Lame joke…

My family told me to stop telling Thanksgiving jokes……but I told them I couldn’t quit “cold turkey.”

Service man for dish just left. I told him I had only needed the one remote replaced and they couldn't do that. That was a lie. They told me I needed 2 boxes for 4 tvs. That was a lie as well. I needed 4 which would of been even more money. The man went to his van, grabbed me a remote and magic, it works now. He called dish and they wanted to charge me $100. for the service call. I took the protection plan for $11. and that was covered. I will call and cancel it in a week or so.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Today is our Johnny Cash the Man in Black's 24th birthday. I posted this pic of him on X/Twitter this morning.

He has been diabetic for 8 years. We have almost lost him more times than I care to remember. Said that he's gone through 12 of his 9 lives and unfortunately that is very true. Most cats don't live longer than 3 years with diabetes. They are so hard to regulate and control. We accu check him an average of 6 times a day. He was give to us when he was about 7-8 years old by a patient who said he had been dumped near a subdivision and everyone had been feeding him and were worried that he was going to get hit by a car. He immediately bonded with DH. I'm momma but daddy is his buddy. People ask us why we don't take day trips and we say, because we have a diabetic cat. But we wouldn't have it any other way. He's a very special kitty.

We also have a gray tiger girl named Ruger who is celebrating her 18th birthday today. She is my baby. Spoiled rotten with bad arthritis so I call her 'Princess' and carry her around a lot. She holds court on an old love seat we keep in the living room for the animals to lay on.....when they can catch Ruger off it.

Our animals aren't spoiled. But they are very well loved.

I had it out with DISH years ago when they kept trying to overcharge us for something that was their problem. Even had one of their own service people come out and check out the system because they claimed it wasn't hooked into the phone system. They guy said, the H*** it isn't, I hooked this system up myself so I should know. He said he'd get it fixed and he did...it lasted two months and then they were charging us again for not being hooked up correctly. I told them they had 24 hours to fix it or I was canceling. That night they turned off our service. Called them back and said we quit and send us a box to return their tuners and remotes. They sent the box and we sent the tuners back.... in pieces. Enough was enough. Every now and then we get promotions from them. DH just chuckles and says evidently the word about how we returned the tuners hasn't trickled down yet to their advertising department.

Did Direct TV for a while. Nicer people to deal with but we didn't watch enough stations for it to be a smart move money wise. Cute the cord about 10 years ago. There are enough streaming services out there now that we never miss it.

Made oatmeal raisin and plain oatmeal cookies for us today. promised to get away from processed junk food and make our own snacks from scratch.

Also got 2 inches of rain overnight. Yay! No new gravel yet by our drive way so I hear the neighborhood hogs have got the word out that there is a new wallow to be enjoyed at the base of our driveway.

What is that old saying about being careful what you wish for?

Actually, it's a team effort. Daddy handles the testing and insulin. I taught him how to give injections and I have to say that he is the only doctor I know who can give a great shot that doesn't feel like somebody is trying to harpoon you. I do testing and insulin when he is tied up. But mainly I handle the feeding and the fussing, like, Cash, get out of the girls food! Cash, get off the cabinet, Cash, you missed the litter box again, etc.
