I love glazed figs, with blue cheese on a cracker. Yummmmmyyyyyy

If you like blue cheese and you like Reuben sandwiches. Try blue cheese dressing instead of thousand island dressing. It's great!

I can burn stuff!

Me too!!! Even the best chefs can do that and I'm sure not that. I looked up that cookbook. I can get a gently used one cheap cheap.

Dilly is a funny cat. He's opinionated. Treats won't bribe him unless it's a small piece of the boneless skinless frozen chicken breasts baked and he does hold a grudge. If they want him to take those meds they will have to find a better way for me to do it. He considers soft food as sloppy baby food. But we'll see. He has to eat baby food for around 2 weeks and then they want me to brush his teeth daily from now on. I'm thinking ok WHATEVER! I'll let them demonstrate to me on how to do that...?

meow!! Brush his teeth??? I know people actually DO that stuff but it sounds like a horrible fate for your arms??!! It might look like a Hitchcock movie! ? ??
Or a Scorsese scene???
WEAR LOOOOOOOONG GLOVES!!!
or better yet ....bring him to the doctor every other day so HE can do it! ?
Either way good luck !!
I am with you in spirit!!!!
Well.... I will be BEHIND you ... in spirit!! ?

Most apple cores contain around 5 apple seeds. However, this amount will vary based on the health of the plant. You would need to finely chew and eat about 200 apple seeds, or about 40 apple cores, to receive a fatal dose.

wow!.... really?
Huh.... ya learn something new everyday
I tell ya..... cool fun fact! Thank you!!
I might pass that one around...?

Ok. I'll be eating Macintosh no seeds as usual. Maybe I'm Johnny Apple seed's close ancestor.

That's in his follow up care sheet. I think they must be joking. I already have to sneak off while I'm brushing him. I get bit when I try to stop. Nope ain't gonna. Unless the toothbrush is a 10 foot pole.

Your so creative! Really amazes me... the fairy godmother skipped me with that gift ?

Thank you.

Dilly got a tooth pulled and it's been an all day lesson in patience. I had to stay up late and get up early. He's still in his pet carrier because he still can't walk. At least he's home though. I came on to keep myself busy until I try and let him loose in the house again. Then finally he might get to eat and take his meds. It's a crazy day but Dilly will get a health boost from it. It was worth it. He even got a senior discount on his dental work.

Shame poor Dilly.

It's gone midnight here.
Happy September, Roommates!
I shall be adding up the points scored for August over the next day or two and then announcing the medal winners.
And the wooden spoon.

Aw aw. I look at the screen biting my nails nervously.

Basically, a bank holiday is one of those holidays that banks are closed. Like Labor Day here in the U.S.

Valentine's Day, in the other hand, is NOT a bank holiday.

Nope, because they make a lot of money on Valentines day.

Wow, I had to look up what a Reuben sandwhich was. That thing is dangerous. And it sounds very interesting with the blue cheese. Funny enough I have only enjoyed blue cheese with glazed figs. But I am willing to try it as a dressing as well.

Awwww, I hate catching up to myself, it always means that I am at the end of the posts and then will need to wait for more. Oh Wait I still have "The Torts who Walked by herself" to go and read and enjoy. Perfect.

So here is another project almost done, but should I paint it or leave it? I do want to take some thick twine rope and wrap it around the tyre. Like in the below. Then I also want to make a table but a really big one for the outside with some big tyres and then seats with three or four smaller tyres also wrapped in twine rope. But I better finish the wall first before Stephen shoots me. ?

I don't know... Valentine's Day can be an expensive holiday to celebrate... I'm thinking banks should be open! ?

Wait, we don't have banks in the CDR? I could have sworn there was an incline over there near corner 3. Or was that corner 13? ?

Valentine's Day can be very cheap in the Cold Dark Room.
"Look, I've bought you some beautiful red roses!"
And nobody can see if you're telling the truth.

One of our cats, we don't trim her claws. Fortunately, she's the best at keeping them retracted, most of the time. But she's also the reason that welding gloves made it onto my wish list! ?

Yes, variable. 5 to 13 average.
200 would make you pretty sick, but probably not kill you.
Around 2,000 would be a fatal dose.

That's a great link. Kind of disturbing how many questions that were asked about the amount needed to be lethal.
