Elevator vibes for Larry. I can't believe that the management company gets away with this.

I stopped at Trader Joe's today. I didn't see any apple pie and asked about it. I was told that they've lost one of their bakers. They managed to obtain lots of pumpkin pie. They did have an apple tart and I'll be giving that a try this year.

Monday morning greetings! The birthday boy (Richard) and I are going to see Murder on the Orient Express this afternoon and then to one of his burger joints for an early dinner. We had a nice birthday breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, and pineapple/cherry cobbler.

Happy birthday wishes to the birthday boy!

Thank you, DR ChasSmith! Remember our celebration 4 years ago at Artie's?

YES!, I remember it very well. It was my first time in Artie's, my first time to meet DR & DH Ginny and Richard, and my first time to meet DR vixmom. DRs Ben and FJL were there, and I think Jose showed up at some point, as is his wont. It was quite cold and windy that night. I'd brought down some Stew Leonard's pumpkin raisin cookies which I believe DRs Elmore and Ben shared. The pastrami and the company were wonderful. I walked with DR Elmore back to his front door, my first time to see which building was his. Good lord, now that seems like a century ago!

Oh my. I wonder if that was a local situation, or national.

I'll be checking in on Trader Joe's at least twice in the coming week. We buy our Thanksgiving turkeys there now, and quite a few of the accoutrements. That big shopping trip will be over the weekend. I also want to stock up on several bottles of their Triple Ginger Brew and a few other seasonal things.

The movers in our first Michigan stay did not show on delivery day. Thanks goodness they arrived the next day. They said their truck broke down but someone let it slip they were just out drinking and couldn't drive the next day.

Well, it's a good thing that they at least didn't try to drive while drinking. $:-\$

Or hungover.

I think Jane wins the prize for Worst Move and also for Worst Move in a Series.

And I thought some of mine were bad.

Not a series. The move following the worst move was probably the best. Next one ok, one after that with the drunks and there was a bit of damage. There was damage on this move to.

Jane · « **Reply #98 on:** November 13, 2017, 04:18:23 PM »

The best move was done by a family crew. It was only from Oakland, NJ to Acton, MA under 4 hours. This nice family of men took the truck and stopped part way to sleep at the family home until it was time to deliver our truck. Yes, they were on time and I believe everything arrived in good condition and nothing was missing.

DR Jane-- what a horrible story!

KevinH · « **Reply #101 on:** November 13, 2017, 05:07:38 PM »

TOD: when I moved from Buffalo to Arlington, VA (temporarily) I had all my needed belongings in my 1971 Impala. Moving from my apartment to my condo was relatively easy too. Friends helped me. I didn't have much furniture at the time, so that helped.

Well, I must now be off. I have to run some errands out in the cold, rainy, windy weather.

Be back later.

And here's tonight's drama. Around 8:00 I noticed that Thatch's dinner which I'd left at the bookshelf entry was untouched. Since he gobbles food, this concerned me, so I spent some time trying to find him under the shelves. What I did find horrified me: a lot of boric acid and roach and bedbug poison that had been sitting under those shelves since the bedbug infestation of 2008. All I could think is, if this hasn't already killed him, it will soon. So, Annabelle and I had our ice cream ad I decided I'd better find him.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #108 on:** November 13, 2017, 07:04:40 PM »

And I did. He had moved down to another bookshelf after his afternoon hissing and spitting with Annabelle. But . . . I knew the magic power of the Purina Kitty Party Mix, and I lured him out with a handful. When I tried to grab him before he could escape back under the shelf, he clawed the shit out of my hand, drawing a lot of blood in three wounds and he escaped my clutches. But he ran into the room and not back under the shel, so as soon as I took care of my hand, Annabelle ad I went kitty hunting.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #109 on:** November 13, 2017, 07:09:29 PM »

She found him trying to get back under the shelf where he had been in last weekend, but I had blocked the entry. Annabelle jumped him and they actually fought. Claws were bared, they rolled around, they screamed at each other, fur flew, and I thought, this has been coming so maybe this will break the ice. When they separated after the third round I carried Annabelle off, and approached Thatch, speaking very softly and offering him more party mix. When I got my hands on him, I carried him to the carrier, set him inside, and took the carrier back to the bathroom. He was covered in the poison and little clouds of dust were flying from him.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #110 on:** November 13, 2017, 07:14:40 PM »

In the bathroom, I fed him as I filled the bathtub with warm water and pulled a big fuzzy towel from the rack. He's going to start avoiding my touch because when I picked him up this time, I tossed him into the bathtub and sloshed him around in the water to get the poison off his fur. Then I wrapped him in the towel and held him while I rubbed him down. I'm hoping the shit under the shelf hasn't dome any damage, so I'll keep an eye on him tonight. Tomorrow I will seriously vacuum under those shelves, just in case.

Scary cat tales, Elmore.

Annabelle has found the large paper bag from the Friday Chinese food delivery. She's having fun. Thatch is still damp but he's lying on a little rug of heavy knitted yarn in his carrier in a very warm bathroom. He was purring while I petted him, so I guess he's forgiven me. I cannot wait for official cat photographer ChasSmith to take some photos.

Watching the latest Poldark. As we get near the end of the season, the ugliness is ratcheting up.

I didn't do a single thing today. It was great.
