Howdy Y’all! Today I have managed to re-order meds and spent two hours on the phone with ATT to clean up a mess they made. :mad: I finally got to talk with someone helpful. Thus I did not make it to the nursin’ home which is just as well as it’s been rainy all day so I’m glad to stay in da cave. OYKW and I will go tomorrow and have N.O.L. at a really good Mexican place in large and in charge Dawson. Seriously. This is a good Mexican restaurant.
{{{Sonny}}} hope all turns out for the best re Pooka Bear. It’s tough to make a decision but we know you’ll do what’s best for him. Sorry the folks won’t return your calls about Pepper.
Butters yay for Scooter feelin’ better.
Nuts perhaps a street corner with the case open would be a good place to practice the fiddle.
I re-homed her because I had back surgery in the middle of December and will be on limited activity for about 6 months. I feel like she died. I miss her so much.
Anyway, the people did get back to me. I will see her sometime in the next few weekends, so the kids can come too.
Spidey Weird. It’s like parts of a government website don’t coordinate with other parts.
Yeah, I could take inspiration from a busker where I used to live: she had an accordion, and would set up right outside a shop doorway and produce horrendous squeals until one of the staff gave up and gave her money to go away.
Could pay off the student loan, I reckon
When I wrote my morning post about 5am, it was 61F out; it’s now nearing 3pm and the temperature is down to 31F, heading for the teens tonight. So went out and ate a Logan’s Roadhouse (the meatloaf was terrible and so was the service) and did a little shopping (vegetables and frozen White Castle cheeseburgers; single-man shopping) but think I’ll stay put the rest of the day. Signed up to referee 5 indoor games tomorrow, so that should get me some exercise.
Butters, nice when a 70,000 ton ship brings your friends to visit. And glad the cat is doing well.
Nut, I’m sure you can find a place to practice; hopefully people won’t be dropping coins in front of you…
Sunny, I know you’ll do what’s best for Pooka Bear; keep us informed.
And as for Czarcasms MMP name, HRH is fine, I would’d suggested Ivan the Terrible or just Ivan. But yours does the trick.
Speaking of whom, animals have an ability to survive (at least for a few moments) from car hits; hopefully Cerridwyn will feel, if not better, at least accepting her(?) place in the Circle of Life.
I think that I am real; therefore I am going to eat a cheeseburger for dinner (apologies to Rene Descartes).
**Nuts **Good luck with finding somewhere to practice. A friend of mine used to be allowed to practice at a local fire station.
I have a violin but I haven’t touched it yet. I also have a guitar, with the same situation. So many instruments, not enough time to learn them all.
I practice my clarinets in my apartment. I haven’t gotten any complaints, though I already know how to play my clarinets.
Gotta bring the bass clarinet into the shop to gt it fixed.
My friend in my band who plays bass clarinet (and I play alto clarinet there) got some sheet music where the name of his instrument got cut off, so it says “ass clarinet” on it. :eek:
sari, Nelson is still at the stage where he has to get weighed for heartworm meds too, but that’s almost over since he’s pretty much as big as he’ll get. If you are using topical flea/tick treatment, Chewy has a good price on it.
My new boss shooed us out by 11:30 telling us that she didn’t want to kill us off her first week. I swung through the Pubic Sto’ for a few comestibles on the way home. Everything else was more expensive than Kroger, but I got enough coffee and tea on BOGO to keep me well caffeinated for a month. My car was iced up when I came out of irk, so’s I’m gonna stay in this evening. Thinking a garden salad with some chicken on it and a grilled cheese for supper.
We have supped. The temp is droppin’ but not as drastic as MetalMouse reported. It is supposed to get below freezin’ tonight maybe high 20s. Ah well, da cave is warm and dry so it’s all good.
Last night when I took Nelson out for his last walk, it was 62F. When we came in a few minutes ago, it was 31F. The temp dropped by half in 20 hours. :o There was also a dusting of crunchy snow on the ground. It was Nelson’s first time with any kind of precipitation than rain. Y’all stay warm!
Ripple has had a little experience with snow, but nothing more than a few inches. He is not impressed, and hops around on three legs as he alternates which foot is not going to touch the ground.
I look forward to when he gets to experience some real snow.
I want to get it on my phone.
The cat does not like snow at all.
Ripple gets some kind of pill for flea control. I don’t know why he doesn’t get Frontline or something like that. I forgot to get more Frontline for the cat, but since he is not allowed outside anymore I probably don’t need it anyway. The brat used to stick around the house but he started getting bold and crossing the street. The neighbor said she missed him because he used to sit on her side of the porch and greet her when she got home from work.
Higgs is on an oral flea and tick repellent, but it’s not a pill - it’s like the heartworm meds - a little chewy treat. It works so much better than the topical stuff. Our cats don’t go out, so I don’t put flea stuff on them. Since Higgs doesn’t bring any in, we don’t have a feline flea problem either.
Supper was pizza. Yum. Tomorrow, we’ll grab a McBreakfast, then go to Lowe’s for paint. Big task will be painting part of the basement. **FCD **will fire up the fireplace insert before we leave, so it should be nice and warm down there by the time we get back. It’s gonna be cold tomorrow. Not amused.
I guess it’s true, they are chewy treats, not pills.
To me anything oral is a pill.
Mackie wasn’t going to take either one without a lot of trickery.
Ripple will eat anything, including a pill or half an aspirin. If he hesitates all I have to do is pretend I am going to eat it and he wants it.
I wonder how long he will be this easy.
I did go to irk after all; dammit our first Site Leader all those years (3) back just trained me too well. The roads were fair and things just turned crappier about 30 minutes after I got home. I am both ashamed of myself and proud of myself at the same time. Its part time sorting boxes but dammit one could be going to someone I know. So I want it to arrive tomorrow like its supposed to.
Dinner was a BLT without the T ---- just the way I like it with some horseradish sauce for extra bight.
We had a 2-3 week long Arctic blast; last weekend I had to cxl a nighttime photo shoot because it was too cold; the past two nights I’ve been out in shorts; 60°+ difference from last weekend. This has me :mad: because Imma s’posed to be on snowshoes on Sunday & it may get altered iffn there’s not enough snow up there; the only snow left here is what was originally piled up. IT was cool (no pun intended) last night, as the wind would blow of the remaining piles of snow you’d see a little cloud blow across the street.
I think of Crazy Ivan; I like Czarcastic or Sarcastic.
I get the (non) hero award of ::checks watch:: (yester)day. I called the FD out because I heard a smoke detector/fire alarm from one of the maint builidings at the back of the golf course when I was going past. Turns out that building is, at least partially, bathrooms & it was condensation that tripped the alarm. I did the right thing by calling it in but it ended up being a BS call.
