I suspect every one of those people who used the cat bag were murdered in their sleep after the photo was taken.
In order to trim Murderbiscuit's claws, we have to drug him with gabapentin, wait 3 hours for him to hit maximum stoned, and then I burrito (or, if you will, PURRito) him in a towel and take 1 paw out at a time while Tim trims his claws as quickly as possible.
Before the vet gave us gabapentin, he was an unholy terror at claw-trimming time. When he's stoned, he's tolerable. The best times of the year are his twice-yearly vet checkups, when I happily pay them $14 to trim his claws. One of those visits is a dental cleaning, where he's under anesthesia, and the vets love that visit, because Murderbiscuit being unconscious makes trimming his claws a snap. (Side note: NEXT WEEK, woo hoo!)
Anyway, YES, if we put him in that bag, we would be murdered immediately afterward. He wouldn't even wait until we were asleep.
Every time I see those colorful caps you can put on a cat's claws I laugh and laugh.
Somehow my email ended up on a family's group email with information about the family Zoom call for Granny's 90th birthday. I deleted the email and didn't eavesdrop on Granny's birthday Zoom call.
But because my email was caught in "reply all," I just got a lovely follow-up email from one of the family members, describing how much Granny enjoyed the Zoom call, and listing who all sent her birthday flowers, and what she ate for birthday dinner, and who else called and visited her (I believe Granny is in Dublin, Ireland, and I guess maybe Covid isn't as big of a concern there? I sure hope Granny doesn't get Covid!), and included a picture of Granny holding 2 shiny pink mylar helium balloons -- one "9" and one "0". She looked very happy.
Granny's 90th birthday is none of my business, but honestly, that follow-up email was really sweet and just made my day.
I use tables in Word a lot when I'm taking notes for genealogy things -- it's useful for that, where I can do things like make a table for each person, listing each document I have about them and what information that document gives, and then I can easily see when a document that ought to exist is missing, or where there's a contradiction between two documents, or things like that. But doing it in Word also gives me the space to put text notes above and below and in between the tables, and do footnotes as I'm working, and so on. Then there's a lot of copying and pasting from that notes document into the actual report when I write it.
I used tables in Word this morning to make a shapes worksheet...I felt a little bad about it because of this conversation, but I don't have a better tool for the job.
There was an office lady at one school where I worked who did everything in PowerPoint. She set the slide size to 8.5x11 and printed out the results.
Thanks, Dana. Looks like all the local sites are out, but I'll keep checking.
I literally kept getting different results every time I refreshed, so keep an eye on it if you can.
Aw, ,Tep, that's very sweet! I'm so glad you got to eavesdrop and share.
Timelies all!
Mr. S's school marked 100 days of school yesterday. Among the thing he brought home was a necklace made of Froot Loops strung on a string. Of course he cut the string and has been munching on cereal all day. ADHD + sugar + artificial colors= wild child. sigh.
