Thank you! {SMILE} It really does feel like coming home. But then, it
should; I've been here more than anywhere else since I first came online.

So sorry to hear of Alban Quivertail's passing. But I'm glad to hear
that you weren't without a feline overmaster for too long. <g>

Yes, I miss the little fellow. We had some pretty good years together.

No, we weren't. We only needed a few months break before we were ready
for another feline in the house. {SMILE}

Lurkers are welcome too here. At least they are unless a LOT has changed!

Hm, hi... I am not sure I remember you, you are probably from before I
discovered this little haven. 'nyway, even if you were here when I
arrived, I am totally mindless and unable to concentrate for now, so ...
(yeah, apparently, pregnancy can do that. sigh.) I am a mum-to-be from
Fribourg (Switzerland), and err... well, ask if you have questions about
me, it will be easier that way.

May I tempt you with some chocolate (to drink or to eat, as you prefer...)?

That's quite possible. I started having trouble keeping up in...
goodness, winter 2000? {blink} I've made a couple of attempts to come back,
but most were more-or-less short. Now that I finally have a quicker internet
connection, I hope that won't be the problem it has been. {Smile}

I'll keep that in mind. I'll have to learn enough to figure out what to
ask first. {SMILE}

Thank you. Some of each would be perfect. {BIG SMILE, wink}

{sympathetic smile} Oh yes, as sure as any other ache can. {wry but

Thank you. I remember you too. {WARM SMILE}

Thanks. It was a blow. I miss him quite a bit. He was a fun cat to have
around. {reminiscent smile}

Fortunately, so is Valentine, in rather different ways. {Smile}
