COLD DARK ROOM

I have read that some cats are a lot better than others for people that are allergic. There is a Siberian cat that supposed to be really good.
Unfortunately your short-haired domestic like mine is are not on that list is hypoallergenic cats.

The ones without hair would be okay as well.

Yes but I'm not sure I want to wake up to Anubis looking me in the face every morning. Lol

 

[DE42]

Well Whatever you do, don't put Ghost shrimp in there. They just cause nonsense.!!

Why would I kill them to get ghost! [emoji317][emoji317][emoji317]

Make sure your Mom and Dad have a basking spot and a cool spot for you.

Not for redfoots! Steady warm temperatures day and night. No basking needed

From the “It’s Always Something” department......bathroom call at 0300 revealed a leaking toilet flusher gizmo. A quick disconnect at 0315, but looks like we are off for a replacement valve this morning. But, YouTube to the rescue helps prevent common errors. Anymore before I do a fix on anything I watch a YouTube “how to” video first.

Ray’s tap and Yvonne’s remote issue (and pump) fall into this category of “It’s Always Something” - as do lost passports, being hit by recycle bin lids, hit by cars, etc.

That is so NOT a good time to discover a plumbing leak! Why can’t these things develop when you want to be awake and have time to deal with them? (Rhetorical question... life ain’t like that )

@Bee62 : Is this a bee? It is totally black, no other color, no stripes. There were 5 or 6 of them in the cactus flower this a.m.:

That does not look anything like to Bee. She is much prettier than that.







Oh. You mean the bug.... Umm.. let me consult the leprechaun because I have no idea.

‘Cause “It’s Always Something” !

Update: part acquired at WalMart and installed with minimal chaos.

For Sully owners, especially in N. America, it’s prime sweet corn season! Sweet corn husks are basically grass....and good for Sulltys.

Folks like to remove the husks as they pick for purchase...and discard at the store. Our WalMart has a dedicated trash bin right by the sweet corn. They are more than happy for us to take it away!

A lot of FREE FOOD!

Yep, look like solitary bees to me.

Hello everyone having troubles identifying this weed. Its hard to find the info because its kind of generic looking.
Any Ideas? When Opo walks thru it he doesn't eat it. But when Opo walks amongst the cactus. He doesn't eat them yet even though he loves cactus. Thought it might be another source of food.

Wow thanks for the info. We have a friend who works in the produce at Walmart. I will ask her.

 

[Maro2Bear]

Hhmmmm, some kind of grass.

Yep...it’s just tossed away. Free food out the door.

Adorable! I hope your allergies subside. My daughter has a cat that I got for her 9 years ago and she does fine with it. However, she can’t get near the outside cat without having major reactions.. it’s very strange

And really interesting to me. Our cat is scared to death if he accidentally gets outside. Maybe their fur collects pollen or mites when they are outside. Most people take their dogs out. Unless they are so small they can use puppy pads. Possibilities...my rabbit loves babies.

People that are allergic to cats are usually allergic to a specific protein that is created in their saliva. That protein gets on their fur as they clean and that is what people are typically allergic to. It's also on anything they lay on and the loss hair that comes off.

Ray, are you close enough to feel it?

Back in the early 90's I saw a nighttime launch. We were in Ft. Pierce, about 60 miles away. It was beautiful! A pinpoint of light that suddenly exploded across the horizon into an orange glow. The rocket arced directly over our heads, or so it seemed.

It's a good memory for Pete and me. I'm so glad I've witnessed that once. It's something I wish everyone had the opportunity to see.

No cant here or feel anything. When the space shuttle was in operation. When it entered the atmosphere and broke the sound barrier. There would be 2 quick booms. Sometimes it would set off car alarms by me and dogs would start barking.
I am going to take my wife and mother in law to watch a launch close up. You are about 3 miles away from the launch site. It is kind of pricey but I think it would be a great experience.

Good morning all, it's bright but breezy here at the moment and looks like that will continue for a few days.
I had such a weird dream last night.
I dreamt that hundreds of baby spiders were hatching (probably because one was walking across the window of my car yesterday) but then they turned into tortoises and I was running around trying to find nice gardens for them to live in. Don't know if I succeeded - I woke up or changed dream .
Hope everyone has a good Thursday!

That's a crazy dream all right.
