And POOF… A cat’s vanished, gone without a trace.

Well, this new “optimized” Forum comes with its qwerks. Like… what happened to my post? Not only forgotten but erased.

But I know it was there, for how long… I don’t. But long enough to test the music link before logging out. Hmm, this is not the first glitch I’ve seen recently. Tift also lost a post a while back containing 2 Laura Marling songs… there long enough for me to listen, but gone the next time I logged in. Guess I need to be checking in more regularly? And then Zuz, the helpful gurl she is 😉 replying to a post made over 6 months back, but magically redated along with many others to the present… Feb 26th, like some time machine. Btw… Thanks ZUZ.

HA, found the original post in my docs 😁 Well it was worthy the first time, so I’ll change nothing, but will add a big Thanks n *HUGZ* Tift.

“Found this along the… Side of the Road… as Anna’s irresistible voice called me back to familiar places. Though Johnette is not as smooth or sweet as Tivel honey… this cat still thought it worthy of a Pussyhound… for obvious reasons. 😉 “

Testing a YOUTUBE music vid link… though this post really belongs in FUNNY FINDS.

Menopause Rhapsody…. hmm, something to look forward too.

This first attempt is pasting only URL link:

This time… with coding (using video src)

TEST: Resizing an image

Original 60×600

Now an attempt at 4010×400

Luvs the attitude in her voice and this Choon…. Maggie def deserving of a seat at this table. 😉 And, my PL too.

Feeling Grateful… current events reminding me of my blessings. My heart and thoughts distracted by those whose lives are being tossed into chaos.

A pebble cast cannot be undone… its Ripples already made.

No cool vidjo or boom, boom of bass to make ya dance… just a “song to fill the air”

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine,
and my tunes were played on the harp unstrung.

Would you hear my voice come through the music?
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

It’s a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they’re better left unsung
I don’t know, don’t really care
Let there be songs to fill the air.

[Kaitlyn1989]

Time to shake it up… add some swagger to my wagger.

Sometimes it’s all about the BASS, a certain boom-boom that turns me into a marionette.
Like the vibe its groove makes me sway… and LUVS that jumpsuit. 😁 Spring IS approaching.

AMY ALLEN – DIFFICULT

At times… we’re ALL a little “Difficult”, especially CATS 😉

[Kaitlyn1989]

Enjoying a Tivel breakfast 😊 Listening to each post… giving these ears something to dine on with my java. This cat savoring the knowledge Two Strangers WAS a virgin listen. mmm, simple pleasures.

“The first time I saw you… was waiting for a train.” That opening line reminding me of the last line in another “slice of life” kinda song. So ofc… couldn’t resist this next one, no matter how different. The subtle connections… shouting at me. 😉

Is it a song, a story or just rambling thoughts? Does it matter? Stripped of instrumental distractions, no tickle of piano keys or twang of guitar strings… leaving naked a single musical essential… a voice wanting to be heard. One of countless.

“And I finish up my coffee… and it’s time to catch the train.”

Suzanne Vega – Tom’s Diner

[Kaitlyn1989]

An unfamiliar sound penetrating the air awakens a feline’s ears. Its howl pitched uniquely, whining thru the breeze most pleasantly in search of an audience. Finding one 😁 enjoyed that. Confesses it’s one of the reasons cats like hanging out in trees… not only for protection but best place to surf soundwaves. 😉

As for Daisey May and that piano bloke… these ears have a weakness for the tickle of piano keys and just like Anna, Daisey May’s lyrics n voice entrap.

Mmm, speaking of Anna 😊 this one’s for turning me onto her. Kinda surprised a hound hadn’t already buried this bone somewhere in the Forum, but all this nose could sniff out was Dust & Magic and The Question. So, before a hound beats this cat to the pounce and hopeful you haven’t yet had a listen…

Anna Tivel – Two Strangers

[Kaitlyn1989]

Oh, a game started by my “Big Blue” Mr Zoe 😘 Ofc, this cat has to leave her stink.

One of my favs early on… The Gilmore Girls and laterz in Parenthood … LAUREN GRAHAM

Then and now, little changed in 20 years… same infectious SMILE and EYES.

[Kaitlyn1989]

Hmm, a curious cat wants to see how compatible we are….

Kaitlyn1989 = 11+1+9+20+12+25+14 = 92 Are numbers irrelevant? 😁 Hopin so for US, if not… went from 92 to 117. oh no, doomed by “science”.

Momma_Andrea = 13+15+13+13+1+1+14+4+18+5+1 = 98

A difference of 6, with me the sub 😜 Mhmm, making it better than a perfect match.

[Kaitlyn1989]

What’s not to like… storytelling with the voice to entrap you.

Hailey Tuck – A bit of You

[Kaitlyn1989]

Hi V *hugs*

Sorry took me so long to find my way here… not like ya needed my approval, blessing or help but do want to give ya my CONGRATZ.

