2:10 am

Yes, I'll miss him, but I'll have his cat's undivided attention, lol! Little pester-butt! And all the chores, ugh. He helps out A LOT!

2:11 am

lol, cats are the best.

2:12 am

I really love my dog, but cats are great. I've had far more cats than dogs - easier to have several cats around than 2 dogs!

2:13 am

I know I have been away for a few years and are just getting back in to this but I am really not feeling the grid today #only18wordssofar

2:13 am

I love dogs too. Am an animal lover in general. Have had cats for years, love their grace and attitude. Now we have Terra and he is an adorable dog.

2:14 am

We did have our 24-25-yr-old cat cross the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. He had lost over half of his body mass, poor old guy. He was losing his mind - but he still knew to use the litter box. Felt bad, but he was having trouble breathing. We've been talking about helping him over for at least a year.

2:14 am

it is great to have you back, Katie. This grid is not an easy one, no worries, it is not you. Not many series, which may affect your speed. As it does mine!

2:15 am

awwwww Kam *hugssssss* You will miss him a lot. But how wonderful that he lived that long and had such a great home with you.

2:16 am

Right on cue my eldest cat has come for a cuddle with drooling and paw holding included

2:17 am

aw so sweet, coming to comfort you

2:17 am

or just to mess up your babbling, lol, knowing cats

2:18 am

She is 13 but only learnt to purr 2 years ago and now is a fuss monster

2:18 am

I have 5 cats - my eldest is 17 and refuses to come inside - only eats, drinks and straight back outside. It is winter here and he sleeps under a car. I have put a cat bed out for him but he sleeps right alongside it. He is very thin and getting quite stiff in his movements - really dont know what more to do :(

2:18 am

The two we have left march over keyboards often. One almost managed to post something I was writing a couple of days ago, lol!

2:19 am

nothing more you can do, ursh... sounds like he has a mind of his own.

2:19 am

so sweet, Katie :)

2:20 am

My other cat regularly cuts off calls by rolling on the keyboard, she in banned from the office when I am in phone meetings for work

2:20 am

my cat used to lie down on my keyboard whenever I was writing or playing. Very insistently too, lol.

2:22 am

Ursh, that's cat behavior. The guy we had to help over the Bridge was starting to sleep in the litter box a couple of weeks ago. Hard decisions. I was hoping he'd cross on his own, but no. This cat was a survivor from day 1. Hubby's daughter brought him home when she was 7 or 8. She didn't want him when she "grew up" so he stayed with her dad. She's 31 now.

2:22 am

So there's this guy... And he flies into Babbleland in his AE==plane. But he muffed his landing, and he set the plane AF ===! Now, this AF=== mentioned guy saunters up to us, and asks if anyone knows the cost of AI===== from Babbleland to Scotland. Seems he has a few AI== coins in his pocket and he hopes to spend them there. But we wouldn't want to get too AN=== him, as he smells of gasoline. He also seems to have a habit of pulling his pants bottoms out from his AN==; quite disgusting! In fact, the whole AR== of Babbleland wants to run away from this guy! He starts a fight with someone, and suddenly, Babbleland has become an AR=== for a fight! But true to her nature, Jai steps up, and starts to sing an off-key AR==, which makes everyone laugh. (She does AS==== to be a singer. But we all are getting headaches from her music, and are passing AS===== around behind her back!) So then, the smelly guy pulls some AU=== coins from his pocket, and says he wants to go to Rome instead... But we just told him to shove it in his AU===! He was so offended, he left in a huge huff, and his leaving caused an AU==== in the sky! And then more AU===== came! We felt positively AU======!!! But as you are AW===, this is the end of all the A's, so I must close. Enjoy!

2:23 am

Haha, Ursh, I just posted a pic of our youngest parked on hub's keyboard. Wish we could post pix here.

2:23 am

yessssss she is back! Awesome, jai!

