Pele and Rummy (Feline Friday) and Friendly Fill-Ins

 ***********************************






Feline Friday was originally started by Steve, The Burnt Food Dude (who no longer blogs), and i'm going to believe it's because he likes cats.

He handed hosting duties off to Sandee at Comedy Plus, and now she's entrusting it to me.


Feline Friday is simple to join.  All you have to do is: Post a picture, drawing, cartoon or video of a cat (they may be silly or cute).  Then add your link!


One thing for sure is this is a fun and easy meme to do.  So come and join us in Feline Friday.


What better way to start the weekend than with a feline!


Pele and Rummy were adopted together and will be picked up soon.













***********************************






Friendly Fill-Ins are easy to do. There are four statements: the first two statements are provided by Ellen of 15AndMeowing, and the final two are offered by Lorianne The Menagerie Mom of Four-Legged Furballs. They try to make sure the statements will be fun to both answer and share. The linky will be posted at or about 12:00 AM on Friday. Please head over to one of their sites, link up, and share your thoughts!      


Here are this week's statements with my responses underlined:


1. On Super Bowl Sunday, I will _________.


2. The toy I couldn't live without as a child was _________.


3. My _________ skills are much better than my _________ skills.


4. I _________ when choosing _________.



1. On Super Bowl Sunday, I will   enjoy a quiet evening, as we have no TV.


2. The toy I couldn't live without as a child was(n't)   a toy, it was my books, just like now.


3. My   reading   skills are much better than my   mathing  skills.


4. I (We)   deliberate carefully   when choosing   where to donate to charity.  My Sweetie and i want to make sure we donate only to those who use the money or items donated wisely and well.

  4. Someone is about to have a lot of fun at their house with the two kittens. How great they get adopted together. We have no interest in the Super Bowl here, so we will find something else to do as well.

  13. I so agree with your fourth statement, so many of the larger charities spend fortunes paying their directors, and on expensive advertising.
