A bear walks into a liquor store, in this case: But the owner also owns the bar next door, appropriately named the “Grizzly Sports Bar and Grill”. The bear apparently turned that down, or maybe was denied entry, on the grounds of being a bear and all, and went for the liquor store instead.

Just built a cuke-n-onion salad for tomorrow - it needs to marinate overnight for max flavorage. 😃 I bought a box brownie mix - when Roxy gets up, I’ll let her help me “cook” it. Apparently she likes to stir stuff. Plus brownies! ---

**Shoe** , great pictures and you have a friend request from a D. H. on FB–that’s me. **FCM** , speaking of grooming, I need a haircut soon… Well, the great braunsweiger trek was a bust…ended up at the only three stores that carry ‘my’ brand in the area and struck out all three times. Will try again Firday. At least it got me out of the house and around the area some. A couple drops of rain but nothing much. Still way too humid. All y’all take care. Still debating on dinner (my weekly list has “TBD” on it…) ---

> [@BippityBoppityBoo](#): > > I only watch Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah, John Oliver and my favorite band Home Free. Otherwise I want to read it, not watch it. Call me a throw back, I am. For me, youtube is limited to tutorials (it’s how I changed the carburetor on my lawn mower) and occasional Watcher Entertainment videos because I’m a sucker for Puppet History. Other than that, I’d rather watch netflix or hulu. But now that I think about it, I’m sure my watching history is just as garbage as I think the rest of my family’s is - I just don’t want to admit it. I’ll tell you guys, but would never admit it to my husband. ---

Dang it. I had a long message ready and it got et. So, I hope everyone is feeling better. **Moommm** the door looks great. All the pets are cute. The head has improved. Doc never did get back to me. I have emailed MS doc about whether MS meds will help with the headaches. We shall see. Lamb chops for dinner tonight. How the heck would anyone keep bees on a ship (without a greenhouse)? Am confused. Happy Wednesday everyone. ---

> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > How the heck would anyone keep bees on a ship (without a greenhouse)? Am confused. Tiny lifejackets? In all seriousness, make sure they have plenty of food, and, if possible, keep 'em chilly so they stay in the hive and don’t eat so much. And keep your fingers crossed- lots of colonies were lost when being transported by olde tyme ships, from what I’ve heard. A greenhouse wouldn’t help anyway- hives forage in an area with about a 2 mile radius to get enough flowers; you ain’t getting that quantity in a greenhouse, and the extra heat would make them burn through the stores extra fast. Anyway, I’m going to bed, and I don’t care that it’s barely after 9pm; after an all-day ‘training day’ which featured a few bits of useful info in the morning, and an afternoon of pure waffle, followed by getting stuck in a huge traffic jam on the way home that added 2 hours to my drive, I don’t wanna grownup any more. ---

I submitted a work order request to maintenance yesterday. I wish they’d give an estimated day/time when they plan to come. I don’t have to be here for them to come in and fix stuff, but I don’t want them walking in while I’m in the shower–not that they’d walk into the bathroom–or have headphones on and don’t hear them come in. I have an extreme startle response thanks to the ever-fun PTSD. I guess I’ll stop in at the office and ask. It can take them days to get a work order done. I’m soooo tired. I couldn’t get to sleep last night. I must have been over-tired, as I’d hardly slept the night before. It’s hot and sunny, but I need to walk to the pharmacy. **shoe** , those are some sweet furry friends. You look nice, too. wet one, that is one beautiful kitty. She looks like she’s trying to hypnotize you. 🙂 **sunny** , glad the headache is gone. Is there a connection between MS and migraines? There is with lupus. **MetalMouse** , sorry you couldn’t get the braunschweiger. I wonder why they were out. Maybe it’s National Braunschweiger Week or something. ---

**shoe** - I sent you a friend request on FB also - I did identify myself in a post, so there’s that. 😃 Supper was good, brownies were yummerrific!
