Aww Ed, 'little miss no name' is adorable! She's going to be a sweet kitty! So glad everything is now working toward her having a home, and two 'parents' who will love her!

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 68 out there now with an expected high of 90 and 20% chance of rain. We actually had quite the downpour last night with all the lightning and thunder and special effects!

Maybe dishwasher and some laundry on the agenda today. And maybe some light housework.

These are all maybes...

Her beloved pet Rio, aged three, gave birth last week to nine puppies – but when one came out mint green Louise Sutherland was stunned.
The rare occurrence is only known to have happened only three times before in the world.

Good Morning...
In a bit of a hurry, need to hit the shower and get on the road to see about my foot!
Tried to carpet clean last night....something wrong with it...it was being really rascally and not steaming, and I knew that....but had a work around so that I really only needed the water/dirt extraction...well, it now won't do that either....so out to the curb it will go on Thursday, and the new one will arrive the day before..(Wednesday)...so all is well...or will be.
Glad J and Ed are home, sounds like they have a bit of food, but not so horribly much! Good Job. Also seems that Lilo was happy to have them back home.
Ed, finish filling out adoption papers...and bring home new kitty? or is that another trip to the shelter? I made the awful mistake of looking at the dogs needing homes.....oh boy, I really have to stop doing that. Fortunately there was only one that really caught my eye...a Westie/toy poodle mix. NO, I didn't go....or I'd have had a dog. Long as I have my senses, and Tom E. no new pets!

Hi Valerie
I hope the Foot gets better quickly.

Hmm... No New Pets

Roger, not sure about the down the road repairs to expect. I know there will be battery replacements some time in the future. And I don't think anybody can make any long range predictions, as these are really a very new line of cars. The one I rode in was 4 years old, so can't place much 'historical' predictions on that! But, we do have a dealer, with show space at Lenox Mall in ATL...very close to where I lived when I rented in ATL.... I don't think I really need worry about owning one, unless I might sell a grandchild???? No, better idea would be to win the lottery..:)
Ok, outta here..with plans to return and respond to some of the earlier posts...

Later...

As far as having dealers, So did the Yugo

Will these become the new Yugo down the road, only time will tell if they Join Studebaker, Rambler, Hudson and Kaiser to name a few on histories discard heap.

That's the Plan, Win the Lottery !

Good Luck with that one, when You do let me know so I can drive down for a share

Adoption papers finalized. I need to make an appointment for Wednesday afternoon at our vet for a full checkup. The shelter is having her spayed (or at least checking to see if she's already spayed) and chipped during this interval, and giving her a rabies vaccination.

Actually I paused and scheduled our vet appointment! We're scheduled to pick her up between 11:00 and 12:00 on Wednesday at the shelter and we have an appointment at 1:00 with our vet to have her checked out.

Hi Ed
It is probably the Camera angle that makes the head look large.

Good Luck with all that running around

Hi Again
There was rain in NJ yesterday, enough to cause some rush hour home traffic problems, Around here, Nada, Nothing, Zip, Zilch, Zero rain

Yesterday my Crazy Brother washed his Pickup Truck and my car. When He said they were both washed I asked why didn't you call me and his answer was I figured You would know when the water kept coming on and off and You did not see me, No it never occurred to me that he would do that ! Today he wants to Wax them

I have been getting some Raspberries, Probably where the critters can not reach them. I also had Blackberries Yesterday and This Morning, Same probability for their survival on the plant.

My Laundry was placed in the washer on the way out walking and currently is in the dryer

Have a Nice Day

GardenKatGardens · July 2017

So far its been 'read only' kinda morning. Fixed breakfast yesterday...and had preplanned leftovers, heated them in the Micro...Text messages, (lotsa s'es) from our former gym manager, meeting her Saturday morning to see the baby who at 4 months is adorable!!!! So we're attempting coffee.
I think I also heard rumbles yesterday...I should go look...a tad over 2.5 was there yesterday from Sunday nights storms....ok, so at my house yesterday evening was 'only' ¾ of an inch. But with the other rains, I have to empty the gauge today, as another inch, and it will spill over!

So, Ed when do you get to bring new baby home? I know you're anxious.......
Roger, is there any way that you can prop up those berry bushes? And check the internet, you can train the canes so they're not fruiting at ground level.

I just got the strangest phone call, and left a message....from some guy Stephen Barrett from Alabama, small wide spot in the road...a little larger than the cartoon...6 people and a cat!....there were not words...just loud racket...I finally got tired of listening and deleted...sounds like a kid prank, and isn't it about time for school to start again???
LOL I lived in Richmond VA for a year, and when school started, I began getting phone calls from some giggly kids who'd obviously just had their 1st. Spanish class and were trying it out! They called several times that fall...we had some interesting chats!!! Funny kids!

Ok, gotta go for now,

Well, J has let the cat out of the bag on FaceBook. We will be picking Kiara (key-ARE-uh) up Wednesday, July 19 between 11:00 and 12:00.

Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!

We're scheduled to pick Kiara up between 11:00 and 12:00 today. I hope she and Lilo like each other or at least tolerate each other.

Hi
I did some walking , The temperature this morning was 77 on the news channel and 75 degrees on the front porch. Warmer than yesterday

The humidity is up in what they are calling Tropical once again

Here is what I was watching Yesterday during Lunch and Dinner. One on YouTube and the other from Dailymotion. Both serve up videos and are IMO safe to use.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/'Allo_'Allo
'Allo 'Allo! is a BBC television British sitcom that was first broadcast on BBC One from 1982 to 1992, comprising 85 episodes. The story is set in a small-town café in German-occupied France during the Second World War. It is a parody of another BBC programme, the wartime drama Secret Army. 'Allo, 'Allo! was created by David Croft, who also wrote the theme music, and Jeremy Lloyd. Lloyd and Croft wrote the first six series. The remaining series were written by Lloyd and Paul Adam.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi-de-Hi!
Hi-de-Hi! was a BBC television sitcom shown on BBC1 from 1 January 1980 to 30 January 1988.
Set between 1959 and the early 1960s in Maplins, a fictional holiday camp, the show was written by Jimmy Perry and David Croft, who also wrote Dad's Army and It Ain't Half Hot Mum amongst other programmes. The title was the greeting the campers heard and in early episodes was written Hi de Hi. The series revolved around the lives of the camp's management and entertainers, most of them struggling actors or has-beens.
The inspiration was the experience of Jimmy Perry, one of the writers. After being demobilised from the Army, he was a Redcoat at Butlins, Pwllheli during the holiday season.
The series gained large audiences and won a BAFTA as Best Comedy Series in 1984. In a 2008 poll on Channel 4, Hi-de-Hi! was voted the 35th most popular comedy

Almost half of Americans have buyer's remorse about their house

44 percent of Americans have regrets about their current home or the process they went through when choosing it, a Trulia survey says.
Wishing they had bought a larger home was the top disappointment.

That is the plan, We do want to get them off of the Patio.

I wonder if that call was a call pocket dialed. It doesn't happen with flip phones, however it can happen with Smart Phones

Here is an example of that gone bad

Police: Woman 'butt dialed' 911, discussed 'illegal activities'
By Ben Hooper Contact the Author | Aug. 16, 2016 at 2:48 PM
BREMERTON, Wash., Aug. 16 (UPI) -- Police in Washington state said a woman "learned that butt dialing can be more than just embarrassing" when a 911 operator heard about her "illegal activities."

Bremerton Police Chief Steven Stachan said in his weekly newsletter that a woman apparently accidentally dialed 911 from her pocket and operators heard the "very angry sounding" suspect talking to a man believed to be her boyfriend.

The woman was heard discussing "scratch tickets and illegal activities," leading officers to visit the address on Cherry Ave. where the call originated.

"When officers got to the area, she could be heard saying that she 'saw the police' and would 'not be going to jail.' She was seemingly clairvoyant, but that prediction was wrong," Stachan wrote.

POCKET DIALING
February 24, 2016, 1 year ago By Josh McFadden

It’s embarrassing, but we’ve all done it before: made an accidental phone call to an unintended recipient.

Usually, this mishap occurs when our phone is in our back pocket and we sit down. Next thing we know, we’ve inadvertently dialed up one of our contacts or perhaps even a stranger. Sometimes we’re even unaware the connection has been made, and someone on the other end is saying “hello, hello,” with no response.

This is a phenomenon known as “butt dialing,” or “pocket dialing.”

Cheers
Roger

I have got to gooo as its nearing 10 a.m. and I need to be at Kroger..but..
so excited about picking up Kiara!!! (and its not even my cat!??!?!?!? LOL!
Shopping list is long...SS pay day at my house. Time to stock up.

Later...
Oh, Roger you don't need a 'smart phone' to butt dial. My old cell did it, and I've done it with my iPhone as well. And it could have been a butt dial. As it was way too easy to look up the phone number and get name, etc. The crap calls are not that easy to trace.

. I hadn't thought about a butt dial though. Good call.
