Uhhm.......you don't want to see the lions that live in MY mind?

I am approaching the end of my 'Second Hand Lion' life........

Only difference is I have nothing to plunder by you.

You, my friends, have nothing to gain by my passing. Nor my kitties.
I shall have to attend to their care once I am gone.

A few folks have my address, and, when I have attended to my demise, might please do well to address kitty issues. I won't be here to do so.

If more than two days go by with no contact, it would be well to put 'kitty contact' protocol into effect. Two day protocol. They can get buy for that long with the extended water bowl and kibbles.
Squirrel has to get her meds for her thyroid every day, and TiggerII is losing an eye.


I just might have to make a run to see if that old '90 Olds can do a 120 mph run one of these days......

You shall understand, I hope.......We old 'second hand lions', have to to do these thingys...... If I turn up upside down in a barn in a 1990 Olds Cutlass Ciera that could not do 85 tops in real life........you shall know that I found a way to make it do 125. I did change the speedo to one that would do 140. And the fuel pressure regulator, and the spark plugs, and the manifold pressure sensor, and the......oh, never mind,
I know this might be premature, of course, but one must prepare.

No wonder I identify so much with this movie........
I have done so many outrageous things.
Buick 455 outrunning the cops at 145 mphs.......
Ex GF now married to my Dad.....love them both.
And a few run-ins with a few young punks that just had not realized what I had experienced and They had not.......Pick that knife up, son.........you'll need it.
Current GF just about to survive chemo for HCV, now almost complete.
I did not contract it, although tested safe.
Two kitties on drugs......
Me, self administered. -
Top 10 in the world in Seti....now THAT is an accomplishment among over 1.5 million users worldwide.
Yes, I think I have done a few things.......
And, I broke that speedo in the Buick about 4 times. Turned it over the peg.

The service mechanics at the garage finally started throwing cards at me every time I rolled up. Seems they had a game going.......

Please do not attend unless you really know what we are talking about, or are a second hand lion yourself. There are a few of us that, even in old age, managed to teach a few young pups that old age and treatury(sp) is not to be fooled with.

You shall be handily ridiculed into the basement if you do, I am sure. Or worse.......

I personally helped many a young punk on his way in my day......if you know what I mean...never killed one of them silly blokes. Though I could have easily.
Was not my goal. Like Hub, I wanted to teach them something. I suspect I taught a few of them.
