Hi Chris,
Welcome to Eileen's Lounge.
Is that Callisto? Or Ganymede?

Thank you Hans, and THANK YOU.HansV wrote:Welcome to Eileen's Lounge.
Your room is still here, TV, internet, home-cooked meals etc.
But right now you have to share a bed with a very frightened cat.
She is under; you would, of course, be on top.
One thing we have agreed upon is that she will NOT be named after a planet.HansV wrote:Is that Callisto? Or Ganymede?
There's no way in the world I'm going to be caught cooing "I love you Jupiter, and I love Uranus too!"

(I remember in the 1980's when newsreaders had a hard time telling viewers with a straight face that "astronomers have discovered rings around Uranus")

Re: Name That Cat
Yes, I just had to explain HansV's userpic to my granddaughter, who was passing by the computer. She first guessed it was a kangaroo, and then a bear.GeoffW wrote:You might be talking about HansV's userpic in that caseChrisGreaves wrote: One thing we have agreed upon is that she will NOT be named after a planet.

She was finally able to see the dog, after I pointed out a few details and had her pretend the sunglasses weren't there.

"That which was lost, is found"
She has spent the past four months in a two-foot cube wire cage at the local shelter.
She now has two queen-size beds, three couches, six dining-room chairs, a green chair, TWO balconies (weather permitting), the key to the executive washroom, cold running water (two locations), a practically unlimited supply of dry cat food, and a vet right across the street, who we hope not to visit except for vaxin^H^H^H^H^H vacin^H^H^H^H^H needles.
She also has two adoring males, gentle men, both, who can't wait to play with her.
When she's ready to come out from under the bed.
Jupiter says she can listen to his German-language cassette tapes on "How to develop an opposable thumb"; says he doesn't care to get into that stuff, but she's welcome ...

Not even 24 hours into it and already we have a pirated thread.
That is my Girl Guide Jar.
When I'm at McDonald's and someone else is buying me a sundae, I grab the pennies from my friend's hand, and explain to the innocent young teen-behind-the-counter that the pennies go into my Girl Guide Jar.
Once the innocent young teen-behind-the-counter has nodded acknowledgment, I continue:
"I'm saving up to buy a Girl Guide".
If nothing else it speeds up the service like you wouldn't believe.

A guy that worked here (and now works at the local observatory) always pronounced it "Urine-us" - I'm not sure that's any better really...
