cheers!

Missed seeing you today. Hope you had a great day and have a fantastic weekend. =)

/youareevil

DL'ing the patch now.. what server are you on? Why can't you send $$ to your alt? Did you roll a new toon on a new server? LMK, I'll pop on and say "Hi"... I've been meaning to email you.. We've been half way playing D&D (no campaign, just combat) which is why I haven't chased you down and I've been busy getting my new venture (Phygoo) up and running. It's phygoo.com but we've just got a placeholder up ATM. Essentially it's a wow like world where you can use google/froogle/your browser and all your online activity gives you points that you can use to gear up your avatar or buy stuff for it in the Auction house... It's more wow than wow like :)

Anyhoo.. if you're crocus on x server and you want a noob /w'ing you let me know the details... (I'll be tyrohne, tyrone, tierone, tyerowne, etc...) ;-)

I'm scheduled to lapse my autopay on 6/24 so I have kind of a fail safe if I get back on the pipe again... lol.. I haven't touched it since April...

ohhh... doing yard work atm but I'll pop on this evening...

Hi!!! Hoping you are having a great weekend!!! :D
