It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

To my cats, EVERYTHING is a cat toy. Except the little spinny cat toy designed for that purpose, which lies ignored on the floor.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

A cat toy is whatever Murderbiscuit says is a cat toy. Until he decides it isn't.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

those packages of rice you just need to pop into the microwave

I really like Trader Joe's Rice Medley ("Brown Rice, Red Rice & Black Barley"). I will need to restock my freezer soon.

That is very weird, Tom! If not for a pandemic I’d be v tempted to take my dinner there and be that person going “have you even TRIED THIS??” Lol

Oh and Scrappy!! So sorry that sounds like a pain in the....face...

Instead I did grocery pickup for the first time, because I am quarantining to pod with friends for next weekend. First I went to the wrong store. Oops. Somehow it was saying this other store which is far away, was actually closer, and I thought I’d accidentally ordered from there, but when I got there they were like “nope” and when I finally looked at my email rather than the confusing app, indeed I did order from the right store. Good grief. And then they were out of the one thing I wouldn’t have thought? But whatever. Got my stuff, got $20 off for it being my first order, and I once again have all the clementines I want.

Now to get some energy up to go take the dog for a walk in the nice sunny weather?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Cats iz weird. Covey will practically push his face into any plate of anything I'm eating, but he won't eat people food when I offer it to him. Bally on the other hand will happily eat as much chicken as I put in front of her, and she jumped on the tidbits of Christmas ham that I offered her.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Everything not nailed down is a cat toy, and probably a few things that are, too.(At different times I have seen both cats attacking door hinges. Cats.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I took the dogs out for a walk without my keys or phone. THANK GOD for the owner of the local pet shop still being there. Neither neighbor I tried was answering. Tomorrow spare keys get made for neighbors AND hide-a-keys.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Spare keys with neighbors are clutch.

I got myself a six-pack of bottles of Fresca the other day, and it was a great present for me PLUS six toys for Buddy! (the caps.)

Sigh. Mickey is back. I had just about convinced myself that it was my imagination, but there he was, bold as brass streaking across the room. Put in a maintenance report

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Back when I bought my house (which is now over 20 years ago -- gack!!!) I got the locks changed -- which of course one does -- and I got the locksmith to change them to the "key needed to lock" model, so the number of times I or R. got stranded can be counted on hands, mostly because of timing mix-ups where party one left without keys (somehow) and the other left, locking things up.

Oh, I have to report back that I got the Soda Stream at Target, and R. was pleased and surprised, even though she'd asked for it.
