I have never seen raccoons cooperate like that. They are smart, but not THAT smart. I am guessing this is a darling little photoshop job. Very, very, very cute though!!!

Lenny Kravitz has a female drummer. The White Stripes used to have one too. And then you have Karen Carpenter...

The late Sandy West of the Runaways was a very excellent and powerful drummer.

Now that I look at it a little more closely, I see that you
are most likely correct. I guess I just wanted to believe.

I know some of the snotty responses I shall get.....but........

Cher is going to appear at the Milwaukee Civic Center next summer.
This is about 100 miles south of the kittyman.
I think I need to dive in for tickets now.

I know some of you consider me an old F///////
And a pitiful few of you don't consider Cher an artist.

I do.

On my way to buy groceries last night I saw a raccoon lying in the road. I nearly ran it over myself, but managed to swerve (safely) to miss it. I figured it was a goner. I didn't notice it on the way home. Then this morning I went to get a couple of things I forgot last night and there was no sign of the raccoon. No sign at all. I've decided to believe that it was just stunned by a car and managed to get up and move on.

This happened not too far from my house, so I had to wonder if it was one of "my" raccoons. Does anyone know how far they'll travel at night looking for food, or maybe a mate? And do they go back to the same place to sleep during the day?

I strongly suspect a couple of them are living under my house. They have been seen* running from the dogs in that direction, through holes that aren't supposed to be holes. Can a raccoon squeeze through a small hole? I'm thinking that their fur probably makes them look much larger than they really are.

In this thread one is free to discuss anything. I set up the thread with open parameters, so a post about Cher is just fine here.

However, you now know where my Tigger kitty got her name. Or at least Tigger II, after the one I lost.

I personally would not drive 10 miles or spend 10 bucks to see her, but I harbor no disrespect for anyone who would. (Certain other "artists" perhaps...) There are very few performers I would spend money to see live. There are higher priorities in my life.

I would have gone to see Billy Joel and Elton John at Wrigley Field a couple years ago, but I couldn't then. McCartney, maybe.

I'd like to agree, but the same audience that knows Angela by her first name also knows Mark and Vic by their first names.

I really love this cut.
Because I do believe in life after love.

I am living proof.
JJ and all.
I did overcome some how.
Wounded warrier.......perhaps.
But, I crashed and burned and can somehow talk about it at times.

Yes, I believe in life after love.
