    I was owned by an albino Siamese for 10 years in this city of fierce sun. The vet told me to watch the tips of his ears for black or scabby patches. Seems skin cancer was a true threat, but of course he would have scrubbed off any sunscreen. But at least cats don’t pay to lie around in “cancer clams.”

    Poor orange tabby, he’s finally had enough of all those self tanner jokes.

    Was greatly relieved to see you had received my post to you and J K.Thanks for solving the riddle of J K’s username for me. Hope J K has also seen the post.As relayed to J K, winding up at August 17th Marmaduke after clicking on the link he provided actually happened, would you believe! Haven’t tried it again, but will. Am curious as to he content of the link regarding Bill Clinton.Swore off ever playing CLUE with anyone again after losing for the 100th time. Am totally clueless.Hope you get your speakers working again soon,so you may enjoy Old Fart Rants. Am a devoted fan myself, and love his thinking.Actually, sound is not necessary for viewing the pie fight. Just enjoy the action.Have often wondered about the tab for all the pies, but know in my heart that it was a boon to local bakers, and a great stimulus to the local economy where the segment was filmed. A true patriotic act on the part of the Stooges to further the ends of the free enterprise system!A sure-fire cure for pent-up boredom and aggressive tendencies. Watch it often myself. Have saved it to my “favorites” to eliminate the need to go to You Tube and then type all that stuff into the info field. Annoying as hell.Am often bored and harboring aggressive tendencies, living alone. Wish you were here, love.Pie Fight works every time for me, and wished to send it to you and J K as thanks for all your help. Old Fart rants are terrific! May offend some political sensibilities as noted, but his sagacity cannot be questioned! Also as noted, a few spicy words here and there, but not excessively so.Know you to be a believer in Rule 20, as am also. Actually, take quite a few of his rants seriously. He’s right on target in my book. Thanks for everything.

    So admire you for not blasting Captain Oblivious for the posting of the link he provided. Honestly.Finding a woman such as yourself would be akin to the problem of finding a needle in a haystack.As a special thank you to you for all your help in divining the meaning behind J K’s username, would also like to refer you to the following, posted below. Would not ever have gotten to the bottom of things without your help.Since you stated a fondness for puns and word games, would like to refer you to the Merriam Webster on-line dictionary website.Clicking on the “Word Games” link at the top of the page will bring you to a bonanza of stuff that believe you will truly enjoy.Must now get to the Daily Jumble . Love this one myself.Have a great day, love, and enjoy the word games. No sound needed.Also, at the Deep Sea fishing word game, you can make up your own list of words to find concealed in the puzzle. Great fun.Please know that you are greatly admired by this poster at a distance. Have a great day,love.

    Also forgot to mention that Old Fart Rants are not what you had feared. Great content here, depending on your political leanings! Find his rants to be closely aligned with my own. Was it mentioned that you are greatly admired by this poster?To the Daily Jumble! Perhaps you may be able to help me out when stumped by figuring out words preventing me from solving the puzzle.Love you. Honestly.
