5.4 | Re: 2.57 | CSC32::M_VALENZA | Note for no reason at all. | Sun May 06 1990 22:06 | 28 |
| Hello. My name is Woofer ("Woofy") Conlon, male house cat. I am
currently using a borrowed VAX account, so I apologize in advance for
any confusion. I share a house with Suzanne Conlon; she often refers
to me as *her* cat, as if she owns me or something, but I prefer to
think of Suzanne as my servant human. I also live with a female cat,
Tweeter ("Tweety") Conlon, who usually runs away from me whenever I am
feeling amorous, which is just as well because I have been neutered and
I don't quite remember how to do it anyway. That doesn't stop me from
trying, though.
My hobbies include sleeping on a chair, sleeping next to a human on a
couch, eating, sleeping on the floor, sleeping behind the curtains,
chasing Tweetie around the house, sleeping behind the couch, being
petted on the forehead and under the chin, and, of course, sleeping.
I always look forward to meeting new humans, who can then serve my
basic sensual needs by petting me and supplying body warmth to make me
feel cozy when I sleep. Tweety, on the other hand, is a scaredy cat,
and runs away from all unknown humans.
I look forward to reading this conference, although I wish there were
more topics on such subjects as "What's the best cat food?", or "Is it
annoying to be petted while licking your fur?", or even "When walking
on a human's lap, how many times should you step on their private
parts?" But other than that, it's a great notes conference.
Purrs,
Woofy

RE: .4 (To Mike Valenza, though)
Um, Mike, I'd recommend getting in touch with Tweetie ASAP - she
is really steamed to discover that you gave Wooofie your password
(without also giving it to her.)
All forehead and under-the-chin petting privs have been suspended
for you until you contact her, and she's threatening a purr strike.
(She reads this conference, too.)
Thank you!

| RE: 3.27 Steve, for some reason, I suspect that you have a similar

what your intro sounded like to me. I used the Singles file for about
six months before finding my dreamboat. We are married now and
expecting our first baby in October.

that conference.

from Ulysses, the Molly Bloom scenes, that was magnificent. I'd

Hi /wendy -
Nice to have you here. Look forward to hearing from you.
Have to ponder the school/no relatives thing. I like to think there
is always a way, though I realize it isn't always true. How are
you doing with the job "looking?"
Barb
|
5.84 | Thank you! | WENDYE::CARBONEAU | | Wed May 15 1991 15:05 | 11 |
| Thank you, Barb.
As for the school/no relatives problem is concerned, I have a feeling
that, at this time of my/my childrens' lives, I have all the stress I
can handle, occasionally peaking at just that one bit too much. No
more room on my plate for anything but dreams. For now. I know this
will change in a few years.
I'll let you know about the job search. I'm not sure myself quite yet.
/Wendy

| Welcome to the party!
Where did you start as a machinist? Could it have been Westfield?
I started there as a fork truck driver in '75 - reactions to me
were really interesting then. I'll bet you have some stories....
Gee, maybe we should start a trail blazers string for stories of
the absurditites in being a "first."
Anyway, happy noting!

| Re: last couple
blush.
I guess I've crammed a lot into my 42 years. I forgot to mention that
I am a sports "nut" and I've been riding motorcycles since I was 16.
Had a great boyfriend who thought it was a bother to have me on the
back of his bike, so he taught me how to ride so I could get my own.
He also taught me how to play pool and shoot rifles. He was a guy
ahead of his time!
My friends call me Tewks. Hope to meet more of you soon. Thanks for
the warm welcome.

Where in Vermont do you hail from? I'm originally from Putney.
Thinking about my years in VT brings warmth to my heart and a lump to
my throat. Have you had a chance to go to a sugar on snow party? You
aren't a VT'er 'til you have! ;')

| Hi Corinne!
This is the first time in ages I have had time to actually open =WN=, I
have just been reading notes extracted in batch and browsing through
them, or even sometimes deleting them without even reading them when
I needed the disk space, BUT ... I saw your intro some time ago and
swore to myself I'd say hello first chance I got !
My brother asked me to say hello for him. I don't know if he ever told
you, but Atlanta was the town he preferred in the States!
Nice to see you here, I wish I had more time to participate!
Warm regards,
Joana

I was gonna ask if it was Dick Wagman, too. I don't know how he signed
his notes because I didn't start noting until after he left DEC. But
I do know that he had the letter Q all over his office and had a book
of Q's. He once explained to me that his obsession with the letter Q
began as a child and had something to do with a gift his sister gave
him.
