I just thought Furball was a very cute name for Adriana's cat.

It is if you have never experienced real furballs When I read the books I work at picturing the cat curled up into a ball of fur

I was extremely good at brushing all the cats every day, or every other day, and giving them furball treatments to reduce the problem.

Just wait until your kittens are cats DR elmore

I think Annabelle's been hawking them up in the bathtub.

I believe this is Annabelle's health problem:

Vibes for ANNABELLE and DR ELMORE.

I'm late today....yes I am late. Why am I late, you ask? Who am I to withhold such information.

Like DR GEORGE last week - my credit card was hacked stolen and used.......My last charge was on February 2. I went on a couple of days ago to renew my license plates and the website said it was unable to process the transaction....I tried it once more.

Today I went to spend $10 on EBAY and once again the transaction was not completed. Then I noticed my card was restricted.

I went on the website and there were six charges beginning February 13.....to something called Wengo and something called Accion and something called Pharmicia.....

I called. The card was cancelled and a new one will be sent....so I am cardless for a few days.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.......

Four people, including a 6-year-old boy, were shot outside a San Antonio version of Vixmom’s favorite, Texas Roadhouse. Scary.

We're living in the old west...

They’ve upped the number of victims. Apparently one got in his car and drove himself to the hospital.

So sorry, JRAND. That sucks.

I took Annabelle's Amazon carton, turned it over, cut a door and made a little house for her and Thatch. He seems intrigued by it.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #129 on:** February 19, 2018, 03:49:03 PM »

He's now lounging in it. When I saw him, I thought he looked like Walter Brennan in "The Real McCoys"!

Here's tonight's tribute to no taste and intelligence, Fergie's pitchless version of the National Anthem.

That's pretty funny DR ELMORE..... Cats like cardboard houses.

Thanks I had forgotten you also suffered a similar breech.

DR elmore I am very sorry the ceilings have collapsed.

My neighbor in 2C posted three photos on Facebook. Looks just like my bathroom when the ceiling fell in on March 14, 2014. I remember the date because I was in such terrible physical shape at the time and I could not believe the added misery.

All the more reason you feel terrible about this.

If you responded, I missed your post. Does your cell phone have an alarm? Before I had a smart phone I had a clip on alarm I used. It is just too easy to get distracted and forget to check on important things.

Yes, my cell phone has an alarm. No, I didn't use it because i had never forgotten about the tub before. This wasn't my first time at the rodeo. It's good advice and i will use it in the future.

I also find I can't think, or I will go in a minute. It is best to reset the alarm if I don't go right away

That is a good place for them. Even with brushing the cats almost daily I had to give them hair ball. We should have purchased stock in Petromalt.

Fortunately I have never dealt with this issue though I would exchange for a few other issues we dealt with.

Yes it does. Curious who hasn't been in this situation. Sadly it happens way too often.

Tonight's episode of Victoria was quite sad: Drummond died in a assassination attempt on Sir Robert Peel, the Baroness who raised Victoria was sent back to Germany, Sir Robert resigned as prime minister, Prince Albert's brother's syphilis broke up his engagement plans, and Diana Rigg had a wonderful scene with Lord Alfred Paget to inform him of Drummond's death and to tell him to remember his place in the mourners, somewhere after his parents and fiancée.

I have no idea if Drummond and Lord Alfred were in reality a gay couple or if its the screenwriter's conjecture, but it was nicely handled in the past episodes.

Next week is the season closer, England adopts the German Christmas tree, 1846.

What season are you watching? I skipped your post to be on the safe side of a "spoiler".

Season 2. I had the impression no one was watching this but myself.

Bruce this is sad if you mostly had chocolate pudding & Jell-O in your house. Yes we had those and they were good, jello if it was blackcherry.

We had so many favorites. Baskin Robbins ice cream we had to hide from my sister or she would eat it all. Store bought cookie favorites were Mallomars & Ginger Snaps.

My mother was a wonderful baker. My favorite cookies were her butter cookies. I have never had a better cheesecake or apple pie, as in Danish apple, than hers. She often made a delicious chocolate cake.

Then there were the treats from Robertson Bakery, the best chocolate chip cookies, fruit bars, and almost pastry crust cups filled with almond paste-heavenly.

My father always kept a tin of good chocolate and my mother had a tin of English toffees.

Of course there was usually See's Candy.

Sunday brunch at home included halavah.

It was a very good thing we were all physically active. Bruce might recall I was the chubby one in the family and you know how fat I was.

We watched season 1 but haven't gotten to season 2 yet. Is it good?

Better than Season 1, I think.

Been sitting around watching a little of this, a little of that. Took a brief tour of the Criterion Silence of the Lambs which is incredible.

Last night I suggested to Keith he call the doctor's office and see if someone could check his cough at the same time I would be there.

He insisted he didn't need to go. This morning insisted it was ok to go to the gym though he promised me to do a lighter work out.

Guess where we went this afternoon

He has viral bronchitis which is what I had in Dec 2016. I did not have a fever though which he has so hopefully his diagnosis is correct.
