My kidlings reverse personality for the vet, too. Lucy, who wouldn't say boo to a mouse, hisses and growls, but thankfully doesn't try to scratch or bite. Swiffer, normally the bossy little control freak, cowers and whimpers and tries to crawl under Lucy. Weirdness. ETA: Heh, when reading that Lucy wouldn't say boo to a mouse, that reminded me of something that happened last week. There is a common hallway for the 4 apartments in my building and the kiddoes like me to prop my door open so they can explore. I watched them both very interested in something at the base of the stairs. Suddenly, Lucy grabs it and carries it out into the open with Swiffer hot on her heels. About then, I'm thinking maybe I should go find out what is it before they let it escape, but suddenly Lucy is crunching away! Must have been good, because they both nosed around looking for scraps and then went back to the stairs to look for more. Thankfully, they didn't find anything else, but they were disappointed. So, apparently Lucy will say boo to a bug.

Not sure what happened there. I was responding to Brattinella's post (last one on page 209) and originally it showed up as right below hers. Now there's a whole bunch of stuff in between.

OMG, is she the one with the unworldly blue eyes? Yeah, Bunny is a good name for her. Energizer Bunny.

Preach it, sister!

*snerk* He just keeps going and going. With a Jeff Foxworthy vibe.

It is hella pricey, but I love it. It even has a night light (a pretty blue that I find one of my cats staring at) and a drawer full indicator light. If you ignore that, it quits cycling until you change the liner. You can also program it to turn off at night if the cycling noise bothers you. https://www.litter-robot.com/litter-robot-iii-open-air.html

I admit I buy the liner bags for my automatic litter box. Spent a shit ton for that thing, but I never have to scoop; just change the drawer liner every 4 days or so for two kitties. I love that thing.

Man, my allergies are acting up.

My Mom bought one of those shrinking hoses and then complained it didn't shrink back up. Did you leave the sprayer on so the water could get out, I asked. Umm, no. LOL She is 80 and she tries to keep up with the newest things, so I'll give her a pass. She's pretty good about not repeating her mistakes. I had a Ped-Egg and liked it, but flove those spinney things that are like sandpaper for your feet. I spend 12 hr shifts on my feet, and the older I get, the more the calluses build up. Come home, take a shower and run those things over my feet on top of the dirty towel. I'm good.

Maybe I'm a sap, but I loved this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBxMpuiBO7Q

Oh, I don't know - "Whitesnake" being played on the recorder makes me laugh every time.

Well said!

OMG, is he OK?

<3 Yes, Imp was all black. He was such a good boy. Congratulations on finishing active treatment. My treatment was in 2010. I guess the good part was it was all in the same calendar year, so only had to go through the out of pocket and deductibles once. :) Mine was also breast. I did 6 months of chemo (clinical trial that doubled the number of drugs and length of time), bilateral MX without reconstruction, followed by 6 weeks of radiation. Not complaining, though. It was screamingly aggressive, but I lucked out on it not spreading. I threw the mother-fucking kitchen sink at it and lopped off the other breast before it got any bright ideas about trying to kill me. No regrets.

He asks, "Am I an extra crispy boy?"

(((Happy Belly))) My Imp had megacolon. He only lasted a little under 4 years on daily Lactulose with multiple "clogs". I'd massage his tummy afterward because it would give him cramps. I had made the mistake of starting him out on only dry food, so when he developed megacolon and needed to up his water intake, he wouldn't touch anything else. Even tried pumpkin puree and baby food, but no go. It was so frustrating, I can't tell you how many times I cried. He hated going in to get cleaned out and starting hiding how he felt. He perfed his gut before I realized. This was right after I'd gone through a year of cancer treatment, and he'd been there for me. I still feel like I failed him by not realizing how sick he was. *tears*

Yeah, the family was already out of their comfort zone with ghosts, but when Amy tells them some of it is aliens and they can't do anything about it? Very uncomfortable. So, the little things holding the lady down and laughing because she was afraid, were they aliens, too? Because I have problems believing a culture advanced enough to travel across the galaxy would do so just to partake in cruel and juvenile pranks on the locals.

I think they were minimizing the damage they caused, like the obnoxious woman who just "tapped" the bumper of a station wagon and then adds, "No big deal..." Yeah, I don't think it's up to you to determine how big of a deal it is that you HIT SOMEONE. That is a cute callback, but when he says "Your perfect record doesn't get you anything!", I'm yelling, "You don't HAVE a perfect record any more! You hit someone, remember?" I could be wrong because it was a long time ago, but I thought non-talc powders were developed because of the dangers of talc.

I just responded to this in the Annoyed thread.

I think that's the first time I've seen it spelled out that the borrower can be foreclosed on for "not maintaining the property"! What the hell does that even mean? Seems like that could be verrrry subjective. But hey, it's not just another way for the bank to get your house, right Tom?

Saw another commercial that made me wonder if the cheaters have taken over the ads. Travelocity has an ad that touts "Wander wisely. Then come home with someone new." Except he's really saying, "Come home as someone new." Phew!

Just for funsies: Which Harry Potter House Does Your Cat Belong In? Lucy is a sweet, loveable Hufflepuff, while Swiffer is a Ravenclaw: "Your cat is worryingly smart. Your cat is like the raptors in the first Jurassic Park movie who figure out how to test the fence for weaknesses. ... It is VERY fortunate for all of us that your cat loves you very much. It’s the only reason she hasn’t used that uncanny ability to figure out how doorknobs work in a bid to take over the world." Heh, that sounds about right. Found another one not specifically for cats.

As do I. With those types of cereal, I usually pour the milk in the bowl and just add the amount of cereal I can eat before it gets soggy, then pour in some more. I seriously love Wheaties, but damn, it goes bad faster than McDonald's fries.

The squirrel is cute, but... what is the point of the ad? That you can shoot video on your phone? Don't most/all smart phones have that capability? So, congratulations? This phone does what every other phone does? Not a super selling point, there.

Is it this one?
