My whole April 1 entry went away because I couldn't upload to Scribbblings and deleted it without thinking. It went where the light goes when you turn off the switch.
I think I wrote about the best April Fools' joke I've pulled off in recent memory. I got the kids good. We were in Georgia, on our way to Orlando. I hit my head really hard on the car as I was getting in. It really hurt and I literally saw stars.
The kids were really concerned, asking "Are you okay?"
I was going to reassure them but then I remembered it was April 1 and so I turned all melodramatic, moaned and groaned and held my head and said no, I didn't think I could on. We'd have to turn around and drive back to New York.
I had the kids going! I couldn't keep a straight face anymore and said "April Fool!" Then we all started laughing.
1. i just purchased a new pet - a seal point siamese kitty. are you a 'cat person'? why or why not?
I am indeed a cat person. I love cats because of their independence and pride in themselves. They will befriend me but not fawn on me. They aren?t messy and don?t drool on me. I love the way they purr or squeeze their eyes shut when they appreciate affection
2. what is your favourite kind of pet to have, or your dream pet? cat, dog, hamster, horse, tiger, dolphin, etc.?
kitty cats
3. do you currently own any pets? if so, please tell us what they are & their names. if not, tell us why you don't own a pet.
I have 2 cats and a dog: Amber (looks like a Maine coon mix), Mouse (a tuxedo), and Buddy (ADD ? a dumb dog)
4. i am thinking about naming my baby kitten 'jimmy wah' after the gay bar owner in the movie "good morning, vietnam." my kids HATE this, but i thought it was cute to have a kitty named jimmy. what is the COOLEST name you've ever heard for a pet?
My son named one of our cats (in Maryland) Paddywhack. That?s pretty cool!
5. my stbx takes his dog to a dog park, where there is a dog named "DOG" (pronounced "dee-oh-gee"). everyone and their dog makes fun of this guy. what is the most idiotic name you've ever heard for a pet?
Well, maybe not idiotic but unusual: Jehosophat & Alyosius
6. ok - seal point siamese kitten. do you have an idea for a name for me, or should i stick with 'jimmy wah'? (i also have a turtle named "suzi wong," btw)
If you like Jimmy Wah I would stick with that.
7. my almost-ex wanted a boxer dog SO badly, and i gave in and we purchased one. the dog hates me and is afraid of me because it knows i cannot stand it. would you get a dog/pet just to please your mate?
TB has turned into a cat lover! If he wanted another dog of his own I would become a dog lover too ... well, at least a dog tolerator ;)
8. would you ever consider owning a 'different' pet, like a tiger or an alligator or some weird flying monkey? why or why not?
No, they are just too weird and many are illegal to own anyway
