The art of gratitude with CAT-titude
WHO can I thank today?***HOW will I show my appreciation? (¯`'•. ¸.(¯`v´¯)¸. •'´¯)
"For me, every hour is grace. And I feel gratitude in my heart each time I can meet someone and look at his or her smile." - Elie Wiesel (¯`'•. ¸.(¯`v´¯)¸. •'´¯)
The math behind the "thank you":
Acts of gratitude are highly contagious. On a day you deliver one powerful thank you...
Your gratitude spreads to 6 people you know. (+6)
Then it spreads to 6 people they each know. (+36)
Then it spreads to 6 people they each know. (+216)
6 + 36 + 216 = 258 people who feel more grateful... just from YOUR one thank you! (¯`'•. ¸.(¯`v´¯)¸. •'´¯)
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity." - Melody Beattie (¯`'•. ¸.(¯`v´¯)¸. •'´¯)

Fall back tonight - your 49th vote
*"The times they are a-changing." -Bob Dylan ¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨
¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨"Time meanwhile flies, never to return" -Virgil
***"Lost time is never found again" -Benjamin Franklin
¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨Back to Standard Time on 11/5/11¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨¨
We gain an hour of sleep this weekend!! Dayllight savings comes to an end at 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning. With the clocks turned back, it will be less dark in the morning but darkness will fall earlier in the evening. Arizona, Hawaii and Puerto Rico stay on standard time all year round.
The concept of daylight-saving time may have first been proposed by Benjamin Franklin in 1784 to the Parisians. The thought was that Americans would appreciate an extra hour of sunlight and conserve energy (candles and oil back then).
Transitions may disrupt chronobiologic rhythms and influence the duration and quality of sleep as the effect lasts for several days after the shift. People who suffer with sleep disorders seem to find the bi-annual transitions more difficult. The extra hour of sleep means a lost hour of afternoon sun, which increases reliance on electricity and decreases the potential for, vitamin D-giving outdoor activities. Nearly half of the world’s population has lower than optimal levels of vitamin D, often called the sunshine vitamin.
¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨Until March 11, 2012¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨
¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨"Time is valuable, and when it is gone, it is gone. Time is wealth, and unlike money, when it is gone, you cannot replace it." -Napoleon Hill
¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨"Poor people spend time to save money; Rich people spend money to save time.
¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨"An extra yawn one morning in the springtime, an extra snooze one night in the autumn is all that we ask in return for dazzling gifts. We borrow an hour one night in April; we pay it back with golden interest five months later." -Winston Churchill

Smile and the world smiles with you
((¯`v´¯))October 7: World Smile Day(¯`v´¯))
The first Friday of October each year marks World Smile Day, a day to do one act of kindness. Spread a little happiness to make the world a better place. Harvey Ball, creator of the now famous yellow smiley face, thought the logo was becoming too commercial and losing its real meaning. Here's your furrfriend's smiling VOTE!
Leaves are falling all around
Red, yellow, orange, and brown.
Twirling, swirling to the ground
Look how many leaves I've found!
Come little leaves, said the wind one day,
Come o'er the meadows with me and play;
Put on your dresses of red and gold -
For summer is gone and the days grow cold.
Leaves in the autumn came tumbling down,
Scarlet and yellow, russet and brown.
Leaves in the garden were swept in a heap,
Trees were undressing ready for sleep.

October events: Oktoberfest, Autumnfest, Halloween, Columbus Day,National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Here's your VOTE!
"The leaves fall patiently
Nothing remembers or grieves
The river takes to the sea
The yellow drift of leaves." -Sara Teasdale
Folklore sayings:
Rain in October means wind in December
A warm October means a cold February.
If the October moon comes without frost, expect no frost till the moon of November.
When berries are many in October, beware a hard winter.
When birds and badgers are fat in October, expect a cold winter.
"Listen! The wind is rising,
And the air is wild with leaves,
We have had our summer evenings,
Now for October eves!" - Humbert Wolfe

Cat Diary Part III
DAY 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the foul odor of the glass tubes they call "beer." More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.
DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The Bird on the other hand has got to be an informant. He has mastered their frightful tongue (something akin to mole speak), and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time.
Rocky

Cat Diary Part II
DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was... Hmmm. Not working according to plan...
DAY 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid. My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth.

Cat Diary Part I
DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant.
DAY 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair... must try this on their bed.
DAY 762 - Slept all day so that I could annoy my captors with sleep depriving, incessant pleas for food at ungodly hours of the night.

Purrs to you
Here's my vote for you furrfriend.
Wishing you several superb and idyllic weekend relaxation days.
Heard lovely duet, Tony Bennet with Carrie Underwood:
It had to be you,
it had to be you
I wandered around,
And finally found somebody who
Could make me be true
Could make me be blue
And even be glad
Just to be sad
Just thinking of you
Some others I've seen
Might never be mean
Might never be cross
Or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else
Gave me the thrill
With all your faults
I PURR you still
It had to be you
Wonderful you
It had to be you
Cause nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults,
I PURR you still
It had to be you.

