Google+

I have been receiving suspicious emails, apparently from family members, that seem to be coming from Google+. If you are sending me messages to try to lure me onto Google+, I remind you that I no longer use such social networks after two friends had disastrous experiences of being hacked on them. If, on the other hand, you are NOT sending me things related to Google+, then you may want to check to see if someone has hacked you -- or if Google+ is using your contact list to push their product.

Just saying!

Beautiful!

A-feline-iative

affiliative: the urge to form friendships and attachments, typically prompting a person to attend social gatherings and join organizations as a way of preventing loneliness and gaining emotional security.

Kathie, my Bookmobile co-worker, is on the Board of the Sauk County Humane Society, and she refers to affiliative animals as those that quickly bond with owners and sometimes act needy for attention and affection, even to the point of becoming a nuisance.

Although Cassidy is the more typical cat, quite happy to take what we hand out and ignore us the rest of the time, Sundance is most affiliative.

This morning, in particular, she is all over the place, following me around, whining and staring. She has been given her morning snack, her food dish and water supply are full, she has been picked up and stroked and had her belly rubbed and canoodled and fussed over.

All to no avail.

Do you think she wants some tuna with that whine?
