Hi Potties! A slightly belated Happy Valentines Day to all.
Gordon - That Crimson Chat is a pretty thing. The markings make it look like it's surprised. Y'all have a lot of really pretty birds - so many of ours spend winters in South America & are just here for the summer.
Good to hear the eye surgery went well. Seems strange eyes are done differently but nice that it keeps you from having to wear glasses.
Hope Sylvia keeps listening to her doctors. It's hard to slow down if an active lifestyle was normal for her. Give her good wishes from me.Shelly - It seems like the new bedroom is in the home stretch. Sounds like it will be pretty when you finally have it finished. Bet you'll be glad to have the construction behind you.
Your dad & mine sound alike. Neither one were very nice people. My dad raised the daughter of Wife #3 but he left her nothing either. Just a selfish man. I think I was better off not having him in my life.Marson - I don't envy you the weather you've been having lately. Makes me feel guilty for complaining about what we've had - mostly just cold, no snow or ice worth mentioning.
Such a shame about your son & his girlfriend. Fresh air & exercise are supposed to be good for you but I'll bet neither of them thinks that right now.
My "sister by choice", Rhetta, does puzzles. I found a 1000 piece one of Christmas ornaments for her gift. She normally does smaller ones (300-500 pieces) so I think she'll be busy & out of mischief for a while with this one. I've never been a puzzle person; the cats would "help" & I'd never get one finished.Katie - Sorry to hear the stomach bug got you. It's a blessing that it was a 24 hr. version. Probably didn't seem like 24 hrs. at the time. I understand perfectly the feeling it may kill you & then wishing it would!
My covid tests have come. Not sure if or when I'll use them but I'm glad to have them just in case.
You must have a good vet for the old dog. I don't see how the vets do so much good when their patients can't give them any clues about what hurts. My oldest god-grandson hopes to be a large animal vet. I was hoping for a small animal specialist for my zoo but by the time he's in practice I may not have any pets left.Max - Glad to see you again. I know what you mean about the groceries - every time I venture out the shelves are bare in a different section. I've been lucky that at least some of my frozen dinners have been in stock on every trip. My last trip the store was out of my pre-made sweet tea & the instant mashed potatoes that I like. I'll probably go in a day or so to get cat litter & dry cat food. The one thing almost always missing is the canned cat food the zoo prefers. I check every time I go & buy them out if it should be in stock.
I used to read the Lakeland Ledger once in a while to keep up with the old home town. Once they went to wanting you to subscribe I gave up on them. I read CNN.com almost every day. At least they're free.
I thought of you during the Super Bowl. This one was better than most - I prefer a close game most of the time. I was pulling for the Rams because they had 2 former UGA players - Stafford & Michel (sp?). I wouldn't have been upset had the Bengals won - they've been a long time without post-season success. Maybe next year will be their year.
I've noticed the extra daylight too. I was bringing in the bird feeders about 5:30 pm to keep the possum & raccoons from emptying them. Now I can leave them out until about 6:30 pm. I'm ready for more daylight & warmer weather both.Saw my pulmonologist this AM. She did several tests & I'll go back in 3 wks. for the results. Like my friend Shirley has always said "Getting old ain't for sissies".
Took a couple of things by the booth since I was out anyway. Sales have been slow so far this month but that seems to be the case most months lately. If I do have a slow month, I can't complain. Sales have been good for the most part this past year.
I'm enjoying the Olympics that I've been able to stay awake to watch. Find myself going to sleep more than I'd like. It's a good thing they replay most of the coverage in the wee hours when I'm awake. I'm most unhappy that the Russian skater who failed the drug test back in December (!) is being allowed to compete. I suspect she had no idea what she was given - she's only 15 - but it's not fair to the "clean" athletes. Be different if the Russians didn't make a habit of failing drug tests.
Getting time to feed the zoo. They're getting pushy. Everybody take care & those in bad weather areas be careful. Later.
Susan