Everyone has their own vision and certainly never goona please everyone… but this Forum dweller approves. 😊 Your heart fully invested… you care. Wish Achat cared half as much and invested a tiny fraction of the time you do. But you’re pretty much on your own… your only support the members. I wish you good luck.

AND while here… Congratulations to you and BWR on your recent 3rd anniversary. May you both never forget or take for granted that which you feel now. Wishing you make it to your forever. 😉

Cats on Trees… a fine place to lounge while listening to choonz. It’s the getting down part me don’t like. Mhmm, poetry with music. A twofer, I’ll lap that up. Cats are greedy, can’t help ourselves… wanting it all. 😉

This cat readily admits the studio version is a better “quality” listen… but to experience THIS song as its poet intended… even with the less than stellar audio is a NO Brainer. Studio just don’t do this song right.

Patti Smith – Dancing Barefoot

“I’m dancing barefoot
hit me where I spin.
Some strange music draws me in
Makes me come on like heroine.”

[Kaitlyn1989]

Hi Tift *hugs*

A preoccupied feline finds her way back to familiar territory. Picking up a friendly scent and echoes of choonz past. The scents remain but the music’s gone silent, a hound let down by a cat. *Well, it was when i entered… began writing.” 😁

NO. It’s not OK that I didn’t reply. Though not a promise, they were MY words. THAT is all I am… here. Failing them, leaves me empty. THAT hurts, gnawing at me. I’ve no excuse but am sorry.

I’ve often referred to myself as a Forum dweller… spending more time here than in game. But it’s a place I find magical, where spirits can be sampled getting a “sense” of them through posts and words without introduction or proximity. I’ve been blessed to find a few special gems here… and one priceless. 😍 at Andrea. Though we’ve only “met” once… you are one of those. I feel a connection in many of your posts… music, poetry and art. Attracted to your spirit like moth to light.

Call me a groupie of sorts 😉 You have added more to my playlist than any other. PERIOD. And while listening… discovering something within. From the Singles to new Artists, you keep me coming back for more. Though I no longer pop in daily… I read your every post, listen to your every song. From Temper Traps Love Lost to Linsey Lou’s Everything Changed… and everything in between.

While too many to share I’ll list my favs… from the Singles

The ones that got me up n dancing…

Reina Del Cid’s – This One’s Gonna Hurt… gets this feline dancing, every time. A no brainer add to my PL along with the playful n infectious Molly Bunch’s Wild 😉 so happy you decided to post it and Ruby Rabbitfoot’s Do Me Right. Ohh, can’t forget the delicious Lady Lamb – Strange Maneuvers either.

The ones that got me listening….

Tanya Davis’s Potatoes and MaMuses Glorious – songs of life’s simple pleasures.
Weather Station – Tamara Lindeman’s meandering storytelling voice in Thirty. Mhmm
Birds of Chicago – Allison Russell’s smooth as honey voice in Superlover. Yummy
Paul James’ Possessed with its catchy riffs and unexpected poignant reminding us a moment lasts but a blink, a memory… lifetime.

Then there are the Artists that spoke to my heart… loving almost everything you shared, and I could find.
From the always easy listening May Erlewine to the one that pierces my heart deepest, Anna Tivel… hooking me immediately with her melody, voice n lyrics. Every song… honey to my ears. “This one’s also for Kaitlyn, I hope it’s acceptable.” Pretty sure that’s a YES. 👍

While it was “love at first listen” for Anna… it was a much longer courtship with Laura Marling. But slowly she relentlessly clawed her way under my skin into my heart one listen at a time. And Dawn Landes… well, she is still workin on me. 😉

I’ve rambled long enough for one overdue post. But before leaving… this cat will drop a choon for the houndz to listen n gnaw on. From an artist who has rocked my soul from the beginning… oops, slight change… seems I’ve already posted that song. TWICE. 🤣 Want something NEW, hopefully something you’ve never heard. For you n yours…
Fiona Apple… I Want You to Love Me

Hope this post finds you well and leaves you smiling as your posts leave me.

Duh… clueless in Texas

Sorry Zuz, now I see whatcha meant. 😉 The same… only different. 😁 Thanks to Jess for the assist.

[Kaitlyn1989]

REMEBER EVERYONE YOU HAVE TO BE SIGNED IN TO SEE THIS FULL SCREEN. I THINK LOL

Hi ya Zuz. Nope 😉😁 seems even us passive observers, my current role, can pop in unnoticed and keep up with all the treats. Though i’ve noticed sometimes the Forum gremlins force you to enter the thread other than clicking on the last post. But i can see everything logged off that i can logged on.

I’m happy to see the Forum growing 😊 Keep posting, you have an audience of at least one.

Wishing you all a safe and blessed Christmas holiday surrounded by those you love… regardless of world. It’s peeps not things that are important.
