How long, oh, how long
Until I no longer feel a tickle on my face,
And, reaching up, find tears
I did not know fell?
“Someday, one day,
But not today.”
How long, oh, how long
Until I do not hear the absence of
A tiny heartbeat as loudly
As a lion’s roar in my...
Rest you gentle, Mr. Hissypants, dream you deep. Your pawprints are on my heart forever.
Early yesterday morning, a large dog, either Siberian Husky or Malamute, came up on the porch that I share with my darling neighbor, Jazzie, and snatched Mr. Hissypants (one of the ferals I feed) up by the...
Spaghetti with maranara sauce for lunch. Dinner will be eggs fixed some way with something carb-y. I did mention that Instacart delivered THIRTY eggs instead of a dozen???
We've all had "those moments," you know, the ones where you look around, hoping no one saw you. Tell me ONE THING that would be on the gag reel of your life! Or two, or three!
Two instances, both sent me to the ER. In the first, I was getting ready to get into the front passenger seat of our...
SIGH...my mind is blank. But I found something recently that was sadly funny, or funnily sad. ONE of the two, anyhow. I'm sharing it, and asking you to share any memes about this danged virus that managed to tell the truth AND tickle your funny bones at the same time, Maybe laughter really...
OK...I just had an "incidence," which led to a neighbor's husband coming to my rescue at THREE IN THE MORNING, and it sparked today's question.
Do you have any phobias?
Why yes, yes I do. I have arachnophobia, and rather badly. I do not like the itsy bitsy bassarts. They squick me out to no...
Lord, I'm out of questions! Lemme see here...
OK...totally off the wall (a lot like me)
How often do you wash your jeans?
I wash mine about once every 3 months. AND...now that you've recovered from your faint, and quit going "EUUUUWWWWWWW," let me explain that I wear my sweats around the...
Oh, fiddle. I've been so caught up in computer weirdness that I hadn't even thought about a question...lemmee see here....
OK...what is your favorite quote? I don't care if it is inspiring, snarky, or just plain funny.
And as usual, I have two.
One appears beneath my banner..."My cat...
Most of us prefer either gold or silver. I prefer silver. However, my very favorite metal is bronze. I can't get enough bronze. EVERY curtain rod in my apartment is bronze, my canisters in my kitchen are bronze, IF I were allowed to change my towel racks and potty paper holders, THEY would...
What to ask, what to ask? My brain is so fried from the news that I'm having a hard time...OH! I KNOW!!!
What unusual talent/ability do you have that surprises most people?
LOL, I can SEX BUNNIES! There's a trick to it, as the boy bunny's boy bits are hidden inside a little pouch on his...
If I came to your house to visit for the afternoon, what is the first thing I would notice that says a lot about who you are?
In my house, books, books, and more books. I live in a two-bedroom apartment that is just under 900 square feet, and there are THIRTEEN BOOKCASES, each of them about...
A great part of the world is either self-isolating, or under governmental orders to isolate. And we're all worried, and trying to keep busy. What are some of the best ways you've found to fill the extra hours? If this is stuff that anyone can do, all the better, and many of us would welcome...
Spring, if not quite here for some of us, is certainly coming. What is your favorite springtime activity?
My favorite springtime activity is about the same as my favorite summer, fall and winter activities. I love watching my ferals go about their daily lives. THIS spring, though, I've...
Since I am currently reading THREE books at once, books are on my mind.
If you were going to write a book, what genre would it be? What would it be about? And by all means, be as specific as you'd like to be! I'd love hearing that one of you would write a book a different methodologies of...
I'm taking a brief break from cleaning for my inspection in the morning (actually late night to me...I sleep from 8AM to 4PM), and since such things are on my mind..
Is there a household chore that you actually enjoy doing?
I have to admit, I'm a fool for ironing. I'm not all that fond of all...
Yards...like 'em, hate 'em, itch to make gardens, could not care less?
I've never had a place where I could actually garden. That may be just as well, as I can kill a plastic philodendron in a week, flat. HOWEVER...I do have dreams, oh, yes I do. Not of pristine yards. Those hold no charms...
Almost Valentine's Day! Is this something you celebrate, or do you give it a pass? Any special plans?
LOL, well, Hekitty is my valentine! I did buy her a new jingle ball, with bright red feathers attached. The lovely thing about having a cat as your valentine is that gifts can be so simple...
Are you superstitious? A little "stitious?" Not "stitious" at all?
I'm amazingly superstitious about some odd-ball things, but not about the more common superstitions. Most of those I learned from my Gran, actually. She wasn't the least concerned about black cats, or the number #13 (other...
One of my little ferals is gone. I hadn't seen her in a few days, but that's nothing unusual. They're in and out all the time. Late this afternoon, I spotted her behind the shrubs in front of my apartment, already moribund. By then, her breath rate was only 6 per minutes, and she was in and...
