I honestly did not expect my story to be nominated, so of course do not expect to win, but still, there's always that slight hope.

Hmm ... didn't manage to write down the 800 #.<BR/><BR/>P.S. I think you're worrying about running afoul of me is what's called projection: maybe a little guilt over your looking in on the neighbors?

A few months ago, the vet asked if my cat Taffy was "lethargic." I requested clarification -- "Do you mean is he sleeping 23 and three quarters hours a day instead of 23 and a half?" At that point, the conversation was cut short when Taffy, who had been a perfect gentleman, must have realized why the vet was searching for a vein in his front leg. Claws flew, I apologized on Taffy's behalf, and the assistant with the big gloves was called in. Lethargy was never clarified.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-59218660081020905152007-05-16T08:23:00.000-04:002007-05-16T08:23:00.000-04:00Fun post, Annette!
