> [@JaneDoe42](#): > > I saw an ad on Nextdoor from a lady having a yard sale to help pay for cat food\*. When I got there her grade school son had donated a couple of his toy trucks to the cause because he liked the cats and he offered to demonstrate how they worked while advising me on the fun parts. I did NOT buy a toy truck, I paid 25 bucks for a small glass bowl and hubs has changed our monthly chewy order to include a mongo bag of kibble for them. > > Yes, we are suckers, why do you ask? > > \*apparently her neighbor moved out and left a couple of pregnant females and by the time they were all trapped and fixed she ended up caring for about 15 homeless cats. There are 5 5/6 week old kittens at the barn. Mom was a stray who found us. Kittens are eating solid food now, so guess who bought an 18 pack of Fancy Feast for Kittens and a 20 pound jug of the good kitty litter? Fortunately all kittens are spoken for and mama will get spayed. She is very friendly but wants to live at the barn. I love taking care of those little bundles of precious. ---

Dang, **Cookie** - is that typical of real estate prices there?? Housing markets are crazy in some places!! It looks really nice, tho - hope you get a good offer and a quick settlement. ---

Thanks so much! I can’t wait to try it. Might have to make hot ones AND some mild ones as DH likes it hot and I’m more of a wimp. ---

It’s all relative. My first thought was the price was low. 😃 ---

Afternoon all. Pretty much a **swampy** -level sloth of a day, did get out for about an hour, bought tomorrow’s lunch at Jersey Mike’s so I didn’t have to make another trip there, then decided to stop at Great Clips, and they had a 1:30 waiting list, so I’ll try to get my haircut tomorrow. Am now eating sammiches since the braunsweiger expires today (will have to toss out about 1 sammich worth, not bad for having bought nearly 10 weeks of supply in February). **Cookie** , there is much negative to be said about the state of Ali-bama, but I have 40% more house with a 2-car garage and it’s valued about 1/3 of your property. Hope it all works out to the good for you. **Jane the Cane** , you are good people. OK\< need to type up a message to the lawyer working on my will…she’s got it mostly right, but has it that if my brother dies first, his wife and kids _ **don’t** _ inherit, which IS NOT MY PLAN. So need to give them some more words to work into the document. Have a good evening all and catch you (briefly) on the next MMP. ---

> [@peedin](#): > > Fortunately all kittens are spoken for and mama will get spayed. Excellent news for all involved. I have some very not nice words for people who just dump their pets hoping that kinder people than they are will clean up after them. /mutters under breath/ > [@peedin](#): > > I bet it will sell in a week. I love the kitchen. Agreed, it’s lovely. **shoe** I happen to know fer sure that when you are in the position to be able to do this sort of thing, you will indulge yourself to the fullest! ---

I took a long nap, and dreamed I was putting together Sterilite totes with Peter Capaldi(just like my subconscious to combine two things I love while conscious: organizing and Doctor Who. ) Took the recycling and trash out. Just in time, I’m about to get pasted by a severe thunderstorm. That is a nifty house, **cookie** , but wow on the price. ---

**jane the cane** and **wet one** , you both did good by the disadvantaged puddy tats. You’re my kind of people. You’re selling a nice house **cookie**. I’m guessing it will go fast. I began making a mother’s day card for Nelson’s mother (canine) and a birthday card for his little brother - cousin (two weeks younger than he is). Sis usually gets a kick out of them. 🙂 Now, just surfing before beginning the bedtime routine. ---

The lady posted a pic of the kitties at dinner time. If I’ve done this right…you will see why we folded right away.

How could we resist? (Thanks Bast that they are all fixed.) ---
