To celebrate National Cat Day, I refilled the cats’ kibbles dispenser. Beyond that, I’m pretty sure my felines don’t care. 
As though a cat needs more reason to regard a human as their servant than usual. 
The cats saw Mrs. Plant’s (v.3.0) flying squirrel this morning and she threatened them with death.
Up, caffeinated, off to work.
I’m pretty sure Princess Allie thinks that’s every day. 
Well, in honor of that I’ll tell you that the Cat scan was normal.
The Dog scan, on the other hand, has left me home from work today sick with a cold. This is a weird feeling, or rather a guilty feeling. But I am feeling rather blah. Just woke up from nap #1 and looking forward to a 2nd one later.
Rosie,
How does one translate chicken shit into Hebrew?
What does it mean, “Hara shel tarnegolim”?
Phase one of planting is complete - I’ve put liriope around the pavers we put down last month. There are a few more clumps that will go behind the azaleas next to the house to help contain erosion from when the gutters overflow. I’ve also got a couple of iris and some creeping phlox that I’ll stick out front somewhere. Later. I need a break now - for the end of October, it’s way too hot and humid out there!! Kinda makes me wonder why I bothered to shower.
Whew!
I’d use Yiddish

As for “Hara shel tarnegolim” the literal translation is “Created of Rooster”; but I sense colloquially, it’s very different
Happy Hump Day!
It’s cloudy, wet and rainy.
Good day to sleep.
Planting is done for the day. I can’t tell if the rain will hit us or not - it’s going more north than east. We shall see.
I’ve got a basket of whites to be folded - guess I should tend to that. Good times!!
Some bastige got ahold of my debit card number and sold it. I’ve spent most of the morning answering calls from my Credit Union: “Mr. Vunder, is this charge in Great Britain at a shoe store for $260 valid?”
As always, the answer was “No, dammit. It’s fraudulent.”
I hope everyone involved in skimming my card, selling my number, and using it for a fraudulent sale gets jaundice worse than mine so they itch more than I do, then the lot of them is tossed buck nekkid into a pile of dead cactus. :mad:
>Tries to look innocent.<
We have an electrician here at the house now and he smells like pencil shavings. 
Didn’t miss 'em - I kept an eagle eye on the candy aisle back with the trend to make dark chocolate versions of stuff first started. This is a 2-pound (yep!) bag that’s been living in my freezer** and while I tend to only nibble on snacks at home, I snack like a snacking monster if snacking was about to be outlawed by the snack police while I’m at work. It finally occurred to my slow self to bring some in a baggie to my desk.
Homicidal impulses have been decreased.
- *throws kitty treats into the air in lieu of confetti **
** … which some kind co-workers gave me back when The Other Shoe was first hospitalized. (“Here. You probably … uhh … need some chocolate.”) I had so little appetite while he was ill, and then even less after he died, that I still had about 2/3 of the bag up till last week. They remind me of those horrible dark days, but they also remind me that my co-workers cared enough to hook me up with a sack of chocolate the size of a bunny rabbit.
In related news, I’m so tired of every damn last little thing reminding me of him. He liked this place to eat, he watched that TV show, we went to this place for my birthday, he gave me that necklace, etc. etc. etc.
Howdy Y’all! Comin’ up for air for a minute. I am buried in paperirk. It’s a good thing cause that means new folks are gettin’ or about to get started. Still, so dang much paperirk! I get Mexican commestibles for dindin tonight, so there’s that.
{{{shoe}}} I know that has to be tough.
Ok, time to dive back in.
I second the motion.
The motion has been seconded.
All those who vote “meh”, please raise your hand.
Howdy from da cave! Yep, da cave. At 2:45 p.m. when the second power blip in half an hour happened (no flytrap I did not trip over a powercord) I took it as a sign.
I believe the shrug of shoulders would be the appropriate gesture.
:dubious:
Just plug the extension cord back in, and wake up Spidey, Doggio and Vunderboob so that they may vote.
Bob.
Vunderbob.
