I've been to Amazon, Chewy, Petco, Petsmart, Walmart, and Target. It's one of the few cat foods all three cats will eat. Damn it all to hell.

Title: Re: THE MOTHER OF ALL RABBIT HOLES
Post by: ChasSmith on August 08, 2021, 09:21:15 AM: I'd been craving lox and bagels lately, so I picked up supplies yesterday and just royally stuffed myself. Ate the whole 4 oz. package of smoked salmon divided over two open-faced bagels with (of course) cream cheese, capers, thin slice of tomato, thin shavings of red onion, and "everything bagel" seasoning liberally applied since I only had plain bagels. Very delicious, and a little more than I needed, but it had been so long since I'd had this that I needed to find out what the quantities need to be. A worthy experiment, and now I shan't need to eat anything at all till this evening.

Post by: ChasSmith on August 08, 2021, 09:28:06 AM: I share BK's shock at how few people I know have retained ANY kind of physical media playing capability.

I can understand, or at least I'm accustomed to, the fact that today's kids have nothing to do with owning discs and whatnot. But I have to shake my head at the number of adult humans I know who quite literally threw it all away in favor of streaming. Yes, some people have had good reasons for doing that, but they aren't the majority of those that I simply see as lemmings.

I am so relieved Freyja did not catch it from Bryan.

Post by: John G. on August 08, 2021, 11:36:30 AM: Got The Cutting Edge, a cheesy ice skating flick from the early 1990s, on. I always enjoyed this. But it's so dated. It wanted to be Top Gun on ice, so there are sappy rock ballads all over the place. Formula. Tired formula.

DR George....

New data suggest J. & J. vaccine works against Delta and recipients don’t need a booster shot. (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/06/science/johnson-delta-vaccine-booster.html)

Whew!! Thanks for the article, Jane!

That's too bad, Jrand, but it's definitely better to be safe than sorry. :-\

I too am appalled that folks no longer have CD players or BluRay/DVD players. I KNOW it's a hassle to have the physical disks.....but you can lose everything online in a moment.....it's gone..... Then what do you do?

I will NEVER get rid of my discs and players! I still have a record player, an audio cassette player, a laserdisc player, AND a VCR! AND they're all in working condition...not all are hooked up and being used, but they do work!

The vast majority of movies I want to watch are not on Netflix or Amazon Prime.

Exactly! That's the other issue with any streaming...not everything is available all the time, and some titles might never be made available again. You just never know.

DR George, I think this should be the design of your sister's next chicken coop:

I am seeing an ENT tomorrow morning about my craggy and hoarse voice as of late. I have two jobs: speaking and singing, and I'm not doing either one very well at the moment. So hopefully the doctor can diagnose what may be wrong.

Post by: George on August 08, 2021, 10:37:58 PM: Everyone was asked about their vaccination status, but I don't know if everyone was able to show proof of their vaccination status.
Title: Re: THE MOTHER OF ALL RABBIT HOLES
Post by: George on August 08, 2021, 10:38:57 PM: A former board member went around with a list of everyone who had RSVP'd and added names of anyone who wasn't on the list so that they could do contact tracing, if necessary.
Title: Re: THE MOTHER OF ALL RABBIT HOLES
Post by: George on August 08, 2021, 10:39:32 PM: The list included names, e-mail addresses (or phone number), and a checkbox if you were vaccinated or not.
Title: Re: THE MOTHER OF ALL RABBIT HOLES
Post by: George on August 08, 2021, 10:40:03 PM: By the time I signed it (my name had to be added), everyone who had been checked by then had indicated that they were vaccinated.

Title: Re: THE MOTHER OF ALL RABBIT HOLES
Post by: George on August 08, 2021, 11:07:07 PM: My sister brought a WHOLE bunch of disposable containers so that anyone who wanted leftovers could take them.

Title: Re: THE MOTHER OF ALL RABBIT HOLES
Post by: George on August 08, 2021, 11:08:13 PM: They had expected a few more people, and over estimated above that.
Title: Re: THE MOTHER OF ALL RABBIT HOLES
Post by: George on August 08, 2021, 11:08:31 PM: Fortunately, the PFLAG president called a local church that feeds homeless people and they said that they'd take any leftovers.
Title: Re: THE MOTHER OF ALL RABBIT HOLES
Post by: George on August 08, 2021, 11:09:17 PM: After everyone had helped take down tables and chairs and packed up everything, Larry, my sister's boyfriend, and I took all the leftover food to the church.
Title: Re: THE MOTHER OF ALL RABBIT HOLES
Post by: George on August 08, 2021, 11:10:09 PM: The woman at the church hadn't been told that we'd be coming, but she found some other people who did know, so they all came out and took the food for the people that they help.

Post by: George on August 08, 2021, 11:10:19 PM: They were all very grateful.

Post by: George on August 08, 2021, 11:12:05 PM: Yesterday, I had asked my friend Margo if she wanted to come to the picnic, but she wasn't feeling well (not Covid-related), so she didn't come.
Title: Re: THE MOTHER OF ALL RABBIT HOLES
Post by: George on August 08, 2021, 11:12:56 PM: She asked if there were any leftovers, could she have some...of course there were and she could!

Larry -- or Laura or Chas or anyone with a cat -- how would you feel if your cat came home one day wearing an ID badge, indicating that they were employed?? I'd be thinking, "WHAT?! You found a job and didn't tell me?!" I think I'd feel a bit miffed!

I am not sure where this question is coming from?

I cannot believe it. Every damned ome of my Fancy Feast sellers is out of the tuna and whitefish cat food which usually sells for around $15.00 for a case of 24 cans. I've been to Amazon, Chewy, Petco, Petsmart, Walmart, and Target. It's one of the few cat foods all three cats will eat. Damn it all to hell.

That's terrible! The Friskies Shreds that my mom gets her cat has also been difficult to find. WTF?? :o

I was told that a lot of these shortages are the result of the pandemic. Often times, the most popular flavors are the first ones to have shortages.