Cat Bathing: Part II
-- Prepare everything in advance. There is no time to go out for a towel when you have a cat digging a hole in your flak jacket. Draw the water. Make sure the bottle of kitty shampoo is inside the glass enclosure. Make sure the towel can be reached, even if you are lying on your back in the water.
-- Use the element of surprise. Pick up your cat nonchalantly, as if to simply carry him to his supper dish. (Cats will not usually notice your strange attire. They have little or no interest in fashion as a rule. If he does notice your garb, calmly explain that you are taking part in a product testing experiment for J.C. Penney.) -- Once you are inside the bathroom, speed is essential to survival. In a single liquid motion, shut the bathroom door, step into the tub enclosure, slide the glass door shut, dip the cat in the water and squirt him with shampoo. You have begun one of the wildest 45 seconds of your life. Cats have no handles. Add the fact that he now has soapy fur, and the problem is radically compounded. Do not expect to hold on to him for more than two or three seconds at a time. When you have him, however, you must remember to give him another squirt of shampoo and rub like crazy. He'll then spring free and fall back into the water, thereby rinsing himself off. (The national record for cats is three latherings, so don't expect too much.)
-- Next, the cat must be dried. Novice cat bathers always assume this part will be the most difficult, for humans generally are worn out at this point and the cat is just getting really determined. In fact, the drying is simple compared to what you have just been through. That's because by now the cat is semipermanently affixed to your right leg. You simply pop the drain plug with you foot, reach for your towel and wait. (Occasionally, however, the cat will end up clinging to the top of your army helmet. If this happens, the best thing you can do is to shake him loose and to encourage him toward your leg.) After all the water is drained from the tub, it is a simple matter to just reach down and dry the cat.
In a few days the cat will relax enough to be removed from your leg. He will usually have nothing to say for about three weeks and will spend a lot of time sitting with his back to you. He might even become psychoceramic and develop the fixed stare of a plaster figurine.
You will be tempted to assume he is angry. This isn't usually the case. As a rule he is simply plotting ways to get through your defenses and injure you for life the next time you decide to give him a bath.
But at least now he smells a lot better.
Hope this helps the next time YOU decide to bathe your cat!

Cat Bathing: Part I
Some people say cats never have to be bathed. They say cats lick themselves clean. They say cats have a special enzyme of some sort in their saliva that works like new, improved Wisk - dislodging the dirt where it hides and whisking it away.
I've spent most of my life believing this folklore. Like most blind believers, I've been able to discount all the facts to the contrary, the kitty odors that lurk in the corners of the garage and dirt smudges that cling to the throw rug by the fireplace.
The time comes, however, when a man must face reality: when he must look squarely in the face of massive public sentiment to the contrary and announce: "This cat smells like a port-a-potty on a hot day in Juarez."
When that day arrives at your house, as it has in mine, I have some advice you might consider as you place your feline friend under your arm and head for the bathtub:
-- Know that although the cat has the advantage of quickness and lack of concern for human life, you have the advantage of strength. Capitalize on that advantage by selecting the battlefield. Don't try to bathe him in an open area where he can force you to chase him. Pick a very small bathroom. If your bathroom is more than four feet square, I recommend that you get in the tub with the cat and close the sliding-glass doors as if you were about to take a shower. (A simple shower curtain will not do. A berserk cat can shred a three-ply rubber shower curtain quicker than a politician can shift positions.)
-- Know that a cat has claws and will not hesitate to remove all the skin from your body. Your advantage here is that you are smart and know how to dress to protect yourself. I recommend canvas overalls tucked into high-top construction boots, a pair of steel-mesh gloves, an army helmet, a hockey face mask, and a long-sleeved flak jacket.
Conclusion tomorrow

Hi Stewart!
I wonder if you'd like to visit the Reading Room and meet a few new furiends and maybe find a favorite book to curl up with. Or maybe you have a favorite book you'd like to recommend. Either way, come on by sometime. Pay us a visit. We never close.

Hi Stewart
You know Wolfie, there are so many famous people that were born in Connecticut that we take them and their accomplishments for greanted. Take Charles Goodyear for example he was born in New Haven, Connecticut on December 29, 1800. Charles entered the hardware with his father in 1830 but this was not successful. He invented improvements in India-Rubber Fabrics. Rubber products melted in hot weather froze and cracked in cold. Charles Goodyear accidentally dropped some rubber mixed with sulfur on a hot stove discovering a process to improve the rubber which he called vulcanization. His discovery of what came to be know as vulcanization strengthened rubber so it could be applied to a vast array of industrial uses including automobile tires. The vulcanization process was patented in 1844 to revolutionize the rubber industry. Goodyear was unable to profit from his discoveries because his patents were always infringed and Charles Goodyear died a poor man on July 1, 1860. Maggie isn't that a sad story and to think how rich Mr. Goodyear could have been. Oh, that's not the end of the story, in 1832, in Trenton, New Jersey; two men appeared in the Circuit Court of the United States, the legal giants of their day argue the case of Goodyear vs. Day for patent infringement. Rufus Choate represented the defendant, Day and Daniel Webster the plaintiff, Goodyear. Daniel Webster, in the course of his plea, pointed to his client. The man whose cause he pleaded was a man of fifty-two, who looked fifteen years older, sallow and emaciated from disease. This was Charles Goodyear, inventor of the process which put rubber into the service of the world. Through Daniel Webster's gift with words and along with the facts, the court found for the plaintiff, and this decision established for all time the claim of the American, Charles Goodyear, to be the sole inventor of vulcanized rubber. Mr. Goodyear may have never profited from his invention but the whole world knows the name Goodyear and that it represnts the rubber industry. Hope you enjoyed learning about Mr.Goodyear, please vote for Angel Maggie everyday in September for her COTM badge. Thank you Wolfie and Angel Maggie Smokey asked me to come over and visit you. I would love to be furiends. Angel MaggieCome visit me, Miles & Q. Angel Maggie.
