Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
Your dinner sounds delicious, Golden. I am having baked ham and sides.
That is all.
So much so, that I haven't done them yet.
So, I think about doing them, for a full 30 days I have procrastinated.
I feel sick about it. 😨🤕🤒🤢🤮
So, I am paying the bills today instead.
Or maybe tomorrow.
And that is not all.
Here are some for you, Cwillie! 💐🌸🌷🌹🌻🌺
Part of me feels guilty to not attend the meet but another part of me says I don't want to freeze!
TNtechie - the kid is going to be running around and hot and sweaty no matter what the weather, I don't blame you at all for not wanting to be cold and miserable
Get a statue of a big owl. They make plastic/resin ones for this purpose. It will scare the bird away . I’ve had my owl sitting on top of the fence on my deck forever . Rarely have some bird crap on the deck .
re meringue - do you use cream of tartar? It helps.
Golden, there are plenty of cats that traverse my yard, maybe I should leave them treats! As for the meringue - I think I've tried all the things commonly recommended 🤷♀️
I planted my bell peppers. Wish me luck.
A blustery storm blew the crow off the ledge. My daughter didn’t notice until I’d had time to scribble a note to take the crow’s place. ‘I got the crow. You’re next!’, signed with a drawing of a robin. She laughed! I recently noticed she keeps that note in her memory box.
Speak with the vet. Let him know how long trip is (often a moot point given airports and delays today). Check with airport if there is a doggie room; some have them where dog can get out, do his business and etc. Also important to know how long the trip is. Wish there was another way for the two of them. I think you can only keep one small with you and I don't trust when they are not with you. Alas. Talk with the vet. My own dog Abby, long past now, didn't do well on tranquilizers of any kind. Almost like they made her sleepy but her loss of control made her MORE anxious. So I recommend trying a dose before the move.
Also NEVER let them put the carrier in the overhead baggage compartment. They did that to a pug on a flight once (not sure which carrier) and the dog suffocated to death.
