She’s strange. I like her brand of strange.

#1:She’s afraid of all Animals.  
I asked her Why?,  
She said it was an unfortunate accident at a zoo. Boy, oh boy I’d like to know that Story.

#2: She doesn’t watch TV. The one in this room is on 24/7.  
But…she does love the theme songs. Sings them loud and proud.

#3: She will not steal me extra food on my tray.

all of this theft is pre-approved by the director, as long as it’s safe for me to eat

#4: She’s never married, no children, parents dead. One Sister she hasn’t seen in years.

My perfect companion. I’ll get all of her attention.

I’m bad bad bad for-sure

Have you started the adoption papers, Beck? 😃

I’ll have to call my shyster Lawyer Licky-lips.  
He’ll lock it down, for a fee, that is.

Is that her real name, or do you just call her that because she puts in your IV?

I have to admit, I keep wondering if she’s a redhead, who likes plants a lot.

You must be bad, bad, bad if Ivy’s goodness has you over a barrel. Is it karma? Or is overcoming her goodness a mental therapy project that has been assigned to you?

Maybe the director should let the kitchen know that you need bigger food portions.

Beck had a small procedure done today. That’s why she ain’t tormenting us with her antics. I’m sure she’ll be back in a day or two. So, sit tight Beck Fans!

Thanks for the update.

And it’s not a small procedure if it’s being done to our Beck! Hope it works well.

I hate that I somehow didn’t see this thread until today. I mean, I LOOK for Beck threads daily. I really do. Of course, with my vision…

Beck, I hope you recover from the procedure feeling better than ever and that you post again soon. Right now I’m imagining Ivy promising you delicious morsels and wheeling you through a door in the basement labeled “Zombie Room.” I hope the reality is that you’re having way too much fun with stray cats, dogs, and Chippendale dancers to deal with the likes of us.

We lurves ya, Beck.

@Gatopescado, that’s kind of an unnerving post; though I’m not sure which of you to be worried about.

Okay, I posted ‘no contact’ and within 30 seconds of hitting Reply, my phone went off. I deleted the original post…

She’s fine.