2:24 am

Tx Kam - but our cats are allowed in and out as they please - Ginger just prefers to be outside cold or wet doesnt matter to him

2:26 am

I have to say only 1 of the 5 cats is mine - the others all belonged to family members who could no longer keep them - cat hotel here :):)

2:26 am

fireflies. Not an easy grid for me, but fun! Thanks for the company, ladies. *hugs* to you all. May you have a blessed day and a peaceful night. *leaves hug in chog for rose to find*

2:26 am

Hope you feel better soon sprite x

2:27 am

thanks :)

2:27 am

Ursh, we have a dog/cat door, so they come and go as they please. But I found what seems to be bear scat in the yard yesterday. We're in the Sierra foothills, but only about 500ft. Bears shouldn't be down here! However, so many fires have driven wildlife places where they don't usually go.

2:28 am

Grats, Sprite! Feel better!

2:29 am

Fireworks! >>>>>%%%%%&&&&&)))))>>>>>! Nite, all!

2:29 am

Congrats jai

2:31 am

TY! Have a good rest of your days, people! See you in an hour after I try to sleep, and fail. LOL!

2:33 am

hi and bye, then, jai, and thanks for the A story, which I've just finished and got all my A's from, hee hee

2:34 am

I am glad! Have a good day, Rbud!

2:35 am

and hi to everyone else still around. :)

2:38 am

Hi rbud

2:39 am

phantom word: wafarin ( blood thinner)

2:39 am

Damn you autocorrect *rbud

2:39 am

Seriously it told me it had posted Bruce!

2:40 am

and for some reason, I keep thinking that I am seeing a Leprechaun in the puzzle!

2:40 am

I hate predictive text...

2:41 am

haha, Bruce - I guess I can see how it would maybe predict that... but it's a stretch...

2:42 am

Could just call me "bud", some do, though I'm never sure if it's a typo or on purpose

2:44 am

it's really short for "rosebud" from long years past. before I was even on the internet, I had license plates that said "RBUD 1" but got tired of explaining them. Many wild interpretations popped up over the couple of years I had those.

2:49 am

I just use Kate for coffees, restaurant bookings and taxis as it is much easier than correcting and explaining my’real’ name

2:51 am

my favorite theory was from an obviously stoned longhair giggling and pointing at my van - when we got out of it, he asked if we grew "it", as he assumed we were saying "our bud's #1"

2:53 am

then there were the Budweiser variations...

2:53 am

I better be off to start my day, take care all x

2:54 am

have a good one! :)

3:18 am

this is, as previously noted, not such a fun one. having struggled to 100, with both "nb's", I think I'll wander off. Laters! :)

3:52 am

6:52 am

6:54 am

Right. Absolutely. And I am a cougar to boot,

6:54 am

Well I'm sorry about your teeth :( Will you be able to get them replaced quickly???

6:56 am

7:06 am

My feet are the worst ttoçdayù l can barely walk.

7:06 am

Bonjour...Did I read right? Afrais of stairs?

7:07 am

Thd meds (cfeams, ec) don't do anything

7:07 am

Do you have neuropathy?

7:08 am

Sorry, that was an old, unsent message, but yiur understanding is perfect.

7:08 am

I do- I take Lyrica, and it really helps.

7:08 am

ty jai!

7:08 am

Oh! My French is really rusty.

7:09 am

YW. Any others needed?

7:09 am

not at the moment ty

7:09 am

The oral chemo l'm taking (Xeloda) has a side effect in which your feet crack apart. The onky thing that helps is morhine and l've alrady taken 30 mg today

7:09 am

K- hollar if needed.

7:10 am

Omg...Dry feet! Ugh. Have you tried wrapping them in really cold, wet washcloths?

7:10 am

Sundays are the worst!

7:11 am

I hear you. I am on Hydromorph and pain is really bad today. Why are Sundays bad?

7:12 am

l have a waxy crem for the fissures and a soothing crepme for the rest. This is all very hard -- forgive me for being such a wyhiner!

7:13 am

No. Do NOT apologize. It's okay. You should be able to tell us how it is. I hate it when people are faking that they are "okay".

7:13 am

Sunday is the only day with nobody coming. The big event will be my sisteers phone call in the afternoon.

7:14 am

I love this "joke": Do you know what "fine" means? (As in, I'm fine!) F***ed up, Insecure, Neurotic, and Emotional.

7:15 am

l think that sometimes l abuse the privilegeof being in this group of very kind souls

7:15 am

I am sorry. Would you like me to call you?

7:16 am

No, but thank you. The morph is "kicking in" LOL, so l'll probably just sleep the rest of the day.

