How is everyone tonight? I'm kind of depressed; my cat is missing. :-( She's somewhere around 17 -18 years old, she begged for her treats last night at bedtime & then followed me back to the bedrooms, but she didn't come get her treats this AM (They are still on the kitchen floor, she hasn't touched her food, water or litter box all day. DH says it's possible she got out last night when he stepped outside to see if he could see some meteors; butI've looked & looked both inside & out & she's no where around. (We inherited her when DH's aunt died; she's the cat that lived through the fire back in 2011).

will think positive thoughts that she will return
9:03 pm
Nef
thanks, gemini. I do too. I'm just afraid she died somewhere; I just hope it isn't somewhere in the house if she did die
9:04 pm

(((Nef))) hope your cat is okay and just being mysterious and elusive.

I hope you find your kitty, Nef :(
9:21 pm
Nef
thanks, crossy. When I was a kid, I remember we had both a dog & a cat that just "disappeared" when they were old & dying; I worry that she's done that too. Any pet we've had since we were married we've had tout down when they were sick &/or old. I've never had one go die alone since I've been an adult

Oh, sorry, Nef. I hope she comes home soon.

is that a cat with a lisp
11:10 pm
Nef
possibly ru; but my cat doesn't have one.
11:15 pm
mimizodiac
Book Doctor Gwen - yup. Rude. Keeps me off the Chatterbox.
11:16 pm
mimizodiac
would like to participate but guard dogs scare me off
11:18 pm
Nef
mimi, a fair number of people agree. If you notice; chat has been very quiet today; and that whole discussion seems to have started around 3:30 or so.
11:20 pm
mimizodiac
Really too bad. I have been playing for years and have never chatted. It is too bad cause this is a fun game and people generally so friendly. Why does anyone have to be so rude and ornery. I don't get it. This should be fun
11:23 pm
Nef
I agree. It should be fun. She doesn't consider that she's being rude; but no one likes to have someone poke fun at them all the time. :-(
11:24 pm
mimizodiac
Watched the chatter for a long time and often want to retort but what good would that do. I guess it is hard to know what someone means when all we see is a typed message. Just wish I didn't have the fear of being pasted if I try to message. Once posted a clue and got called a troll by MollyL. Not nice at all
11:26 pm
Nef
I think more people should call her on it. I have a couple of times & she seems to avoid me now.
11:27 pm
mimizodiac
Well, maybe she will avoid me now too and I can participate. Ugh. I don't know how you all put up with it really. I mean longevity is worth something but rudeness is worth nothing.
11:29 pm
mimizodiac
I have played since 2008 and rarely finish a puzzle but so what! I have fun and enjoy everyone's comments. Wish negativity would go away
11:30 pm
Nef
And I've been playing since 2005, I don't remember anyone being so rude to others until the last couple of years.
11:31 pm
mimizodiac
yup...so sad. To be called a troll for posting clues is so childish.
11:32 pm
Nef
Or being made fun of for posting about the penalty box or typing errors; or even for spellcheck corrections.
11:33 pm
mimizodiac
I think many are afraid of her...I know i am/was. No more. I don't even know her! Weird how a ghost of someone can instill fear. Yes...poking fun at people. Indicative of one's own self esteem I suppose.
11:36 pm
mimizodiac
wow...got that off my chest. have struggled for months and months and feel better. Think I will start participating!
11:36 pm
mimizodiac
Thanks Nef...
11:38 pm
Naches girl
My final word is se8. I'm sure it's simple but I just don't see it. Any clues?
11:38 pm
Nef
Good, mimi. I don't try to attack her unless she's being rude; I've appreciated her clues, etc. and have tried to be nice to everyone; but I refuse to take someone being mean or rude.
11:41 pm
mimizodiac
Yes...clues are usually pretty good. Just the attitude that goes with it is bothersome. Have a good night
11:42 pm
Nef
Se8 + se + theist 3 letters of the Latin name for Mary + *** Conway (from Carol Burnett's TV show)
11:43 pm
Nef
Sorry, the start of that clue should read "se 8 = se = the first 3..."
11:46 pm
Naches girl
Thanks very much! Got it!
11:46 pm
Nef
WTG, Naches!!! YAY!!!
11:47 pm
mimizodiac
good for you Naches...and just in time!
11:48 pm
Nef
I still have 10 to go; but if I don't finish, I don't care.
11:58 pm
mimizodiac
yay Nef!
