Good afternoon! So glad it is Monday and I finally get some peace, being stuck inside with hubs is torture sometimes.

Aww hope she's doing better! BTW love your boomerang Formica that is so cool...and I swear our cats are twins.
Eat, eat, eat and screw her if she dosen't like it. The only way you should ever just order coffee is if the food is bad.
Don't suffer just because she's scared of food, you said she's old you'd think she'd fill up while she can!

It’s the same pattern in the kitchen just teal instead of white. I love it! Mid Century Modern at its finest.

Her behavior coupled with a few comments she made about their adopted daughter explain why the daughter doesn't spend ANY time with them.

This morning my hubs started to get on my puppy for eating the other puppy's food.
I kinda chewed his arse.
I let him know that in this house food will never be denied for any reason.
If my puppy is hungry and prefers that brand of food I will buy both adult and puppy in that brand.

I definitely feel like no one should EVER be made feel bad for eating.

My background regarding food is ugly. My childhood was spent very hungry. To this day I have food issues. Not overeating issues but storing/overstocking behaviors.
It makes me more sensitive to rude comments maybe.

Got to admit iv'e got some jealousy happening. Iv'e been looking at a kitchen table with that ice crackle finish that was all the rage and they'll do chairs to match I could even have glitter vinyl...glitter Nunny!

I get it, and you're right nobody should feel bad about eating I don't care if you're physically stuck to the sofa you should still be able to eat in peace.
My dad had food hidden from him as a kid and that ensured I never went hungry.
Kind of a double edged sword though, he was also a very brutally honest man and would be the first to pipe up if I was getting chunky.

Thanks, I'm not all the way there yet, but getting there. No more coyote sightings recently.

Although, we have seen some bobcats this morning.

I am hoping your small human gets to feeling better.

I was all "WHAT THE WHAT!?!" at you having trouble breathing so yeah take up excercising!!!

Are they NUTS!?!

That seems a good way to wind up in the hospital for certain!

MANY well wishes for both of you getting better fast.

She was sleeping when I went home for lunch. I made her some soup and she was eating when I left. She looks terrible. She has skin problems anyway but her face is super red, more so than usual. Hopefully some more sleep will help her battle it. I took her to the dr last Monday and they said it was just a virus. If she's still sick tomorrow we'll head back to the dr so they can tell me again that it's a virus. The fun part is we got 'the letter' from the school saying she's missed to many days. I know they have to send it, but it's like What do you want me to do, send her to school sick so she can spread disease?
& Right?! That's what I thought... I'd been doing one of those 30 challenge things b/c I KNOW I'm plus, and I need to lose weight, but I do not have the stamina to do 30 minutes of anything... It's one of those start doing 5 of 3 exercises, then work your way up to 10 over 5 days and then add a new exercise and work it up to 10 until you're doing 5 a day, then you add 5 each day. It's probably pathetic to in shape people, but for me it's a struggle at first. I'd been doing really well for the first 8 days, then on the 9th day I was really struggling to get in the 9 roll ups. Then I realized I couldn't breathe. I wasn't going to call the dr, but then the next morning I woke up gasping for air. The did a breathing treatment in the office, and gave me an inhaler I haven't used b/c it's really intermittent & just feels like I have a big fat cat sitting on my chest all the time. At first I thought my bra was just too tight. LOL

Actually, I think both the pieces of equipment they brought are John Deere, but I didn't want to ruin the joke with semantics.

Nice! I'm so excited for you guys!

That's kinda what I thought too. We're all going to die... do you really want to skip everything delicious? Plus, who knows what they have to eat in the afterlife? With my luck they won't have anything to eat b/c our earthly bodies need nutrition, but our spirits do not.

No, you're not overly sensitive... it's rude and you know better than to say things that are mean. It's one thing to slip and say something the wrong way, but it's totally another to knowingly make rude comments to someone. If you want to enjoy your life by having someone else make you an omelet, go for it. If you want to starve yourself at breakfast so you can drink a bottle of wine for lunch and pass out, go for it... but sometimes you can eat an omelet for breakfast AND have a bottle of wine for lunch.

I think the list of people who've never had someone comment on their increasing weight would be empty. My favorite is when people who are overweight themselves like to point out that you're gaining weight. Thank you.. I already noticed when my pants didn't fit.. but yeah, tell me more about how I'm sooooo fat that you had to comment on it.

GLITTER vinyl!!!!
I love the retro furniture.

No chubby call outs here. I won't tolerate it.

@apryl29 and @21hens-incharge I learned a long time ago some people just have to say something nasty dosen't matter how stupid it is.
Its like they don't get they're in the same boat or are just a hair away from it.
Iv'e been chunk AND skinny shamed both dumb and I was completely aware both ways so they didn't clue me in.
Crap like that isn't helpful, but it does help you weed out the idiots.
@21hens-incharge , I looove retro stuff! So much personality, not all blah and boring like stuff now.

As a kifd my brother used to taunt me about my weight..... and I would run off and eat
I found out he was doing that to his daughter. I asked why and he said it was so she would quit eating so much.. I explained that when he did that to me I spent the rest of the day eating in secret. He didn't realize that, not sure if he knocked it off with his daughter.

Klaus seems to be doing well. I've been spraying her toe w/ vetericyn twice a day. It doesn't look like she's been messing with it so I haven't had to cover it. Since I have just a towel under her I've been cleaning her feet when I change the towel so there isn't poop all over it. Yesterday she laid an egg. I was surprised b/c she been doing a long slow molt so I didn't think she was still laying. I started using a pancake to give her her medicine. She really likes it, I have to give her 2ml each time so the pancake seems to absorb more than a piece of bread. I've been letting her out to walk around a little while I'm cleaning her cage out. She seems to be walking fine sans toe tip.

I think I caught the others fighting over a mouse this morning. Nibbler dropped something and Loki ran to grab it then ran outside with it and everyone chased her.

Tiny human is sick again.. it's getting quite old. IDK if her virus from last week has evolved, or if it's a new germ. She was complaining about her ears when I took her to the dr, & now her throat hurts too, and she's coughing.. no fever. I'm hoping a day in bed will get her back to normal.

And I can't remember if I mentioned it, but I'd been having trouble breathing. I felt like I was suffocating and couldn't take a deep breath so I finally went to the dr. They said my heart rate was fast so they did an ekg b/c shortness of breath is a sign of a heart attack in women.. That was fine, all my blood tests came back fine. I got a chest xray, that I can't get anyone to tell me the results of, & they ordered a pulmonary function test that I couldn't get into until next week. They also wanted me to exercise.. b/c that's what you tell someone when they can't breathe. So naturally, after sleeping 12+ hrs a day over the weekend I'm feeling better and can breathe fairly normally again.

That is funny!

After all that, it was likely a virus

Feel better soon!
