Wheres Toto Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 If you make the suggestion the suspicion will be there that you or someone in your household is the culprit. Are they sure it is a human doing it, and not a large dog or other animal? Really, I don't consider myself such an expert on poop that I could ever be sure it's human. I've seen similar looking stuff and we have bears, deer, foxes, raccoons, coyotes, tons of dogs, and who knows what else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Because a large animal wouldn't wipe itself with a t-shirt and leave the t-shirt behind as well. :huh: :scared: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJosMom Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Good Monday Morning! There is a worldwide shortage of coffee - we'll have to drink boiled tree-bark juice today. :( #happyaprilfoolsday Love you all! That's a very funny joke, Susan. Couldn't it have waited until after my first cup of coffee, though? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJosMom Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Educational Post Alert! Roman Roads Media (huge fans here; we're loving the Greeks) has announced a new course for the fall. It may be not such a good fit for DD, but it looks to be right up my alley!

KrissiK Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I don't know where my elderly kitty is. Her cyst came right back, after we got it lanced a couple weeks ago. But it didn't seem to be bothering her. And the yesterday... I'm not sure what happened to her. It looks like her back joint is dislocated or something. She was limping terribly and obviously in pain. We noticed this late afternoon, after the vet closed. She did eat something. There was not sign of trauma on her body, so I don't know what happened, other than that she is just an old kitty and things are falling apart. There are no 7day a week vet services nearby, so.... I just don't know what to do. She hasn't shown up this morning, so maybe she just passed away somewhere. I'm afraid to look. I don't do well with hurt animals. Critter, I wish you lived close by. I'd be calling you over! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I am back from the stores. Kohl's, Aldi, Kroger, and Goodwill. I tried on Slache's recommendation for bOOkshelves and will order them online much cheaper. :D Aldi was regular grocery shopping, though I spent quite a bit more than usual. I went to Kroger to pick up broccoli florets and cabbage. It's 1/2 price day at Goodwill and I found ds12 a couple pairs of black dress shoes - one for now and another for when he insists on growing again. 2 pairs for $4!! 👠(Poor kid performed his concert last night in shoes at least a size too small. Bad, BAD mom!!) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now that you have the next 2 sizes, you shouldn't have to worry about dress shoes for at least a month or so. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'all, how do you refer to SWB with your kids? I've called her "Mrs. Bauer" with DS, but maybe Dr. Bauer is more appropriate (because Ph.D.), or does she use Dr. Wise Bauer?

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 The college boys have taken over the living room with their guitars and amps. I like them.

Another Lynn Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I Zumba'd. Wow Jean! That's great! The house is mostly company ready. Need to wipe down kitchen counters and table. And dry the table cloth. I really need another casual table cloth that fits my table. (Because, you know, I have several that don't fit my table. Why? I guess we might have a smaller table someday??? Or I'll give them to kids when they move out? Or I like storing things that have no practical value in my life?)

lanalouwho Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I am slowly catching up on dishes and laundry. I can't just do it all at once and use too much water, so I have to do it a little each day. It's going to take me at least a week to catch up. On the bright side, that means I can ignore it for the rest of the day. Maybe I'll make a mocha and read a book.

Critterfixer Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Home from work. Had to work on my other old kitty today. He's been diabetic for almost five years now, and he just decided to deregulate on me over the last week or so. Sigh. I hope he isn't developing insulin resistance. Looks like I'm going to be doing glucose curves for a while. Glad Rocky is eating. Check your kitty for a wound, Krissi. There are a lot of cats moving around right now and it's possible she got in a fight. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Old tablecloths are handy for picnics, makeshift kayak sails, to wrap up injured kitties, or just wrap up petulant kittens who need wrapping, or to toss over an aggravated rooster.

I would have someone check that outlet immediately to make sure that there is no short in the wiring. And I would change out the outlet before getting a new microwave. Something melted that plug and I doubt that the melting came from the plug itself (if that makes sense). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 We have dinnered, bathed, deticked, and musicked. The kids are planning to play some of the songs they've been working on at the next Old Lady Party on Friday. The elderly at the party are quite enthusiastic when it comes to kids playing music. They'll even sing along - oftentimes the same song as is being played. :D 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I have an idea to combine a John Denver song (Take Me Home, Country Roads), Shenandoah, and America the Beautiful. Not sure it will work or be at a level the kids can play. Also there's the copyright issue. Humph. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
