Thursday morning cuteness

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 21, 2022:

I love pair bonded kitties.

Penury suffering great poverty, literally having nothing From Latin penuria, to be in want or ...

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 21, 2022:

My ex claims penury all the damn time. He's one of those trust fund babies. He doesn't have it all, therefore he's got nothing.

PECUNIARY.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 21, 2022:

Soooo, what is the difference between Pecuniary and Fiscal?? I love Google. As adjectives the difference between **pecuniary** and **fiscal** is that pecuniary is of, or relating to, money; monetary, financial while fiscal is related to the treasury of a country, company, region or city, particularly to government spending and revenue.

Laureate adjective deserving or having special recognition for achievement, as for poetry.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 20, 2022:

It seems the nation and every state has a Poet Laureate. Why, I don't know. I am not a fan of poetry so I just don't get it.

Wednesday morning cuteness

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 20, 2022:

OMG!! So adorable! For about 5 seconds I regretted spaying my cats. But then common sense returned. I will be happy with adorable pictures.

Some of you will have to drink this and describe to me how it tastes seeing that I don't drink.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 20, 2022:

Whereas I might have tried it about 5 years ago, I now have to be really careful of what and when I drink. Getting older sucks. But, I suppose any mangled mash of ingredients can be caused to ferment, but I'm not sure I want to drink my peanuts. And why the sheep, I can see no connections between peanuts and sheep.

Abseil noun, verb (used without object) to descend by moving down a steep incline or past an...

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 19, 2022:

Yeah, I'm not about to try that :)

Are you single by choice?

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 19, 2022:

I think men of our generation are used to the women doing it all. Men that my daughters are married to are very much more likely to do their part of housework and child care. I'm very impressed. I am not in any hurry to pair up with anyone, I've grown to prefer my independence and doing what I want to do when I wanna do it. It's enough for me to keep up with the kitties. I don't want to have anyone in my life making more work for me.

A friend of mine had posted this on Facebook, he is one of those guys that is more than a little ...

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 19, 2022:

I agree! When I think of some of the s--t from my childhood... I tried very hard not to pass that crap on to my kids. I think I did good.

Can't wait...But, I'm a bit concerned about potential violence/death

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 19, 2022:

SUFFERED??? How the f--k has he suffered? Give me the name of one person who has ever said that. The only thing he has suffered from was gas and that is self inflicted. I can only hope he also has gout, which would also be self inflicted. The man is so delusional he needs a reality check.

Tuesday morning cuteness...Looks like my Kittie!

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 19, 2022:

S/he looks like my grandkitty, Luna Mae, AKA demon spawn.

NETHER.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 19, 2022:

How timely as I have been learning about The Netherlands recently. One of my kids is moving there this fall... So I am guessing Netherlands is the below lands, and apparently they were once below water. With rising sea levels... Oy, and she is mom to half the grands and of course they're going.

Why was the Done Cheato so upset?

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 18, 2022:

MACHINATIONS.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 18, 2022:

Our (US) former president had all sorts of machinations. We're learning more about them every day.

Trump piñata!

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 17, 2022:

Good ones!!

The nesting dove by my bedroom window is sitting on two eggs.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 17, 2022:

When I lived in Kansas (16ish years ago) one of the bedrooms looked out over and intersection of roofs, and a mourning dove had put her nest in the rain gutter right next to the window. We would check on the birdies several times a day. Just after the babies hatched we had a horrible storm come through, 3 inches of rain during the day which for Kansas is highly unusual. Our roof also got hit by lightening about 7 feet away from the nest, so we had fire trucks spraying the roof and all sorts of excitement. I don't know if the nest got washed away or what happened, but we never saw them again. We never saw a nest in the area again.

At almost 70, I could live with a ban on sex. [yahoo.com]

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 16, 2022:

Why not. It would allow the air to clear and give time for good decisions to be fought out.

So far, only minions have faced Justice. Stay tuned.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 16, 2022:

I think there is evidence that indicates otherwise.

A lie will circle the globe while the truth is still lacing up its boots.

Willful ignorance. They are choosing to not think critically.

Are you kidding me, cats don't believe in God, THEY are god!

Co-conspirators are fair game here in the pinata, no?

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 15, 2022:

Yes, as long as it is related to Donnie Boy it is good.

I have been plagued with mice for about a week or so for the first time in a very long time.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 15, 2022:

I have a plethora of jars with lids in my kitchen. I haven't had to trap a mouse myself, though my A/C repair guy said there were mouse droppings in my compressor unit. He said no sign of a nest. I have so many neighbor cats that swing by I'm sure the mouse population is under control.

My Lace-Cap Hydrangeas are in, clusters of tiny flowers within the larger blossoms!!

First of all, now matter how much he acts like it, Trump is not a 12 year-old.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 15, 2022:

Both of them swamp creatures, slime from the very bottom.

Right on Mom!

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 15, 2022:

Religion says to "love" one another, but churches teach you to hate anyone who isn't your tribe.

So now the Secret Service is covering for them too? What the hell!

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 15, 2022:

The Trump S--t just keeps getting deeper.

Yesterday I altered this shirt. How did I do?

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 14, 2022:

Helicopter crashes onto tractor. The 19-year-old tractor driver saved the helicopter pilot's life.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 14, 2022:

My daughter had a cat that would eat raw cookie dough. Basically, anytime there was food unattended in the kitchen she was willing to check it out.

