Hi Graham:

One of my daughters saw a British band recently that she said has been around since the 90’s that I never heard of and next week is going to see another British band that also has been around since the 90’s that I never heard of.I was wondering if you are familiar with them :

Travis

The Suede Band

Bobbie is funny. He talks all the time now. He never talked at all when Gray Kitty was alive. I guess he doesn't have anyone else to talk to. And he has tantrums when he doesn't get to do what he wants, like go in the back bedroom. He has a noise that sounds like no, and he throws himself down on the carpet and sulks. ☺️

Bobbie sounds like quite a character!!  Too funny with his tantrums!  I would never think that kitties could have tantrums!😊

@Jimbo I am once again playing catch up, but want to say how very sorry I am that Graycie passed.

I can definitely empathize.  A feral cat and I adopted each other during the pandemic.  He (Mr. Kitty) was such a blessing to me, but after about 1 1/2 years, he had a stroke and died.  It was all so sudden.  I was with him when he took his last breath.

I'm sorry to hear this Pat.

Your pictures are always so beautiful.  But I'm curious as to how the driver managed to get out of this car?

Driver is on the right!

It’s the person riding shotgun that has a problem!

Well, granddaughter is home, but her diagnosis was pneumonia.  Susan and I have a somewhat free day, so we are running all over western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio.  
 

An early morning stop was at Christmas Land.  Somehow, this is how I envision Greg’s house. 

 

 

Even the dogs would feel right at home. 
 

 

 

 

I did find Santa

 

 

and, fortunately my name was on the good list. 
 

 

I can’t imagine how long it takes to put together a display like this.

That seems like a lot of work in order to learn to like something.!😳

 

Think of it like Medical School.  A lot of work to learn something but worth it.  Plus in both cases, when you're done, you can talk about things that most people don't understand. 😜

My wife said same thing after our original cats passed they lived a long time to 17 and 18, within a month of them passing she called me , she had found two kittens, one Gracie passed a couple of months ago at 15 which shocked us since she was healthy and just had a physical, now we still have her brother Joebob, she now claims that we will not get anymore pets , which I know is not true. 

I said the same thing when my 21 yr. old Splashes passed away and a month later I saw Sparky online at a rescue shelter and had to have him.    Then I went back to the same shelter to get his friend who really wanted to come home with Sparky but he was already at another home by the time I went back so we have Sparky and Eva and they are best buddies (most days).

I have to stay off that shelter's website as I saw they currently have a Russian blue @Ocean Boy  available for adoption as well as a male ginger cat (Eric loves ginger cats).

@LuckynanaCharlie won on video poker.  Dinner was excellent, thanks.

🤑     Excellent!     We haven't been to AC in a couple of years.    We do need to get there, maybe this winter we will do a weekend getaway.   Which casino do you and Charlie stay at?

A few years back, my patient did volunteer work once a week at an animal shelter, and I had to accompany my patient everywhere.  It about KILLED me to not take all the doggos home with me, and I had to go every single week.  It was torture!!!  I started taking pics of them and posting to my FB to try to get them more exposure.  So much love in a tiny furry body!

@Sunshine3601 and @brillohead Several years ago, our daughter saw brother and sister, Bonnie and Clyde, needed a home after their elderly owner passed away.  We were in Florida, and our daughter kept seeing on FB that they needed a home.  She took them both home to join her fur baby Scoutie, who was getting on in age.  She was told the dogs were elderly, although their ages were not known.  She gave them a loving home.  Clyde was diabetic, and needed extra care.  I don't know how she did it, she had to give Clyde injections every day.  Clyde lived for quite a few years before his body gave out.   Our daughter and grandsons lost Scoutie last year...he was at least 15 years old, and they lost Bonnie while we were on our cruise last month.

Sorry for the loss of the fur babies but happy to hear they had the opportunity to live in a loving home🥰

We, or at least I, are watching BD Adventure.

I've been meaning to ask, how is your Grandson doing with his recent diagnosis of diabetes?

@Sunshine3601 We usually go to Harrahs,  been going almost since they opened!! I believe we have paid for one of their towers🤪

There was a blurb in AARP (I think), that this pose is called the "Venus Cat Trap". She appears to want a belly rub, but then the paws and claws will grab the unsuspecting hand. 😄Jade is very cute!

Sometimes I have to remember that she is not a dog. My Weimaraner loved belly rubs.

That is why I volunteer at the refuge.  They won't let me take the animals home!  LOL 

So glad you took the pictures, I am sure that helped with a lot of adoptions.

I have had a diabetic dog and have a diabetic cat.  The needles are small and the animals really don't seem to notice the injections.

Buffalo might get two feet of snow for the Bills game Sunday, that should be interesting.

Well, I said Big Tex on BD Adventure was going to be a problem....

Before I got Jade I went to our local animal shelter. When I was looking at one of the cats she stuck her paw out and put it in my hand. I just wasn't ready to make a decision. I went back the next day and she was already gone. I still think about that cat and hope she is having a good life. I can't help but think she was asking me to take her home... but I didn't.😐

Clarification on the dining room changes, since the info here wasn't quite accurate.

TRIAL RUN of new menu on Symphony only at this point.  Hopefully this will go the same direction as Dynamic Dining and No More Crystal Blocks.

The smaller menu is an attempt to increase speed/efficiency through streamlining.

Lobster night will include one MAINE lobster tail for free.  ADDITIONAL MAINE lobster tails will be at an additional cost.  No tiny Caribbean lobster tails served at all, they're not charging for the tiny tails at all.  And you still get one LARGER Maine tail for free.

I now return you to your previous gnashing of teeth.
 

That's what I saw on Tony's La Lido Loca you tube vlog.   Apparently, there will only be 4 entree choices, no more classic choices. Tony didn't believe the reasons RCI is giving for the change and neither do I.
