You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I was late watching Tim Minchin's opening number for the 2020 BAFTAs, but picked it up last night. One of the lyrics was "Who designed your tracksuit?"

Have you heard anything from his new album, Apart Together? "I'll Take Lonely Tonight" absolutely floored me, I haven't been so wrecked by a song since Hamilton.

I mean the really old days. Before the first exodus.

Oh, hey, hi. Lot of sad news here - DX, fuck, don’t know what to say - but so many old friends too; I’ve not dropped in since Ita but Fi mentioned I should.

I’m sorry about the previous kitties, Trudy, but I’m glad the new kittens have found themselves in a good home. I’m sure they’ll realize it soon.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Hi, Jim! I probably post-date your time (I started posting on 9/11).

Trudy, feline kidney failure is terrible. I've experienced it quickly and slowly, and there's no better way to go through it. And the kittens will likely come around in time. Not as long as my Bally, I hope -- it took her 8 years.

Our wings are not tired.

Hey Jim!

My kitties took some time. They hid behind the air handler for a while. Now they are all over me.

I need to figure a way to focus on work stuff. It just isn't happening and my guilt level is increasing.

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

Much like Cash, the imaging people want a better look at my left one. I am here today, so fingers crossed for nothing abnormal.

Good luck msbelle.

When I first got Darby, the advice I got was to sit and read aloud to her. Might help with shy cats too?

So sorry for all the sad pet news. Mozzie went through a period of refusal to eat and GI ick and after multiple tests and an X-ray to check for blockage the diagnosis came back: BAMBOOZLE. He was trying to get upgraded to a higher standard than his already fancy cuisine. “He’s playing you” were the ver’s actual words.

All back to normal now.

Amused by whitefont. Skinner had many digestive issues when we first got him. Took him from a skinny 55 lbs to a nice 70 lbs now. I do cook him rice/chicken/veggies in the instant pot because it helps. I think his massive worm issues before we rescued him left permanent issues. I mix a bit of dry food in with it in case there are vitamins or whatever missing.

Booby~ma, msbelle.
