Bobbie has a Kitty ....
All mine are laughing! Saying a good person is the best thing in the world for kitties. KC found a good person!!!
Adaptable to the boat is a bonus!
A seafaring kitty! Yes!

Watch out ...
They do play!
Play & play! If they enjoy catnip ... what joy!
She is a lucky kitty, Bobbie. So are you.

I have those life jackets for the small dogs, in orange. Yellow is better. Can't wait for photos!

Austin ... 60 is the new something. If you are coherent ~ enjoy it! Enough others aren't.

Dad needs food & bedtime ...

Miz, Takes time for anesthesia to leave their system. She needs rest and quiet. As long as she is eating and drinking, she'll let you know when she feels better. We get very worried about our 2 kitties too!
Bobbie, Smart little girl you have there!
Austin, I'll be 60 next year. You are never too old! I say go for it!

Maxine: I call her Kitty Cat and it works for both of us.
70 so what? still young and love is ageless. give it a shot!

Rip, i hope you and miz feel better.

Sharon! good to see from you! I am still not on MyFace. others here are!

Cat has figured out how to jump out at me in the companionway and make me holler. got me twice so far. She will also hang out on top of the locker in my room and pat my head when I go by. Little pink toes.

True love.

MIZ ... take time with Sassy! She needs it to recover.
Make her feel safe. Thats important for kitties. Don't rush her.

You ... on the other hand, need to take care of yourself!...
HA! I'm one to talk. Everyone else comes first in my life ... I suspect you are the same.

With your new job you are encountering new germs. I say this b/c I've been isolated with Sir for the last few months.

Our last trip to the ER I noticed several coughing & sneezing nurses.
They need to work ... Needed their paycheck.

I was surprised the young doctor mentioned not having his grandmother admitted to the hospital b/c of so many diseases she might pick up. Good guy!

Dad needs dinner.
I hope I am back ... not near the Black Hole.
Where's Peach?

Not a downer. I truly hope Sassy improves. Keep us in the loop, pet her for me. Praying for her peace and health. And yours...These times come and go, but it sure feel s like forever when you are in it.

Maxine ... I too am wondering about a dating site.
My former roomate found his soulmate on OKCupid. He phoned me thrilled to meet a lady who was into music like he was.

Decided to move to St Louis from Washington.
Let us know if you give it a try?

I'm sorry, everyone. I'm such a downer. I don't think Sassy is coming back from her surgery very well. I feel like crap and have PMS. Mom's sugar continues to be low and so that's a worry. Need a break so bad. I want the boat!! I feel so bad cause I'm not addressing others issues. Maxine, go for it. I met my hubby on-line. :) I love ya all. Thanks so much for being here. You're the best and are all angels in my book.

love,
miz

Bobbie angels are on the way Godwilling, Does your kitty have a name yet I kept the name the animal shelter gave my cat he had been there a year so was use to it. He cried so much when I was away and when I am home he is hardly near me. Been thinking of going on a dating site two nephews and my younger brother met their soulmates on line is it too wiered I am 70. We are having nice fall weather here in the northeast time to put away the lawn tools and find the small snowblower from whereever I stuck it last winter. Have a good nighteveryone Maxine here.

Hello everyone. Well I have given in.....I am on facebook. I am there most of the time so I can sit up and watch after my mom until 430am or until she goes to sleep.....So if any of you want to be added to my friends? let me know I will send an invitation. One thing games teach you on there? you have no friends...So you can not level up.....that is sad isn't it? Wow...take care all.....Sharon

hey Gang!
Rip has been laying low, not up to snuff & busy with house stuff. Very boring ...

Miz, I think there is a bug going around. Sore throat, aches & exhaustion.
Like J mentioned ... the change of season affects everyone.
Hope you are feeling better. We aren't immune to all the new viruses, especailly us who are mainly homebound. A quick trip to the store & those germs will attack us.
Especially kid germs.

This thread is too quiet ....
Pick it up people!

Ssk, I find Mom's denture under her pillow, in her hand, and even resting on her chest! She takes them out while she is sleeping. I don't take her out to eat anymore. Too gross! Eats with her hands and steals food off of others plates! It's hard to keep your food down when eating with her!
Rossella, Bad cop, that's what we are! hope you are catching up on your work so you can take a break!
Linda, happy Pa is feeling well! Coffee, what would we do without it!
Bobbie, Sounds like Kitty adopted the right person! She'll be a fine companion!
Miz, Everyone I talk to is tired. I think the change of seasons is getting to all of us! Hope you feel better soon.

but did the dentures work?!! This is important! may have found a new way to both annoy and attract wait staff...Will remember it for future use...We stopped taking grandpa out few months back..to messy and it scares people when he chokes and gags like he is dying...then blames everything on the plate from salt to water soup to nuts...so to speak...not his inability to stop shoving chow down his pie hole while already coughing...

Hi sskape; I guess that when your mother waved her denture she got a lot of attention!
I feel relieved to see I am not the only one whose mother prefers the company of the caregivers. I am the bad cop too, the evil sister, the careless daughter... It depends on the days. It's not pleasant. I guess I have to get used to it!
I am trying to work with 4 cats on, under, in, around the computer. I wonder what will Bobbie's cat do; maybe she will give her opinion about the route to be followed!

