Maybe if you could spell communion, they would consider it.

This was one of the BEST episodes, the way Margine turned around from her wayward path, and fully committed to the family was rivitting, I didn't know whether to cry or cheer when she asked to be baptised!! ( I did both)  Do we really have to wait all the way until 2007 for more episodes??? Quick write/film some more!! Love the show,

I like that idea  She really was the best cat I've ever had.
She was 14 years old (a ripe old age for a cat) when she developed a tumor on her liver and the vet said it would be more humane to put her down than to put her through the pain of a surgery she likely wouldn't survive.  I've had a few cats since, the only one to come as close to my esteem for her was Frank. (he had the bluest eyes so I named him after Sinatra lol). Frank was also my baby, but he didn't adjust very well after I had the babies and we had to find a better home for him where he could get the attention he needed. The kids are a little bigger now and my hubby just brought home a little kitten, he's cute and he loves the kids. My son named him Cosmo, (ok does anyone here know the kids show "Fairly Odd Parents" (its about a little boy with fairy godparents) its very funny and one of our kids fav's. Well Cosmo is named after one of the fairy godparents. Funny part is my daughter (who's 2) refused to call him Cosmo- She calls him Wanda (the name of the other godparent lol). We'll say to her "say hi Cosmo" and she'll say "Hi Wanda" lol. We can't get her to call him Cosmo for anything. LOL.

Oh how cute! I have little songs for our kiddies I made up (and I had a Schnuckums the wonder cat song I made up as a kid) but I haven't done any cat songs since lol!

LOL Don't ya just love the cat attitude. I love the old joke about the difference between cats and dogs- A dog looks at people and says "you give me food, water, shelter, and affection, ....you must be a god" A cat looks at people and says, " you give me, food, water, shelter, and affection... I must be a god!"

I thought I was the only one crazy enough to give a cat a bath. LOL! Thats a rule for all of my cats, if you live with me you have to have a bath. I don't abide by dirty kitties lol. (and its so nice that cats don't stink like dogs do when they're wet lol)

I think Schnuckums should be canonized. St. Schnuckums, patron saint of little girls' dressup and tea parties.
Akane, on the other hand, thinks he should have had his head examined. (Akane is our tuxedo cat, the house matriarch. When people ask to speak to the lady of the house, I just hand her the phone.)
Akane story: one day when Akane was a kitten, my husband was holding her in front of a mirror, and singing her special song. (every cat gets a song. Her is, "who's that kitty, who's that kitty?)
Anyway, after a minute of this, Akane's eyes widened, as she realized she was looking at E.V holding ANOTHER CAT! WHILE he was holding HER! She turned around and raked him good, and ran off in righteous indignation to wash her paws on a very high shelf.
About every seven years Akane gets fed up with my husband's crazy nonsense, and swipes him, but usually she just holds up her little paw, extends the claws, and says, "don't make me use these." She puts up with toe-tickling, upside-downness, baths, and repeated tail-petting after she's already said no.

When I was about 8, I had a cat (name Schnuckums) that my grandma and I rescued after her mom was hit by a car when she was about 3 weeks old. (we bottle fed and she came through just fine and she was absolutely my baby. She was such a good cat, She was always dresses up in baby clothes, I even had an old fashioned baby buggy that my neighbor had given me that I used to push the cat around the neighborhood in all dressed up in baby clothes lol. That cat did everything with me, and tolerated alot! lol

 LMAO! T- you crack me up!
and there's nothing funnier to me that cats in clothing. When I was a kid I had an entire dresser of baby clothes for my dolls and it wasn't long before all of them had holes in the seats for my cat's tail to fit through.

That's okay. I have my tinfoil hat on. Princey has his on, too. He says it's a conspiracy that he doesn't get catnip every day.
He was kissing me just now, but mainly to get information, he says. Plus he is purring. (I would never really put a tinfoil hat on a cat. But he'd look like a big fluffy Hershey's kiss...)

Ok I didn't mean to imply anyone created the virus- Hope my post didn't suggest this. The vaccine I was speaking of (I believe was for Polio (although they are starting to question the time line on that (the first known case was in a man in 1959). I didn't mean they created the AIDS virus this way, I meant that they were growing the live virus they use in the polio vaccine in the monkeys kidneys (and this is how the virus was spread to humans). Hope that cleared it up. I agree with Bear that the idea that someone created it sounds like a conspiracy theory.

AIDS did not start by a man having sex with a chimp- the consensus for a while was that it began after a worker in the congo was bitten by a monkey carrying the virus. However some are starting to question this theory, and thinking that it perhaps was spread through vaccinations given to Africans (they grow the live viruses in the kidneys of the types of monkeys that carry the virus). There's also some theories that it was the WHO who employed the "dip and stick" method that helped spread the disease to more and more people. (They used the same needle over and over again on people they were vaccinating).

It could even be the "Helpful Uncle" scenario, where animals and people who do not themselves reproduce aid in the upbringing of related offspring with related genes.

The same as any other organism: radiation, toxins and other environmental stressors.
The very fact that the disease is so deadly shows that it is of fairly recent evolution because it is actually ill-adapted for maximum transmission as it kills its hosts. Older disease tend to become more benign. Contrast AIDS with the multiplicity of separate diseases called the "Common Cold."

More of your conspiracy theories. You don't think that
new diseases arise all the time? Did man create influenza?
