    Still sad: Got the remains back from the vet today. The urn is lovely and the crematory sent a baggie with a clipping of her fur, which makes me super emotional just typing about it. They included lovely memorial papers, a certificate of cremation with her tag number, etc. Things to be stored away in a book somewhere, I suppose. At least she's back with us where she belongs.

    My two remaining cats have been in a revolving door of hogging my lap. One leaves, the other jumps up and won't allow me to leave. They finally let me have a break when I had to go pee, lol. I don't know for sure, but I suspect they are grieving in their own way. Or maybe I'm just attributing too many human characteristics to my cats.. but I swear they knew she had gone before I did. They acted different from the moment I woke up yesterday, before I got the call..

    Sometimes.. I think I see her gray little shadow in passing in our home, but I know it's not her and it hurts. I imagine it will be like that for some time. I'm mostly trying to get by, but it is, of course, hard.

    I’m so sad for you. ❤️ We lost two kitties last year and it was really hard on us. The kids had a really hard time and I hated being unable to help them. I totally get what you mean by seeing them in every shadow (or in our case, laundry basket)

    Heh. She was never a laundry sleeper, but she was the color of shadows (mottled grays and cream) so she would just "appear" in the doorways, the bathroom, or under your feet when you weren't paying attention. I only knew she was around because of her gigantic jade eyes staring at me from the darkness. :D

    If you don't mind my asking, how old were your cats and what did they pass from? Galaxy succumbed to CKD, which I guess turned into kidney failure. I wasn't aware just how common kidney problems were in cats (she and Magellan are my first cats, before them, I was a dog person!).

    I was wondering if @Thetwitchisback 's garden made it through the hard freeze and how it turned out.....

    Ours is coming in late and saw you back around and it reminded me.....

    Yes, it’s doing alright! Cukes, tomatoes, eggplant, garlic, onions. The spring stuff did well too.

    Pumpkins and squash are a little disappointing this year

    That's great! I only did tomatoes and peppers. It's all coming in slow but tomatoes are turning and the plants are around 5'5" tall right now.....😁

    Wife has pumpkins and they aren't doing well either...

    Glad yours came in well!

    The Voyager Golden Records suggest that the laws of math and science are universal enough to use as a means of communication with an alien life form 🤷🏼‍♀️

    if.... there's anyone else out there.

    and if they are, are they listening?

    I hope not.

    Why ring the dinner bell ?

    My first question: Are they offered in a leopard print?

    Those things are so, ummm, just uh.....I guess I'm speechless.

    Both cats were kittens under a year. One was 9 mos and she was killed by a wild animal 😥. The other was one we adopted when we found him very sick and homeless, so we knew his chances were slim but it still hurt.

    We have this guy now (and one other cat)

    My house has a weird smell in it and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what it is. :blush:
    I know it's not me; I've given myself the sniff test many times to make sure. :wink:

    I would like none, thanks. It's been 90+ here since JANUARY. It's close to 100 degrees a day with 80% - 90% humidity. I'm over it.

    I doubt it changed much yet since the courts have been closed to filings until recently.
    Stay tuned to next year when they skyrocket

    School is starting for my daughter in 3 weeks and I have no idea what's going on 😅 So far, the only thing I know is that the kids will only be going to school 3 times a week and the 2 other days will do School from home. This is so ridiculous.

    Well if the stuff happening down here is any indication...

    That's 3 different counties trying 3 different mixes of online/in person. The end result is the same. In less than a week the infection rate is ridiculous.

    3 weeks from now I hope everyone sees that it's just not a good idea.

    Our county is starting online only.

    Some of my friends down in greater SD cities have started Public School online with their children's normal schools and they're throwing in the towel. They don't see after the first week that some of the counties have the system of "online classes " down pat for their children. They all in the process of looking for Homeschooling options via seasoned providers.

    One of my three cats passed away this morning after appearing to get better. None of us were able to see her off over the rainbow bridge and I am heartbroken. I will never see her, never pet her and never get to hold her again.

    I hate this year and I'm really beyond caring about anything, including obligations I have to other people/groups.

    Sorry about your cat's passing.

    So when a makeup brand is trying to sell you eyeshadow, you'd think that they'd not pile on the biggest/thickest fake lashes of life that block the entire eyelid space. What is the exact point?
