I feed 'em, clip 'em comb 'em, skritch 'em, and manage the fetid catbox; but they always prefer my wife's adoration to mine??!.

@ Aktung. Enjoy Ms P and your others as I know you and the missus already do. Our other cats prefer my lady over me, I think. I'm their second " bestest " person they know but I'm still on the bottom of the list.

My other chore that I do is trimming the cats' nails with a set of cat nail clippers; this involves putting the feline on its back in your lap under your arm; splaying the toes lightly and snipping deftly without damaging the cuticle. The cat-thumb requires extra attention. Time(3-4 minutes tops?!!) is of the essence before the critter begins to to wiggle free . Thank God hind-paws only have four nails! The neighbors caught wind of this so I do only indoor cats as requested. Outdoor cats need their defensive armament. I have the cat scratches& bites to show for it, to boot, on my hands and wrists. After a time though, they just slump in my lap and endure the misery. It saves on the upholstery and bedcover tears wherever the beast prefers to languish. My cat always looks at me defiantly as she sharpens her claws on the scratching post afterwards, ruining my good work!

Started the preparations for the trip to Antalya in September and just made a final choice on our Mexico holiday come next May so off to the travel agent tomorrow....provided they can price match the online Tui price.

Was exchanging messages with a woman on FB earlier and she didn't realise she had mistaken the 50 Turkish Lira note for the 50 Euro note when she tipped a barman.

She said the look on his face gave it away....the 50 Turkish Lira note she meant to give him was worth about £1.50 but the 50 Euro note she gave him by mistake was worth £43

No doubt he was leering at her! but ogling her billfold!

Jimbuna · 07-16-23, 02:27 PM

That note was worth probably more than he earned in a couple of days.

Personally I'll be taking both Lira and Sterling but will only be tipping in Lira and to be totally honest I begrudge tipping frequently when the holiday is an all-inclusive package.

In Mexico I don't mind so much but that is mainly down to the American and Canadian tipping culture that permeates there already.

Watching Armstrong on the TV history channel; commemorating the first landing Apollo 11 of on the moon...

Yea!!! Our WIFI/internet just came alive after going out last night around 8PM. Affecting 2500 customers: no phone; no TV; and no internet for 12 hours!!! But like 'Lucky Jack' Aubrey says: "What a fascinating modern age we live in!"

Jimbuna · 07-21-23, 11:31 AM

I thought things were a little quiet on here lately

Aktungbby · 07-22-23, 10:59 PM

/\...turns out it was a specific act of vandalism that cut off service to 50,000 customers in Napa and neighboring Sonoma counties for 14 hours. That meant no TV, house phones, or computer internet....quiet indeed!

Received my free bus pass this morning, a day early.

Mork_417 · 07-29-23, 02:24 PM

About a month ago, we got new shelves for my office so I could have more organizational space, as well as, display space for my "toys".
Feeling better this morning, i decided to start on reassembly of my existing two subs that I had placed in storage.

Depending on how the day goes, I may start on the new one still in the box.
