Mommy ML will be in charge of all that, with Mom Robyn helpin wif teknikel stuff and whatnot, and some hapless volunteer acting as backup. (Psst What’s hapless? And why are the humans rollin their eyes?) We’re reely excited!  We fink it’ll be lotsa fun! Woo hoo!

Ham Party!

Miles Meezer wrote: Hey efurryone! Even though I DID NOT steal 16 tons of ham from Australia (oh, and thank you everyone for the alibi’s, the police are gonna have fun chasing them all down) I strangely have a LOT of ham lying around the house and in the freezer and in the fridgerfrator and packed in the snow on the patio. So, I am having a ham party on Thursday! Stop by and help yourself to ham steaks, fresh ham, ham hocks, deviled ham and ham and eggs. Oh, plus lots of cheese for ham and cheese sammiches.
UPDATE: at 7:00 EST we will be moving the Ham Party to Chatzy for a couple of hours for party games and ceiling walking and chatting!

Parker wrote: Please help me promote my auction for Projeact HAM! I have a great holiday ornament and stocking up for auction! Details are on my bloggie!

Derby wrote: I would like to bring up a discussion point and throw it open to the group. Earlier this week someone took a picture off of Chase’s blog and then used it badly. We probably all all guilty of taking a picture, even if it was done with good intent. I know I did that when I had my big party last year, honoring all of the October kitties.
I have my blog as "All Rights Reserved" which really people should ask first, but we don’t. So should we put in some guidelines within the group? What we allow and what we wont? Or make sure everyone asks first? Just thinking and now I need a nap. There is a big sunny place just for me. Bye. Purrs.
