My 12 year old kitty has always been happy, healthy and active.  Last week I noticed a dark growth on her belly so I made a vet appointment for her.  A day later, I noticed she wasn’t charging up the stairs like usual.  When I brought her in on Tuesday, the Dr. said we would have to test her blood and if all was okay, do a biopsy to determine what the growth is.  Shea went in today and her belly was shaved and the growth removed.  There was a very dark blue/black oval ring in the same area where the growth was.  I am now awaiting the results.  Has anyone had this type of experience?  Any advise or thoughts are welcome. P.S.  I’ve had strange premonitions for a month about Shea’s health (even though she has been well to this point) and it scares me.  The last time I had a premonition like this it was in regard to my kitty Justi five years ago.  Justi died the day after my feelings were there. This is one of the reasons I’m even more scared.

This is a new one on me, but I just wanted to say that I hope that Shea is all right.  Please let us know when you have some news.

This is one of the reasons I’m even more scared.

My philosophy (sometimes easier said than done) is not to borrow trouble. My cat several years ago had what I was convinced was some horrible form of skin cancer on her face, but it turned out to be a bacterial infection of her hair follicles, the result of years of having a weepy eye that ran down her face.  It took about three weeks to clear it up, but she was fine. Hopefully Shea will have the same kind of luck and this will turn out to be nothing too serious.

Question:

Hello everyone.    I did something I hope can be fixed rather then spending the bucks for a new one.  The warmer weather got me to working on my  (very old) Flightstar.  I am completly redoing the dash and adding new instruments, and I thought I would add a fuel gauge while at it.  I purchased the Skysports capitance model and after reading the directions, cut a hole 2 3/8" wide for the inside flange mount.    Well, I cut on the outside of the line rather then the inside of the line and now the bottom metal flange doesn’t have enough meat to hold on to to form a good seal.  What I think I should have done was just drill a half inch hole, and pre-drilled bolt holes and then slotted just enough to get the metal flange in.  Anyway my problem is this—-I’ve got a gapping 2-3/8" hole in the top of my 10 gallon tank (plactic) of which I would like to seal and then mount the fuel probe on the other side of the tank.  Anyone have any ideas as to how to do it???   Thanks for your help.     Bob

Response:

BoB: << Change the  tank hole to an ellipse larger enough that, across the minor axis, there is enough distance to clear the mounting hardware of the sender unit; Make an oval plate large enough to cover the hole adequately; Make a backup ring for the oval plate; make two gaskets for the cover plate; Mount the sender unit in the oval cover plate, IAW the OEM’s instructions; Drill mounting bolt holes in plate, gaskets, backup ring and tank for mounting; Mount the cover plate over the tank hole with the backup oval ring and two gaskets sandwiching the edge of the tank between; (gaskets will make disassembly easier with the sealant) Bolt it up in a wet lay-up of (Episeal 20/20, Proseal ??) <<< Somebody correct me if there are better sealants for fuel tanks now.

No, *they* knew what they were doing … I’ll try and accurately repeat the way it was explained to me. This person wanted to get a triangle piercing. However, their anatomy was such that a triagle wasn’t feasible since theirs was very high. So a very deep horizontal hood piercing was done, with the ring passing underneath the clit. (If this sounds wrong I can verify it — My knowledge of female piercing is far from complete.)         Shannon

Question:

Hi all. My girlfriend is thinking about getting her navel pierced, so I’ve been gathering all sorts of information on the process (including the FAQ).  We were thinking of having it done at Perforations in Washington, DC. What I am really looking for here is information on Perforations. Does anyone know anything about them – good or bad? I’d appreciate it if anyone has any recommendations for or against them. Also, if you have any general information for a person getting their first pierce (other than ears) – a navel pierce in particular, it would be appreciated. receive it. She is thinking about having it done either 5/26/95 (which means I need any info you have ASAP) or on 5/29/95. Thanks in advance for your help! Duane

Response:

I will be piercing there with Drew this weekend (the 27th and 28th). Advice for a new navel piercing?   Placement should be decided in regards to where the natural fold is.  Jewelry is always selected AFTER placement is decided, or at least after the navel has been examined (size, depth, even its suitability for piercing determine gauge and diameter). Jewelry design can be decided based on daily activities as well as the navel’s construction.   Rings are always the easiest to clean and maintain, although for some a Teardrop shaped ring or curved barbell would be best suited to their daily activity level.   An oval ring is also best for those worried about the ring protruding, or when the navel is waist level (ie. irritated by waist bands).
