[HiJinx]

Ouch. Shame you can’t claim the kittehs as dependents and collect child tax credit, right?

[radu]

Oooooh, wouldn’t we love to be able to do THAT! LOL! We’d rake it in!
But the meanies won’t let us do it.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I’ve rappelled before. LOL!! Good evening, HJ.

Walk in the mall at ground level, then up to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors. Can’t recall if it goes higher. From ground level, down one level to skating rink and food court.

I never go there. It’s way south of my house, traffic is horrendous thru the intersections coming off our one “freeway”, and there are lots of people, and some very unsavory.

[Kathy in Alaska]

w h !!

Thanks, unique!!

HJ.....#100!!

[HiJinx]

Sounds like it’s not going to be much of a place to work. Sorry to hear it.

Okay, I’m going to call it a night, now.

See y’all tomorrow.

[radu]

Good night and sleep well.
Nice to see you tonight! Been a while since we’ve been here at the same time.

[radu]

Mom all settled in or is she keeping you hopping tonight?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and rest well, HJ. Thank you for your service to our country and for helping honor our troops.

[Kathy in Alaska]

She’s trying to get some sleep, so I’m just checking on her if I hear movement.

I’m almost asleep at my desk and it’s only 10p. I am a bit short on sleep, tho. May just pack it in shortly.

Just heard stirring....said she’s feeling better and going to watch some tv.

[radu]

Glad to hear she seems to feel better, even if just a little bit. We don’t want her feeling worse. Maybe the stone(s) will pass on their own if that’s what’s going on.

You haven’t gotten your stuffing back from your ordeal with The Crud. Wouldn’t hurt you a bit to get to bed earlier than you’re used to. :-)

Sweet dreams when you get there.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers for Arrowhead's recovery, and in his absence....

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night Troops, wherever you are.

Thank you for doing your part to help keep all of us free and safe.

Thanks, unique, for the pastries.

Coffee is always on........

How about a donut?

Cookies?

Veggies?

Soup & Sandwich?

[Kathy in Alaska]

God bless and keep safe our troops worldwide.

Good night.
