Po, you're so funny! I loved when you said "All picture and no sound" - that is perfect!

I'm guessing when you "absail" it's like bungee jumping? That's when you are in a harness and leap off a bridge and the stretchy rope keeps you from reaching the ground/water - hopefully?

Translated to American English: abseiling is rapelling, Kathy. Quite different to bungee jumping, which is what it is called here as well.

I am still bent over laughing at the cat story. That totally sounds like something that would happen to me. I have stumbled into the bathroom at night, half awake, and plopped down to what I thought was the toilet seat only to miss it. That will wake you up too, but a cat! That is so funny!

I love all of your stories. Maybe we should write a collaborative book and call it, Mooning, Motorcycles, and Me...or, Who Moved My Cat?

Or maybe YOU DID WHAT?!

Where's Chick or Jane when you need them. They're always coming up with good titles.

Thanks Lola. I don't have the nerve to do either one!

I can laugh now, but at the time of the cat and then trying to get back home I lost my sense of humor. My husband still gives me a hard time over that and a couple of other blunders of mine, all because I was in a hurry.

Driving thru the garage door without opening it was another really,really dumb thing to do as was walking into a post at JacksonHole, WY and some taken part in the Old West shootout thought I had been shot.
I have no idea why everything I do has to be at 90 miles an hour.

Dotsie,

I learned by reading the directions. If you can read you can do ANYTHING! Well, almost.

I have great respect for anyone who can jump off anything higher than my front porch. My Goodness...talk about having guts...My hats off to you guys for having the nerve to do something like that. Wow. I'd have had to change my clothes.
