Congratulations!!!! :cloud9::heartshape::redheartpump::loveeyes:

The holidays are a good time to reread Homer's Odyssey and Homer: The Ninth Life of a Blind Wonder Cat by Gwen Cooper

Hubby did the cooking and wanted something easy to prepare that my elderly m-i-l could readily chew, so he made goulash. It had the added advantage of lots of leftovers, so he didn't have to cook again the next day.

It's a toss between my very first Christmas abroad, spent with a German exchange family, and my former brother-in-law's first Christmas. Being Jewish, he'd never celebrated, so he didn't want to miss a single tradition, carol, dish, etc.. :lol: :lol: I'd never seen an adult so excited about...

Congratulations! You've all made a valuable contribution to our little community and richly deserve this recognition! :woo::bunnydance::party::party3:

I've seen young kittens eliminate in anything that resembles a litter box even if it's never contained litter. It's happened often enough at the shelter that it's not a fluke. Dust pans are a real favorite and often smell "right", but empty food bowls, tunnels or even handbags(!) are sometimes...

Except at mealtimes, Mowgli barely makes a sound. It took us a long time to get used to that, because our last cat was the exact opposite

A fair amount of the baby/kids' clothing at thrift stores is brand new or worn just a few times. Kids grow so fast that by the time the size is just right, the clothes are too heavy or too light for the season. Besides that, think of all the gifts. What one person finds "adorable", the next...

All I see is an annoyed swat, no drama.

She's not perturbed enough to put her ears back.

Many vets - as well as doctors or nurses - are sceptical about their being as accurate as a rectal thermometer and won't use them in clinical situations. Still, ear themometers designed for pets seem accurate enough to measure elevated temperatures in a home setting and are a lot easier to use...

I tried it a couple of ways, using the toolbar or typing the tags myself, adding a spoiler title or leaving it without a title. Everything worked. I think the site sometimes hiccups.

Testing the spoiler function. Second try. Attempt without a title. @Boris Diamond It seems to be working fine for me. :dunno:

Aren't electric kettles great? We make a big pot of filter coffee in the morning, but tend to drink tea in the afternoon and evening, so we use our electric kettle constantly. Electric kettles are pretty much standard here, and so many family members and friends from the States switched to them...

That's what I like to do. However, I've been reading the Kate Redman mysteries by Celina Grace, a British detective series, as individual books have been offered for free. I've read most, but not all, of the books in the series. Currently I'm about halfway through #11, Fury, and have #12...

There isn't; it's a horribly dangerous situation. A friend is a nurse at a German nursing home that's allowing no visitors, tests all staff and residents twice a week, and requires N95 respirators for staff at all times, and for residents outside their rooms. As careful as they're being, one of...

It is. You get excellent and speedy care regardless of your income. Give me this form of socialized medicine any day. If I could give my family and friends in the US just one thing, it would be German health care. My American friends in Germany all say the same.

This month, Germany is going to start distributing 3 free certified N95 (FFP2) respirators to people over 60 and those with preconditions (with a doctor's note). As of January, those same groups will get 2 "forgery-proof" coupons - sent by their health insurers, the country has univeral...

It's a German company called CleverCat. Our last cat managed to break one of the beds the first year with all his jumping around, and the company immediately replaced all three beds - talk about service!

Though that description could apply to most spy novels and many police procedurals. :lol: It's "elastic". This particular series might fit in the " paranormal " category, too.
