Since it seems that some people think we are crazy, we thought we'd let everyone into our minds for a few minutes.

We are an elderly couple married for a mere 65 years and we love cats. We enjoying gardening, feeding our fish, and watching our cat. Skittles' father is obsessed with this internet thingamabober. He's looking into getting his RHCE soon. Social Security is not providing enough for Skittles catnip habit and he will hopefully begin a new career in Computer Science soon. His previous career of career of coal mining didn't leave him with a pension and his gold mining effort didn't quite pan out. Who couldn't do without a fresh faced 87 year old network security admin?

Ok, how about some Q. A.

Are you crazy? No, but we may or may not have had some episodes in our youth involving steak knife throwing (sorry bro) and/or swinging baseball bats at others skulls (sorry sis). Next Question please.

Why do you call yourself Mommy and Daddy when you obviously aren't the parents of Skittles? Well, "Human Man" and "Human Woman" didn't quite work, and small children understand the terms mommy and daddy better. (Really, it's for the kids.)

Who reads this? Kids. Kids tend to read the diary while the adults tend to read the information. If you notice we try not to swear in the entries.

Why do you do this? Because sometimes Skittles does some really ridiculous things and it is funny as H-E-"Double Hockey Stick". Also, there are quite a few (hundred) elementary school children that visit this site and they are what keep us writing.

Are you really just a couple of old people? Are you sure you want to know? Actually we are both twenty-something computer nerds with an affinity for Linux, industrial music, sharp shiny objects, and/or firearms. What, were you expecting a store clerk and a stay at home mom? (Not that there is anything wrong with either of them.)

Does Skittles really kill lizards? Yep. That most definitely isn't a fake that Skittles is attacking in that picture to the right. It went out the door a few minutes later. It was getting kind of gross.

Would you like a padded cell? Only if it's paid for by someone else and I get to have internet access, tv, and phone privileges.

Why do you keep an archive?  Come on, tell me that a cat getting wacky on catnip isn't funny. Skittles drools over this stuff.

Why do you take Skittles out for walks on a leash? To impress the neighbors of course. Why don't you? Besides, have you seen the price of a ticket for violating a leash law? Around here it isn't pretty.

Does Skittles know anyone famous? She'd like to think so. There are some famous people that now about her.

That's it for now. Maybe one day we'll put up the original about us pages, but for now, this is enough.
