> [@swampbear](#): > > **JtC** GG and Bella/Jolene look so sweet together! They only look sweet and innocent, LOL!!! Jolene has to go to the vet for a recheck on her UTI and I’m officially changing her name then. The George of the Jungle and Bella thing was only amusing to me, nobody else got it anyhow. Everyone gets Jolene. Heck, once cousin and hubby had settled down in the living room, Jolene totally ignored Linda to zero in on Ronald. I could tell she wanted to claim another man!!! > [@Kitten\_Mitten](#): > > Lately I’ve been reading a lot of books that I’ve gotten out of the little free libraries in Chicago neighborhoods near where my daughter is living/has lived; quite eclectic choices. Welcome back! I also love the little free libraries. I don’t often take a book, but I always look to see what they have. There was one at the Harley dealership in AZ that always had at least one copy of “The art of Zen and Motorcycle Repair”. I haven’t gotten my library card here…it’s complicated and I am lazy, so I’ve been downloading books AZ. I feel like I shouldn’t be borrowing any of their popular stuff because I’m no longer paying taxes for them, so I’m re-reading some of my old favorites. It can be shocking to read Isaac Asimov and contemporaries with my current eyes, that casual racism and sexism was so normal back then that I didn’t know that it was objectionable. > [@Patx2](#): > > I also had no idea of the, I’ll call it the maniacal loyalty the young kids had to Hitler, and how hard it was for so many of them to come to realize the atrocities he had committed. When things become normalized, it is hard for people to change. Children believe stronger than adults. > [@Misnomer](#): > > That is a _great_ picture. 😃 Thank you! I embraced digital cameras right away. I love being able to take a hundred pics and delete 99 of them. I love your cards, and admire your creativity btw. > [@LH75](#): > > Pretty Girl has a tipped ear. She evidently has had a vet visit and has been spayed. That is excellent news. Hurray for kind people who trap and pay to have wildlings fixed. It make their lives so much better. > [@Taters](#): > > **JtC** , I love the protective leg/arm thrown over Jo-Bella in the picture 🙂 I am so happy this worked out so well. I’m good with feeding suet only. So far. I might change my mind later once I figure out what the local birds eat. And the flying squirrels. I seriously want to sit on our porch in the evenings and watch them swooping around. The hummers have been enjoying their feeder and Jolene likes sitting at the french doors to watch them. For about 30 seconds because she is a teenager and has the attention span of a goldfish. I’m grumbly with you at the vet. I hope they get things figured out soonist. > [@Die\_Capacitrix](#): > > She’s got that other look. Oh yeah. There is no doubt as to who is large and in charge in this home. > [@Die\_Capacitrix](#): > > > [@JaneDoe42](#): > > > > She’s stolen both my men and I’m the one who wanted to bring her home! > > She’s letting you think that. LOL!!! you are so right, we were pretty committed to getting a different cat and even went through the pre-adoption approval paperwork. While we were visiting the cat we had picked, she purred at me and then purred at Hubs. Whatca gonna do? > [@Die\_Capacitrix](#): > > One benefit of it being cooler - it’s much more comfortable to do ironing. No. It is still way to hot to iron. You should probably throw your iron away and pay someone else to do it forevermore. > [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > So **Gentleman Caller** and I are officially back together. I hope things work out better this time around. Please use protection. > [@dogbutler](#): > > \< cancels Tonya Harding hire \> _For now_ you are a very good friend!!! > [@Sticks\_and\_Scones](#): > > He’s trying to reorganize and is having a hard time because space is limited. Would meltdowns happen if you just moved things into your unused art room space? I hope he gets things sorted soon, I hate living in a cluttered, unorganized room and I’m constantly fussing at it until I get it right. Scritches for Annie! We’re gonna need a bigger crows nest.
