Anyway, it's nice to know that someone thinks my English is perfect. I can barely order a beer in German. For some reason I flashed on the "water" scene in Walkabout! Wakeup: "Beer. Drink. We want beer to drink. You must understand! Anyone can understand that. We want beer. I can't make it any simpler. Beer. To drink. The beer keg has dried up. Where do they keep the beer?" ;D

That's about it. Actually, just saying 'Bier' would probably get you something, but you can't be picky.

No apologies necessary. A lot of Germans wouldn't know it, I think. I speak 1.5 languages, English being my first. Or, American, that is. I hail from the great 48. Plus two. I tell people I'm over here because I mistakenly took the wrong bus. Most reactions to that are like 'Huh?' - got to keep it fun. Anyway, it's nice to know that someone thinks my English is perfect. I can barely order a beer in German. Me and my as-sumptions! So you're actually American! No wonder your English is perfect! ;D My dad was actually born in Germany so could speak German, but moved to the UK when he was still young. I tell people I'm over here because I mistakenly took the wrong bus. Oh, and Donny presented me with that furball he was saving, this morning! BTW, I had to put a dash in assumptions to avoid being censored! (Presumably because of the as-s part! ) When I previewed my post it came up as disagreeumptions!

I'm sure Donny and Teazer would have a fun time together, Eliie on the other hand, NOT! LOL! She's a testy one!! Hairballs just come with the cats. I have a special hairball mixture that we buy to help that along. But they are never fun to find, in the dark, underfoot! EWE! I had to laugh when I saw Wake-up's "took the wrong bus" Komment. Yes, he does have perfect English having met him personally, on both coasts, Atlantic and Pacific!

Yep, furballs are yucky Smiley! It doesn't help that Donny is longhaired. Also he leaves tufts of fur on the carpet and if I don't pick them up in time he eats them so I'm sure that doesn't help! I liked Wakeup's bus comment too! ;D

Pfff! Perfect is as perfect does - and believe me, I'm far from perfect at anything. But I appreciate the nice comments. Been a long time, Smiles. We need a new coast to meet up at. Adriatic? North Sea? The world is wide open. All it takes is the proper bus fare.

LOL.. that's a Hefty AIR-BUS faire, WAKEUP!!!! I'll have to do a little better at my new job to afford that. Hopefully in the near future. I have to pay for the kids college tuition's first. The Teazer kitty just took another hit out of my tuition fund with her antics. She and a dog got into it and she lost. Two big bite wounds on her side which took us to the Emergency Vet on a Sunday. Big Bucks!

Smiley, what a horrible coincidence - Skye was attacked by a pit bull terrier on Sunday. I was at my Mother's when it happened, but apparently, if it hadn't been for two men passing by who managed to pull the dog off, Skye would have been a goner. Remarkably she only has two small cuts to her neck. Hope Teazer recovers soon

Smiley and Powerman, I'm sorry to hear of Teazer and Skye's awful encounters with the canine kind! I know you took a terrible hit to the wallet too Smiley ! I hope for the speediest recoveries for them both!

Powerman, Smiley - it's a strange coincidence that Donny also had to see an emergency vet on Sunday after developing an abcess in his stitches I really can sympathise with you both as Donny has been really poorly lately too. I hope Teazer and Skye get well as soon as possible - Donny sends kitty kisses and get well wishes to both! - For Teazer: For Skye:

Here is Donny after his bath on Sunday - surprising how much smaller he looks when wet! And here he is drying off and looking quite peeved - possibly the most unflattering photo I've ever taken of him!

Dear Powerman and Sleepy, I pray your sweet, furry babies are healed soon. I'm so sorry that each of our pets has had to go through such difficult times. My Teazer and Dusty are getting better, I hope Skye and Donny are doing better as well. XXXXXX =^..^= Donny [˚o˚] Skye

Thanks Smiley, Donny is doing much better now! I hope Skye is feeling better too, and I'm glad that Teazer and Dusty are improving! I still think it's a weird coincidence that all our pets were poorly at the same time!
