And Suzie-Q I have no problem with your request in the Critter Cafe to help fund the medical treatment of the kittens you have found. In fact, I can think of no better venue to post it than a place where Critter People gather. I see that you set the "default" request to $35, and so with that Eric and I were happy to start off your campaign yesterday. Wishing you the best of success!

And now we are 3. Tried to donate Saturday evening (would have been first), but got the spinning pinwheel and a "Done but errors on page" message when I hit "Submit". Tried again today, got same result on both XP/IE-8 boxes. So I go try on one of my Mac G4s running Safari - and it goes right through. Go figure.

Sue will be pleased in more than one way to read that. She's a Mac head.

That raccoon picture is not of a skinny adult raccoon. It is a raccoon kit!!! Please note the little darling's proportions. They are perfect.

Skinny, sick, under-fed adult raccoons have big heads, adult limb lengths and long adult tails on skinny bodies. This baby looks as a baby should... adorable and perfect in every way!!!

And Suzie-Q I have no problem with your request in the Critter Cafe to help fund the medical treatment of the kittens you have found. In fact, I can think of no better venue to post it than a place where Critter People gather.

Thank you so much!!!

The default amount must have been set by the Fundly people. I
didn't do that. It looks like $10 is the minimum, but I wish
they'd set it to $5. And when I put those $100 things up, it
made it look like you have to donate that much. I tried to delete
them, but couldn't.

Anyway, thank you again!!!!!!!

Thank you Donald. You are a very nice man.

I do what I can. I also have 3 semi-feral cats living in my yard, plus several neighborhood cats that visit regularly and dine at my kitty restaurant. Only one will come to me and let me rub her, but the others seem to recognize my voice, and will let me get within arm's length before they move away. So I know what Suzie is dealing with. Plus, her fundly page says she's an Army veteran, and we vets take care of our own.....


I am an Army veteran. I served 22 years. Retired in 1993.

Thank you, Donald!

Good luck Suzie! Me I wish I could put up a petition here too, but alas I think I can't, it just involves legislation and SSI. I have 84 signatures so far.


Thanks. I just sent you a friend request.
Also, your "2015" link doesn't work.

If you like, send me a private message with the link to your
petition.

About the same time I did - August 1993 - 20 years, 5 weeks. Was obligated out to 23 years, but got caught in the "Peace Dividend" / "end-of-the-Cold-War" drawdown.

I'd have contributed anyway, but being Comrades-in-Arms made it a no-brainer.

Move up the IE to be only one version behind current. Better yet, use a different browser.

Windows Update says IE8 is the most recent version for XP systems. My most recent acquisition, a Core2 Duo E6550, is going into the shop next week for inspection and possible upgrade to Windows 7. Until then, it's XP/IE8 or OSX 10.4.11/Safari v4.

Really. I thought XP would go to 9.

I'm thinking of dumping Chrome in favor of Opera. I think Chrome is telling Google what I've been looking at on each computer so it can show me the same ads on my others. I did switch my XP cruncher to Opera, but I don't surf on that one anyway.

OK as Angela has always said that nothing is off topic here and I cannot find the gardening thread:

Can any body help identify these:



I have had thistle and teasel suggested by I cannot find a match.



The flower is almost perfectly round and intricate and liked by bees.

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

It sure looks like Plume Thistles. Take a photo of the leaves. I know how they looks like.
If the 'flower' sticks to your clothings then its some kind of thistle.
But does bees like them?

However I can identify the Digitalis in the background.

My first reaction is that it is a thistle of some kind.
