Hope things  r good on your side.  So, y got 3 cats....y need to get another one. Odd#s are bad luck. Splat(named after blood splatter evidence from forensic files) is a tortoise shell mix. I made up cheer 4 her: Splat, splat super brat, oh my goodness your a cat! Shadow Thief (the thief that stole my ) he's a Norwegian Mystic Forest cat,Manncoon,Raggdoll mix or mutt. Pets r like potato chips, you can't just have one. Got to go, they're giving me the u forgot to feed us look.

  Love the names!  Speaking of Forensic Files, I really like that show!  My kitty's name is Gracie (she has a grey beard, but female, so we went with Gracie (also a great aunt's name from England.)  Batman is one of the cats (she's female but with her "masked" face, it just seemed to fit.)  Our 3rd cat was named by our 5 yr. old gr. dtr. (she was 3 at the time.) She kept calling her Kitty-ya and it stuck.  You're right - I should get one more, lol!

Totally agree. I hate people when they smoke. It's such a disgusting habit and they don't realize that they're poluting the air with that. I wish people would stop smoking and make the cigarette companies bankrupt. For real cigarette companies don't even care about a person's health. If they did then they would think of something else instead of making cigarettes. But that's a whole other issue. I really hate it when people blow smoke in front of children's faces. That's cruel and jeopardizes the health of that child. Of course the adult doesn't care. Why would they if they don't even care about their own health.  

my grandfather would smoke in the car with the windows up with his whole family in the car. i dont understand why.. and i dont understand why he smoked in front of us grandkids. he eventually get lung cancer from it..knowing the dangers. he died 5-10 yrs later after several surgeries and radiation treatments to shrink the tumors and chemo..he lost most of his hair and he was tired all the time. my dad started smoking at a young age and at a young age i started covering my nose with my shirt everytime i would smell his smoke. i never liked it. my mother quit for me ..YES THIS IS TRUE! i was 2. here's the story: one day i was sitting playing -probably inside our old apt where i first lived after i was born. my mom was pregnant with my brother and she was smoking and i said hold me and i looked at her and...she didnt want to hold me while having the thing lit in her hand or whatever so she looked at me then looked at the cigarette and asked herself this question "whats more important, my kid or the cigarette?'' she put it out and never took a hit again. (AS FAR AS I KNOW). it's been 22 yrs and she still doesnt smoke. she told me just recently that she doesnt really know why she started smoking in the first place. she said she never liked the taste and she thought it really stunk so she never took a drag again. now, if only i could get my dad to quit. my brother started smoking at a young age. he married someone who smokes too. they have a daughter now and they rerfuse to smoke in the house-which im grateful for. i dont want my 17 month old niece subjected to that, even though her mother tried to quit and did for a few weeks while pregnant,but picked it up again and still smokes. my mom complains that my dad stinks and comes to bed stinky and everything he touches stinks. it's nasty. she smells it on some kids she watchs too. it makes her want to puke.
