  1. THL- I took the course late last year- I’ve heard tell of the Jersey City problem. Let me knw if there is anyway I can help. I’m trying to do something with the ones we have in the backyards and I can’t take in anymore. Neither can MM but we can’t bear to see any suffer.

  2. Sorry…I got it slightly wrong…its been over 30 years since we sang it out on Lake George…

    In the merry month of May when the lambs did sport and play,
    I went to take a walk around the town.|
    I met a pretty miss and politely asked her this:
    “Will you let me wind your little ball of yarn?”

    Chorus:

    Ball of yarn, ball of yarn,
    It was then I wound her little ball of yarn.
    Ball of yarn, ball of yarn,
    It was then I wound her little ball of yarn.

    With my arm about her waist, we went to a quiet place,
    And I gently laid her down upon the grass.
    While the birdies and the bees did the same among the trees,
    She let me wind her little ball of yarn.

    It was shortly after this I went out to take a piss
    And to see if she had done me any harm
    With her crack beneath her lap, she had given me the clap
    When she let me wind her little ball of yarn.

    It was nine months after that in a bar room where I sat,
    A policeman put his hand upon my arm.
    Said the officer in blue, “Now, young man, we’re after you
    Just for winding up that little ball of yarn.”

    To the judge straightway we went, and I offered to repent,
    But the judge said, “I do not give a darn.
    Guilty in the first degree! To the penitentiary
    Just for winding up that little ball of yarn.”

    In the jailhouse I sit with my fingers dipped in shit,
    And the bedbugs play billiards with my balls.
    And the women as they pass stick their hatpins up my ass
    Just for winding up that little ball of yarn.

  3. “Can someone please volunteer to leave this room for a minute and let us all know if there are any other threads worth viewing/posting in? I’m feeling a bit bad that we’re all huddling here in the party room.”

    I’ll go make a spurious remark in some random thread and then leave!

  4. Biff – I made a comment on the NY Times piece about the couple who bought in 1973 that I know will spark some comments back at me 🙂
    ha!

    Insert – ok lemme check it out

    THL – I lived in Wayne Street in Jersey City and absolutely adored that area – are you nearby?

  5. MM has several older ones- I’ll ask her to post pics. there is a very lovely calico and a tortie as well as an avidly affectionate red and white tabby who is a whore for love. And some others too. We’re desperate to find them homes before we have to put them in a shelter and right now it seems only CACC is taking any and they still do euthanasia which is a heartbreak. You don’t have to decide this minute- get yourself settled first- enjoy the new place!

    benson- I have an awful story like that too but my parents finally gave in and let me have a kitten. If you adopt one we’ll stop talking about them! 😉

    snappy- “fuzzball of love?” benson?? benson???!!
