Oooohhh! Squee! Looks like some chokecherries in the background. Now, of course, my mouth wants some chokecherry jelly...

Or even some Pottawatomie jelly.

The kitteh lives in Ontario, Canada.

Good morning!

[Monkey Face]

Good morning to you. Its 57° out with winds from the SE @ 7 mph. Partly cloudy.

[Tax-chick]

We are supposed to have temps in the 50s later. I’m going to take Frank and Kathleen to the gym after breakfast.

[Monkey Face]

I opened my door a little when I got back from Walmart.

When I took the trash out earlier, I came back in to smell cigarette smoke. The neighbor guy is on oxygen 24/7 and he’s smoking. I can’t get out of here soon enough!

I’m going to fix something to put in my stomach (probably rice pudding, because it’s almost pill time) and then I will try to start my day.

[Tax-chick]

Back from the gym. I’m reading Stephens and Catherwood’s “Incidents of Travel in Central America.” It’s full of scenery and ruins.

[Monkey Face]

I love books with eye candy like scenery and ruins. Or classic art, or flowers up close... Travel. Lots of travel, but I’m not rich enough to go where I want...like Russia...

[Tax-chick]

I never go anywhere, either, but that’s okay, because one always has to worry about where the bathroom is.

[Monkey Face]

I try not to drink anything after I’ve had my diuretic unless I’m close to home.

Life sometimes doesn’t like me!

[Monkey Face]

And now, I’m off to bed. A couple of people who don’t contact me often enough have kept me texting since late this morning, so nothing is “on schedule.”

I don’t like this! I’m missing out on the hour I normally relax before I sleep. So I’ll see you in the morning!

What is this thread about that it has over 4000 posts?

[Tax-chick]

It’s about hanging out, being friendly, talking about the weather and cats and books and music and supernatural phenomena and whatever crosses our minds.

If you’d like to hang around, I can put you on the list for the Good Morning Kitten.

[Bodleian_Girl]

Ok, but how did it get to 4000 posts in one day?

[Bodleian_Girl]

Ok, wait, ignore that. I see now it’s from 2017!

[NoCmpromiz]

how did it get to 4000 posts in one day?

Easy.

The undead can do anything. Even go to the end of the internet.. ;-)

[Bodleian_Girl]

That was funny.

[NoCmpromiz]

For you dieters..

[Monkey Face]

That was funny.

Yes, but it was also very true! Welcome, Bodleian_Girl, to the Undead Thread! We reached the end of the Internet of some 65,000+ posts back in December of 2004. We began by taking over a thread from jj_fate, and went on from there.

We are Undead because we move from "body to body" when we reach upwards of 6,000 posts because its only polite to not slow FR down too much.

We started out using troll threads, but those are few and far between these days, so we "borrow" them from other FReepers.

Welcome and we hope you enjoy your stay! Visits! Time with us. Whatever.
