(Randall, I especially love your expression "ADOS" - when I told my husband about it, he broke out laughing!<br /><br />Jenny - You have a great attitude; I need to stop feeling guilty and get more of your positive outlook.<br /><br />Carol - You're right; things have seemed sorta "perfect" lately!<br /><br />Sheri - You are definitely one of my doppelgängers - there is nothing that can compete with "shiny"!<br /><br />Shelley - Ha! So you are a Pandora fan, too! And isn't amazing how cats know how to insinuate themselves?<br /><br />Susan - Glad to share, but especially glad to know I'm not alone!<br /><br />Cheryl - Story of our lives, isn't it? Where does the day go....<br /><br />Oh, no - That Google+ thing will definitely be my downfall (and I've started to subscribe to channels in YouTube as well) - cannot resist, must resist....<br /><br />Jasia - Too funny! I would be in worse shape if we had dogs, too (can't - 2 family members are allergic) - cannot resist the "sad face" and cold, wet noses. The other thing my cats do is make me take their pictures all the time.<br /><br />Christine - Heh, yeah, I've got this special camera in my computer, you see....<br /><br />Brenda - The inventions that bring the world into our houses are definitely making us ADOS (see Randall's definition below)!<br /><br />Jenny - And the worst thing is - we cannot get mad at our cats (or, for some, our dogs) - they are just too cute!<br /><br />Teresa - Oh, dear, you have a serious case! And dogs are just as distracting as cats (when I hear out neighbors' pugs in the back, I often have to go out to "talk" to them - so cute! And I also have that stinky work week deal to cope with!<br /><br />Jackie - I have the same problems with comments - can't figure out how to add all of the effects. One of the "Cat Laws" is wherever your attention is, that is where the cat has to be.<br /><br />Cheri - There are a bunch of us - we need a club!<br /><br />Randall - I think you have created a new acronym that is applicable to a whole lot of us!<br /><br />Kathy - Thank you - and join the club!Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324800784948486726.post-14491683453910702152012-01-08T18:03:17.915-08:002012-01-08T18:03:17.915-08:00Let me add my voice to all of those above to say t...Let me add my voice to all of those above to say that you really made me smile.Kathy Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09417754385375586302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324800784948486726.post-59380681180429092582012-01-08T18:03:17.526-08:002012-01-08T18:03:17.526-08:00Let me add my voice to all of those above to say t...Let me add my voice to all of those above to say that you really made me smile.Kathy Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09417754385375586302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324800784948486726.post-63676784728522376262012-01-08T17:46:45.907-08:002012-01-08T17:46:45.907-08:00I laughed till I cried!

Maybe I'd add the dog's cold wet nose nudging me to take him for a walk, and the cameras calling me to take a picture of something, anything. But there, you have described my life beautifully.
