Swampykins, you forgot to mention that you stopped at the liquor store:
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!
Cross-posting from the “Name my new kitteh” thread …because I can count on Mumpers to let me know post-haste if the pictures aren’t visible.
Okay, let’s see if I can get these pics to work.
I call this one “The Paw Bouquet”
Selfie with Cat:
He put his paw on me. “I own this human now.”
This is still my favorite picture so far. Bonus African soft-furred rats a.k.a. “Kitteh T.V.”
Because you all insist on pictures, I created an Imgur account. How do I move a picture from there to here???
Now, with all that new-cat nonsense out of the way, our established cast of characters:
This is Nikki, the Pookie and first of her name. Also answers to Pook-Pook and NIKKICHICKEN (all one word) and to Nik-Nik as well.
Here is Pretzel, enjoying the Great Outdoors:
These are a couple of my African Soft-Furred Rats:
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…)
You don’t actually move it. Imgur gives you links to your pictures. Do you see them? Copy the link (usually the first one) and paste it in the message box here ON A LINE BY ITSELF. IOW a line break before and after the pasted link. [/PSA]
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.
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.
Howdy Y’all! We et an early sup cause we were hongry. 'Twas good and now major chillage ensues. The heat index is a hunnert, so glad to be inside and in the cool.
The critter pics are teh cute!
Pretzel is awesome! Cute pets galore!
Nice human too😺
Stephen had a hive for them. They were eating the sweetened hot chocolate that was served in the officer’s gun room. As I recall, they were pawned off on someone at the next land fall.
Yes shoe, those are great pictures. That Monkey has a lot of Siamese in him, can tell by his head shape and body lines. Gorgeous baby. And I love your purple glasses! The ratties are cute-I told my roomie we should should get some, she said no. No explaining some people.
I’m gonna try PMing you my Facebook name too. It will be a C.Z.
Don’t get me wrong, I watch plenty of those two also. Have you tried Hulu’s Brooklyn 99? Very funny and light hearted. Good chilling and relaxing stuff. Like Cheers!, but in New York and 2020.
Ursula is quite the compelling beauty. I would do anything she told me to. Swiftly.
Sorry about the headaches. PM me if you ever want to hear what works for me-I finally found a headache specialist doc. Night and day difference.
And rum. Remember all the British sailor anti-scurvy rum? Rum, I tell you.

As I recall, they were pawned off on someone at the next land fall.
I’m sure you meant to say they were gifted to someone at first landfall.
Boo, bad steel-ball-bearings-in-a-blender brain injury day. Time to hunker down and ask very little, and certainly no adulting of myself. Later
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! Probably because I’ve been avoiding pastry-like substances. They were chewy and chocolate-y - what more can you ask of brownies?? Well, if you’re FCD, you want frosting. But that’s wrong. Frosting on cake and cupcakes, not brownies!
FCD has gone to fetch Higgs from the groomer. She’ll need to be fed when she gets home. Dishes are done. Time for chillage.
Frosting does not belong on brownies. Period. End of discussion.
