...defiling the Inner Sanctum

when I walked in the door after church...
accompanied by dogsong & frolic...
I instantly knew that decorum had been breached...

besides the red cat food dish that was laying on the floor...
licked clean within an inch of it's life...
there was also a yellow one, in a similar condition...
as well as a FF can pull top...

following the debris trail into the hall...
my fears were realized...



the bedroom had been successfully stormed...

Fluff was keeping a low profile in her farthest nest....
Charlie was in her usual corner nest...
Mattie was on the bed...
Creamer was looking for any remaining food...
and there were cans...
swiped from the trash by a clever canine...
licked clean & strewn about the floor...

*sigh*

so I picked up the dishes...
returned the yellow one to the bedroom...
picked up and threw away, again... the cat food cans...

fed the little bounders...
and took Molly on a quick walk around the block...

currently...

Thomas is haunting me...he's not pleased with the "old food"...
[it was opened this AM...
but stuck "away" when they didn't finish it...]

Molly has her eye on it...and is lobbying,hard...
if I throw it out, I'll have to take it outside...
& I don't want her eating "old" catfood...

I've been trying to send a text message to MM...
she sent me one this AM that I didn't get...
& I'm trying to figure out why...
the phone was on...& I had "bars"...

I got one once before from one of the FFers...
but I didn't get this one...

so I decided, after reading the manual...
to send her one...

I followed the instructions...
typed in her name, as she is in my contacts list...
and "sent it"...

then... in a minute or so, I got back a notice...

that I needed to use the 10 digit number...
or the "accepted" short number...

huh ?

NOT covered by my manual...
[I have a Sprint Treo 755...]

I did what they told me to...
since MM's number was in my phone...
I typed in her first name...
and it filled in the rest...

I think...

*sigh*

there was also an "alert"...
that the message was "pending"...

I am either a dork...

or just way behind the times...

if I was still teaching...I'd know how to do this...
some kid would have shown me how by now...
or made fun of me until I got someone else "young" to show me how...

now I know how the dinosaurs felt...
