Yam that was dark, but I hope so.
Oh it’s adorable! Now that’s the kind of thing I want to go traveling to see, all the quaint churches in the northeast. And the beautiful scenery around them of course.
“No, I’m here for the house plants. Again.”
Funny!!!
I’m trying to get my indoor basil to stay alive through the winter. The big plants died so I started some new ones while it was warm. I keep catching my 1-year-old cat playing with them though. She’s obsessed with gardening. She likes to bat the plants around, and especially when I water then she loves to play in the water. Two out of four are now dead. I don’t have a lot of hope.
Hey, did I see that you were having a birthday yourself?
I guess the diversity in Canadian airports is similar to that in ER rooms in Border states. Or maybe large cities. I ended up in the ER a couple weeks ago, it was annoying because they wouldn’t let me go home for 3 hours even after they figure it out that I didn’t really have a problem, they just wanted to keep doing testing. I complained about that and hubby reminded me that we didn’t hear Spanish spoken once and that we got in right away. Okay, no more complaining. Plus I couldn’t complain that they were not thorough!
An ER that takes you in right away, all English speaking and thorough? Unheard of up here.
Up here they keep you sitting in the crowded, noisy, scary waiting room for 3 hours, where you hear a cacophony of every language in the world, listen to people throw up, avoid the ones talking to themselves or screaming at invisible people, then you get 5 minutes with a foreign-born doctor and wish you’d never come in. I honestly think they keep everyone waiting so long in hopes that they’ll give up and go home.
The last time I went to ER in Simcoe (a small city, just larger than a town) I waited 9 hours.
9 hours! Even in a small town?!
Was that when Natalie made you go and antibiotics did the trick?
You know, I can’t even remember what she made me go into ER for, but it certainly wasn’t necessary. It was her over-reacting to a bit of chest discomfort. I was fine, although after 9 hours my blood pressure may have been a tad high lol.
The antibiotics were a doctor visit (which I seldom make) when I did the DIY teeth cleaning and got impetigo. Bad Judy. Never doing that again lol.
Lol funny.
Oh yes, I remember DIY teeth cleaning. You are So funny!

>>>>”Dolly! Did you set mouse traps? Or put down lots of poison? Those things will breed like crazy over the winter if you don’t get rid of them early. Take it from my horrible experience at the cottage. So gross.”
Nope! Holding out for cat. My friend Lori in Amish country Ohio…has cat. Moved in W/new boyfriend —NO CATS. Now living in her former tiny home that son now lives in- but he’s not a cat friendly guy. I want to help her…sure a bevy of cats here in NC but i know she loves this kitty n i do too. Mt last two days staying in her tiny home we bonded. I hope she and her squeeze are now hot to trot but my Gut feeling is it went too fast and i see red flags and so if it doesn’t work out for her, I’d like to make sure she can get her kitty back
Meanwhile my son with BB in tote has hand caught several. Released way back - 1000 feet of property. I have no doubt they’re now back in the mobile home. I have purposely left a couple areas which I feel are their nesting grounds so they can feel content there once a kitty comes that will change.
It’s pretty hilarious as at this age and stage of life where I envisioned a certain lifestyle I’m dealing with this kind of absolutely funny stuff. And I’m glad I’m able to look at it as funny stuff. But you know what in the bigger scheme of things this is really, really small stuff. I just know that I have to make every single thing that is mice accessible, totally inaccessible in plastic containers very easy.
MsB - Jeff told me he would really really like to have a Maine coon cat. Wow that’s really admirable but I’m not sure he understands how expensive these magnificent creatures are. I told him that’s a good goal. Let’s get a kitty for now and when the opportunity and funds are available, he can get his dream cat.

Yes
A dastardly decade turnover
Well another cat sounds purrrrrfect! I thought you had said the Jeff said no more cats, but nothing works on mice like a good mouser.....and a hungry one!
Actually mouse traps are much more humane. We have mice in the basement, Sable and Cadbury just about live down there and I’m sure they torture any they find, but they rarely make a kill. The traps do a better job with less suffering.
Now you have a point about the hungry ones. Ours just have to come upstairs to eat so they’re not motivated.
