There you go Mark :-)

I had absolutely no idea that raccoons were so popular and I am touched beyond words.

Thank you, friends.

Yoo hoo, Kittyman!!! It looks like you might be sharing your kibble with raccoons for a long, long time.

Yay!!:))

Wow!!!

My thanks to all who have donated to support my new team. My thanks as well to all the donors on the competing teams.

I just hope kitties and raccoons get along...
I mean yes the raccoons will plunder the kibble bowl, but what do the kitties have to say to that?

btw in an auction only the highest bidder has to cough up?

Yes, that's normally how it works. But here at S@H, we are not "normal" (although most of us are well above average, it seems). Many times I've seen the non-wimmers make good on their donation pledges, and for that we are very thankful.

Dem ol' raccoons sure do want to get their hands on the kitties' kibbles....LOL.

William, rest easy. There will be no squabbling between the Kitties and the Raccoons. The Kitties have Mark to tend to their needs, and the Raccoons have Angela to tend to their needs, so both parties will be very happy. Indeed it could be that the Kitties will be over the moon to have the friendship of the Raccoons...

A rather special bid and my ruling on it has been posted in the NC auction thread.

You Raccoon Lovers may want to peruse it to stay abreast of the auction.

19 hours to go.......

Meow.

The updated totals are also posted there.

Mark, I think this has been the funnest and most creative bidding war yet.

I am most pleased with the action...err, auction.

And Angela's inspiration to create a new team in pursuit of the kitties deserves special mention too.
Otherwise, it would not be enjoying such interest.

Thank you Angela, win or lose.

LOL Mark, better late then never. I am making a placeholder pledge for Donna of ten bucks for team Raccoon Lovers. I think this bumps us over the $1,100 mark.

No LOL here now.

Can you take me as I am, or not?

I have been dissed from more forums than I can remember.
And was here long before many of you were.

If you take me as your teammate, you shall have to learn to understand me, tolerate my, and otherwise be my friends.
I am really not sure you are ready for that.

Are you?

Otherwise, retract all bids.
I should not like to be beholden to a team that would not respect my opinions, not matter how irreverent/

I have to tell it like it is, this should not be anything new to those of you who have known me for these past 13 years or so.
And I have known some of you for most of those 13 years.

Meow?

Just a side note, because I know Angela knows and loves Tom Lehrer stuff...........

OK, some stuff is not really politically correct. And was never meant to be. It was meant to be correct, with the prefix.

If you do not get this, I suppose we are on different sides of the pew.

I happen to remember, that I was at a time, once dismissed summarily for posting this quote. Because, it offended too many Christians, of which I happen to be one.

It did not offend me, happens to amuse me. And the God I happen to embrace seems to like it too.........
