Alice Walker's The Color Purple turns 30
1982, the novel - 1985, the movie - 2005, the musical
Poem by Alice Walker
...“Expect nothing. Live frugally
On surprise.
become a stranger
To need of pity
Or, if compassion be freely
Given out
Take only enough
Stop short of urge to plead
Then purge away the need.
...Wish for nothing larger
Than your own small heart
Or greater than a star;
Tame wild disappointment
With caress unmoved and cold
Make of it a parka
For your soul.
...Discover the reason why
So tiny human midget
Exists at all
So scared unwise
But expect nothing. Live frugally
On surprise.”

★ Welcome to CC Angel Bubba
I’m Zaboo, the leader of the NICE Crew & I’ve been a member of the CC community since 8/10/2007. It’s very nice meeting you & we hope you’ll enjoy your time here & will make lots of new furiends along the way. I’m pouncing by to give you some info that you may find helpful as you start visiting others on the channel. If you go to the home page you’ll find all kinds of fun things to do as well as loads of information by hitting the various links or tabs on the page. The University gives you the opportunity to test your feline knowledge & earn a badge for each session that you complete plus there are games & contests under other tabs too.
Do you know how to navigate easily to the pages you want or see mentioned in blogs? Look at the address bar (URL) in your browser. The numbers on the end are your page number. Each page has a different number so all you need to do is erase (backspace or highlight & delete) your 6 digit number, type in the page you want to visit, and then press enter. The next page you’re on should be on the page number of the cat that you typed in. This method makes it much easier & faster to vote for other cats that are running for specific badges throughout the month & will also let you connect with other kitties that are visiting that cat. Another way is by using the links that are on every blog posted. The links are always in blue so to answer someone that blogged to you (or you’ve found an interesting sounding cat you’d like to visit), all you need to do is click on their link to take you to their page. I know it sounds slightly confusing at first but once you get the hang of it you’ll have loads of fun interacting with others in the community.
The CC community is comprised of thousands of pages. Here are some special pages that are frequented by our feline friends:
*CMR (Catpaign and Mews Room) page #46883 where kitties post their news and the cat of the day campaigns are announced.
*Mouse Hockey League (see Dean page #36497 for details)
*Rainbow Bridge Scoop newspaper #63509 (Angel Duckie, Editor, #51627) for kitties who have crossed over.
*Birthday Central #73341 where you can register your birthday & adoptiversary or see who’s having one.
*Community Directory on page #112364
It’s always great if you can go by & congratulate the daily COTD (cat of the day) winners & vote for the COTM (cat of the month) nominee that’s currently running too. This month the nominee is LEO #188022 so please try to go by to meet him & paw him a vote as often as you can. This lets everyone know there’s a new cat in “town” & also let’s you get to know some of the others that romp through each day. CC is a fun place & we hope you enjoy your time here with us.
This is the Zaboo & NICE crew on behalf of the CMR #46883 pawing you a welcome vote & a basket filled with treats, toys & cans of tuna as our way of welcoming you to our diverse & fun community.Come visit me, Q Trixie~PLZ vote COTM for DOLLY #222609 daily~, Fluffinella-PLZ vote DOLLY #222609 June COTM, Joseph-PLZ vote DOLLY #222609 daily in June!, Angel Sherman, K Zaboo-Catgrats new COTM KING WHISKERS #227256!!, Angel Cloudy ♥ Angel Oscar, Special Memories page & Patches~PLZ vote DOLLY #222609 daily in June~.
