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.

Yikes Vortex, I hope maintenance is on top of it quickly :(

It’s kind of satisfying that the man on my group therapy zoom who thinks he knows everything about everything is the only one who has consistently had trouble logging on. Today he was there but couldn’t hear us.

Vortex, I hope you can get the situation taken care of quickly.
