Formula 44 is good beside Anus flavoring.
BTW I think they stopped making Formula 44?
I always liked it for cough syrup.
Gack, I can't abide that taste; licorice, anise, any of that yuck, it's just nasty. My son told me he enjoyed Jaegermeister; I told him I might have to disown him.

Please , no , just no.
I agree, how about some astronomy instead.
Is Uranus a gas giant?
It is the seventh planet from the Sun.
It has the third-largest planetary radius and fourth-largest planetary mass in the Solar System.
Dedicate this post to the American Lung Association.
Calling them out for "deeply troubling conduct"
heard radio-guy say they discovered a planet 13 times larger than Saturn...

My husband and I both love dogs too, but dogs are a little more labor-intensive; they have to be trained not to piddle and poop in the house, while cats know instinctively what to do with a box of sand; dogs make a lot of noise, and have to be trained on that too, as to when it's appropriate and when it's not, and even then, ehh, they forget a lot.Cats are very quiet, unless they're in heat or mating -- and once fixed, they don't make that sound anymore.
So... we might get a dog sometime, if we can ever afford to fence in our backyard. In the meantime, we're enjoying our cat tremendously, and might get another in a few years.

Yes, what you say of dogs is very true. I understand seeing chaining dogs out as cruel. We have one chained out, not as a matter of cruelty though.
It is simply how a dog of his nature is treated in our area. He is a mix, Pit Bull and Lab. We have neighbors who often have small children in their yard.
Not so worried in regards to the Great Pyrenees / Lab mutts, over them going after children. Not genuinely worried Thistle would either. Still, it is better to not rock little boats, have neighbors too irked that a Pit is roaming.
The others have a pen. Presently two of them hop out. I will be fixing that asap. One of the three GP / Lab mixes does stay in the pen.
Think he likes the 12'x12'x8' house we built for them inside the pen. Our given situation here is becoming untenable, not all due to the critters. There's other issues at work.
Me and wife are looking toward a place with 4 acres, pig pen, chicken coop and all fenced in. We will be finding a way to take the dog house with us. Our dogs will then all be free to roam most of the farm.
Wife last night was suggesting that our cats might like the notion of being kept cats. I had to chuckle. "They're brn cats, they don't want to come into the house", I told her.
"They try sneaking in any chance they get", she said. She is right. I had to stretch.
"Nah, they're just little assassins out to kill me and infiltrating the house gets them closer to that", I said. It was clear that she did not buy that explanation.
As for Thistle. He has his own private coop. It is the half shed, her Paw Paw used to rick firewood on a refrigerated truck bed with a pitched tin roof. The truck bed makes a good floor when rough lumber is put over it.
Thistle has a old carpet scrap rug that he settles down into at night. I say scrap but figure it's 8'Lx6'W and doubled over. I also ensure he has straw to insulate. The shed has lumber walls on two sides, abuts the barn on a third.
Had my way and druthers, he'd just as soon be a kept dog. He and our little squirrel dog would make a good pairing as in home security. That though, is kind of one aspect of things being untenable.
Odd how human children, even if neglected, seem to outweigh critter children who are in fact loved. I digress though as boiling blood is never good. That's all what comes of thinking of things, much.
Excuse me, rambling in excess for as early as it is.

Thank You. Your right it's never easy. It's been 10 days and being the big lug that I am I can't get over him. We have 5 cats still but he was very special to me! More Dog than Cat. Followed me everywhere hence the name Shadow. We made his last few weeks as comfortable as possible. He spent his last day out on the lanai (his favorite place) watching the sunset. He tried to get up and could not so we knew the time had come.
Me and my Buddy chillin out this past summer!
* chuckles * Kind of sounds akin to Brother "Br". He takes me task and is the supervisor. The GP / Lab mutts' mother kind of took him under wing. Br thought he was puppy.
Well, Br ensures everyone gets fed and weer (water). He walks me through the process of a morn and evening. He also does come when someone is out of water, gives me what for.
He likes to walk the bottom here with me. Going around the parameter of 3 acres once is around a quarter mile I'm told. Weather fares well and I can get through some pain, I try circling four times a day at least. Br walks right along.
We have Bucky now too. Swear he's a Br clone. He too walks along, has started acting like Br in as much as ensuring feeding and watering go on. Not sure they realize I do it anyway. *chuckles*
It's alright. Know the difference between cats and dogs. You feed a dog, you're a god. Feed a cat, they're a god. But Br & Bucky seem to have done the amazing this Winter.
First time we've lived here and not had field mice come into the old drafty hovel in Winter. I'm proud of those two tom cats, they disprove only mommy cats are good mousers. I told them that was their rent, keep us free of mice.
I can understand how loss lingers. Still recall having to had another old dog put down. Much as I thought I would, I could not. My mom took him to see the vet, stayed with him.
She told me that he understood. He was a smart ... Airedale terrier mutt that my brother got from the pound when I was fifteen. He was with us until I was well into my thirties. I miss him still, he was also a very mellow fellow.
I would be lost without critter kids. Wife jokingly suggested we move into the city. I jokingly told her, "one word, begins with D." She chuckled and confessed that she had no stomach for city life either.
Well trying to keep to vaping, some of my dogs enjoy a buddy breath of second hand vape. They all seem to like the scent of Hawk Sauce, dad is around when we smell that. A couple like the Whiskey Bent scent but the cats like Strawberry Shine. Darn nutty cats.
I've written a novel, and the lit. agent I submitted it to said it was great on characters and the actual writing, but much too light on story/conflict. So, I can write... but I'm not a storyteller at all.
What I need is a collaborator who has a great story to tell, but just needs some help on the writing and technical aspects of organization.

Wow! 300k in words. Now, I feel fully under dressed. I only managed a 90k word horror novel. Got the first draft finished. Wife started to read, critique it. She shot it full of holes.
I had put a copy of it on one of those Zip disk things. During our moving here, there, here that disk got kludged up and could not be used unless I could afford expensive data recovery. She tells me to try rewriting it.
Have sat and tried to no avail. I keep getting lost in editing details. Ugh.
Maybe I ought to holler at Mr. Koontz again and rent another van up in the New England area, go for a little Stephen, erm ride. ooops. * snickering *
"Is he getting up?"
"Um, yeah."
"Backup! Backup!"
"Oh no, blue lights! We're gone!"
LOL
It was more difficult than I thought, trying to control an excited rat on my own with the camera in my other hand but you get the idea lol. Usually he is well behaved, pets and camera's just don't go together.
Here in WV, most vendors barring holidays send stuff out and I can expect it in about 3/4 days. DV over this past Christmas shocked me. The tracking said it would be here Jan 2nd. It was here Dec 31.
Figure the post is like everything else, good and bad either way.

Cute.
My middle brother kept a rat as a pet for a while. They are surprisingly more clean than most realize. Guess that whole Black Death thing kind of left a stigma.
Yes they are and very clever too, the word "Rat" has a bad name but the wild rat vs the domestic rat is like calling a dog a wolf. They make lovely pets and have never bitten me or any of my children and are super tame.Cute.
Errr, Sambuca, I woke up on the beach once after drinking that, to this day I have no idea what happened and have no wish to find out lolActual pic of my kitchen showing at least two food groups
Anyway, back on some sort of topic ha, Come on Mr Postman, where's my vapemail.
