FWIW, she still is a widow. Displaying her emotions on her TV show may be over the top, but on the other hand, perhaps it is helpful to others who are experiencing the same kind of grief. They were married a long time, he's the father of her child, and I could definitely be wrong, but didn't they have a relatively amicable divorce? Personally, I just watch for the cooking and because she seems like a very nice person.

Not tired here!

New favorite. The dog's voice is perfection

That is strangely hilarious and disturbing.

I believe that mindthinkr and emmawoodhouse were saying that Rosie might have been the little girl who grew up to tell this story..

Blintzes?

I'm loving "I am MR. NIMBUS!!"

We are animals.

Funny, there was a discussion a while back in the Who, What, When, Where?!: Miscellaneous Celebrity News 2.0 forum* about Angelina Jolie giving her mother that ultimatum when she was a teen. Her mother's solution was to let Angelina's boyfriend move into her house. Explains a lot. *The discussion was many pages back and I don't have the stamina to try to find it

Dr. Emma does wonders with scars, and it's incredible how much dermatology has advanced. I felt bad for him but with or without scars, I agree with sempervivum that wow, he sure is a handsome man!

Getting older doesn't help coping with grief. That's a very individual thing.

There's a middle option. I have filters on my gutters and it's more like teeny tiny chicken wire than the ultra filter. Definitely keeps the big stuff out including leaves and maple tree seeds.

The Sven cookies were freaking adorable.

It's really hard to go back to some of these old shows if you didn't see them the first time around because you can't help but view them with a different lens. When I watch now, it's totally cringeworthy. But at the time, the situations were not as odd as they appear now. The 70's feel like a thousand years ago. As for the screeching of Julie and Ann, I can personally say that it was annoying even 50 years ago.

Solid.

Yes it really is Matthew Gray Gubler. There are also bunches more here: https://www.adsoftheworld.com/media/film/petco_its_what_wed_want_if_we_were_pets

These shows were on D+ last year, so maybe they have a year embargo ?

Hold up partner! I'm sure you meant that as a generalization, because some of us boomers are enlightened, evidence-based seekers of knowledge. It may have not been talked about much in 1999, but I sure knew it was wrong when my parents (depression era) made terribly outdated racist comments. In the 70's, well before I was 19, I recognized my parents were wrong. Because of that, and staying on topic, I'm in the camp of not giving her a total pass. I like the suggestion from merylinkid where she says something along the lines of "yeah I did. Looking back it was wrong. I've learned since then."

Agree, and that show is hugely dated when looking through the current lens. I was obsessed with this show as a pre-teen, (Randy Mantooth sure helped with that) and recall that paramedics were not a 'thing' back then. The idea of having paramedics was completely novel and the show has been credited with elevating the program nationally. It was pretty groundbreaking 50 years ago. Shit. Can it really be 50 fucking years ago??????

Jeez, it seems like yesterday. That was a sad, odd day.

I guess they're creating a market for it.

I have a couple of thoughts to start with. Are the scratching posts horizontal, vertical, or both? They have preferences for that, and also texture. Try different ones: carpet, sisal, and the one that I've had the most success with is corrugated cardboard. I have yet to find a cat that didn't like this: PetFusion Ultimate Cat Scratcher Lounge In addition, you may want to wrap the cabinet leg with Sticky Paws (you can get this in tons of places) while you're trying to get her to change behaviors. A great resource to keep on hand is the American Association of Feline Practitioners website. There is great information for cat owners at https://www.catfriendly.com https://catfriendly.com/cat-care-at-home/living-clawed-cat/ - this is specific to the issue you have. Let me know if anything helps! If not, I can pull out a bazillion more resources, but these should get you started. Don't do too many things at once.

I know the squirt bottle sounds like a good way to keep the cat from doing things you don't like, but if I can add my 2 cents, please don't do it! While it is a bit if a deterrent, short term it's actually a punishment that has consequences you may not realize, I share this only because I am 100% certain that all of you have only the best intentions and love for your animals: The punishment may be associated with you, which can damage the bond. That doesn't seem to be the case with Prevailing Wind, however you can tell she's stressed by what she did to the bottle, Your cat may begin to do the behavior when you're not there S/he may start doing a different bad behavior somewhere else It's extremely distressing to your cat, and that part hurts my heart Positive reinforcement is the key! There ends your veterinary PSA.

If god can catch Schenee, then he's definitely omnipotent. That could make me a believer.