Hi Everyone. Castoff, the date was very nice. Dinner at Ruby Tuesday's and then a movie. Was so nice to get out but I paid for it the next day. Didn't feel good at all. I think I feel even worse today. I'm thinking about calling in sick to work and having the nurse still come but it's the first day of a special promotion at work and I would feel very bad if I was not there. We will probably be very busy. I sure just feel like going back to bed. I got a good night's sleep so it's not that. Maybe I'll go in and see how I feel. Maybe I can suffer through it.

Yay, Bobbie got a kitty kitty. :)) They are such good company.

I'm gonna lay down some more. This sucks.

love,
miz

Bobbie, Nik has great humor too!! Can I have license to use the "bag of knives"? Too funny. Do you remember on Sat Night Live (I think)..Tunces the driving cat? KC at the helm..paints a cute picture. GOD's favor to you with the lawyers today.
Pamela, Good to hear form you. SEMPER FIDELIS!!!!!!! to you & yours. Huge congrats to your son on completing boot camp. Any particular field he's going into??? Hub was an AMTRAC mechanic. MARINES made a wonderful man of him.
Rip, Good luck getting a pic of humbirds. Pretty little blurrs. Hub spent most of the spring cussing cause he couldn't stop them in flight. He ended up buying a high speed card for the camera to "pic them off". Works much better now. We agree that birds and insects are the most difficult "models" to photograph, but the new (pricey) card works wonders.
Rosella, Yes be very careful with new meds. I just refilled my script for zoloft (generic steraline) this last week and had a TERRIBLE reaction to it! My face swelled & got a nasty rash. I stopped taking them & called the pharmacy to give them a "heads up" for a possible bad batch. They were in total denial & said if there was no recall they weren't going to do anything. Well excuse me for trying to be helpful!!!! I have been taking that med for years off & on but never had that reaction before. I won't be taking them anymore though! The rash/swelling went away after a couple days & I guess I'll just have to rely on self control for awhile.
Linda, Glad you got a dance with your sweetheart. "Moonlight Dance" by Van Morrison is one of my all time favorites. It always reminds me of an evening hub & I spent in the Minnesota wilderness. Hope your pa is doing well this week.
ssk, Welcome to Bobbie's thread. Good character & good humor here. Laughter & tears abound.
Miz, How was the date girl????
Kathy, We have to take care of the business end of caregiving, so we aren't as much "fun" as the helpers. We know our value though & so do those we care for (as best they can understand). The fact that you have your wonderful Merry there for you & your mom shows how very much you care. My mom also prefers the helper's company over mine. Jennifer is everything I am not able to be for mom, friend, companion, visitor & dinning buddy. I have to be the "bad cop" but I'm OK with that.

Hub may have a job with decent pay next week!!!! Hurray!!!!
GOD's best gifts to all of you!!!!! Happy Monday!!!!!

Good Morning Ladies and welcome to the Grossed out thread SSK!

the old waving the dentures around trick, eh?
On this thread we specialize in supporting each other and looking for funny stuff.
Kid, you fit right in.

OK everybody: the cat is still here! I guess she likes me. So far she hasn't bolted for the door or tired to get off the boat.
She's getting her own PFD. Personal Flotation Device. Kitty Life Vest. It's yellow, which will look good on her and also has a handle running parallel to her spine which is hilarious and useful at the same time. Since she will get on anything that I tap or point to, I might be able to teach her to become a dinghy cat and go for a ride.
You Tube has some great videos of boat cats. Mom and I would watch them together and laugh our tails off.
I mentioned one a few thousand posts ago where the cat had his own PFD, was riding in an inflatable dinghy with his people and knew his own boat and jumped from the dinghy to the deck. My dinghy is a Boston Whaler which is not a blowup.

I was talking to Nik yesterday and he wanted to know if she was cool to hug or was she a 'bag of knives'.

Taking a bath right next to me now. Certainly hits all the spots.

more later. got too much paperwork and lawyers today. send me some angels ladies. Today could be a tough one.

We went to a resturant to eat. When I looked over at mom she was waving her dentures around trying to get the waitress's attention. I was totally embarassed and grossed out.
I still take her out to eat cuz it's one of the few things she still can sort of do. It is always a challenge though. I feel more comfortable in a really casual resturant. We live in a tourist area so ther are a lot of places to go. I have to hold her hand while walking in or else she will fall over.

Good morning Bobbie! Sounds like the perfect kitty found you! If the first night was good, then it should be smooth sailing for you and Kitty Cat. Now you have someone to keep you company, and her sleeping with you is an added bonus! Careful with the milk. My boy was drinking daddy's milk from his cereal bowl every morning, and it gave him poop soup. Talked to the vet and she said cats are naturally lactose intolerant! Dairy products are a no-no.
Linda, love outdoor fires at night, but dancing with hubby, how romantic!
Have a great day everyone!
