WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us



Sanni from Coffe 2go has honored me with this award ! The meaning of a "Smoozer" apparently is as follows :


As it goes, schmoozing is the natural ability “to converse casually, especially in order to gain an advantage or make a social connection.” Good schmoozers effortlessly weave their way in and out of the blogosphere, leaving friendly trails and smiles, happily making new friends along the way. They don’t limit their visits to only the rich and successful, but spend some time to say hello to new blogs as well. They are the ones who engage others in meaningful conversations, refusing to let it end at a mere hello - all the while fostering a sense of closeness and friendship."


The word "smooze" comes out from the yiddish word schmuesn, late 19th century ! According to the definition I feel now like a Blog snail, sliding through Blogworld and leaving friendly, slicky, trails ! At least I have never got an award with such big biceps !


As I have to find some other schmoozers I thought about Melli who always makes me laugh with her posts and comments, even when she has problems or says she is not in a good mood ! She doesn't slide through blogs but rather rocks !


Hootin Anni is about the same kind ! She writes and comments with all her heart and makes me laugh too !


Puss-in-boots from Australia informs me about life over there and so good that I want to see for myself ! She loves white wine as I do and makes me laugh when she talks about her neighbor friends, cats or her job.



And here is my WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

  10. On dirait des greemlins!!! Quelle horreur! Heureusement après ils sont encore plus beaux et tout soyeux. Mon Félix le pirate aurait bien besoin d'un bain! Mais comme tu sais il a été abandonné et a beaucoup souffert alors c'est shampoing sec pour lui!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Aww There is nothing that looks so funny and sad as a cat that's been drenched! Happy WW

  12. I feel sorry for the poor creatures! Can't cats bathe themselves? I shower with my dogs and my parrot loves his bath/shower. But the poor kitties! They don't look at all happy.

    ReplyDelete
  13. they do don't seem to like baths, don't they?
    enjoy WW!

  14. Thank you for nominating me for the schmooze award...I'm glad I can make people laugh.

    Those poor cats made me laugh...none of them look particularly impressed with being bathed...apart from Rosie and she is the only dry one...lol!

  15. oh lord have mercy...will you look at 'em! They all remind me of soaked rats! But so cute and funny to see.

    Thanks for the nomination. I'm always glad to visit here -- YOU make me smile!

  16. Kitties look so pathetic when they are wet!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Oh no! Look at all those thin buddies! You know what, in my country there's a superstitious belief that if you bathe cats, it would rain! Now I know why we're all getting bad weather here in Europe!!! I blame it on all you Gattina :) lol!!!

  18. Wet kitties are so funny looking! They always look so scared with those big eyes. Thanks for sharing. Happy WW!

  19. oh how mean to throw a cat in water! LOL great pics!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Aww bless them, I'm amazed at the lack of protective gloves though

    ReplyDelete
  21. Oh Gattina - those are hilarious!! I think I know what the second one, the grey tabby with yellow eyes, feels like. I'm with ya, man.

    Congrats on the schmoozer award!

  22. Is there anything more pathetic looking than a wet cat.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Those poor kitties. They look so bedraggled.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Poor tortured kitties! You must be in violation of some UN resolution or something....

    ReplyDelete
  25. At LAST! An award for talking too much! Well, thanks for THAT nomination my friend!!! I am deeply honored! I will try to find some time to pass it on - but it might not be until SUNDAY! I'm swamped! LOVE your WW - those humans should be shot! ROFL!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Kitty Torture! That reminds me, mine is in need of a serious bath too...lol! She'll be so happy.

    ReplyDelete
  28. congratulations for the award. we have a lot of cats in my grandmas place but we never gave them a bath because grandma told that a strong storm come when cats take a bad.

  29. I called my kids in for this one. They want to bathe our Maine Coon, Kali. They've now decided it's not a good idea.

    Next week, you should show the owners injuries :)

  37. someone sent me the cat bath pictures by Email. Not my idea of a good time (for cat or owner) ouch.

    So that schmooozer is really an award. Someone else had it on their blog and I though they were kidding.
    Appreciated the little background info on it. I've heard the term many times growing up (my mom used it) and I wondered about its origin.

  38. Those kiddies don't look too happy...

  39. ROFL too hard to type. Oh so funny.
