Bought a cement block to tie to the base of the cat tree. Weighs 80 lbs. at least we know the tree won’t fall over when she leaps up there now. Have fun.

That should hold the cat tree in place! Good solution, mon.

I was thinking the same thing- that sounds like a good solution!Quote:

I looked at this model in the review https://homemakerguide.com/best-cordless-vaccum/. In general, I like such useful sites where you can find the right things for your home, garden, garage and more.
I don't want to celebrate Christmas via Zoom - I want to have it in person. But I'm starting to think that's out of the question for 2020. Way back in the spring I never expected to be in the same situation come fall. They might vaccinate health care workers in the first "wave" in Illinois. I'm a nurse, but I'm in the revenue cycle area (I don't have direct patient contact 99.8% of the time) so I might not be among the very first of the first. We'll see, though.
Even if you get vaccinated, your whole family is unlikely to be vaccinated before Christmas. Therefore, the restrictions will still apply. The next Christmas, which the whole family can gather, will be in 2021, or even in 2022.Quote:

Somedays, some moments
It's just too hard to be human
To be cheerful or friendly or even civil
When all you want to do
Is hide, sleep and
Bury yourself in blankets and fleece
Sometimes too bone-weary life is
And only sleep
No chocolate or tea or
Okay, maybe a wagging welcome-home burst
Of canine enthusiasm
Or a feline escort, tail proudly held high
To the front door
Or the right hug
Can bring me back
From the edge of the void
Sending you hugs, Karen :love: :love:Quote:

I heard on the news that Sen. Sanders had sweatshirts made with his famous inauguration day picture, they sold out, and he gave away the proceeds to area food banks and other good causes. I thought that was pretty awesome. I saw one on a nursing Website- it was that famous picture with him seated on an emergency department cart. The caption said: You've heard of the elf on the shelf ... now here's Bernie on a gurney! I had to laugh when I saw that one.
Oh, that's all great! The picture, to begin with, then Bernie having the sweatshirts made and sold and giving the proceeds to food banks and such, AND then that nursing website adaptation of it!
Thanks, Elyse! :love::love::love::love::love::love::love:
Grrrrrrr. Whoever designed and sold a smoke detector that CANNOT have its battery replaced, but must be discarded and a new one bought should be forced to swallow the great Pacific Garbage Patch in one sitting.
Just had one go off for having a low battery, and when it was finally prized open, one had to break the plastic to get at the non-standard battery that was wired into place. Evil. Just Evil.
Tissue - even tissues can be recycled or composted. But planned obsolescence for a smoke detector? Evil, say I.
I know right. i have always wondered about those smoke detector an why theyre made like that :confused:
How is it priced? Is it comparable to a smoke detector that can have its battery replaced? I don't like climbing on a stool to try to get the smoke detector down when it starts chirping, which in my case is usually at the worst possible time. And one of my neighbors always calls to tell me it's chirping (yes, I hear it and it takes me a few minutes to get the stepstool in position). Is the whole thing designed to be thrown away? It would end up in a landfill, which seems like a bad idea to me. I thought you weren't supposed to put batteries in a landfill?Quote:

I do not remember how much it cost - it's not like there was a label on the box saying "No replacing the battery on this one" when we bought it!
I read on Facebook that yesterday (April 11) was National Pet Day- I caught it there, but not here :eek:. So-- belatedly, happy National Pet Day to all the PT pets, cats, dogs and people! (RB Cassie would have argued that every day should be National Pet Day!)
Thank you, Elyse, from Sparkler and Tinker and me! I didn't know this before. Of course, Sparkler and Tinker agree with Cassie Angel that every day is National Pet Day.
A belated Happy National Pet Day to all our PT friends of all species!
Purrrs!
- Sparkler and Tinker
Cheers!
- Pat

I can relate totally to your
heartfelt thoughts and emotions
I appreciate you on SO many levels
You are a sweetheart and
an inspiration on So many levels
I have been so
Very changed in
the past year
So many deaths
Life changing surgery
Violent crime has touched our lives
Things my crazy, weary heart
Never expected
You are wonderful
I will double down,
I need to be stronger
Definately kinder and
that will take time
Wish you and everyone
Love and strength.
