I can't seem to post a picture by putting description inside double quotes. Am I trippin? Don't answer that. I have to decide now if I want to take part in the shaving (having him shaved by a professional, god, I can't believe I just said that) of my longest surviving (14 year old) cat. He's going rasta. The vet says he would be more comfortable with a shave. I'm scared. Won't it be psychologically, uh, pyschological? Just when you think its safe not to have a life... Thanks for the adivce or not, I won't take it because I have to make the decision right now, when I sign off, so save it if you want, I'm sure to face similar dilemas down the road, maybe I'll take your advice one of those days, so make it good, or not. Dammit. I'll probably be back here Friday, which is when the cat will be shaved. Dammit, I guess I'll go along with it. I hope it's not too psychological. I hope everyone is happy in the end. That cat has been with me (well technically not with me because he stays here at Dumaine) since Oregon, where he was born. On the move to Seattle he was there when I was for the first time assisted, instead of hassled, by a policeman. Landmarks.
We shave the dreds off cats in Oregon.

Kyla,
"let my freak flag fly"
is from a CSNY song, some lines of which are
"almost cut my hair/happened just the other day/it was getting kinda
long/could have said it was in my way/ [....] increased my
paranoia/like looking in the mirror and seeing a police car/ but I
didn't and I wonder why/guess I thought I'd let my freak flag
fly/felt like I owed it to- someone."
In those days, no self respecting hippy called him/herself a hippy,
this had long since turned into a distressing media word. We were
freaks. Nice, because (a) it took over a term of abuse & turned it
into our own happy word (b) one meaning is mutant (c) it has "free"
in it.(d) lets go over and lower the flag on Jim Louis's cat
Nowadays I find I don't mind "old hippy."
The great thing about the hippies was it was cool to be weird-- a
very interesting merging of opposites that made me very happy & meant
I fit in pretty well, finally, for awhile.
Still hairy after all these years

There was a change made late yesterday that disabled the ability to post pictures by just including the description inside of quotes. This was causing some problems in another direction. But I'll get it working again. In the mean time you can post a picture by using this html:
<img src="getpic/xxx" border="0">
where xxx equals the picture id number. You can find the id numbers on the [upload] page. The border="0" is optional, and can also be border="1" or border="2" for progressively thicker black borders around the picture.
Sorry for no heads up.
No sweat on that picture posting snafu and thank you all for the comments, a man doesn't want to be alone at a time like this, and speaking of inside double quotes, here is a sentence I have never uttered before so it just goes to show you the show ain't over till Fat Freddy's cat get's his dreds shaved and has to hide his shame under some patriotic wave cap looking thing (flag). "I am preparing to take my cat to the groomer."

David Crosby was actually referencing Hendrix. Old hippies get a bit fuzzy on this sort of thing. Speaking of which, what's this thread about? Oh yeah, haircuts...?

Or maybe it was about old hippies named Freddy and their cats?
