Brightspot I agree that there are terrible predators lurking on the internet, but I think as long as we don't associate a real name or location of a child with a picture, including a school, that the risk is greatly reduced. It's still icky and scary to think about.

BF I like the name Snert too - LOL.

Nonie was the cat's name before we got him. He was rescued from the wild (feral) by our elderly neighbors' Portuguese household helper in Arlington, VA. Nonie probably means something in Portuguese. After she passed away, then our neighbor sold us his house before he passed away, stipulating that Nonie was part of the house deal. He knew that we'd take good care of Nonie, and we were the only other people by then that Nonie trusted (being still pretty feral). I was his first outsider that he completely trusted, as I could just pick him up and turn him on his back like a little baby in my arms, and he'd be so relaxed. I miss him so much it makes me cry, as we decided to let him stay with my dear XH. (Breaking up is hard to do.) Although I have permission to bring him here to TV, we think he wouldn't like being so restricted here in TV. Up there he can go out and catch mice in our neighbor's miniature jungle in his back yard anytime he wants to go out his little pet door. I need to go visit him.. wah... Sorry to blab on so long....
