Pooh have you woke up only to find the kitten (Mountain lion as Dixie put it) sitting on your chest and looking directly into your face, with a look that says "lets see how long he can hold his breath with me on his chest" ?

We had to start closing the door to the bedroom because of that, I would be woke up with a cat sitting on my chest and her paw smacking me on the mouth, she doesn't like snoring I guess.

I have to laugh at your adventures. Someday I want a Maine Coon kitten!

As for the current vent and rant: I went to Sterling after a stylus for the iPad. Turns out I can't write with my fingers (who knew?)
However when I got there I smelled gas - I have a leak in my fuel line. Alan came and patched it for me and I got it home but it seems that part may be hard to find

On the bright side the stylus works great!

That's exactly how Goldie (the middle cat) wakes me up every morning - perched on my chest and tapping my face with her paw. Fortunately, she has kept her claws sheathed (so far). When I open my eye I get a moist soft nose kiss. Too cute!
[errr... I do close the bedroom door on weekends ... this behavior occurs like clockwork every morning at 6 am]

I get the "bed mouse (toes)" assault. generally it is Strider, and he is VERY determined and VERY adept at "digging" my toes out from under the blanket. this can start at 0100

Too true! They are firm, but furry, tyrants!

When you allow a cat into your home they take over and "Allow" you to take care of their every need!

Well, they are the only animal that domesticated themselves.
[they really domesticated us, but let us think the opposite]

What the line about the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist?

Cats are similar they convinced us that we are the owners and they are the pets

I'm pretty sure that to die just to find a heart condition is a little extreme, even for me

riding a bike and riding a bycicle aren't that different. if you can ride a motor bike, why not the other thing?

I can ride both

If I ride a bicycle I will either be run over by a car or die of a massive coronary

I know all of us can ride both. Obviously you can ride both. I just encouraged you up there to ride bicycle from 7 to 9 in the morning, and also at 5pm.

I did it myself for several years and nothing happened. Well, almost nothing happened. Yeah, I fell off sometimes but I guarantee you nothing serious would happen.

I ride a bike since I was three. But, of course, I live in a flat country, so that's easy. But I use it every day. I also plan to have a holiday on a bike.
It seems that Vietnam is a great country to bike through. I never fall of the bike; yes, in the beginning when I learned it, as a little child, or when the roads are iced over.

I go everywhere on my bike; I just love the freedom.
