There are still plenty of kittens out there. Especially this time of year. Just sayin'.

Although I pretty much adopted Jasmine before I had even met her, so luck of the draw there...

Sneaking another mouth in wouldn't work I may have to be a bit sneaky getting a puppy or kitten

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have some sewing I want to do and he'd just get in the way and wouldn't work as a fit model.

OK, I'll pass that along to... my friend.

Last night, I was ready to go to bed when I realized that I hadn't seen Jasmine in a while. So I walked around calling her, got her food bag out, started shaking it...no Jasmine. I checked everywhere for her and finally gave up, hoping she was just being stubborn. Then, this morning, I called her and heard a very faint meow. Last night, my parents had asked me to get something out of my dad's closet, and she followed me in without my realizing it. Poor thing spent the night in the closet. I felt so bad.

Poor pumpkin. I hope she wasn't too scared.

Way too fresh for us. We both having crying spells which is probably stupid to some, but it has been only 3 months today. We have been able to look at kitties at pet stores now so that is getting better.

Not stupid at all. You lost a loved one, they are not easily replaced.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

I hope it was a good day with great kids.

Today was a good day. It was exhausting though. I really didn't want to take Kapono on a walk after work, but I know how much she loves it so even though my feet hurt we took our normal walk. The things I do for that dog. I think it will be an early night tonight.

Stay safe. My ex-FIL lives in LaPorte. When this all was moving in he and his brother filled their vehicle with everything they could and grabbed their pets then went to family in Indiana to ride it out. I haven't talked to them in quute awhile but my mom's got family in LaPorte, DeerPark, Conroe, Pasadena, Beaumont and Montgomery. I remember many trips to Galveston beach to swim when I was little. My uncle lived by Houston Hobby and you could sit out on the verandah to see the planes coming and going. I feel sad for Houston.

Thanks.
And, so sorry I'm so rediculously late in my response.
Harvey definitely double-dipped Houston and so much of southeast Texas, and there's still so much flooding...just nutso, even a week later from initial landfall.
Prayers that all of your family is safe and doing as well as possible down there, and that those family members that wisely evacuated still have their homes intact.
Continued prayers to all.

Sir??????

Sir Mr Ferret 88 of Guernsey.
Is that better...?!

Most insurance companies mobilized their disaster response teams last week. They have teams of people that work around the clock during natural disasters

Yep, thanks, but, I'm about 112 years old, so I'm fully aware of that.

 

[donaldtoo]

Yes, yes it does.

Yes, Isn't it amazing, still after all this time, it's amazing how many "adults" here still have no self control to adhere to the rules of the thread/forums...?!?!?!?!?!?!
Certain members here had a whole discussion that had no place on this thread about selfcontrol of children, but, yet they couldn't control themselves. None of them seem to be able to practice what they preach.
For some reason, they chose to carry it out here, instead of a more appropriate place where they could duke it out, and the rest if if us in what's supposed to be be our happy thread would't have to put up with it
Good Lord, what happened to a pretty fun thread...?!?!?
It doesn't hafta' be benign, but, good Lord people, keep your political, and social stuff off of THIS a thread.

Or, if you you still don't get it by now, go get a checkup from the neck up...

 

[donaldtoo]

I'm out.
Those of you here who still can't grow up and have some self control, please figure it out, please.
It's not difficult. Get a grip...

You think it will regrow? or whiter and die?

The tree is about 100 years old or so. We've lost 100's and 100's of trees with the mini tornado. Ones like the tree I posted the 2 pictures of the same tree are coming down still. These were big log branches they took off today. The earth shook as the 5 foot sections hit the ground. So now we are at the stage that just the trunks are left. I am interested to see how they remove all these tall, thick trunks.

The town evaluated the trees and put a big white X on the ones that were too dangerous to leave up, fear of a branch breaking off and killing someone. It could have grown back, there was still life but the risk of any one of those branches falling now in a future storm just too big of a risk.

The tree people are separating the good logs. Some of these like I've posted being so wide of a diameter should fetch a pretty penny when they resell them. What is bad goes in the wood chipper, the solid logs are being loaded into log trucks.
