Cathy from southern Ontario

Hi Cathy - for information on Pompeii you need to talk to Karen/Sydney (you can get to her via my page) she's my sister and has spent several months in Pompeii digging up the ruins. i don't know if she has been to Positano to make a comparison.

Hi Cathy

just thought I'd drop you a quick line to say - definitely go to Pompeii. There are really good audio guides that you can pick up from the main entrance or splurge and go for a guide. It will be the best way to get the most out of the city. I've been twice spending six weeks each time on archaeological digs. It is awesome.

wow - how's that - my sister and I are on the same page visiting Cathy!

hi Cathy, i saw your post yesterday (6/2) that you have vacationed in Watkins Glen. We were there also a few years back. was working near ther for several months and visited several places. loved the state park and all the wineries. the brigham young history was interesting also. that was before my pictures were digital.

we love ontario too. visited several times while working in niagra falls. crossed the border at port huron and made several stops along the way. loved stratford too. we have great memories of the area.

Hi Cathy, I saw on the easy page you said you don't know how to make an avatar. If you already have a picture a very easy site to use is:
http://www.shrinkpictures.com/create-avatar/
set the size to 50
Another way to do it is to use a photo program if you have one on your computer. I use Adobe Photoshop Elements. You can resize the image quite easily. I hope this helps.

hi cathy~~~when i did my avatar i found it helpful to follow the step by step instructions of miztricia. actually brucie did it when he got home cause i'm not too savvy on this computer. so you minght check with her if you are in question of anything.
how is fuzzy little arthur doing these days?
please give him my love!(i somehow feel close to that little boy
have a great day cathy...loving you as always!

Cathy, I would be glad to send you the instructions, Can you get me your address? Rob has mine. If you have hers she can do the exchange.

BTW, where did you leave me a message? i got e-mail saying I had a message from you, but it is not on my page, unless it is on the OLD page from before i was a Supporting Member. I had to hunt you down to reply. hehehe, so click on the 'check out my page' from here and then i can find yur reply, please.

thanks for stopping by. love the ice wine. we were first introduced to it in New Orleans, when we stopped at a fancy restaurant for dessert and wine (dinner was way more than we wanted to spend - other things beckoned!lol). we loved the 2 we tried and have since tried lots of different ice wines. i've seen a couple canadian ice wines and have been on the lookout to purchase them.

i also had lots of trouble with the page and avatars, it's taken me almost a year to 'perfect' the methods, but i'm still never quite sure about the next step, especially with inserting photos in My Page, as you can see by the double picture on My Page. LOL. i hope to have that corrected shortly. one of these days, i'll remember that i don't have to insert the pix into the message. have you uploaded pictures to flickr? that's decently easy if you have a flickr account and know exactly where your pictures are located on your computer. if you want some help before hubby can help, let me know. maybe we can set something up for the chat room....(I'm on central time, and you probably are on eastern time, so that should be a problem). be glad to help anyway i can.

Go Bulldogs! With Price in goal it's a win for sure, and a great comeback! I'm cheering for you Cathy!

And by the way, it's hard for me to support the Montreal Canadiens farm team, but let's have that Calder Cup in Canada!

Catht,
Just dropping by to let you know you and mother are in my thoughts today. Take care of yourself and wishing your mother well. Mary

Cathy, my prayers for you and your mother. She'll come through but you'll be a nervous wreck. So take care of yourself because when your mom comes home, you'll be busy. So here's wishes of strength and calmness for you and wishes of health for your mother.

Hi CATHY
Your mother in our prayers.Our best wishes of healyh for her sooner.

Cathy-

Hoping and praying that all goes well with your mom.

Nothing but positive vibes here Cathy no matter what the results. Your Mum is already one step ahead of the battle because she has you by her side..

No worries Cathy. Any news yet?

