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
brrrrrr..... please throw me a towel. pleeeeeezzz...
ReplyDeleteHey, I saw that kitty with the glowing blue eyes as a LOLCat! Meow!
ReplyDeleteLOL--how did you hold the cat and the camera at the same time? Too funny.
ReplyDeleteThose are hilarious!
ReplyDeleteThey look so funny when wet but I'm sure they're lovable when dry.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit.
Its just so undignified, isnt it? LOL! Thanks Gattina, Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Lavender of the birds & the beads
Cute Gattina. My kitties hate baths ....LOL
ReplyDeleteSmiles and Blessings,
Angel ( Angel Mama )
I recognize Rosie (or at least I think I did), was it bath time at Gattina's last night??
ReplyDeletehappy wednesday !
those poor kitties. Hope they got dried up pretty quick. Brr...
ReplyDeleteOn 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!
ReplyDeleteAww There is nothing that looks so funny and sad as a cat that's been drenched! Happy WW
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeletethey do don't seem to like baths, don't they?
ReplyDeleteenjoy WW!
Those cats do not look happy to be wet!
ReplyDeleteThank you for nominating me for the schmooze award...I'm glad I can make people laugh.
ReplyDeleteThose 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!
oh lord have mercy...will you look at 'em! They all remind me of soaked rats! But so cute and funny to see.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nomination. I'm always glad to visit here -- YOU make me smile!
Kitties look so pathetic when they are wet!
ReplyDeleteOh 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!!!
ReplyDeleteWet kitties are so funny looking! They always look so scared with those big eyes. Thanks for sharing. Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteAww those are so adorable. Happy WW.
ReplyDeleteoh how mean to throw a cat in water! LOL great pics!
ReplyDeleteThe eyes have it!
ReplyDeleteAww bless them, I'm amazed at the lack of protective gloves though
ReplyDeleteOh 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.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the schmoozer award!
Is there anything more pathetic looking than a wet cat.
ReplyDeleteThose poor kitties. They look so bedraggled.
ReplyDeletePoor tortured kitties! You must be in violation of some UN resolution or something....
ReplyDeleteAt 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!
ReplyDeleteKitty Torture! That reminds me, mine is in need of a serious bath too...lol! She'll be so happy.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness I have never had a bath. It looks very terrible!
ReplyDeletecongratulations 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteNext week, you should show the owners injuries :)
Oh those poor kittys!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your award!
Miewow - how can so many cats be wordless at the same time - LOL-
ReplyDeleteThis is magic-
Oh my. They don't like this one bit do they? Yikes. What great shots though. Congratulations on the schmoozer award. Have a great WW. :)
ReplyDeleteOh those poor babies!!!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are hilarious! Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteSo how badly do your cats hate you? :)
ReplyDeleteOh Oh How pitiful hehe.. poor kitty cats! Hugs and Purrs to you and Rosie!
ReplyDeleteI'm just giggling...what funny pictures!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Holly
someone sent me the cat bath pictures by Email. Not my idea of a good time (for cat or owner) ouch.
ReplyDeleteSo 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.
Those kiddies don't look too happy...
ReplyDeleteROFL too hard to type. Oh so funny.
