[Highland Park] Butter crock???
by istorch 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

Does anyone happen to have a butter crock that you don't want? If you don't know what it is, then you probably don't have one!!! This is a crock that holds cold water and the lid has an inverted bowl that holds the butter. Please don't email me and tell me where I can get one. I know how to do that. Just wanted to see if someone locally has one they don't need. Thanks. Isobel ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com

[Highland Park] An update on the cat situation
by Kudrick, Rachel 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

Hey all. I received this in my email today from someone who was concerned about my "cause" to help out local strays. nice work... how bout the people who arent on the email? someones probably lookng for that cat.. some little old lady or someone without a computer.. someone who might feed that cat out their door every day... you know cats visit.. they wander... blocks... blocks and blocks... someone maybe needing that visit everyday... try not to be so helpful next time... at least for ther cats sake... yeah i read your message feline hiv.... big deal... good thing they dont do that to people... put you down when your sick.. that cat obviously was cutting out a living... maybe not to your standards but still . living... oh well no good deed goes unpunished .. i guess it was the cat who got punished this time. maybe you should spearhead some other cause... where your not the judge and jury. thanks for making the neighborhood so much more safe for all of us. bmikeeb(a)aol.com I'd just like to respond by saying that, yes, that cat was eking out a living. Sure, he may have been happy with that. And, of course, all the female strays in the area would be just as happy as they were eking our *their* living. And, then, of course, there's the kittens... One unspayed female can produce hundreds of kittens in its lifetime. And then each of those female kittens can do the same, sometimes starting as early as when they are only four months old. The environment, of course, cannot support that many stray cats. So they die in some horrible ways, the least of which is being hit by a car. They die of starvation, disease, infected sores, attacks from other animals (including other ferals, who sometimes kill their own kittens). And, when they get injured, they have no one to care for them, provide them medicine, or ease their pain. They die slow, painful deaths. Make the nighborhood much safer for the humans? No. We can fend for ourselves. Make life much easier for the feral cats that are already out there? Absolutely.