7:17 am

If nott for the dogs, l'd never get out f bed

7:17 am

No. I do not feel "abused". And I mean it when I say I will call. Truly- I can call myou on Messenger.

7:18 am

That sounds familiar. My hubby helps me almost too much- but my pain is truly horrific, and I cannot wal today. I feel like I am in labor!

7:18 am

My baby dog, Raffie (64 lbs of stinky, beautiul, lovely dog.

7:19 am

So- no worries. We do not mind. And telling facts is not whining. I am impressed that you are doing the puzzle despite everything.

7:20 am

Yes- my "baby" ndog of 64 lbs of denture-chewing Labness...

7:20 am

7:22 am

Cute. They have an indulgent Mommy. :)

7:23 am

Sometimes she comes in at exactly 3PM, talk about "Watch dogs!)

7:24 am

My name and such are on FB- if you want me to call you, message me there- K? Oh! Funny! Watch dogs! Watch out for "ticks"!

7:24 am

You think? They changed a lot when my husband died and are much more attentive and close to me now. l guess he diluted some of their affection<<<<<;

7:25 am

When did he die? And you have cancer, no?

7:25 am

l'mnot adept at computer stuff but the morph has kicked in!

7:25 am

Good! Enjoy!

7:26 am

He was 18 yrs older and died two & 1/2 yeears ago of Alzheimer's. l'm glad he's not around to see me like this.$

7:27 am

Oh, dear... See you w/ the C, you mean?

7:28 am

My cancer from 1988came back after 25 years. lt's Lucky that l was strong, healthy and atthletic when it started or l'd surely be deadL.

7:29 am

8:09 am

not too far along myself :)

8:10 am

It's not a grid of rapid progress so far.

8:15 am

I have just started too not gotten very far

8:16 am

It's a one word at a time grid - no keyboards will go up in flames today.

8:17 am

seems like it so far

8:19 am

So, I was in NYC the other day... I took a cab, and after the driver told me what the FA== was going to be, he told me a joke: What do you call an Egyptian ruler who likes Cream of Wheat? Why, the FA==== FA==!!! Haha. (I know, FA== is a gambling game, but I like the pun...) So, are we all FI== today? Are you FI=== than I? I'll bet you wish I said, "FI=== with the Puns, Jai!" Okay, I will FI====. In a minute. Did you read my "A" story? The pilot in my story set his plane on FI==. Now, here's a fun fact I did not know: FI== is packed snow that is on its way to being a glacier! Do people with a Cockney accent really say "FO==" instead of FI==??? And those dressed up, fancy Brit guys? Regular FO== they are! Another fun fact: If you have a hole in your head, you might use FO== as a prefix for your new hole! How did you get that hole in your head? I got mine because I did not duck when the golfer said, "FO==!" If I was FR== Scotland, I might say the word "from" this way- it's an old way of saying that word. But one would think that the next word was related to that one... but no! FR==== are folds of skin. I should know; I have a lot of them on my old body. FR=== means nearly the same, as in the one under your tongue. By this point, you might be wondering if you are still my FR===. You are. I love you all! Do you have a dog? Is it a Bichon FR===? Last winter, my garden hose froze and became a "FR===" Truly! And it did FR=== (OE past tense here) Perhaps not as funny, but hopefully helpful!

8:19 am

9:19 am

the fa6 word always brings a smile to my face - reminds me of the singing duo, richard and mimi (she was joan baez' sister)

9:19 am

I like saying the words serendipity and synchronicity, and I love when they occur.

9:20 am

I used the word serendipitous the other day. Found a magazine about caregiving.

9:21 am

Scrabs, is there a resource I can use to find a good doctor?

9:24 am

Ask other people, Bea. Choose an internist associated with a teaching hospital, a good hospital.

9:25 am

Thanks. I am looking for a internal med dr that specializes in gerintology for my mom.

9:27 am

Oh, yes, then find a geriatrician.

9:29 am

25 left...time to unpack some more boxes...bzz...

Although internists take care of many elderly folks as lifespans are increasing.

normally i am advocating for un words that don't count, such as "unhit" - you're fighting a battle and so far you're unhit, right? but the un5/6 today i really do not see how that can be a thing.

