***********************************
Feline Friday was originally started by Steve, The Burnt Food Dude (may he rest in peace), and i'm going to believe it's because he liked 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!
Ms. Fiona's feral clowder is being rehomed as she's in the assisted living to stay. Last time Ms. G and i went over there to feed them, they had a friend join them for supper.
***********************************
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. _________ is a blog I enjoyed that is no longer there.
2. I won't ever _________ again.
3. I once injured myself while _________.
4. I usually get _________ hours of sleep.
1. Suldog and The Chubby Chatterbox are blogs I enjoyed that are no longer there.
2. I won't ever _________ again. Nope, i know better than to answer this one. Every single time i say, "i will never" the Good Lord challenges me with a "Wanna bet?" and i end up in a position of having to do it!
3. I once injured myself while chasing a child at rEcess. I stepped out of my shoe running down the hall and hit the floor and got a shiner, although i was not really injured.
4. I usually get 3-7 hours of sleep. Yes, it can vary that much, depending on how early i can get to bed, how early i have to get up for work, and whether i end up with insomnia that particular night. Only if i don't have to get up by a certain time the next morning do i ever get close to 8 full hours.

Three hours sleep? And a busy day ahead - you must be running on empty.
ReplyDeleteThat chicken knows where to come for food. I suffer from insomnia and very often get zero hours sleep. I like to watch Escape to The Country mid afternoon and usually have a short snooze then. I never get to see which house they choose if any.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't enter my link today and kept getting the error code.
I have got my link up now. I always use the first one for Javascript, but just tried the second code and that worked.
