You are a nice kitty mommy. Your kitty is really cute. I wish hubby wasn't allergic to kitties. At this time in my life, I think a kitty would be wonderful. They are content inside. And they use a litter box. So much better than going out in heavy snow to shovel a path for doggies in the middle of the night. I did that for years. Now, I like to stay inside cozy and warm!

I can't imagine life without a cat. Of course, I spoil her, but I've also got one of the nicest, most well-behaved cats ever. Some cats can have behavioral problems, and she has none. Uses her litterbox, won't go elsewhere. I can have her in my room and know if she needs out, she'll let me know rather than just deciding to go in my room.

She won't get up on the counter tops, so you can leave tuna out and know it will still be there. She won't go outside, so you don't have to watch for her as you're going in and out. If you give her enough toys, she leaves the furniture alone.

She'll play with us, but she won't attack anyone who comes to the house. At the same time, she's not fearful of people and will come out and be sociable. The last time my step grandfather was here before he died, he sat down on the couch. He wasn't doing well and was in a good bit of pain. She seemed to sense it and curled up next to him on the couch.

She also can sense when I'm sick or if my asthma is bad and will come and try to comfort. She doesn't care that I move around when I sleep; she just moves herself if I start.

Really, I spoil her, but I've got such a great cat that she deserves all the love.

Our grandson's love Boma for breakfast. So we have done that. Never dinner, I would like to try it, but hubby likes "regular" food. Me too, sometimes, we were brought up on meat, bread, and potato's with one vegetable, cooked to death green beans!

We've been to Boma one time for dinner back in July of '12. There were 13 of us in the party, and I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I had hoped. The only 2 things that I even remember having were prime rib that wasn't all that flavorful, and either a chicken or vegetable curry soup that was just OK. I don't even remember what else I had. Everyone else seemed to enjoy it just fine.
Probably need to give it another shot...!

I think she's saying, "You shall not pass without first petting me."

kinda dangerous position!
on one side, she might get lots of pettings, on the bad side.. she might get stepped on D:

I only use the land line. Hubby has a phone for work. When that ends, I am not sure what we will do. I'm sick of so many costs for everything. I want to take the T.V. out. Just have a computer, and no land line. Hubby doesn't agree.

If I had to choose and I did, I went with the cell phone and lost the land line completely. That was the expensive thing to have. There are so many phone plans today that give free phones and unlimited calling, texting and ample interweb connections, but, if you have a computer, as you do, that has an internet connection any usage with a smart phone costs you nothing extra. Now if you insists on one of those highfalutin I-phones, then the cost starts to get crazy. An android works very well, is much cheaper and, for me at least, completely replaced the land line and it is always with me no matter where I am. I do not make or get a lot of calls. I'm not one of those people that you see with the phone stuck to my ear all day long. I don't even know that many people to be on the phone all day with. I'm not sure who they are talking too. Can anyone have that many friends that have that much free time?

I use it to make my shopping lists, play solitaire when I'm bored, map my walks, have a built in calculator, use as a flashlight, compass, notify me of Facebook activity, weather, and a host of other small, handy Apps that make my life easier. I can, but, I don't go to this site on my phone, but, only because the screen is to small and it might cause me to go blind trying to read it. Oh, I forgot to mention the best camera I have ever owned. All those detailed photos from my trip to Europe were taken with my phone.

That's got to be so hard on everyone. Why do schools, get little funding anymore? It's criminal what taxes go for. Kids should be our top priority, they are the future.

Maybe you should run for office, I like you attitude.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

The cat is 10 pounds and she'll take up an entire chair.

I've been known to change my mind about where I want to sit to avoid disturbing her.

Good I'm not the only one that doesn't want to disturb their pet. My husband laughs at me when I say I can't move because it would disturb the dog. She just looks so comfy.

 

[Cesar R M]

We can't understand it either . . .

perhaps its a cultural thing as well. People are used to swipe and run.
here its the opposite. Almost every store needs signature after swiping or using the chip.
And now its been reduced. Banks now use predictive algorythms to "think" which transfer is legit and which one is suspicuys

 

[Cesar R M]

We're Americans

freedom.. etc...? XD

 

[Cesar R M]

It took me awhile, but, I finally got your point!

an unique point indeed.

 

[donaldtoo]

Heh, heh . . . IMO, I think that @betty rose 's doctor's comment could be open to various interpretations. When I read her doctor's comment, I interpreted it more as a supportive and light-hearted gesture. I wasn't there, of course, but I'm imagining that they both smiled and agreed. Every doctor and every patient is different, but I think Bets' doctor was trying more to instill "incentive" for more appropriate eating choices, while also generating some goodwill toward her new patient. Just my two cents.

Yep, hopefully with a wink, wink, nudge, nudge, but, also with an understanding that her advice should be taken seriously.
The last Doctor I had tried to pull the hollier than thou carp on me. I fired her and found another Doc.

I never used or even had a pin with my chip encrusted credit card. All I did was sign my name just like always and it has been the same thing here. Locally, or in the states, I use my debit card most of the time. That one doesn't have a chip but I do have to use a pin number and always have. So, I still don't see what the advantage is. There must be some important other point that I am missing about it.

harder to clone, magnetic cards can be cloned and you dont know and your card will be used in your absence.
Theres mafias based on cloning cards. and it is very easy to clone a magnetic band.
chips are way harder to track (supposedly)

I have a feature on my car that is the best thing ever invented since the beginning of transportation. There is a fan, under the seat that blows cold A/C air up through the seat cushion and the back cushion and prevents leather seat swamp butt, etc. Who ever thought of that deserves a major prize. In the winter it does the reverse with warm air. It's like if the thing had a bathroom I would never need to leave it.

maybe you should try participating in pimp up my car, so they can add a full bathroom in the back.

 

[donaldtoo]

It was Hermine not Hermione.

I figured someone had already corrected this by now.
Although, when the first news I saw spelled it Hermine (even though I'm not a potter fan , and don't ever recall hearing the name Hermine), I too thought they had misspelled Hermione.

you cant get those cats that are genetically modified to dont trigger alergies?

 

[donaldtoo]

I just blow it off. I will do what I want in the Dr.s office. If I don't want to do something, I won't. The retirement of the other Dr. makes me think more about doing what I want. Not to be dictated to. I guess I went along with the other Dr. because we saw him so long. Now, I don't care.

Or, not...!

 

[donaldtoo]

You are right. She is a friendly funny person. She was making a joke, and we did laugh. But, I got the meaning too! To get meds. we have to get checked out.

Or, maybe so...!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Your cat has 9 lives, and about 16 legs!

 

[donaldtoo]

And, on that "note" gang, I'm out for tonight...
Y'all be cool, and sweet Disney dreams/already dreamin' to all...!
Laterrrrrrr...!!!

the place was full to the seams, but we spotted 2 spaces right next to the rink on one of the sides, we snatched that place right away.

There was also a musical show with the CATS cast.
