Our computer went down yesterday and don't know when we'll be able to get back online. Check JFF for updates, if we can manage any.
That little plug fell out again and windows became so corrupted it wouldn't start. So we'll likely be a while.
You all take care and we hope to see you soon. And if you think of it, you can vote Merci. Info is in lots of posts or you can click on her photo in sidebar.
Meet the Funny Farmers: (l-r) Marcus, Taylor, angel Cyndi, angel Rusty, Micah, angel Merci & angel Percy.

Our computer has a new home
Sam: Remember this computer cart? (That's me in the photo.) Jan bought the cart a couple of months ago so she would have a pull out drawer for the keyboard,but she returned it after 3 days because it was rickety and already coming apart.
Crystal: Not only has Jan had to stretch to use the keyboard on the desk, but our Percy reeeeeeally had to stretch.
Cameron: Yes, he must be at least two inches longer by now.
Sam: Well, yesterday Jan got a surprise. She was talking to a neighbor who mentioned she was moving to help her elderly mom and had some furniture she wasn't taking with her because there wasn't enough room for it. And she gave Jan her computer desk.
Crystal: Jan locked the dogs in the bedroom so they wouldn't run out the door, but we kitties got to watch the move through the back screen door. It was hilarious.
Cameron: Yes, it was fun to watch two women lifting that heavy desk down the two steps at the neighbor's. And then Jan rolled it a couple feet, hit a snag in the walk, maneuvered, rolled another couple feet, hit a snag ...
Crystal: But the best part was when she tried to roll it across the lawn. No way! She had to bring it all the way around to the front. And then they had to lift the desk over that high step for our front walk. That took a while.
Cameron: And then they had to figure out how to get it on the front porch. The porch was too high to lift it so that meant they had to carry it up the steps.
Crystal: But they made it. And here it is.
Crystal: Of course, when they came in the door, I took the opportunity to trot out the door. But Jan caught me just over the sill. I only wanted to sit in the rocking chair on the porch. What's wrong with that?
Sam: Jan has to put in the shelves. She decided not to put the monitor shelf on. Something about fearing the cats would knock it off.
Cameron: Geeeeeeze, as if! And what's with the plywood panel Jan stuck behind it? Does she think we're going to dump the whole desk? Well, maybe, if she rescinds permission to use the computer.
Crystal: We tested the shelves last night but then Jan said she is going to fill them with comptuter-related junk, so we refused to pose on the desk this morning. The shelves should be filled with cats. Period!
Sam: So now Jan has her pull out keyboard drawer. And she's excited because this drawer has enough room on it for the mouse. Humans get excited over the strangest things. But offer one a bone ....

Vote Cyndi Best Model & Merci Cutest Dog
Have you voted for your favorite Catwalk Caturday model yet? Our Cyndi is one of the models.
You can vote on your favorite model on Misha's blog. The voting box is in the sidebar. There are a lot of great models to choose from.
If you haven't seen Merci's second video, click here.
Crystal: We hope you will take a moment to pop over and vote for Merci in the Cutest Dog Competition again today. Every vote is important. Her direct link is:
http://www.cutestdogcompetition.com/vote.cfm?h=194291465301F78C17ECD3F5BA4AB250
Stop by Alasandra, the Cats & a Dog to read about Sophie the kitty who needs a home ASAP.
And Talk To The Paws blog posted a warning about the potential dangers of 3rd party applications on Facebook (or anywhere else), because you have to give them permission to access your account information and if they contain spyware your privacy and computer are at risk.
Jan didn't let us join Facebook so we could play games, so this isn't a problem we would have. We have already checked out a few 3rd party applications and denied them permission, but it is hard to know which applications one can trust sometimes.
This, That & the Other thing blogposted on the dangers of Facebook applications a while back too. It would be good to review it.
Have a good Wednesday.

"Whatever you do, do NOT sign up for any online games with GAMEVANCE.com.. Here's the full explanation of why, as I sent it to Face Book under 'report an ad':
"There are some 3rd-Party applications and games running on FaceBook, and then there are those which come up as ads. I believe this complaint falls into that category, and this is an ad/company that FaceBook should block/disallow in order to retain its credibility as a safe venue. " (You can read the rest here.)

Vote Merci Video 2
Today is Opus' 14th birthday, so we would like to send special wishes for a happy, healthy year. Sassy, Olive and the gang are throwing a surprise party for Opus at the Roman Coloseum, so be sure to stop by Opus & Olive's Cat Naps in Italy for a piece of cake and some sightseeing.
Cotton: We decided to try another video to help promote Merci in the Cutest Dog Competition. The winning dogs get votes in the thousands.
Cameron: Oh good, that means Merci has a very good chance to win this week.
Cyndi: Only if she gets several thousand votes more than she's been getting.
Cameron: Oh, you mean she's not even close?
Cyndi: Not even close! We're sure grateful for her loyal voters, but she could use several hundred new friends to vote for her every day.
Buddy: Well, maybe this video will reach a few more voters. It can't hurt.
Sam: Yeah, by the time this contests ends, we might be able to make a halfway decent video.
Rusty: We already make a halfway decent video. Now, if Jan could just figure out how to make the other half, we'd have a whole one.
Percy: Some days I'm not sure I want to admit being related to you guys. Let's just let the video roll.
