Yum, chocolate birthday cake in a bowl covered with cold milk. I love cake in milk. :hubba:
sounds like you'd love tres leches cake! First the texture was just too weird, but after i got over that, I really liked it. I much prefer semi melted ice cream with cake to milk.

Well it is not even 9:00 a.m. and I've already learned what a paw paw and a telemere is
yanno someone had to


I know what paw paws are, and remember telemeres from HS science, but had to look it up to refresh my memory.

I've been carrying on with my gluten/sugar free diet and as of today I have lost 20 pounds.

What's a "line" cut?
A line cut is what you get for a long hair at the beginning of summer. They take a lot off the underside, and shorten the top. Keeps them from suffering so much from the heat, and maybe helps a bit with the shedding problem.

I once got my cats a Furminator to keep them nice and well groomed. They don't get handled enough to appreciate it, but it works great on an oversize bath towel I spread on the bed for them. Barney is a long hair black cat, and the left over fur does not come out in the wash, except for just enough to get black hair on every thing else I own. I tried macramé, but haven't the patience for it.

Sorry, I don't think I can do that to my kitty. Maybe not quite that short.

We didn't know what we were going to get with that cut either until I went to pick her up. (The picture of that cat was with a brand new cut.) Yes, we were shocked, but her fur grew in over the summer and she had a nice coat by winter. By Spring she was matting up again and there was no way I would shave her! Cats skin is so thin I was afraid I'd take a chunk out of her. There was no choice about shaving that close when getting rid of the mats anyway. If your cat doesn't have a problem with matting maybe they don't have to cut her that close. Check with a vet to see. They'd probably be able to recommend a good groomer.

A bud of mine named Bud sent this to me. Too good not to share:




GOT MY CONCEALED CARRY PERMIT YESTERDAY, so in the afternoon, I went over to the local Bass Pro shop to get a small 9mm handgun for home/personal protection.

When I was ready to pay for the pistol and ammo, the cashier said, "Strip down, facing me."

Making a mental note to complain to the NRA about the gun control wackos running amok, I did just as she had instructed.

When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided, I found out she was referring to how I should place my credit card in the card reader!!!

As an intelligent senior citizen, I do not get flustered often. But this time, it took me a while to get my pants back on.

I've been asked to shop elsewhere in the future. They need to make their instructions to seniors a little more clear.

I still don't think I looked that bad.

He does but, the vet just cut out the matted parts and he was good to go. Doesn't seem like she cut it that close either. We'll see next spring. I have clippers a day just try to stay on top of it. He fought until the vet cut the first matted piece off then it was like, "oh yeah, I likes dat! :):):)".

That's exactly what needs to happen though. We have been going to the negotiating table however and giving up a disproportionate number of concessions hoping that the folks we are negotiating with care as much as we do. Unfortunately they don't seem to as evidenced by the failure of thousands of casualties to effect their thinking. The "have nots" never care as much as the "haves". Personally I think the good old US of A has given as much as we need to and it's time for our partners on the planet step up to the plate. It has to be even handed and worldwide to work and to prevent economic harm to some of the players. This clean living ain't cheap.

Yep, and isn't it ironic that we could work so hard to clean up the air and water and then a volcano or 2 pops it's top and poof! And while we regulate and fine and legislate, others are canceling out whatever gains we make. Meanwhile there's Big money to be made in the eco business! And scientists would need to find something else to keep their paychecks coming!

It's amazing to think that when the earth was being created there was tons of stuff being shot into the atmosphere by natural earth activity and ice ages and floods etc happen and yet somehow we still ended up with with what we think are gorgeous land masses. We think what we have now is normal, but normal for a planet is ever changing whether we like it or not. That's not to say that we shouldn't try to take care of what we've got, even when others are refusing. Maybe we should kill off half the population and then the EPA wouldn't need to exist.

Ya had to go and post a Dylan song. Just saw that his Highway 61 album is 50 years old this year. Yikes! Really! (feeling a bit old :()

Yeah well, have you seen Dylan lately? He looks like he's 106! Glad I was just a babe when he put that one out!

I'm up late this evening. That nap around 5:30pm sure helped. Heading to the horizontal surface shortly. Just wanted to say goodnight to everyone and looking forward to continuing the conversation tomorrow. Night guys (girls too).

Just saw an article that said that people who took afternoon naps live longer! Lowers BP! Yay for us! (until the next study comes out)

Janet, that would be ironic if it was true, but it's not. In fact, one day of commercial air traffic puts more CO2 in the atmosphere than the biggest active volcano can manage in the same time period. The one person who made the claim that you're repeating is a geologist named Ian Plimer, a consultant for the oil industry who was paid huge money to make that bogus claim.

Naturally, Plimer's claim was embraced by many people who would rather believe that we can't do anything to bring about change.

CO2 emissions caused by humans are 130 times greater than CO2 emissions from volcanos, as you can read in this article:

Hahahahaha! Yep, that's pretty much the lion cut except our cat had a mane and less hair on the feet. Her tail just had a fluffy tip. But yep, that's what her body looked like! She slinked around the house from one hiding place to another for a few hours when we got her home. Then she figured out she had a lot less work to do to clean herself and ended up walking around like she owned the place, which she pretty much did. I'm glad we weren't there to see them doing the shaving! With this haircut she just loved jumping on our laps to get a good rub down and she purred like crazy!
Oh, but they feel so eeird when tjey are naked like that! A friend of my Mom has a Hairless Chihuahua. They have to keep sunscreen on it to even take it out to potty. And it loves me. The only dog i've ever had an issue snuggling with. But my hands stick to it when I try to pet it! [emoji15]
