This was funny!! Who knew??
I had no idea that rude and crude act was called that.
Good morning fugees. I have a bunch of crap to do today before I go to work but yet, here I sit. Even my morning meditation didn't help me to focus on what needs to get done. Oh well...guess I'll just have to suck it up and dive in. Have a great Tuesday all!
Really hope Andria checks in soon! I'm starting to worry about her and the hubby.
@The Cromwell Has all the kitties been accounted for yet?

Me either. Sure is funny
Woman abuser
It was funny as hell. Many years ago before we even had a place of our own we was laying in bed one day in her mom and dads place and she was giving me this long ass lecture on the proper place to "pooh" as she called it. As she was finishing she asked me if I understood and thats when I cuddled up to her then pushed her under the covers and let a loud one rip. Damn she come up sputtering and cussing and as hard as I was laughing she started laughing too. It was hilarious.
Good morning fugees and dont forget to GFY

Only 4 of the 7 positively accounted for so far.
I suspect that another one is around as she would dissappear to the neighbors buildings for a week or so sometimes.
One I know would have showed up if she could.
She slept in the workshop attic....
I'm happy that 4 have shown up. Still hoping the other 3 do too.
Same here.
YAAY
Pookie cat showed up.
Was out with insurance guy and she came out of one of the SIL's buildings.

I stand by my original assessment
But I did GFY - Go Fart Yourself
Nope Pookie was the one that generally stayed in a different building anyway.
Was this the one that slept in the attic of the workshop?
She keeps to herself and avoids all the other cats and hisses at them and such.
All cats now accounted for except for BJ who slept in the attic of the building that burned down...
both glad and sad.

I doubt it she was the only one who hung around wanting in the house and always showed at mealtimes.I'm still convinced said kitty has a very good chance of coming back around
I would like to be proven wrong though.
I am too. It could be that’s she hurt and is somewhere by itself healing.I'm still convinced said kitty has a very good chance of coming back around

IME - the more tame a cat is and the more regimented their routine - the more likely they are to totally freak out when something happens
This little two-faced temptress disappeared outside in late September in Alaska ten years ago when I was moving the cats out of our old house so we could tear it down to build the new one - gone for over three weeks. She had never been outside in her life, except the day we brought her home and once to the vet for shots.
I ran an ad in the newspaper with a photo, made flyers. Finally trapped her behind the house across the street with a have-a-heart
Laura's first yellow tabby was a totally outdoor kitty but was always in the yard. He never strayed out of it. Then he got missing...for a week and a half. First thing I noticed when I saw him walk up was that something was wrong with one of his front legs. I went and got him, toted him back to the house to inspect the front leg. It was swollen double of the other one. Made him a bed in a big clothes basket and that was where he laid for 4 days. We force fed him food and water. Finally on day 5 I noticed that most of the swelling had gone down and he was licking the leg. I looked at it and could see no fur around a spot about as big as a dollar bill plus he had distinct fang marks. He'd been bitten by a snake. That happened twice. The kitty is still around.
That's a beautiful kitty Lucy!!

Yeah - they are tougher than hell.
A few years back, some folks brought a young female cat down from Chitina - about 120 miles north - to get her spayed. On the way home - the cat wakes up in their car from the anesthetic, freaks out and jumps out the window of the moving car in Keystone Canyon - a treacherous little bit of roadway through steep canyons with tons of waterfalls along the Lowe River. After hours of searching, calling, freaking out, they made the difficult decision to to go home. They ran ads on the radio, newspaper, flyers tacked up all over town for about a month. Nothing. Anyways, months later, a friend of ours who knows we are freaky cat people calls me on the phone and says he is positive he saw that cat from months back out in the canyon. I was dubious, but did dig out the old flyer we had put up for the animal shelter's website - its now October and the cat disappeared in May, post surgical after jumping out of a moving vehicle. Even longer story short, Mr Juicy can't stand it, spends three days out in the area where our friend says he saw the cat, finally lures it into a trap. Indeed it was the lost kitty. The folks come down from Chitina, me and Mr J go with them to the vet, the kitty acts like a loving house cat. Meow, meow, rub rub, pur pur. Vet said she was a little skinny, but no worse for the wear. The kitty's name was Cinderella and yes, I am married to a real life hero
The end
Good morning 
Major 
is needed along with some patience. When I first get up in the morning don't speak to me until I've had at least 2 cups of coffee. My son has been in here 4 times this morning talking. 
If he don't shut up soon I'm going to be tempted to do this 
! Someone please come and save me!!!

Not in my world. Cats were the topic of conversation before work yesterday. The consensus was that most of the participants are cat haters and generally shoot them on sight. My contribution to the convo was you come to my house and even look like you're going to shoot at a cat plan your funeral before you get here to save the burden on your family.
And he's taking his life into his own hands this morning by continuing to speak to me. Plus, he's brought 2 tanks to me this morning that are broken and he wants me to fix them. Right now he's using a frankentank that I put together using various parts of STM's that I had. I told him from this point on, any gear he uses, he buys. Stick a fork in me....I'm DONE!!Mornin fugee's and GFY

Are we sure there isn't a full moon tonight?
Oh and @chopdoc, we're forecasted with rain for the next 5 days.
Anyone have an ark for sale?

