Hugs to you and Cavendish (and Cosmo and Lady Reese, because they are adorable), @Scarlett45. The late Kitty Gunderson the Elder (RIP Best Girl) had UTIs basically every 3 or 4 months for the last few years of her long life. We were frequent guests of our local emergency vet. I’m so sorry both of you are going through this; I remember how scary and upsetting it was.

C, so my cat finally realizes who is the boss in this situation.

I’m now confident that I did the right thing by taking off the day before, day of, and day after my colonoscopy and endoscopy! I thought it might be overkill, but everyone’s stories are convincing me more time off is better.

@Gramto6, I am intrigued by the Red Boat salt! My lunch was less interesting - chili dogs with American cheese and chopped onion. I am forgoing dinner for obvious reasons. Actually, now that I think about it, I haven’t been in the mood for dinner for the last couple of weeks, no matter what I ate earlier in the day. Hmm, that’s a bit unusual.

My guess is that Jonathan started his own lawn care business and Philip is one of his employees. Lawn care or something similar seems to be popular with the fundies.

Good luck with the colonoscopy! I have a colonoscopy and an endoscopy scheduled in a couple of weeks. I am dreading both.

That is so incredibly tacky, even for a family that sets the bar low.

It’s crazy that either - or both - of those could be true.

And I’m assuming that the majority (if not all) of people who donate to the Rods are also feeling the pinch of higher gas prices, higher food prices, etc. And this will in no way affect their vacation plans this summer because she deserves it, no matter what new expenses might come up! (Also, who believes that David has enough print jobs that he’s working 24/7?)

Oh, FFS. She didn’t act like they thought a victim should, therefore she wasn’t credible. Where have we heard this before?

Exactly! Why mess with perfection?

Since when has Jinger expressed any interest in vintage anything? Or, should I ask when has Jeremy expressed an interest in anything vintage, since Jinger’s only interests are his interests.

Okay, this confuses me: she’s just NOW learning about adding fruits and vegetables to her diet? I have no words (well, I do, but none that I should type out) monkfruit sweetened maple syrup? Why would one add sweetener to maple syrup? What kind of fuckery is this? I cant believe that anyone would take any kind of nutritional or lifestyle advice from her, much less buy that stupid Plexus.

This would be an appropriate use of Duggar as an adjective - “Absolutely duggar!” It could be used in so many ways - for describing just-below-the-knee denim skirts, the overuse of shiplap, random unsafe placement of shelves, inappropriate mini golf course humping, you get the picture.

I don’t have a problem with a reporter asking Jessa about Josh. It was a big scandal and in the news recently, so of course a journalist is going to ask. (Although snapping a picture with Jessa was odd). A regular random person asking Jessa about it would be beyond tacky (like Jill R. level tacky.)

I hate hot weather so very much. It’s in the low 80s here and I’m already annoyed. We put in mini-split air conditioning last year and am kicking myself for not doing it sooner. I will have to turn it on tonight.

@Rabbittron, I’m sorry for your loss, and for your mother being back in the hospital. You and your family are in my thoughts.

Yeah, one of those kids is definitely going to turn on a burner if they don’t remove the knobs. I came home from work one day to find one of my gas burners on, and it clearly had been on for some time. My cat had tried to jump on the stove (she was a terrible jumper) and had to scramble with her back paws, turning on the burner in the process. I yelled at her and then hugged her and cried (she was my precious Best Girl). After that, I removed the knobs until I turned on the stove. [I assume it was my cat, since I lived alone in a studio apartment. Although I guess it could have been a ghost.]

Baz, Jeremy and Paul. I watch the episodes for their scenes, and for Beard hula-hooping at the end.

BBQ baked beans, kielbasa, copycat KFC coleslaw (reminds me of my grandma’s) and corn muffins.

@CalicoKitty, one of my cats (the calico) randomly gets scared of the ceiling fan! She goes weeks without noticing, then one day looks up, sees the fan, ducks, and slinks away. We have to leave it off for a few days until she stops looking at it. Topic - I agree, she should have put ceiling fans in. It gets hot in AR and they presumably can use all the cooling they can get. Cheaper than running the AC, and they don’t have to worry about the kids knocking over a floor fan.

I am amused that Nurie is featured in the picture, but her headship is crouching down to be out of the shot.

What a little cutie! I’ve always been partial to Trixie for a kitten, sweet and a bit mischievous.

I gave that a fire reaction because it was a good BURN!

No, that’s just the adage “good things come in threes” playing out in real life. You’re safe!