No clues needed, thanks. I'm just playing a few words before I start on my next batch of raspberry jam. The berries are VERY abundant this year!

2:30 pm

mmmmm, go you diane

2:30 pm

Yum! Maybe I need to make a trip to Canada! Raspberries are my favorite. We don't have a lot of them in my area. we do have a lot of blueberries at the beginning of the summer.

2:30 pm

Alright, I'm off like a dirty shirt.

2:31 pm

phantom: subpoena

48 jars so far, maybe one more batch and the rest I will freeze. They are so good on ice cream all winter!

I'm just waiting for the blueberries to come in from B.C. The small clamshells are in the stores but they are expensive and from California I think. ......I will wait ;-)

9:44 pm

Hi folks

9:48 pm

hi origami

9:49 pm

Waiting for it to cool down enough to take the beasties out. And listening to the Neil Young 1971 BBC concert.

9:50 pm

what animal do you have?

9:51 pm

Two dogs. They need their walk/exercise. But too hot still.

9:51 pm

I see

9:51 pm

Well, I have a cat also. But she takes care of her exercise herself :D

10:35 pm

95 in sac when I went through it

10:40 pm

Cooled down a bit. Welcome home!

10:47 pm

my dogs are ecstatic I'm home. I got the best welcome

10:48 pm

I was just writing to bugs to thank her for everything.

10:49 pm

I bet they are. Did you board them or have someone stay at your house?

10:50 pm

no.. I had petsitters stay here.. 24/7

10:50 pm

it's safer and better for me.. and my dogs are safe

10:53 pm

I'm looking at finding a good boarding place for my dogs - I'm going away for a week in August and again in October. My son's friend was living here, so I never had to worry. He'll be gone then.

10:58 pm

just arrived to finish and now off to check the mail. We had great fun but sore backs, origami.

10:59 pm

I heard there was "icing" involved. Hope ya'll mend up son :D

11:00 pm

*soon* rather

11:01 pm

the best is TAPPEN HILL ori

11:01 pm

just sent you an email bugs

11:05 pm

I will check it out. Darn dogs cost us a fortune, eh?

11:06 pm

absolutely

11:06 pm

tappen hill is the safest and the best.. and your dogs will have a blast

11:06 pm

I wouldn't put my dogs anywhere else

11:07 pm

Glad you had a good time Bugsy!

11:07 pm

Glad you had a good time Bugsy!

11:07 pm

Strange double-posting - sorry.

11:10 pm

my back is killing me though

11:10 pm

I see they have a pool - which my GSHP would love! My coonhound looks at water and dips her toes in. Maybe, if it is really hot :D

11:11 pm

they have a indoor run and outdoor run.. they're exercised every hour on the hour.. pool time.. play time.. if meds are necessary.. they're given correctly.

11:12 pm

It's really a great place.. I can't leave Dylan anywhere now due to his special condition.. but I have left my other dogs there and it's tremendous and super safe.

11:13 pm

Pricey - but peace of mind is worth a lot. Thanks. I'll probably contact them.

11:14 pm

So - why do you both have sore backs??

11:15 pm

if it is an extended stay ori.. it's worth it.

11:15 pm

also.. you have to bring the dogs to be evaluated first to get them temperament tested by Annie the owner.

11:16 pm

If you two don't tell me the cause of your sore backs, I'll just make something up in my mind :D

11:19 pm

po6,24 please - read earlier chat on po + verb or being + laughter exclamation but need another clue.

11:20 pm

I am back... we went on an open boat ride to search for whales and hit some choppy seas. The captain went at speed so there was a lot of air time, then slamming down over each wave. We could have given him the sign to slow down but we were all holding on for dear life instead. It was memorable but I am achy today.

11:20 pm

the whale tour was on rough seas.. and my back couldn't take it

11:21 pm

I'm kind of in agony today

11:21 pm

Ouch.

11:22 pm

ha! fireworks

11:23 pm

I don't think sitting on a plane helped you much either

11:23 pm

no.. It really didn't.. neither did TSA in Seattle

11:23 pm

Congrats clg

11:24 pm

Uh oh, ru. Were you aggressively frisked?

11:25 pm

LOL.. in my dreams :D

11:46 pm
