Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) Good morning, CPA! *sets out coffee, teas, juices, apples, brownies, and bacon and eggs* Grey day. Please do not rain. Toppage, page 454 (palindrome)! Edited June 19, 2021 by Lagie Toppage! Share this post Link to post
Posted June 19, 2021 Grey day here, too. Very humid! We are expecting our lawn mowing man today, so I just went around the yard picking up all the small branches that have fallen due to cicada damage. They cut slits in the branches to deposit their eggs and sometimes the cuts are deep enough to kill the thin ends. It doesn't really do any permanent damage to any but very young, tender trees, but it leaves a lot of litter lying around. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 19, 2021 @trystan See? No one likes adulting. Why do we have to do it? I propose that only people who want to adult should adult (after taking an exam and receiving the appropriate license). They get to have an extra pack of biscuits a year and the rest of us just have fun. Share this post Link to post

We have awesome people here at DC. For the first time ever, I lost an egg I'd wanted to keep, so I did the 'name the parents' trick, and lo, my egg has made it safely back to me! Why do people tempt me with Lego? Share this post Link to post

I've seen... maybe six pinks? Caught the second one I saw and gifted it. Please go and vote! Share this post Link to post
Posted June 20, 2021 oh, i would imagine shipping Lego is expensive? i've seen lots of Pinks, Flamingos, Carmine Wyverns too! and maybe 6 pink Sapphires this week Share this post Link to post
Posted June 20, 2021 Just now, trystan said: oh, i would imagine shipping Lego is expensive? It's bulky when you have a lot. Banking families are usually limited by weight on how much they can ship. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 20, 2021 yeah, that makes sense. "Banking families" - sounds like something from the 1890s or 1910s or something like that Share this post Link to post
Posted June 20, 2021 We have a lot of offshore banks here (no taxes) and they like to hire staff from wherever their home base is. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 20, 2021 ah gotcha. so if i had a lot of money, i could put it in a Bahamain bank account and not worry about taxes on my riches? must be nice to have that kind of money..... Share this post Link to post
Posted June 20, 2021 I don't think it works for Americans but it seems to for Europeans. And yeah, must be nice... Share this post Link to post
Posted June 20, 2021 oh boo.... i wish i had that kind of money though..... Share this post Link to post
Posted June 20, 2021 Would be nice, wouldn't it? Not to have to worry how bills are going to be paid, and likely not to have to work two jobs, or even one, to keep them paid. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 20, 2021 oh it certainly would. if we had the money, hubby would buy a big enough house and property and we'd have our own cat sanctuary =^..^= Share this post Link to post
Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) That would be paw-some! Weird small island thing happened cat-wise here today. On Thursday, I picked up many boxes of books from a lady who was concerned about the cats at the place she's staying. One has a gaping wound on its neck, the other a growth on its nose (this all kind of indicated in gestures as the lady is Italian-speaking). So I tell her to have the people call the shelter or just bring them in. If they're sick, we will take them. So, she brings them in today. Next thing I know my good friend (who I have coffee with many mornings!) calls me and asks why the shelter is calling her. Turns out one of the cats has a lovely diamante collar on with a tag with her number on it. She and her husband helped the cat seven years ago when it swallowed a fish hook. So cats are now with us (the nose injury appears to be cancer) and sadly are likely to both be put down. But how odd is that, that one of them turned out to be a cat I kind of knew? Name and all!

Posted June 20, 2021 oh that is weird! but sorry about the kitties that might not make it as for me, we have 9 cats as it is.... the latest two have been here two weeks now. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 20, 2021 And fitting in nicely! Good morning, CPA! *sets out coffee, teas, juices, apples, brownies, and Belgian waffles with strawberries and whipped cream* It's Sunday, and I have plans to go to work, partly to check on those two cats, partly to price some of the big stuff that arrived last week. Not sure how long I'll stay there. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 20, 2021 Yum! No plans for today, except hoping that son-in-law can come over at some point to help us install new air conditioner. We also should have our bi-weekly family Zoom. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 20, 2021 Enjoy! Happy Father's Day to those in North America! Coffee and a chocolate croissant in real life before I set off. Share this post Link to post

But don't try to breed summer Seasonals, yet! They are still breeding Springs. I should have trusted my leetle tree. Actually the egg I bred was just a throwaway to toss to the AP -- until it ended up with a Z code! In other news, I just bred one of the elusive pink Iris Florets. https://dragcave.net/lineage/2bPzt Edited June 20, 2021 by purplehaze Share this post Link to post
