Traveling ... that sounds like a nerve whatsit.  A pinched nerve of some
kind.

last.. it

More like a herniated disc you never knew you had.  They'll do stuff like
that.

That side effect doesn't happen all that often.  I've only had it once in
four years.  Some people never get it at all.

Kinda sorta maybe.  I don't know how badly off I'd be without it. 
Generally, once I get a symptom it's mine to keep. They get better or worse
but usually don't go away entirely.
 
-> > Not really. Not around here.
-> 
-> Yeah, you only see them generally in the early spring..

Critters, or basil plants?

some

-> Brilliant man :)

It's a thought, but a bit too late now.  The plants survived but they're
not setting fruit yet.
 
-> > It didn't smell, so it wasn't that bad.  And no guts hanging out.
-> 
-> Ah it's my mind taking over.. can't stand the thought of the critter
buying it
-> that way.. meanwhile, I can't think of a good way either. (g)

I used a push broom and shoved it under the pachysandra.

-> 
-> :)  A Maine Coon lover.. :)  Ron thinks it must be a breed thing.. he
says
-> maybe they think they are tigers Lol... Did Max fetch qtips if you threw 

They think they're lions, I think.  Or bobcats.  Max never fetched anything
except critter body parts.

them?

Poor

-> 
Max was a runt, only about 10 pounds.  He acted like he was a giant cat
though. 

-> Boy, did I mess up with Pete's age.. he was at least 15 as well.. :(  We
got
-> him when he was six.. Ron's boss couldn't keep him because of situations
at
-> home (probably allergies & kids). He told me Pete was more a dog than a
cat

That's a Maine Coon all over.  They're all like that.

-> Lol.. He was quite desperate to find a home for Pete, and had heard that
Fred,
-> my alley cat had died (everyone knew Fred (g)) .. I remember asking him,
ok, is
-> he affectionate?? Does he still PLAY?  (laugh - boy did he :)).. We had
him a
-> year or so and then he lived with all through our stay in Louisville (7
years)
-> and then after we moved back to NY, he lived another two years.. then we
had to
-> put him to sleep because of the cancer. We were both right there holding
him.. 
->  I'd like to get another Maine Coon someday.
-> 
I still miss Maxie.  Unlike the two I have now, he had a brain.  I swear
the cat was more of a bright two year-old than a cat.