I meant what I said. I'm currently caring for my mother who has Alzheimer's and my father who is legally blind with diabetes. Both are stubborn cusses who are determined to live independently in their home which they've lived in for forty-one years. So I'm over there every other day right after work to take care of the shopping, medications, and doctor appointments and whatever else. So please, I know how it is, so please take good care of yourself!!!

Thankful that you Mother is doing better Cathy - Take care and get some rest - Mary

Hi CATHY.
I stopped to your page just to say Hello and ask you about Your lovely Mother .Hope everything is running well .Please give her our best wishes.
Take care.

Hello Cathy - long time, no visit, so I thought I would call in tonight to say hello.
Hope all is going well with your and your family.

Cathy, glad you're back and had a good time. I haven't been horseback riding in ages. Would love to do it again altho am afraid I would hurt myself. Are you planning your next trip? I will be up near Canada at the end of July. The family is getting together at Smuggler's Notch to have a graduation party for my son, my sister's son and my brother's daughter. We had 3 graduate last year as well. Hope you have a great day!

Hi Cathy, and welcome back from Utah! How was the trip, and did you take photos that you might post? Good to see you back on the site. Cheers!

Cathy, Arthur looks like a real sweetheart!

Cathy, Arthur is beautiful! What a nice photo of him!

Hello, Cathy! What a lovely gentleman Arthur is! Looks really intelligent. By the way, how is your Mum doing, now? Well, I hope.

Hi Cathy, I haven't had a cat for years, but if I ever get another one it would be a Maine Coon!
Wow, they don't come much prettier than that! he's a guy, guess I should say 'handsome'
Is he high maintenence? Lots of brushing?

Blessings to your Mom...

Cathy, I'm glad you figured out how to post some pictures of Arthur. He's a great looking cat! Are his medical problems all resolved now? Since you've figured out how to use Flickr, I hope we'll get to see some pics of your other cats, your family & YOU! Hope you're ALL well & happy.

Cathy, Arthur is so handsome, he looks so regal. Are his medical problems over? BTW I love the rug.

Hi Cathy
I had to come and have a look at the infamous Arthur. He's gorgeous! does he know he is? I bet so! and I'll take you up on the mimosa and shrimp.

cheers

Arthur is very cool.

Cathy, my wife was curious as to your reaction to her tea bag suggestion. I showed her your post to Aileen a bit ago. It had her in stitches. She remains disinterested in the proceedings herein but I do share some of the more lively exchanges with her from time to time.

Cathy, hi. Arthur is truly a handsome feline. Maine Coons have such a distinctive look.

What a fantastic cat, Arthur is a real beauty!

hi Cathy,so this is Arthur...well i have no clue on the breed of the cats i grew with but one of them was similar to this guy!(tho not so chubby!)he was a skinny fella but very lively,bore all my atrocities..thanks for the msg in my page
cheers

Thanks Cathy. I hope you are having a great 4 July celebration. Dad actually went back into hospital today to have his gall bladder removed. It is a fairly simple op so hopefully I won't have to do too much for him.

Thank you for the ice wine. I was most ingracious on my last visit. To make amends, please accept a bottle of locally produced elderberry wine. There is a story about the tea bags, but my wife would have to tell it. It had something to do with an old college lit. professor who was quite eccentric in her day.

Oh, and P.S. She just loves you cat. She is a hard wired cat person.

Whatever your imaginitive wheels have turned up is probably close to spot on. When whe was telling me the story many years ago, about half way through I went into a defensive TMI shut down mode.

CATHY, I noticed while visiting some pages, you still do not have your avatar up. I sent you e-mail with 2 avatars and instructions for submitting them. Did you receive it? Oh back almost a month ago i think . . . let me check. June 7, and subject line was 'Instructions for Avatars Graphics included'

A fast check of my old mail does not show a reply, maybe you never received the mail. Maybe I had the wrong address??

Sorry I did not follow up on this sooner, but I was doing several different avatars at the time, and you got lost in the shuffel. I did not want you to think I had just forgotten you.

Wasn't kidding at all. Glad you enjoyed my garden.
