Before we got the litter robot, I used to drag the plastic litter boxes outside, dump them, fill them with water and a couple of glugs of bleach and then pour the cat pee bleach water on the weeds cause nothing could survive that, right? Nope, I had very clean and healthy weeds. I was talking to a professional landscaper about it and he almost died trying to not laugh. Uria is often used in liquid fertilizers and a glug of bleach in a gallon of water isn’t enough to kill flies. > [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > Sometimes, ya gotta go look at a rainbow for a second. Oh yes. > [@missred](#): > > Got the Sunday chores done, messed around with some Steampunk stuff in the studio I love the top hat! > [@Baker](#): > > The chocolate pudding filling is a recipe from that same grandmother I already mentioned and is not hard to make. It is cooked but no eggs. I wouldn’t mind a copy of the recipe if you wouldn’t mind. How is your shoulder? I’m guessing it is doing better if you can type complete sentences. > [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > Took on a full load of Pot Roast We went grocery shopping this morning and found a hunk of cow in the used meat bin. Half of it went into the freezer and the rest went into the slow cooker. I despise cooked carrots so I used big chunks that are easy to pick out. I considered making a green salad but lost track of time. I’ll make tacos tomorrow and load them up with lettuce and tomatoes. > [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > _The Nine Billion Names of God_ by Arthur C. Clarke I knew what that was without checking the spoiler. Well…actually, I knew who had written it and was remembering them on the mules while digging around for the name. A couple of stitches and counting later, it came to me. > [@Kitten\_Mitten](#): > > **JtC** Wish I had known about those diabetic socks 10+ yrs ago. Homeless shelters always beg for socks and unders. They really treasure diabetic socks because so many homeless have uncontrolled diabetes. > [@Kitten\_Mitten](#): > > I’m so happy for you. At first when your Hubs mentioned WV as a possible landing place, you really weren’t very enthused about it, AFAIR you were not on board at all. Thank you! It was Kentucky I wasn’t happy about, I have wanted to live in WV since I first visited. I REALLY wanted to keep his parent’s home and rent it out until we retired, but he sold it while he was mourning. He thought I wouldn’t survive a winter in WV without realizing that once I retired I would just drink coffee while looking at the snow from inside. And then the world ended. And things got bad, but then they got better. It is so wonderful here. TC friend was raised in VA and misses it there. She’s going to come and visit next month because she wants to live in a lower cost of living area as well. Fingers crossed that she finds something close. > [@Kitten\_Mitten](#): > > we both want to take some Tai Chi classes. I’ve googled and found some possibilities. Sun Tai Chi is best for us old farts. It focuses on balance and stretching, no violent motions like self defense TC. I know that you will enjoy it. And now Jolene is back in heat. FML. She started displaying and GG ran off and hid in the cabinet. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-be-labor-ing-a-point-an-end-of-meteorological-summer-mmp/1006602)._
