I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
Cats are funny for sure, I have had many a cat go up a tree and I would get my ladder and spend hours trying to get them down and then once they think you have decided to ignore them, THEN they will come down...silly little stinkers.... so glad you Mom is doing better Jeanette....it could have very well been some bug or as you said, car sickness....seems like everything affects them now...
check out an alice cooper video called " vengeance is mine , with " sting " . bitchin hard rock . ( spoiler ) nurse rosetta got strangled with a phone cord ..
My dad was undiagnosed OCD. He made a pre-printed grocery list by aisle (columns) of all the usual stuff they had, so then my mom would only have to check next to it, or put the quantity next to it, so when my dad went shopping....he didn't really have to think that hard unless it was a new product or the product changed it's look/location. They kept the latest one on the fridge. It worked like a charm until the grocery store reorganized! Give it a go.
im learning things . like , if i eat food in the morning my body converts that food into body heat . my last pot of beans were so dam good i stretched em with a quart of canned potatoes and they just got better . pork loin in this batch , im thinkin ..
hope, glad your kitty came home. Mine likes to hang out at night as well. She will climb onto the roof and sit there meowing by my bedroom window at night. I go to let her in and she "pretends" she can't get down.. Well, she got UP there!! A few months ago I'd drag the ladder out in them middle of the night... pffttt, not anymore.
Mom seems to be doing better, her appetite is back and she''s as normal as possible. She had the sneezies n sniffles so maybe a tummy virus was bugging her. It's hard for her to articulate what's bothering her and such a guessing game for me. Don't worry, if I in anyway thought she was having a TIA or anything of any majorness... we'd be off in a nano second to the ER or Clinic. She might also have had a touch of car sickness since she hasn't ridden for 3 hours in quite some time.
pamstegman, who is that lovely nurse in the photo??
Susan, what happened? Did someone get upset at some advice you gave? The joy of this website is advice is not a one size fits all. ALL advice, except perhaps some of capn's animal advice (LOL) is appreciated. I wouldn't let that stop me from giving it nor posting on here, so c'mon back and dive right on it.
At one time a few Christmases ago I offered to have a cleaning crew come to their house to give it a fresh start.... well I could tell from the expression on my face that she thought I though she wasn't a good housekeeper [she use to be but is but she's loosing her eyesight with old age].... and she wasn't about to let any strangers in the house. So I scrapped that idea. And no, I am not going to be Hazel..... I can barely keep up with cleaning my own house, I don't need two houses to clean.
If someone had offered me a whole house cleaning free of charge, I would be shouting from the roof tops in glee :)
I think snow must be very uncomfortable if one's paws are generously furred underneath. With our old cocker spaniel, the snow used to get packed into little hard balls under his toes - you've never seen such a fuss as we had getting them off him again. You can get snow shoes for pets, but it's not much less trouble and quite how a Maine Coon would take that I daren't think - no sense of humour, these cats...
I have a heavy furred Maine Coon cat who will NOT go outside when it is cold, and forget about snow, she's not stepping on that. My other cat is a Black Bombay, thus a very thin coat of fur but he will spend quality time outside no matter how cold, walks in the snow, or even in the rain. Go figure.
I am not much of a Riesling wine fan, but my Dad loves the taste of German Riesling.... I found only one that I will drink and it is made by Barefoot. I know the Crane boys on Frasier could recommend a good hearty Riesling :)
I am so happy to report that this morning at 6:17 AM I was awakened to the sound of a tiny mewing at the basement door and I bolted to it to find my sweet kitty had returned!!!! I am so happy...not only is Mama having some good days but now kitty is home....I can't believe she stayed out in this horrid below frigid weather....she hates the cold..which is why I was so afraid something had nabbed her...who knows what she got into, but just so thankful she is safe and home and warming cozily beside Mama and her other kitty as we speak...yay!!!!
On a Saturday night, the ER is about the best option unless you have an on call nurse or MD.
Something is just not right...I am monitoring her closely. She still doesn't have an appetite, just thirsty. Oh man....
Jeanette, when Mama is having her "more off than on days" she stares a lot too. and I don't know why but that does something to me that i can't describe and it wears on you...a LOT. she has not done that the last couple of days but I know it will happen again. I'm kind of bankrolling all these good moments so I can go back and revisit them when we have the bad days...the emotional roller coaster..it just goes on and on.. (((hugs)))
cause i needed his coat worse than he did .
i may have to compose a singing telegram for the gal whos 76 yr old dad is being " scammed " by the 74 yr old woman , on this thread cause i havent got the nerve up to revisit her thread yet .
na na na NA !!
well my dear old dad , is stinkin rich - h .
hes been hangin around , with a scammin b*tch .
theyre goin on a cruise , and it wont be cheap .

She's been "staring"... nowhere in particular, just staring. Plus, she's bent over... nothing happened, one day she leans to the left, the other the right, two days now, frontwards.
