tomorrow we are going on our annual vacay to a friends house at OC MD, and the weather looks crap. But we will still find things to do. My BFF owns the house and will be there with us.. may help me over the Merlin loss, and still working on" the new at retirement issues" As to another kitty, some of you may remember we have feral colony on our property. DD will be taking care of them, and one of them moved in as an indoor/outdoor cat the first year. He is a blessing and so much like merlin except Tippy is black and white, not orange and white. Same size and personality as Merlin at his peak. So if you don;t hear from me for a week, all should be good and I'll miss you all!

Pamzi, I am so sorry for your loss. It is hard because they just don't live long enough. But, what a way to goe out enjoy a nice meal or the anticipation of one and good night sweet prince.

May another precious kitty come into your life at just the right time. Hugs!

Sorry, pamz. It sounds like he fought the good fight while he could. Glad you had him. Did he wander into your house as a kitten?

Well my 16 YO cat Merlin passed over the rainbow bridge today, after a long hard fight. He literally walked into our laundry room one night and went to the food bowl,, and never left. i remember my hubs telling me " you won't believe what just came in the house, and me telling him whatever it is put it back out! " We live in the country and I was imagining a raccoon or possum! He was such a lover boy.

I went to check my church's Facebook page this morning and was given the login page instead. I checked all the other public Facebook accounts I visit and they are all the same, there is no access. I've already buckled to the need to create a Google account and have zero desire to join Facebook, ever. Why are people so content to have big business tracking our every move?

Pam,

Wow! Quite a turn out for the class. Sounds great!

So sorry about your kitty. I agree that as soon as you know that he’s uncomfortable, it’s time to bring him to your vet.

Thanks, our granddog will be here in the morning. I can’t wait! My daughter says, “Mom, you tell the dog hello before you even speak to me.” LOL 😆 It’s true.

NHWM there were about 10 of us there. 2 that looked to be about my age, the rest older, and the lady who led the group was at least 70. All pretty spry, and the one that wasn;t spry was sure as heck trying! I was hoping to go today but we were swamped getting food ready for the last long weekend shindig at the river. Plus I made a qt of spaghetti sauce to freeze and that needs watched. I have to admit my legs were a bit sore!
Merlin is hanging in there. He is about 5 lbs these days, and greasy looking as he only grooms his front legs ( or licks off the cream I put on his one tumor.) Actually since I accidentally brushed the scab off it, which is how I found it, it is scabbing back over so I guess that is good. He would not survive any surgury, and so we just keeping him happy . He doesn't seem to be in pain, and spends his time sleeping in the sun and our bed at night, meowing at my DH for treats all day, and having a small bowl of milk at night when hubs has his snack. Using the litter box and otherwise seems content. When he is no longer happy, we will take him to the vet and hold him as he goes ( if he doesn't just pass away in his sleep.) It;s hard but we've done it before.
Enjoy your grand dog!!

Pam,

How many people were in attendance? Glad that you enjoyed it!

How’s the kitty doing?

My youngest daughter is going to the beach for the holiday weekend.

She’s dropping off her dog at our house so we will get to spoil him while she’s away.

I already bought special treats for him and a new toy to add to the basket of toys that I keep for him. I have fallen in love with our granddog. 😊

I had a blast! Very nice people and the workout was harder than I thought it might be,, never underestimate older ladies! My GF sweated off her makeup! And I was cold when I went in but sure not cold when I left!! I think this will be good for my joints, and believe me I need the balance training.. i will be going only once in awhile for the end of summer, but I am going to go more regularly once fall and winter start.

Pam,

Senior centers have all kinds of activities. Hope that you enjoy your class. It’s great that a friend will be joining you.

Tomorrow I am going to go to the local senior center and take a class on balance and strength. My BFF is also going to go as due to foot surgury she has a locked up ankle. Wish us luck we don;t break anything!! It will get me out of the house a few times a week when I am home, and make some new retired friends,, good for winter coming up. My DD keeps saying I am not Senior Citizen,, so I told her I could be the baby..LOL. Actually she is for it. I was going to volunteer a few places but I think I need to take it slow on all that. Today was the end of my first week of retirement and it has gone OK,, been busy JHH finally got my retirement package so hopefully no more information needed and I'll see a check before Nov. Also got locked out of my SS account ( well why not add to the stress) but they were able to get me back into it, and I may see a check in Oct.. This retireing is harder than I thought,, from a paperwork end.. and I started in MAY!!

Llama I sent Golden a private message and she responded. Her big move is coming up the 2nd week of September. She said she'll be back once she is settled.

I know we all are wishing her the very best with that and looking forward to her return.

She told me she's taking an indefinite break from the forum Gershun. She's liked a couple of my posts so I know she's checking in occasionally.

Anyone hear from Golden lately? It's been a while since I've seen her on here. I'm a bit worried. I'll send her a private but in the meantime if anyone has heard from her let me know. Thx in advance.

Exhausted Carer, as to the three who went suspended over a week ago (two weeks come this coming Monday) I think none of them are back. Two of them may not be coming back by their choice or haven't seen something they wish to comment on; they were neither of them "regularly" on.
One of them, however, I believe did something to go from suspended to eliminated, as she went from "anonymous" to GONE along with all her comments.

But, yes, the policy is stated clearly. I think that it's OK it stays top of the news feed, because it's a reminder, and we can't claim we didn't know the rules.

“I hope that the policy update will disappear from the 'top of our news feeds'.”

Agree. But I don’t think they want to get rid of it.

I hope that the policy update will disappear from the 'top of our news feeds'. I've already read it! Perhaps once a month would be better.

It's all covered in the policy update that is pinned to the top of our news feeds,

First strike: 7-day suspension

Second strike: 14-day suspension

Third strike: Permanent account closure

When someone is blocked from posting, how long does that last until they can resume activity on the forum?

So, Miley Cyrus may be doing the Super Bowl halftime act this year. If this comes to pass, I would really like to see her perform with her godmother, Dolly Parton! I adore Dolly! I think she would be up for it.

Geaux Saints! Who Dat!!!

I wonder how our old coach will do in Colorado coaching the Broncos. Payton is a great coach! He led us to win the 2010 Super Bowl.

Awhile back we had a really crappy football team! I remember when the fans wore paper bags over their faces and we called out team, The Ain’ts instead of The Saints! LOL 😆.

We are die hard fans though, no
matter how our team is playing. We show up for the games!
