It worked. I suppose everyone just took a day off. ;)

I thought the same thing! Where is everyone and I didn't have anything to say. But now I have kind of a ha ha. One of my 5 males, Roscoe, is pretty aggressive and very protective. He is a biter. Joanne explained to me that one of the reasons is because of the closeness of the girls and I found another reason is he doesn't like it when I give his brothers a bath. They squeal, he bites me. Anyway I called just to see how much it would be to get the boys neutered (just a thought). My vet charges $75 a guy. So I tried the vet down the street which I had occasion to go to and I really liked.......$225.00. So I guess the boys will still be boys!

I had one Blue boy who didn't like it when he heard his brothers protesting in their bath too. That was the first time he ever bit me... I was careful with him thereafter.
$75 for a neuter is good... over here, it's $169...
You just have to be more careful with your little guy... no sticking hands or body parts in his face, always have a towel ready and when picking him up: scoop with both hands under him.

I've gotten mail everyday????
I haven't received a single message in 36 hours so and just seeing if I receive this one to rule out any server problems. Thanks.

Speaking of testing, Erika, do you have HTML turned on or a GIF or
something at the bottom of your posts? I'm getting these weird
attachments now at the end of your posts and those who have quoted you
that my Free Agent won't open up or tell me what they are. Especially
strange is how they keep changing size.
Plain text without any attachments or graphics is definitely the way
to go for newsgroups.
Thanks,
Mariette

I have a tagline that appears below my name that says "Lord help me to be
the person my rats think I am. <:3_)~". Do you see that in my messages?
That's the only thing at the bottom and it is automatically inserted by
Outlook Express.

It was a little rectangular box (with my Forte Agent logo in it, and
various small amounts of bytes) just below your really cool tagline,
which has been showing just fine. But now with these two, that
attachment box is gone and everything's fine. And the lines are
wrapping better on these for me also. ???
I'm just not computer literate enough to figure all this stuff out,
unfortunately. All's well that ends well, anyway. :)

That is odd. I don't know what it could be. I view the message source and
don't see anything in the code. *shrug*

Oh, and I do type in plain old text. I only get the HTML gripe from Outlook
when I have a link in my messages.

Today is the first day I've managed to get onto newsgroups since Sunday!
I've been having server problems.

I'll just tag along on your post to test myself--just got back and had to
reset the entire puter.
