Probably a dilute tortie or a dilute calico.  I used to think that this

My 8-year-old daughter has been devouring books by Enid Blyton (in the
"Five...", "The ... of Adventure" and "The Mystery of..." series).
She's read the ones I have from my childhood, and our local library
system has very few.  I've picked up the odd one at bazaars or
rummage sales.

Does anyone have any old Enid Blyton books that they'd like to

I posted this message to ont.general and alt.beer already. So my apologies if
you are reading this for the second time. I only got two replies from the
above news groups! I just cannot believe that no one in net land living in
Toronto is interested in purchasing good beer for half the price. So
here it goes again...

There is now a way to purchase good beer at half the price in Toronto. Here
is the deal. There is a store in downtown Toronto where you can brew your
own beer. All you have to do however is throw in the yeast and come back in
two weeks to bottle the beer (this takes approximately 20 minutes of your
time). The store prepares the beer for you and they have quite a choice to
choose from: pilsners, ales, lagers, stouts, ... So far I have enjoyed all
their brews. Legally you brewed the beer as you put the yeast in. Before the
yeast the "beer" has no alcohol and hence does not fall under the regulations
of the fascist LCBO. All the store is doing is providing a service to make
your brewing easier and hence they don't need a liquor licence.

If you are interested, send me e-mail and I'll give you more info (prices,
address, deals)...

cheers,

PS: I have no ties with the store, I am just a happy customer who wants this
store to do well so that I can use its services until I leave T.O.

Umm, my tortie and the others I have known have been solid, with no white

not a white marking and is usually cream on a tortishell coat.  White

You've never seen a tortiseshell cat?  In some areas, calicos are called
tortiseshell and white.  Torties don't have white, just the red and black
(or the dilute versions thereof) and may be solid or tabby.  

On your tabby, brown tabbies have black markings over a greyish-brown
base.  Often these cats have red in the undercoat, causing those who don't
know cat colors to think that they are calico.  
I've found that most vet techs (and vets for that matter) don't know much
about animal colors.  Out of 7 cats I've had, only one was consistently
listed under the correct color, and she was a tortie.  My others are/have
been a blue tabby, a brown tabby and the rest ruddy or brown ticked.  The
two tabbies tend to be listed as grey tigers (both have broken
stripes/spots and heavy ticking) and unless someone has seen an Abyssinian,
I am asked what color the others are.  We go through the same thing with
my parents husky cross, who is usually listed as black and tan but is actually
sable and cream.  I always have to insist that my grey horses markings are
filled out on his health papers, too.

I suppose I wouldn't care, but I travel around the US and through Canada
with these animals, so I prefer that the health papers match the animal in
question.  At least my 2 home dogs are easy-black and tan.:)

This is NOT meant as a flame, just as information that your friend may or
may not be aware of (many people are and many aren't). There are a great
many things that a person suffering from allergies can do to reduce or
completely eliminate the reaction. Many doctors will not bother mentioning
this option unless pushed, their opinion is generally that one should just
remove the cats and not bother with alternatives.

I can get more information to you if this is of interest. Obviously I don't
know the position of your friend, it is quite possible that she has already
tried this route and it has failed.

I know you're posting this for a friend, but I should point out that purebred
siamese cats do not come in the colours black, and marbled grey and orange.
Black is a common colour for a cross between a siamese and a domestic cat, and
heavens knows what the grey and orange is (colour point?). True siamese cats
only come in "points", ie their feet, faces, ears, and tails are a different
colour than the rest of the body. The accepted colours are seal, chocolate,
lilac, lynx, flame, and colour points. Purebred siamese also have brilliant
blue eyes, whereas most siamese/domestic crosses don't.

Just for you people out there who don't know the difference - purebred siamese
cats are worth quite a lot, halfbreeds are quite common, I have a black half
siamese, price wise they are considered as domestic cats (ie pretty well
free).

There is a Bartenders school on the Danforth just west of Broadview
(subway station's right there).  I can't remember the name, but the address
is 744 Broadview ave.  I know that because it's beside this Scuba-oriented
travel agency, SC Travel. If you want, call SC and ask Rick for the name
(& number) of the Bartenders school beside him. (# is 461-2432).

A friend of mine took the course at this school, and said it was really fun.
Last night they had a shooter party.

There are at least two places around the university that offer frames
for UofT diplomas.

The gift shop in Simcoe Hall is one, but I dislike their frame.  It is
basically a black frame around broad off-white matting surrounding a
narrow black border, with some gold trim thrown in.  I don't like the
colour scheme.  (After I got one, I put picture in it instead of my
diploma).  You put your diploma in the frame yourself.  These were $40
about a year ago.

The bookstore has frames which are, in my opinion, the "standard".  It
has the broad blue matting surrounding a gold border around the
diploma.  Frames are either gold or wood grain.  The blue matting has
the crest embossed in gold.  Again, you put your diploma in yourself,
but it is very easy do with one of these frames -- it has rotating
clips to hold the matting down, not frustrating nails or pins.  They
are located in the the clothing and souvenir section on the upper level
of the UofT bookstore.  These cost $50.  I recommend these.

If you're willing to fork out more bucks, there's a very good
children's bookstore called Tiddley Pom on that street just
behind the King Edward Hotel that begins with C... Ah, Colbourne,
that's it.  The owner (a wonderful woman who's read every blessed
thing in the store, I swear) has the best collection of hard to
find English books I've seen.  I suspect she smuggles them in
from trips.

I've seen books from another of Blyton's series (something about
girls in a school) there, too.

These stores seem to be springing up like mushrooms all over the Toronto
area. There are two that have set up shop in the last 6 month within 1 mile
of my house and I live out in the boonies (Richmond Hill). I suspect the 
reason no one has responded to your post is because if they are interested
they already know of one of these stores in their own neighborhood.
