BM>>> Hmm? Which 'lessons'? Oh! And then there's the frustration BM>>> of "well it worked before!" Sometimes can't win. NB>>> So we just take it as it comes, and hope to make progress... BM>> Am making progress on multiple projects -- would prefer to be able to BM>> do one or two at a time and get those completed but sometimes have to BM>> order parts, etc. NB>> Yup... there are some times when one can go full-speed ahead on just NB>> one project, and other times when one has to put things on hold for a NB>> bit and work on something else for a while... :) At least you are NB>> making progress on all the ones you're working on... ;) BM> Well, sort of! I'd like them to go faster/quit throwing those BM> annoying detours in my way but that's the way things are. Too easy BM> gets boring! Besides, you have all this extra time on your hands now, being stuck at home... BM>>> And the cats purr and rub along your leg. "Haha, silly human! You BM>>> think this means I love you; it really is me marking you with my scent BM>>> and you're mine!" NB>>> Or some of each.... ;) I did once have a male cat that actually NB>>> "marked" me.... he was my son's cat, and due to my son moving from an NB>>> almost rural area into the inner city (Philly) was about to come home NB>>> with us instead... We went down to help the kid move and all, and NB>>> there, prowling amongst the boxes and other upheavals of the NB>>> apartment, the cat came over to me and sprayed my leg... He'd known NB>>> me from previous visits there... apparently decided to stake a claim NB>>> elsewhere.... ;) BM>> Uh, nice? Not quite what a human wants from a 'love interest' but BM>> from the cat perspective was a high compliment. NB>> It certainly did take me aback at the moment... and then I sorta NB>> figured out what he was up to... ;) Only did it that once, too... :) BM> You learned after the first time to run! Actually, it might have been more on the order of your little dog jumping up on the sofa... ;) the cat might have done it without really thinking through the ramifications, and then realized, uh-oh... ;) ttyl neb ....
