Marie-Louise Edwards forwarded a fractured foreignism from a hotel in Paris:

Cultivate a different art of life to make your life being be our purpose. On this subject, the colors harmony gives a very chic parisian charm, an invitation to relaxation an dreams, particularly in our romms who will provide to you the most marrowy comfort. To make your trip to Paris one of the most unforgivable moment of your life.

She says her sister has booked in for a visit shortly. I hope that she will find the romms to be as marrowy as advertised. - Sic! http://www.worldwidewords.org 2008Jan19

Kitten, dear kitten, oh where might you be
Curled on the sofa, or climbing a tree?

prayer request

Bobbi Anderson, loving wife of SK Bill Anderson, our dear sister in Christ, friend, catechist, spiritual guide and mentor, has begun a battle with Lung Cancer. She has already begun radiation treatments on the lesions in her brain.

from her husband:

Fellow Knights, I would like to request your prayers for my wife Bobbie whom
most of you know. She has been diagnosed with Lung Cancer which has also gotten
into her brain. She has been in Piedmont Hospital since the 26th. after having a Biopsy done her lung collapsed. She has been on a suction which draws out the air from outside her lung. Hopefully they can remove this tomorrow (Wednesday) and she can come home. She has had 2 radiation treatments for the Cancer in her Brain
and will have 8 more in the next 4 or 5 days. The Drs. believe this clear up the Cancer in her brain and they can then start Chemotherapy for lungs. She is in good spirits even though the prognosis is not real good. Please pray for her and me and our whole family

New Year's resolutions for the feline

• My human will never let me eat her pet hamster, and I will be at peace with that.

  
  

• I will not puff my entire body to twice its size for no reason after my human has finished watching a horror movie.

  
  

• I will not use the bathtub to store live mice for late-night snacks.

  
  

• I will not perch on my human's chest in the middle of the night and stare into her eyes until she wakes up.

  
  

• I will not assume the patio door is open when I race outside to chase leaves.

  
  

• I will not play "dead cat on the stairs" while people are trying to bring in groceries or laundry, or else one of these days, it will really come true.

  
  

• If I MUST claw my human, I will not do it in such a fashion that the scars resemble a botched suicide attempt.

  
  

• I will not drag the magnets (and the papers they are holding up) off of the refrigerator and then bat them underneath it so that they adhere to the underside.

  
  

• Screaming at the can of food will not make it open itself.

  
  

• When it rains, it will be raining on all sides of the house. It is not necessary to check every door.

  
  

• I will learn to relax at the vet's office so they will start writing things in my records like "Good Kitty" and "Sweet Kitty" instead of the stuff that's there now like "MEAN!!" "BITES!!!" and "GET HELP!!!!!"

  
  

• I will not be miffed at my human all day and then kiss her on the nose at 2:00 a.m. to tell her that she is forgiven and can now pet me.

New Year's resolutions for the canine

• I will stop trying to find the few remaining clean pieces of carpet in the house when I am about to throw up.

  
  

• I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc.

  
  

• I will not chew my human's toothbrush and not tell them.

  
  

• When in the car, I will not insist on having the window rolled down when it's raining outside.

  
  

• I will not bark each time I hear a door bell on TV.

  
  

• I will not walk under the big dog when he is peeing.

  
  

• I will not steal Mom's underwear and dance all over the back yard with it.

  
  

• I will not play tug-o'-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.

  
  

• I will remember my head does not belong in the refrigerator.

  
  

• I will not bite the officer's hand when he reaches in for Mom's driver's license and car registration.

  
  

• I will remember the garbage collector is NOT stealing our stuff.

  
  

• I must shake the rainwater out of my fur BEFORE entering the house.