Well, they're both fine; spawn got a flu shot, mate got tamiflu. He's still coughing a little but generally on the mend. Me, I finally went to the doc, because my breathlessness got so bad, I thought I might have pneumonia. Doc said chest xray didn't show that, but shows somethig that might be either asthma exacerbated by a LOT of phlegm, or possibly COPD, he's not sure. He thinks it might be just a case of bronchitis,causing the continued congestion, breathlessness, and low-grade fever. He took blood too, should have results back tomorrow. Meantime I'm taking zithromax, and currently parked on the sofa with laptop on... lap! Because my phone doesnt deal well at all with VU. So I'm still just taking it easy, but trying to get up and walk around a bit here and there ti get my wind back, trying to stretch my stomach again after a few days of hardly eating. It's been a rough week that's for damn sure, but at least I don't seem to have pneumonia. And I'll be getting a flu shot come fall, betcherass on that.
Andria
I hope you continue to get better!! I've missed you!
Welcome back Andria.
Good to see ya.
And glad your family disease situation is better.
From what I have read the flu shots this year may not help much as this seems to be a different viral strain than they made the vaccine for.

Good morning
My son knows this about me too, not to try and talk to me when I first get up. But when he first came back home last summer, I had to remind him of it quite loudly on a couple of occasions.

Well, they may not entirely prevent it, but they do seem to help quite a bit; my son says that my husban and I got hit by the eye of the hurricane, while he got some outlying rains -- enormous diff!!! I really should have had tamiflu too, with my asthma, but never expected it to be this bad.
The really good news s that I've survived without vaping just fine for a week now, and the sky hasn't fallen. I did take a few tiny mouth-only hits earlier, and that was nice, and as long as I don't try to inhale AT ALL, I can handle it... but it' not like an huge necessity or anything.

I got into this conversation a couple times when I worked offshore on the platforms. Both times it was known at the end of the conversation I would kill a mother fucker if I found them harming a cat. They thought I was kinda insane anyways so they thought it best not to broach that subject again
The CDC says an estimated %20 of the kids that died this year from the flu had the flu shot.

Some men just don't grasp the notion of lengths other men will go for a little pussy.
Apologies to the ladies for a bit of crassness, crudeness, lewdness. That was far too obvious though.
Glad to read that a good few who have suffered are getting better. Nice seeing Bob having most of his kitties return. I agree with Juicy, figure the one what slept in the attic likely got out and out fast. Sometimes a pecking order of cats is established and the one most keen to the people will stay back until sure the others return safe. Cats to me have always seemed a bit odd in general, but odd in the hmm that's interesting way.
Today I'm feeling like has been brought to us by the tune below.
Y'all run 'er slow and 'member to gfy!

So he was just a horndog - not. a hero
Careful, don't spoil him for it by suggesting he was anything but a hero. *chuckles* On the flip side to extremes to get a little pussy, many guys are big boys, boys in that thinking they're not heroes can make them rough to be around.
Then you got those of us which remain aloof to the opinions of others. You can take them as they are or not, don't try changing them, too much. They might give you a few window dressing compromises but through and through you'll see to themselves they remain true.
For example, my wife knows to not ask me to offer a promise. To me a promise is something sacred and if I make one then barring unfortunate things like death, I'll hold fast to it. She also knows this is why I'll always love her & try my best to never harm her, I promised her grandfather as much, not her mind you, her grandfather.
I promised her father to watch out for her grandfather, to not let him get himself in trouble as to be injured. One year he was out on one of the hills going with a Gravely. I saw he stepped real close to the edge, I stepped in real close behind him and became a shadow. Sure enough the Gravely did as I suspected it was wont to do, tried carrying him down over the side of the hill. I grabbed hold of him and spun lifting him up and around, planting his face into the side of the hill behind us, my toes chunking off the edge of ground beneath us. I yelled, "let go you damn old goat!"
He was laughing "Barn,"
"Yeah Sarge?"
"I think you done better let go o' me, don't want to get you covered in my poop."
Then both of us were laughing. I helped him get back to at least half level ground. Went down in the bottom and fetched up the Gravely, still running. Damn machine would have eaten him alive as it drug him under itself.
That's also why I followed the old protocols, ate what little sin that friend had and made sure he got on his way Home. Her dad knew that's what I'd do too. He met me coming in, told me to go on in the bedroom with his dad. I lay my hand on his, leaned down and give his forehead a gentle kiss. Stood in there a little until he bid me on. Covered all reflective surfaces in his house before the squad collected him for the coroner. I made them hold just a half a minute before they put him into the back, the one fellow understood, let him her grandfather make peace with nature as well.
Damn, I miss that old fool. Quite a few of them I miss. I'll be done for now, need to be really drunk to tell you about my meeting with Mr. Rogers. That way I can blame the Scotch for the tears.
Morning fugee's,
What a wet miserable day it looks like. The rains are gone for today but damn its soaking wet out there and a bitch to take Rascal out to do his thing. And of course next 3 or 4 days we have more rain coming The bright side is it is suppose to be in the upper 70's next week

Cool and sunny here today, a little warmer tomorrow. Rain shows up here on Saturday and sticks around until Thursday of next week. The local weather folks are saying 3 inches plus before all is said and done. I guess I need to get an umbrella and a boat.
Yeah I thought we were done with this cold. 28 this morning. And rainy yesterday and the day before.Morning fugee's,
