3. Related at the lowest possible level

We got a cat from the shelter 4 years ago. She was disagreeable, didn't get along with my other cats, wasn't friendly. My husband named her Hiss. She was basically a feral living inside, although she was supposed to have been someone's pet for 10 years.

Recently, I noticed she had a thread about 15" long, hanging out of her butt, with a small dried turd hanging off the far end. I spent the day trying to get close enough to her to get rid of it. God, it looked like bait on a fishing rod. But she wouldn't let me near. I was watching a show in the evening and I noticed Hiss sleeping on the top of the couch right by me. I thought she'd gotten rid of her problem, but then I saw the turd dangling down on the couch cushion. I sneaked a tissue, but she noticed me and started to take off. I grabbed the turd with the tissue, and solved her problem. This was about a month ago, and she is transformed. She lets me pet her, she sleeps on the couch near me, and she is playing with the other cats.

I read after I removed the string, that you aren't supposed to pull it out, but luckily, Hiss suffered no ill effects.

To answer your question, today I played Mega Millions.

Someone else took a dump in the shower stall.

[hibbing]

15. Mowed up 8 trash cans full of leaves!

This is the fourth time I've done that this fall. The leaves are all off my trees now. Now I have to hope my neighbors get theirs picked up soon or they will all blow into my yard. My neighbors are all retired, get out there and get those leaves picked up!

I'll have to run the mower a few more times, then will be done for the year. I find it much easier to pick the up wut the mower than raking and putting them in cans. Always a sense of accomplishment. That's the exciting stuff in my life.


Peace

17. Sorted through my Mom's shirts to make memory bears

She died almost three weeks ago and I am going to make a memory bear for each family member - all ten of them. I did it when my Dad died - made ten bears from the flannel shirts he loved to wear. It's harder with Mom's shirts - she was smaller and the fabric is lighter and stretchy. Even though I will be making smaller bears, I will have to get some parts from different shirts. I have to go buy some fusible stablilizer before I can start sewing.

Here are the Dad memory bears:

21. The other day, I was wondering what it was about the sight of sharks

in photos and videos that tickled me, that amused me. Then, soon after, I was reminded of sharks by a Gospel account in which Jesus excoriates the Pharisees for their pettiness, 'like children in the market-place calling out : "When we piped you wouldn't dance, when we cried, you wouldn't mourn", etc. They called John the Baptist a 'nutter', because he fasted, and were calling Jesus a glutton and a drunkard, because he ate and drank with 'sinners'.

And I thought how they resembled the sharks in the ocean, with enormous bodies (worldly power of the Pharisees) and beady, little gimlet eyes, close behind a little tapering nose, a receding chin and a great big mouth. So, as so often when I hear a reading of a Gospel passage, I struggled not to LOL, knowing how the boom was about to be lowered on them.

But seeing this touching video, and the quite loving eyes of the sharks, I now feel thoroughly mortified. I don't think it's a confessable sin, but I'm going to be more respectful of the more unlovable predators ; though how I'll manage that with pythons and anacondas, who outrageously even crush lions and buffalos, I dont know. I hate them, though they can't help being as mean as us, I suppose.

23. and then there is this

the one defendant was on the teevee lately saying the shark was already dead when he towed it. He looked like a cross between all the drumpf males and smirky the chimp.
