DOES THE COMMON COLD MAKE YOU SWEAT? I had an (admittedly 2in/2min) bath yesterday morn and scrubbed quite clean. Now narly 28 hrs later I'm sweating like a swine on heat and smelling like horse trots in an onion factory.
Two nights in a row I've had the same recurrent dream: Of being trapped in an enormous event resembling an indoor sook or fancy dress bazaar crossed witha a trance party rave's pixxie room. With all the techno-shamanic characters such a gathering used to involve (dunno about nowadays, I've not been out "properly" except a couple of times in the last seven years.)
My furries are so funny. I took their lid off to witness their teabox with a double headed robo protruding. I said "Hello! Hello!" and one peered up at me while the other scarpered (if only separating real-life Siamese twins were so easy). Now I've a triple-headed furball grooming itself in the corner. All peacefulness and light. And pretending never to have been naughty...
I caught Itchy mid-magic wand (it is a very narrow cardboard tube) just now and she reversed out all unkempt like a "furry boiled egg" - well the nearest any hamster gets to looking like an egg.
Sometimes I question my ... "sanity"? Whatever it's called... at so glibly throwing in talk of suicide yesterday.
The even t I referred to took place about 14 years ago and I have to tell it (as I said) in my memoirs. And get used to telling it. How else will I cope with having my entire life laid out for everybody to laugh at? I can't really cut it out either - else the resulting story will be so boring NOBODY will want to read it at all...
Wow those evening are drawing in. 4:30 dark already. 3:30 dark within a month.
Sorry I've not too much to say. I'm out of computer time and of cash. So I may not be online again till Monday.
Meanwhile: here's wishing a charming weekend to all.
All the best!

take care dear...be well...keep you in my thoughts...
Gleds, no-one is going to laugh at your memoirs, so tell it how it is. You never know, someone may read your words one day and learn. If that happens it's well worth being laughed at, if anyone would be crass enough to do that.
Sorry about your cold...with the shivering and shaking, sure it's not flu? You take care of yourself now.
Sorry to hear about your cold Gleds. Hopefully it will pass quickly. Your memoirs will be fabulous! Believe in yourself. I am not feeling too good again so changing to "Mad" which covers me for all eventualities.
take care

Hope you are feeling better you sweaty horse!
well our house cat sure didn't befriend our dwarf hamster..
The hamster got 'pawned'. The cat threw the cage off the table and killed our dear hamster.
Colds suck..big time.
I don't think we will laugh at your memoirs, because otherwise we would already be busy laughing wouldn't we?
Laughing at, maybe, but who doesn't have funny episodes in his or her life.
Sorry to hear you're feeling rough Gleds, take care of yourself.
Hope you are feeling better Gleds ... I can only wonder and marvel at how you arrive at such funny descriptions ... swine on heat .... such a comically pungent picture you paint with words *!*
Mousie: mercie beaucoup!
Puss-in-Boots: I think it is a cold-plus-addiction-plus cold house, thanks for the thoughts though...
Mad: I was once mad once... but I sobered up... even this weekend I had cross-intereference on the radio... downloading inconvenient gabbling messages not for all into which details I cannot go har har ;->...
Vi Vi: Better now on Monday morning! Now I've had a PROPER shower at Mother Hubbs' and changed terrible ponging mousepissscented clothes and everything
Arjan: spagging hold of hamster cage bars then throwing cage off table to explode open on floor is a favourite trick of cats. Only properly covered aquaria are a 100% hamster protection against cats...
Re the other point well said and thankyou...
Akelamalu: thanks!
Bimbimbie: "swine on heat" complete with oniony horsetrots is precisely how I felt my dear!! ;->...
Hey Gled, glad to hear that you're feeling better. Chicken Soup- that'll fix ya. ;-)
One day that cat will realize how yummy his little friend is. :P
I hope you are feeling better today! Thanks for the visit.
Whitenoise: I'm not so incredibly keen on chicken soup... the last attempt I tried was Heinz brand... it tastes of salt and sugar and very little else and to be honest I was feeling to ill to bother making my own!
chicken-&-veg cup-a-soup with integral croutons is rather nice though, i must agree. you know the industrial powder one you just swoosh hot water all over and *~* presto! *~* Jewish Mamma's Best miraculously appears a-steaming in a mug b4 U...
No Newz: I was totally wondering exactly the same thing. Especially with the snake one. The serpent is hardly the most emotionally demonstrative of creatures, is it~*???*
I was thinking maybe the cat one would end with a session of over-enthusiastic kitty-play, ... know what I mean...*???*
Sorry to hear that you have a cold. They are so miserable at this time of year as if the dark days and early nightfalls aren't enough to contend with!
Loved the cat and hamster video and your descriptions of your fur family made me chuckle!
Feel better soon!
Thanks - hopefully AM getting better... I HAVE to post about my "Furry Family" as the blog's CALLED "Hamsters and Heroin" and I know people don't wanna hear the gory stuff about heroin so much... know what I mean... many thanxx for the msg, Kahshe!
I'm never, ever laughing when the word "suicide" is used. Never. I don't think anyone is laughing at your life (aka your memoirs). Bad, bad Gleds for thinking so!
Take care, okay?
