It doesn't feel that long ago *hugs* Those anniversary dates can be hard. 5 hours ago, Fortune86 said: Car has come back from the MOT. Needs £600 worth of repairs 😧 Ouch! That is why I have such a love/hate relationship with my car. I need it, but it seems to always cost me money at the worst times. And nothing it needs is ever cheap! I GOT MY HAIR CUT! Oops! Sorry for shouting, but it is just so great not to have it dragging down my neck and falling in my eyes and frizzing and sticking out all over the place in this humidity! Share this post Link to post

I am SO looking forward to having mine cut, probably a week Monday. New dog-to-me dog isn't too sure yet but at least she's lying down in the same room with me so that bodes well for a smooth weekend. Share this post Link to post

The only inclination was that he started losing weight at one point so now mom feeds him a wet food every day to help him keep on wait, and he starts begging like 4 hours before his scheduled feeding time He's very vocal That does not sound good. I heard older cats can have a dysfucntion in a certain organ making the metabolism very, very fast and therefore loosing weight and constantly begging for food. Please have a vet a look at him. Meds could help and worst case an organ needs to be removed. I did saw a video about a case like that for an older cat... Being in need of more food and constantly begging for food an loosing weight... Sounds like you need to bring him to a vet. Share this post Link to post

Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) 12 hours ago, trystan said: @DarkSiren - Blackie has a one-track mind - food! Blackie has been started to look older because now he has flecks of white fur mixed in with all his black. if black is pepper, he's got a lot a salt starting to appear! has been for a little bit now. as for my vacation, it's been kinda since mid-March when things shut down, so it wasn't too short... but i'm not satified. i want to not have to work and get paid anyway! i've been at my desk job only two days a week since mid-March, and my retail job was closed. starting mid-May, i started back at my retail job two days a week, 10-2. my retail job reopened on the 5th, and i worked on sunday for the first time since the first sunday in march. this week i was back to all 4 days (Mon-Thurs) at my desk job. my retail job was still 10-2 last weekend and this weekend... and next weekend it's back to 9-1. no, i'm not a morning person either....i like to stay up late and then sleep in. and now i'm back to working my usual 7 days a week (and shooting dirty glares in the direction of my manager because i have three day-off requests in the system (he knows about two, the third is a new request just today, but still)... and one of those days is at the end of this month!) Awww yeah, that would be easy to notice on a black cat! I haven't noticed any on my orange tabby, but that's a little harder to notice on that color It stands out on black! I'd call it salt and pepper too lol Sounds all over the place for your hours! I hope you get your three-day off requests approved! I'd be bitter too if I didn't get at least some of them. And same here, I like to stay up late and then sleep in. I can't do that once I start my adult job though...I'll have to be to work by about 7 ugh cause it's a school 9 hours ago, purplehaze said: I GOT MY HAIR CUT! Oops! Sorry for shouting, but it is just so great not to have it dragging down my neck and falling in my eyes and frizzing and sticking out all over the place in this humidity! Giiirlllll I feel that! I feel that frustration! My hair is dirty blonde and is really thick and gets wavy and curly and frizzy and sticks out in odd places and it hates the humidity and I have little baby hairs that I sometimes pull out of my head because they annoy me so much and ughhhhh. It seems petty but it's really bothersome! I hate having it hot on my neck too. I just recently a couple of months ago got my hair cut to above my shoulders by my friends and it's a total bi hair cut (which I am) and my friends did it and I found out I love my hair at a shorter length! Especially with how thick it is! Anyways,..... I WANT A HAIRCUT REALLY BAD 😧 😢 lmao rant over. I just related to that post hardcore 6 hours ago, Tigerkralle said: That does not sound good.

My mom did take him to a vet, and that was what got him on the new diet in the first place, but we'll definitely keep an eye on him. The vet is aware. And I was away at college when this all started. But we'll definitely take him to a vet again if we feel like it gets worse or something is wrong! (And he's always been a beggar, I think we accidentally conditioned him to beg). But thank you! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Edit: I think I have compulsive NEED TO REPLY TO EVERY SINGLE QUOTE syndrome Edited June 12, 2020 by DarkSiren Share this post Link to post

Posted June 12, 2020 Good morning everyone! So cold! So so cold! *sits covered in blankets* Share this post Link to post

Posted June 12, 2020 Hi WS! I like the cold but all my winter clothes are at my flat. And with lockdown I couldn't have fetched them yet. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 12, 2020 *sends Spirit some fuzzy slippers and a space heater* Good morning, CPA! *sets out coffee and toast* Raining. I do hope it lets up in the next hour so we can put stuff outside at the shop. Otherwise it's hard to move inside. The dog is still not impressed with me but at least she was eager for her walk this morning, and she let me pick off the burrs with no trouble. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) at least the dog doesn't hate you, Lagie.... Rocky will sometimes still hiss at me in other news, i have actual brownies baking in my oven. i worked at my retail job today - at one craft store, and then went to the other craft store to get some fabric Edited June 12, 2020 by trystan (editing....)

Posted June 13, 2020 Mmm. Brownies. My shop day was exhausting. 'Shopping cart lady' is back, and she's labour-intensive (and going to get herself banned...). Share this post Link to post
Posted June 13, 2020 1 hour ago, trystan said: shopping cart lady? She buys more than she can carry at times, and on one of those occasions, she left her several overly large bags with us and left, seeming to say (she's Haitian and her English is nigh indecipherable) she was finding a ride. She showed up some time later with a shopping cart from a not-so-nearby food store and carried away her purchases in that. Hence shopping cart lady. And yes, I did take a picture.

Posted June 13, 2020 Not. She tries very hard to confuse you so you charge less. It seldom works as I always warn her if I recount the price will be higher. (I often round down as I'm adding, so if I have to recount, I never remember what I rounded down.) Rainy grey day here today. Dog and I are watching TV and snoozing. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 13, 2020 hehe, that's a smart way to deal with her then! it was a nice day here.... i actually had my lunch outside! Share this post Link to post
Posted June 13, 2020 That sounds lovely! Our restaurants are part of phase four, so on Monday they can transition from takeaway only to takeaway and socially-distanced outdoor seating. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 13, 2020 heh, it was a MickyD's outdoor dining is okay in our "yellow phase," but i think even when we can eat inside, i might stay outside if it's not too hot or buggy. also, i was the only one out there today, so yaay. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 14, 2020 It's very buggy here, and it has been raining today pretty much non-stop since 5 p.m. The water in the parking lit is ankle deep. I do hope it drains somewhat before I have to drive home tomorrow afternoon. My car does not like puddles. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 14, 2020 i like rain.... but ankle-deep puddles aren't fun. in other news, all three of my desert biome dragons growed up, and i'm now entered in this month's raffle Share this post Link to post
Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) Growed? Good morning, CPA! *sets out Belgian waffles with strawberries and whipped cream* Rainy again, but the puddle has dissipated, thank goodness. Toppage, page 93! Edited June 14, 2020 by Lagie Toppage! Share this post Link to post
