Well, you've read the notes, the notes felt like a holiday, and now it is time for you to post until the holiday cows come home.

T.O.D.

When I first heard an saw Lady Gaga, I just thought she was weird.  Then I saw her interviewed on ELLEN, or one of those shows; and I was surprised how sweet and genuine she seemed.  I still am not a fan of her music, but I don't dislike her.

Topic of the Day:

I had heard of Lady Gaga, but didn't pay attention.  Then Amazon gave away or significantly reduced the price of one of her albums and I decided to get it.  I took the opportunity to actually hear her voice and enjoyed it and her songs.  I'm certainly not one of her "Little Monsters" (her diehard fans), but whenever I've heard one of her songs, I've found that more often than not, I like it.

When the phenomenon that is Lady Gaga began I had a discussion with Craig about her.  He had nice things to say about her and was impressed with how well she had marketed herself.

Been catching up a bit on the California fires, which are just hideous. 

I could hardly believe the Santa Rosa fires.  One of my best friends lives there, and I'd been thinking that they're out in a regular flat neighborhood in the middle of town, away from hills and trees, they're safe.  Nope.  They're just blocks from the whole Coffey Park neighborhood that got destroyed.  Their house was spared, but some around them burned.  Horrible.

I've heard the name Lady Gaga, and I've gathered that she's a sensation of some sort, and controversial.  That's the extent of my knowledge.  Actually, that's the extent of my knowledge of most pop artists these days.

I was relieved a friend in Santa Rosa was able to return home last night.  She is not complaining that she doesn't have power.

I am watching for news from people I know in So. California who also had to evacuate.

Good suggestions.  People don't realize a fall from a counter, or anything low, is dangerous.  It is not true cats always land on their feet, especially from a lower drop.  They need time to right their bodies before landing.  We once had a kitten with a broken leg when it fell.

My decision to use flea products on my indoor cats depended where I lived.  Never ever use Hartz or Sergeants products, they kill cats.  I can't believe the products are still around, and still causing harm.  We almost lost a cat 47 years ago to a flea collar and the vet then informed us to not use either brand.

I think it's a good idea to give ANY treats sparingly.  Most of them are, after all, candy/junk food for cats and dogs.  I should do my own research, as well, but I've pretty well convinced everyone here to at least make them an occasional thing, and to hand them out in moderation even at those times.

There are also decent dry foods aimed at dental care.  Depends on the animal, of course, but for cats like ours whose primary diet is canned food but they really like dry food as well, that dry food works beautifully as treats.

This morning, Annabelle discovered there's a world outside my apartment. She made it past me into the hallway, but  I was able to grab her before she took off on an expedition.

I'm planning on eventually letting her out into my very little back yard.  It's totally enclosed, she can't get under the bottom of the fence, and she's too old and the fence is too high for her to climb up and over.  I figure as long as I let her out when I'm home, she'll be fine out there. :)

Will you be taking her to her regular vet or transferring to one closer to you?  There might be something in her records to help you decide which dry food treats are best for her.

My niece said that Larry never took her to a vet.  He'd only had her for less than a year, but my niece doesn't know if the previous owner even took Neve to a vet. :-\

Oh my.  If by some miracle she has a microchip you might be able to get some medical records.  She seems to be doing well without medical care.  How do her teeth look?

I haven't actually looked.  My niece said that Larry only fed her canned food, which she loves, but her previous owner only fed her dry.  I have both out for her and she's eaten both, so that's good.  But yes, when she's settled in more, I'll take her to the vet and let them look her all over.

Yesterday was practically a non-stop day, and today I've been trying to take care of what I didn't get to yesterday. I'm pooped.

Discomforting story, TCB, about your scooter key. I'm very glad someone was able to get it out for you.

I didn't realize people had to be tested for opiates, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I didn't realize Lady Gaga had many fans. I was surprised to learn that she's able to sing. IMHO, when you market yourself that way many people won't take you seriously.

Just had a fun meeting about this mostly irreverent holiday revue I'll be playing the month of December.

New or old songs in the revue, ChasSmith?

Post by: ChasSmith on October 10, 2017, 06:21:26 PM
All original material.  My friend wrote it and it was first performed it in 2015.  (I wasn't involved in that one.)  This is its first revision and revival.

I hear that.  I brought Neve up into my bedroom and showed her the pet stairs that my niece gave me.  We'll see if she uses them on her own.
