Dani, I can’t imagine what you and your family are going through. I feel guilty feeling bad that our granddaughter has to go out trick or treating in light rain and chilly temperatures. Hugs to you.

All the good wishes for Andy’s sister are much appreciated. @Luckynana, I hope your cousin’s chemo has good results.

Cuteness overload! Andy's sister, who's going through chemo, recently said she wanted to get a cat. We got her this instead. Maybe I should reconsider. 🙂

Holy Moly! I guess I should be grateful that we only get a few tick-or-treaters, but actually, I wish we had more. I love giving out candy to the kids.

Those critters were lucky you are an animal lover and know how to deal with them humanely. Good job!

Virginia's Alcoholic Beverage Control Board also has lotteries. This was the most recent one: My son likes bourbon, so I enter the lottery on his behalf since it's limited to one entry per person. I've never won one. We did not submit entries for either of the Michter's. 🙂 Who in the world buys $6,000 bottles of whiskey? Virginia ABC will distribute four special whiskeys via lottery on our website. The lottery will be open for entries Monday, October 9 through Friday, October 13. Winners and non-winners will be notified via email by October 20, 2023. Blanton’s Gold Edition Bourbon $119.99 1,382 bottles | 51.5% ABV Blanton’s Straight from the Barrel Bourbon $149.99 717 bottles | 65.5% ABV Michter’s Celebration Sour Mash Whiskey 2022 $5,999.99 1 bottle | 56.4% ABV Michter’s Limited Release 20 Year Bourbon $1,149.99 11 bottles | 56.2% ABV For multi-product lotteries, Virginia ABC runs a separate lottery for each product. To enter the lottery for more than one product, customers must enter a separate entry form for each individual lottery.

Thanks, Renee. Yes, that is the same heated bed we got for Marcel. We first bought the sage colored one the same as in the link you provided. Marcel enjoyed it right away. We then bought a second one that is brown but identical to the sage one. It was priced less than the sage one, but I found no difference between the two. We put the brown one upstairs in his room, and kept the sage one downstairs in our living room because it is prettier. https://www.amazon.com/Pet-Products-3192-Thermo-Kitty-Heated/dp/B07HMVNXXS?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1 After Marcel sleeps in it he gets out and plops down on the floor to cool off. After 5 or 10 minutes he often goes right back into the bed. It does not get hot to touch, but I put a folded bath towel in the bed anyway. After seeing how much Marcel liked it, my son bought the same bed for their two cats. Unfortunately, and neither one of them will lay in it.

Thanks for asking. He's really showing his age (16), and has lost more weight. A couple of years ago he was almost 15 pounds, which is normal for a Maine Coon, but was 9.6 last week at the vet. He can still jump onto the 30 inch tall desk, where he has a heated bed, though!

Marcel has been very cuddly lately. When I’m in the recliner he climbs up and gives me a hug.

That's pretty dang awesome!

That's a fun project for kids and grownups alike. I did it with our granddaughter four years ago. Somehow I managed to capture the caterpillar shedding its skin and turning into a chrysalis, and a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis. 20190907_163045.mp4 20190904_083046.mp4

Soooo, have you folded the laundry, put away the dishes and hung the pictures yet? 🤣

Beautiful. Is that view from your house?

We love that location. Walking through Central Park is lovely. Easy access to Park Cafe and Trellis bar, as well as elevators.

Sweet Bobby was well loved. Hugs to you.

What a sad situation for your son to be faced with. I’m glad he has the support of his fiancé and also from you. Heartfelt {HUGS} to you all.

Im so sorry for the loss of your friend. It sounds like she had a wonderful life. May you always enjoy your memories of your time spent with her. {{hugs}}

Put that money in your slot machine, and win big!

Every time I see this thread's title I think it says "Talking" suitcases. I want one of those. 🤪

So delicate! Just beautiful.

Bananas, as well as most raw fruits, give me a stomach ache. I like them, but they do not like me. Once they are cooked, they are fine. Not sure why.

And this was my grandmother's!

Squishmallows!

That’s a very cool antique

That was a lovely act of kindness. It looks great.
