Really?

Blimey ! 34 pointless pages and still going some ...

I like that you're planning more cougar action :o Atta girl!

The mighty Cougars - the MAW army's SAS division. Can I open it to the forum to define what exactly their point is? hides bed jacket in back of the cupboard to gain approval

Crazynanna has redefined Blush as a hot flush emoticon

We must reclaim the Blush for the menopausal maws

Pagwatch · 22/10/2011 17:35

One should never blush at a cougar

BellaDonnaSansMerci · 22/10/2011 18:23

Some whippersnapper in the office called me a cougar last week. I peered with narrowed eyes... And tufted.

ledkr · 22/10/2011 20:12

I am a cougar I am married to a a man 11 years younger Grin I am a happy woman. Purrs and licks sleek fur.

BellaDonnaSansMerci · 22/10/2011 21:12

Tufted? I tutted... I do tend to go for the younger man but being a cougar sounds like you have to make an effort.

I think I may have had my ultimate pointlessness made clear to me today.

DD 'remembered' that she had 2 b'day presents to buy for friends this week. We were at one of those tarted-up Garden centres that sells everything wreathed in Kath Kidston or in pictures of otters and charges a small fortune for the teeniest weeniest bar of chocolate with a picture of a robin on it. We were only there to buy a sack of dog food because it was on special offer. DD spent nearly an hour trying to find presents that would be acceptable. Every time I attempted to make a suggestion or ask if perhaps she could get a move on I was manoeuvred on to a chair and made to 'stay there' and given a pitying glance and a shake of the head. Just a few years ago anything would do if it had a picture of a cat on it, and my opinion was valid...but not now apparently.

I did get to pay though. So I still have a limited use.

Hurrah...Hmm

Ormirian · 23/10/2011 17:07

I am not a cougar btw.

I may be a rather overweight tabby with a sleeping habit and slightly uncertain temper.

Hullygully · 24/10/2011 18:12

That's Orm, self-defined forever in classics:

No, that's about right.

Hullygully · 24/10/2011 20:15

Orm, I see you as more of a komodo dragon, rampant.

Would you like a Corrie part as well?

Yuck! I have quite good oral hygeine thank you!

HullyChristmasgully · 06/11/2012 20:01

oh look!

we were all here!

SarahStratton · 06/11/2012 20:50

This MAW is going to take her clothes wearing small dog for a walkies. If we meet the Boxers from Hell I will bash them over the head with my walking stick.
