Since there are only 20 minutes until 2007 in my time zone, I'll report back from 2007 to everyone who isn't sharing the same time zone and say what's it like in 2007. Any questions about the changes in the world shall be answered. :biggrin:

I never had collards until I started consulting in the south in the 1980s, but we had beet greens, turnip greens, spinach, Swiss chard, etc. Collards just filled in one more niche. Some greens, like spinach and Swiss chard seem to need cold weather to develop some real character, though. Love 'em!

Much better than I was for Christmas. It's the gift that keeps on giving apparently. Now I just wake up in the middle of the night hot and sweaty, though there are a lot better ways to accomplish getting hot and sweaty in bed than a virus (and better ways to lose all the weight gained during the holidays too).

This is her stealing her favorite snowman ornament off the Christmas tree (it's now officially her toy).

But I got even when I caught her playing with Christmas stockings too. :devil:

In spite of her helping herself to toys and not listening to her mommy about climing the tree, Sandy Paws brought her lots of Christmas presents this year!

And this is from earlier today when she was taking a nap with a really goofy look (including one ear turned inside out).

Sorry this last one is pretty grainy. I have no idea what setting the camera was on; I just grabbed it and snapped the shot before she woke up. Not a bad way to spend New Year's Eve though, huh? I think some of the folks here might look more like that tomorrow morning. :rofl:

Thanks. I'm really biased and still think she's the prettiest cat I've ever met. :biggrin: I see a CAT-astrophe in the making at the moment, though. She's in a bookcase on a stack of rather poorly stacked papers that I'm sure are going to avalanche any moment! She's definitely active. I got her two different feather lures for Christmas (one of them is in the photo)...she goes nuts with those, and will chase them for hours if I didn't wear out before she did. She'll be panting like mad but still won't want to stop chasing them...one of them gets some really good fluttering action going with the feathers, so I can make it look almost like a real bird is flying around the room and she'll make some spectacular leaps trying to catch it! :smile:

WHAT! Still a no go! Arggg! :surprised

Yep!!! Now I'm afraid of that model. Clearly they had a production or component problem. It smelled burned when I took it out of the box like the first one did, and it had exactly the same problems.

I decided to wait and pick another one later. We're still waiting for the furniture thingy anyway.

Maybe, but really the selection was pretty good. This was just the one we liked the best. I want to wait for Tsu to get home before picking out another one. If she doesn't like what I pick I'll never hear the end of it.

See, it's much easier to not have days off. Then you don't have to face going back to work after a long holiday. :devil:
