    Nope
    nope, nope

    ...can't do that movie/show that sounds like it may be interesting from the description - but the voice track and visual of them speaking doesn't match
    ...way to distracting
    ...I'm out

    ...and, for the record, I edited a lot of 'dramatic response' from my post!

    I'm proud for not going on a tangent! Yay Me!
    For today!

    Right?

    Weird to me in a way 'cause a lot of people aren't working the usual hours (even if travel time)
    I have been, no change to me except work has been way more work - adjusting...glad for a friggin day off

    ...but yeah - it's quiet, we're quiet...bet you ($1.26!) there are a few "ghosts" that are "lurking" and we will see them spew opinion, enlightenment, personality
    ...soon

    TBF
    We, the participating members are what makes this place fun!

    So speak up! Let's engage!

    Listening to my sister's island playlist as I work through my physio after my hit and run accident 2 weeks ago. Fractured both my ankles, banged up my feet and skinned both knees to the bone, bruised my arms & shoulders ... All I can think about is how soon can I start training. Lol. I was so pleased a few days ago when I was able to drop down to a full squat and walk at a fairy pace unaided... Yay for small victories!

    My dog's been on my mind. :( Her allergies have gotten worse and worse since Christmas and with Covid, all the vet's been able to do is prescribe antibiotics and give her antihistamines. I took her in to see the vet once(anal gland problems) but I couldn't go in so it wasn't the same. :( She's already on shots. I need to do something; her mouth has become very irritated. :( Poor thing.

    What's changed since COVID for you guys? Sounds like that's worth thinking about if they are getting worse. Correlation sometimes equals (part of the) causation.

    Dog sitting for a family member today. I’ve never been alone with a dog before, and I can’t believe how well he listens, it’s sort of trippy almost like he’s human, how does he know what I’m saying when I tell him to come back inside, I don’t even have to fight with him or tell him twice😐. And when I talk he looks right into my eyes 😯

    I can see why people take a liking to dogs now. Kinda weird how he knows what I’m saying tho, trips me out.. in a good way.
    I say jump he’s like how high 😐

    1. sounds like he is well trained
    2. some dogs are more perceptive/sensitive than others. I have had very responsive ones, and others I feel like you have to knock upside the head before they realize you are talking to them. I had one that was a real sweet pooch, but also a real blockhead.
    3. dogs really are the best!

    He cried when she left ( the owner). Sobbing!!!! Water works. and when I would leave the room, he would start sobbing again.. Literally making crying noises!!!!.This dog was really in tune with his feelings. And when I spoke he was very interested and intrigued🤣 Pretty sure if he could talk back he would, looked like he wanted to.

    It’s mind boggling how an animal can be like that.

    Two things:
    • Honey Island Swamp Tour = a fun day on a boat.
    • I still can't figure out what my one cat might be allergic to. Her stomach is all red and splotchy and she keeps messing with her nipples and making them bleed (yuck). We moved to a dust-free (or as close as we can get to it) litter, which helped, but it seems like she's still being bothered on her stomach at times.. and her ears. No fleas, mites or other notable parasites. She still eats and drinks and is otherwise okay. Mostly eats wet food. I try to keep dry food grain-free to see if that might help, but maybe I haven't landed on the right one yet? Or maybe it's the litter still? I just.. ugh. I know if I take her to a vet, a vet is only going to tell me the things I've already been trying. I just want her to not be itchy and comfortable. I want to eliminate all possibilities before I take her to the vet (all three of my cats are terrible at the vets (think a cat squeeze box and sedatives type bad)... so yeah, if I can avoid putting that stress on them, I'd like to.

    I'm just frustrated with this puzzle.

    Could be things like laundry detergent or fabric softeners too, assuming she sleeps on beds and such. Is her stomach white?

    She's a mottled kitty with mottled skin tones, so no. She has pink patches and mid-grey patches (much like her fur pattern). I've just noticed over the last month that she has splotches that kinda look like rashes and of course, the scabby bits where she keeps licking. Thankfully, she's no longer bald in those areas, so it *is* getting better, but isn't fixed.

    I never even THOUGHT of laundry detergent. And yes, she sleeps on my bed and I routinely wash the blankets and hang them to dry. Dang. I'll have to look into allergen friendly detergents. Great suggestion, thank you. :)
