No, just worked on the quads some. Though I have never in my life been able to do the "catcher's squat" without pain standing up and if I get down for more than a minute or two, can't walk comfortably for a bit. Same thing if I am just sitting on the ground. My knees do NOT like to be in one position very long.


And here I was going to guess you started a day care

Have you been checked for uric acid in the joint? If it is there, gout medicine can cure it. Gouty arthritis is the only curable arthritis.

@Wickedchicken6 I don't feel so tiny after the holidays

My freshman year in highschool I weighed 97 pounds. DH refers to me as his ummmmmm errrrr....dwarf wife, LOL. I just say I'm height challenged. Those little grabby sticks are my best friends.

Thanks LS and Ron! We did not get any fish only a few bites. lol
But we had a nice time and very relaxing atmosphere.

Cap your view out back is so pretty! I would love that view all the time.

Oh yes, it is so nice here. I prefer it with leaves, but they will return. I love the wildlife too, except when they get up in our roof. Husband is trying to catch some rodent up there with a mouse trap. He needs a rat trap, so i will get him a couple when i go to town.

Ok, all my knowledgeable friends, I need your help with a problem. I need to convince my DH to let me have what I really want for Christmas. A kitty. I really miss having a kitty since we lost our last kitty Mizia to feline Leukemia 2 yrs ago. We took her in after our neighbor and friend passed away. I really want to rescue another kitty. I really really miss having a kitty around. I hadn't brought it up to him for a while but when I did he just wasn't too keen on the idea. I think his objection might be the litter box. He got stuck with that job when I was dxd with Leukemia until my immune system got built back up and again for the entire winter I was stuck in the wheelchair.
Any ideas, suggestions?

They make self cleaning litter boxes. I think some have sensors and timers so they don't run until some time after the cat has gone away (I presume so it doesn't scare the cat). If the only issue is having to scoop the box, that should get you a new kitty Take him with you to the shelter and let a cat pick him. He can't turn that down (then you can get one for yourself as well).

Chicki, tell him how you feel and that it is at the tip top of your Christmas list. Hubby let me keep one of Crazy Cats kittens because i really wanted a lap cat. It is great for both of them because they have each other to play with now. No fighting or territory disputes. Love it!

Yes! Agree with bruce and Ron....the self cleaning litter box and getting a kitty at a shelter.

I've also taken house kitty's in from folks who have a loved kitty bit can't keep it anymore if they've gotten sick, or have to move etc. All the kitty's I've taken in have been very nice. Plus they've been loved and already trained. I prefer an older cat myself, it's a better match as far as activity wise. Plus they are harder to rehome. I always a fan of the underdog. You can find a younger cat or kitten at a shelter or needing to be rehomed as well if that's what you're wanting.

...and I like those grabby sticks for picking up things that are down! That's funny!

chicki, even the self cleaning ones have to be emptied, and dealt with occasionally. If it were me, and I am fully aware you are not me, or in my situation, but I think I would flat out ask him, if it's the litter box issue. Dh has to do the cat box, since I too am unable to do it. He doesn't mind it much, IF I buy a certain brand, and type of litter. When these cats are gone from old age, if he decided he didn't want to deal with a litter box, I would have to accept it, since I can't do it. In that case, I would put in for a puppy.
