Tuesday's Tail

Instead of the same ole tummy shot for Tuesday, I thought I'd show you all a picture of mine tail instead. Mommy is practicin takin' all kinds of pictures and dis is what happens when da flash goes off too close to one's tail. At least nuffin else is showin' in my behind picture if yoo know what I mean.

Tummies and photos

We asked Adan what kind of camera dey has that Michico takes so many good pictures wif. They gave a nice explanation of their camera and how Michico has improved the pictures she takes of Adan. We thought we'd show owr camera too. We has da Kodak Easy Share DX7440. We also got our camera a couple of years ago. Geez, has it been dat long already?
Mom takes mostly pictures on Auto and dis is what she gets: Low lighting:
In the shade: Ouch! That's da Mom's foot!Here's an example of bad flash lighting. We am still werking on dat.
The camera Mom is going to buy is the Canon D400. She's just waiting for the $ to drop - down and in... hee hee.

Screenshot Meme

Eric and Flynn tagged us for dis meme. Lots of kitties has alreedy played so if yoo wants to, go ahead and do da same. Instrukshuns below.

GASP! Can yoo beeleave it? Da beans don't haf a pichsure of us on dare 'puter? Plus it looks like Mom needs to clean up her desktop. Dat's a lot of unused old stuff on dare. Da picshure is of Grace Bay beach in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos which is at da bottom of da Bahamas chain (dey always has to say dat coz know one seems to know where it is but dey haf an idea where da bahamas are). It's a beeeuteeful place and da water reely looks dat color.
So, we had to put a picshure of one of us here . We'll haf to see about adding owr pictures to owr background. Da ofur user screen actually has my honey, Cocoa, on it. It's still not one of US tho! Oh and as Mosaic Lady seys, will someone CUT DA GRASS?!~Angie

Here's how yoo play da screenshot meme:

1) Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun. Here’s how to do it: Go to your desktop and press the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key).
2.Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and doing a Paste (CTRL + V). If you wish, you can “edit” the image before saving it. (If you have a Mac, it's different. You just open the Screenshot programme and click on photo and that's it!)
3.Post the picture on your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop if you want. You can explain why you prefer such a look or why it is full of icons. Things like that.
4.Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktops as well.
5.Add your name to the list of Free Viewers with a link pointing directly to your Desktop Free View post to promote it to succeeding participants.

Wednesday's Wisdom

In order to make anyone else happy you have to make yourself happy first. Then the love can flow and the dark days go away. Just let it happen. The happier you are, the happier you can make those around you.

I wanted to go owtside, da beans let me go owtside. It made me furry happy. Den when I see dem I give them TONS of love and purrs and leg rubs and purrs and kisses. See how it werks?

All For Me Grog


Grog was a mixture of rum and water. It was served to sailors
as a ration aboard British and American naval ships. In later
years it became a more watered down version of the original.
It was served until 1862 in the United States Navy, and until
1970 in the Royal Navy. This tune was a very popular Capstan
and Halyard shanty.


Lyrics

Well it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog,
It's all for me beer and tobacco.
For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin,
Far across the western ocean I must wander.

Where are me boots, me noggin', noggin' boots,
They're all gone for beer and tobacco.
For the heels they are worn out and the toes are kicked about
And the soles are looking out for better weather.

Well it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog,
It's all for me beer and tobacco.
For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin,
Far across the western ocean I must wander.

Where is me shirt, me noggin', noggin' shirt,
It's all gone for beer and tobacco,
For the collar is all worn, and the sleeves they are all torn,
And the tail is looking out for better weather.

Well it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog,
It's all for me beer and tobacco.
For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin,
Far across the western ocean I must wander.

I'm sick in the head and I haven't been to bed,
Since first I came ashore from me slumber,
For I spent all me dough on the lassies don't you know,
Far across the western ocean I must wander.

Well it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog,
It's all for me beer and tobacco.
For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin,
Far across the western ocean I must wander.
