I'm sorry you had to say goodbye to your kitty. I've had to put down my share of them, and it's never, ever easy. But it's too cruel to keep them alive if they're suffering. When you love them that much, you want the pain to be over.

Saturday we had another fantastic church cookout. Our church has a small parcel of land right on the edge of a lake. Big enough for a pavilion, playground, volleyball net, and plenty of room to stroll. At sunset we had a roaring campfire going, and my biggest thrill that night.... got to toast...

I'm happy for you that some Street veterans are coming to your neck of the woods. Chances are good Caroll will have Oscar with him. I've been extremely fortunate to meet him and Bob a couple times each, and they are two of the nicest people you could ever meet. If you get a chance to sneak one...

Oh, Drtooth, if you were still here, you could go to town listing all the brain cell-melting tv crap out there. Honey Boo Boo still gets the nod for me.

How are the baked beans up there?

Join the club. I'll make room for ya! Actually if I was going to be grumpy, or old, it would've happened by now. But it hasn't. It just blows my mind about the intelligence or mindset of some young people today. On the news not too long ago, there were some college students protesting Trump...

What made you smile today? 317 posts What made you frown today? 314 posts. Smiles finally beat out frowns. Hallelujah! It's so easy to frown, so easy to rant, so easy to complain (maybe too easy?), blah blah blah. To be positive, and stay positive, yes, you have to work at it. But it can be...

And the wonderful thing is, friends appreciate things you do for them. You don't have to spend a ton of money. Even something as simple as a hand-written note can brighten somebody's day. You're in a good place with the friends you have.

Pepperoni pizza washed down with a diet Dr. Pepper. Can't beat it. So nice to have a great pizza place within sight of your house. Drtooth mentioned once, and I agree, the mom-and-pop pizza places beat the crap out of the chains. Around here, Papa John's is decent. Domino's- meh. Pizza Hut...

Some of us are too slow/senile/stubborn to move on. But you didn't hear that from me.

Tonight's a cool night down in the 60's, I can sleep without the fan on. For the summertime around here, that's almost unheard-of. A good night's sleep ahead. That's worth its weight in gold.

Got to visit my friend David today. He's in the same state of mind I was in two years ago: injured on the job, can't work, can't drive, therapy coming up, relying on others to help out, going back to work seems like such a long way off. At least he only has to wait four months. Took me a year...

I've totaled two cars, both on black ice. Both times I was able to walk away. You should be thankful you're still in one piece. Cars can be replaced, people can't. You won't know if the car can be fixed until the claims adjuster does his evaluation. Depending on how old the car is, mileage...

I still have a crapload of DVDs, CDs, etc. I even have some cassettes from the 80's that haven't disintegrated yet. I still have LPs. Those cumbersome 12 inch discs of slowly-rotating vinyl. Mostly for two reasons. Artwork and autographs. Back in the 60s and 70s, album covers were artistic...

What is the landlord doing? Some things you can take him to court. Depending on circumstances, judges might side with you while landlords get the book thrown at them.

Don't let fear get the best of you. You've come this far, don't let it stop you. The worst thing that can happen, because people are afraid of failing, is they stop trying. Bombing a midterm can be a setback, but it's not the end. One thing that's really screwed up, and I know myself from my...

Back in the 60's, when hippies invaded Sitcom-Land, the results were hysterical. Snowthy, you could appreciate on Bewitched, one episode ("Hippie Hippie Hooray") with Samantha belting out "the Iffin' Song". A few local L.A. groups, like The Seeds or The Standells, would turn up and rock the...

I have a few Persians. Long hair, bashed-in faces. Only one really meows, the others make little chirps, sound like Ewoks. But they're all adorable.

How many kitties do you have? What are their names and what breed?

Got to enjoy an Orange Julius today. For those that never had one, these stands that you find in malls (usually paired with Dairy Queen) sell these drinks, with simple ingredients: orange juice, crushed ice, confectioner's sugar, and powdered dairy creamer. The sugar and creamer make the orange...