I have my first tomato starting to turn red in my greenhouse! Let the celebration begin - Woohoo!

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 14, 2022:

My granddaughter (age 5.5) was visiting two weeks ago and asked to go out and check the tomatoes. She found the first ripe ones, and of course I let her have them! She loves fresh tomatoes. These were cherry tomatoes, so she just popped them right down.

Now...please...do NOT do this... I said please.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 13, 2022:

I think we ought to send the whole damn bottles, at least of the cheap house brands.

And some levity . . .

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 13, 2022:

Ya mean they gotta deal with S--t in heaven? doesn't sound like heaven to me.

HAPLESS.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 12, 2022:

He certainly has dug to new depths.

Jan 6th hearings are crazy.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 12, 2022:

I get recaps of the hearings and other news when I check into the news sources. I took today off to deal with some homeowner issues, and got a great deal done. I will be glad to be going back to my desk tomorrow to get some rest.

Just in case you had forgotten it is taco Tuesday.

As another COVID-19 subvariant spreads, the risk of reinfection grows.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 11, 2022:

I have **5** extended family members with Covid. Two of my kids, their spouses, and my brother in law all have Covid from different sources. And since my BIL has it, my sister is likely to get it too. Sis is early 60s, BIL is later 60s. BIL got it from his sister who decided to drop in on the 4th. One of the kids has kids, and they being cared for by their dad's parents who are in a small town nearby. The parents are retired and seem to think they're tougher than Covid. This could be interesting... However, I'm NOT a happy camper, this is too many people important to my life all being sick at the same time.

I am ready for this summer to be over.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 10, 2022:

Sounds like you've had a gauntlet of crap recently. I hope things get better soon. I am told that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. That isn't true. it gives you some really dark coping skills, and PTSD. But I know all crap passes after a while. It is just hell while you're going through it.

Our nocturnal feline visitor has returned! Almost certainly a feral, no neighbors anywhere near.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 10, 2022:

I have a friend in Arizona who has a yard full of kitties, and she has had them all fixed. She traps them and takes them to a free clinic. She posts her pictures to FB. She has quite a clowder.

I heard this song on the radio today.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 10, 2022:

I was depressed for many years, and took meds for many years. I got past it finally. Now anxiety OTOH is a fairly frequent companion, but considering the world situation I think that is to be expected.

Convivial adjective friendly; agreeable.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 9, 2022:

I agree, if that cyst has more rights than I do, I'm using the HOV lane.

I didn't know...?

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 9, 2022:

That doesn't seem very reliable to me, too much is driven by personality and upbringing. Like the old saying, "you can't judge a book by it's cover."

😹😹😹😹 Even living near the ceiling, a cat's gotta bathe After all my doom and gloom...

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 9, 2022:

My cats like to get on the top of the cabinets over the fridge. I don't try to stop them, I'm not where I can keep an eye on them all day. I figure partly they like it up there because it is warm, and also they have a good view. I just know I have to wipe counters down before I cook.

Y'all probably saw this, but for those handful that haven't, this is the epic fireworks fail.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 9, 2022:

They're lucky the car didn't go up in flames, or the roof...

My mom was there...

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 9, 2022:

I have Tupperware that is about 40 years old, I still use it. I love their spatulas, use them all the time. However, as it never wears out and I cook less now that I'm single, I haven't been to a Tupperware party in years, or even looked for it online. There used to be a vendor selling it at a flea market site in Omaha a few years ago. I haven't been back to that flea market in ages. Pandemic y'know.

Kavenaugh is not fit to be a judge on any court, nevermind a Justice of the Supreme Court.

Donnie is incapable of love. He loves himself only, and uses everyone else.

They forgot teachers.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 6, 2022:

I don't think a "rational" Republican really exists. At least I haven't met any. I think they're all a few bricks shy of a full load with seriously warped morals. And teachers, seriously, one of our local school districts is having a 40% or greater turnover this summer.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 6, 2022:

I don't think there are enough choices for right answers. Like Ron Johnson is an immoral, lying piece of excrement for one, I'm sure others can come up with other options. I wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire and the nearest toilet was 20 miles away and I was about to burst.

Are your children sentimental?

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 6, 2022:

One of my kids gave me and her dad subscriptions to "StoryWorth" for Christmas in 2020. Essentially every week we got a question about our childhood to answer, and they go into a book for our children and grandchildren. I answered all my questions. Their dad claimed he was "too busy", he is retired and only works on his hobby, a xian website hymnal. (And this is why I am divorced.) Daughter was not pleased with her dad. Daughter and I had a great time looking through tons of photographs for the books. I also made sure daughter had copies of all my pictures from my childhood, already digitized. Dad carted over about 10 large boxes of slides... The grands (well, the older ones, 5.5 and 4, the other two are 18 months and newborn) love to look at pictures of their moms and aunts when they were younger. I doubt if I have any pictures of my dad with my girls, my dad and stepmother were not people I wanted around my kids for very long. My mom passed when she was 45, I was 14. She would have been the most amazing grandmother. My kids have things that I have made for them, and more things I'm making for their kids all the time. Oldest G'daughter has asked for a quilted wallhanging to be made for her bedroom. I have some seasonal wallhangings in my house and she wants one the same size. So I have a new project, and I am choosing fabrics that aren't too "little girl" so it will be appropriate for her as she gets older.
