It happens to us all, but I believe everyone is so busy looking for responses to their own posts at times that they don't NOTICE other peoples'...which is not quite the same as being ignored.
well, it feels the same, but the intent is not.
As claayer says, make your presence known. And never start a thread until you are willing to see it disappear with no responses at all!
From where I sit, I see the trees all massed in fifteen shades of green and at the very top, some forty feet above the ground, a spike of lavender presents an invitation to the bees, the birds and asks for propagation of the species. Below the mango tree, the hard green buds of fruit a month away from eating swing back and forth above the bougainvilleas massed in clouds of purple, salmon, white, the palm tree spikes and brown of crotons adding contrast texture to the picture I wish that I could paint. The world is swaying, shining, as the wind and sun fall from the blue, blue sky to spread themselves in lazy playtime, ruffling leaves and steaming as they pass to flirt with curtains clinking metal weights against the dusty mesh of screens which keep nothing out, but let in light and air and sometimes fleas from feral cats in search of supper breakfast, anything to eat. The road itself is melting oozing tar and tangy scent of building while the tumbled earth next door so newly excavated, is raw and reddish brown as though it bleeds as it makes way for human living. From where I sit, I see a world all filled with life, with colour, with forever.
Clues....okay when I go to alex's thread about not meaning anyone on CS I see an ad for GP batteries Barbados.
A few days ago every time I logged an ad for a company her in barbados that makes poster sized prints would pop up and it would be in between posts in threads as well.
I just wondered if
a) anyone else is seeing advertisements for Brbadian productds or
b) if everone is getting personalised advertising.
Screaming at the can of food will not make it open by itself.
If I'm trying to hide behind the window shade so no one will see me I shouldn't let my tail hang down.
I must perfect a death stare to give my human every time I am disturbed.
If I vomit on the carpet after overeating yet again I must stand up and walk away without the slightest hint of a care
I should not assume the patio door is open when I race outside to chase leaves.
If I put a live mouse in my food bowl, I should not expect it to stay there until I get hungry.
The guinea pig likes to sleep once in a while. I will not watch him constantly.
If I bite the cactus, it will bite back.
I will not stand on the bathroom counter, stare down the hall, and growl at nothing (especially right after my human has finished watching "The X-Files").
Television and computer screens do not exist to backlight my lovely tail.
No matter how dangly and attractive they are, my human's earrings are not cat toys.
If I play 'dead cat on the stairs' while people are trying to bring in groceries or laundry, one of these days it will really come true.
My human is capable of cooking bacon and eggs without my help.
The cat food is already dead. I do not need to kill it by swatting bits of it all over the floor.
I am a carnivore. Potted plants are not meat.
I will never be able to walk on the ceiling, and staring up the wall and screaming at it will not bring it any closer.
It is not a good idea to try to lap up the powdered creamer before it all dissolves in the boiling coffee.
The goldfish likes living in water and should be allowed to remain in its bowl.
If my human wants to share her sandwich with me, she will give me a piece. She will notice if I start eating it from the other end.
I cannot leap through closed windows to catch birds outside.
The large dog in the back yard has lived there for six years. I will not freak out every time I see it.
If I must give a present to my human's overnight guests, my toy mouse is much more socially acceptable than a live cockroach, even if it isn't as tasty.
Even though I hear voices in my head, I do not have to answer them.
