Happy New Year to you too, Allegra. Did you visit your fur babies? Did they remember Mama?

[tongue-tied]

We were like a week behind you this year I think. They base it on lunar calendar and when decreed by Saudi Arabia (Islamic law). Again, I think.

As long as I get the spreadsheet correct, I probably make it worse on myself as far as remembering the time diffs, because I lean on that crutch. Eleventy something-something hours I think....central time.

[tongue-tied]

LOL...no, Ma, I was replying to all three of you, and Ms. B's part of that was to her beautiful snow picture.

But when I DO get snow, here or Ukraine or wherever...I will snap some photos.

[tongue-tied]

LMAO...drinkin’ beer and rolling in during the wee hours. Ahhh...now that’s home!

[Allegra]

Happy New Year to you too, Allegra. Did you visit your fur babies? Did they remember Mama?

I'm down to one fur-baby who knows me well. My darling Finbar.

My sweet Dulcie went to Kitty Heaven last month. :(

[Kathy in Alaska]

You served....you deserve credit too. You were there if needed.

[Allegra]

LMAO...drinkin’ beer and rolling in during the wee hours. Ahhh...now that’s home!

Dang right....I'm soaking up every minute of it. LOL

I'll drink one to you and the good guys in Afghanistan.

I'll be back over on that side of the world very soon. (Sigh...)

[Kathy in Alaska]

I understand....this past year both my 18 year olds went to Kitty Heaven. Go Finbar....

Last I saw Allegra she, TheMom and Pax were on their “last” beer.

Eaker, after you left, TheMom, Allegra and I became sock sisters.

[tongue-tied]

Oh wow. Sorry to hear you’ve both lost feline friends.

[pax_et_bonum]

Remember the tagline which rivals “This dog bite me.”

[Allegra]

Thanks for the reminder!

[Allegra]

Thanks. :)

I want to see SNOW PICS!

[Allegra]

I’m so sorry to hear about your two.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks....old age set in and a thyroid issue caused wasting away despite lots of eating. Vet said their age precluded daily treatment. One went in May and I knew the second was going, but also turned out to have a huge tumor. I thought I was ready, but two months later, I wasn’t....altho I did the right thing. 18 years is a long time.

[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.

How about a donut?

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

Or a sandwich?

[tongue-tied]

18 years is a long time.

I didn't even know cats could hang around that long. That has to be hard, after all of that time.

[pax_et_bonum]

You’re welcome!

Now I’ve gotta go and manage to get upstairs with my walker to soak my teeth while I look for my mink handcuffs.

They’re my favorites.

[pax_et_bonum]

I’m sorry for your losses.

Losing a pet is so sad.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thank you.
