Hey, I_fling, it worked! I had the old URL, there's no 2 in it any more. Madame Merry does look like a veteran -- I didn't explore tho whether this piece is still offered. It'll be more now than what I shelled out for it mumble mumble years ago. Have read that HopAlong was able to speak to her; figured from the pic/name on website that she (Merry) must still be here.
Frustration does justify cases of the grumpies.
Also any & all assumptions, including the one I made, are too dangerous to be let out.
Far too long off for din-din, as I tend to do for any meal.
Was gonna say & forgot, 2 things.
1) Furrnandina the Queen Mother decided yesterday she could use a bit of adventure. As I opened the inside door to the garage to go likely put something in the garbage can, she bolted out into the garage! Luckily the big door to the outside was down, so all she could do was wander around, mostly under the sound trailer. She did that for 10-15 min until I took a plate of indoor chow to try to tempt her with; worked. Both she & Piiki hunted for a living until they came here, & Furry until we got back from contest to find her & her little ones with the fur & mouse skeletons in the bottom of the 5-gal bucket.
Once the lure was down, she gradually edged toward it until I was able to get hold of her & bring her back in.

Politix tab, ooo. I don't know why anyone would go in there either. I sure wouldn't!
Been transcribing away, also using last yr's directory to copy text from to update, which works fairly well. Still need to delete some folk who didn't renew & add the folk who joined for the first time. Some of those recent adds, unfortunately, will be deleted next year. Were a gal & her daughter who joined last year; mom renewed, but not daughter.
