Wow, I feel really old all of a sudden! huh.gif I have a seventeen year old cat that has decided that she should comment on anything that is going on in the house. The other day a neighbor and her grand daughter were visiting when the cat decided to contribute to the conversation, I looked a the cat an asked her "just who pulled your chatty Kathey" and the grand daughter asked me what I had meant by that. blink.gif

Remember the pull behind toy telephone with the moving eyes and the DIAL. Once when my daughter was younger she brought it to me and asked me how you use that kind of phone (no push buttons) That makes you feel OLD!
