I hope I am not breaking any copy right laws by plagiarizing the title of a section from my high school newspaper that ran back in 1986, '87 and '88. I was a San Angelo Central Bobcat back in the day. Our newspaper, The Campus Corral, ran a section where the editors ( I was the ad editor) gave "paws up /down" to different school events/happening. For example:
Paws Up To >>>
The Lady Bobcats for making regionals
The Drama department for wining state
The cheerleaders for blah blah
Paws Down To>>>
Drinking and Driving
Smoking in the boys room
Tutorials during lunch
You get the idea. My friend (Hi Anita) and I made fun of this section to the point we incorporated "Paws up" or "Paws down" into our vocabulary. Almost 20 years later, I still bust out with a "Paws up/down" comment from time to time. With it raining outside, the thermometer barely hitting 80, high school football and Mexican food on the agenda for tonight, no errands to run , and no places I have to be today... I just have to say PAWS UP TO FRIDAYS!
Here are a few more in no particular order if you care to paws with me....

I agree about the people from Mississippi, paws up to them! Paws up to great friends like you.
Oh, and congrats on getting a Rosa's, I know you are excited.
OK, what is Rosa's Tortilla Factory? Should I be getting excited?
I feel the same way about the people (and government) in MS.
And, I don't know where you live, but where I do, it is still bikini weather, not sweater weather!
Yes Elizabeth you should be very excited!!!
And I guess ths sweater thing was just wishful thinking last Friday am when the rain kept it cool in the morning. Saturday was SOOO hot! Whatever happened to Fall?
