Random thoughts in the Dog House

Good grief, that's horrible, Elyse! How thoughtless, and how ignorant, of these alleged-neighbors. Can you complain to the management, and if so, would they do anything?

How many floors up is your place? Too many to consider taking the stairs instead, I assume? Especially if you're coming home with a bag of groceries or something.

I hope something can be done to get these jerks to comply.

I'm on the third floor. There are six sets of 8 stairs each with a landing in between. Going down is harder than going up, not that either way is especially easy. Our custodian cleans the elevator once a week- which consists of sweeping the floor and taking a quick swipe at the buttons with a wet rag. I'm just really tired of pleading with my neighbors to do this simple thing. There are a few residents in the building who have serious health conditions and it's them I am most concerned for. It's been brought up to management and they have said that they can't force people to comply. It just makes me really mad.

My kitten is now Huge. Has anyone had to weigh down their cat tree so it's safer for pussy? If so..... how. She is huge now. Substantial cat 4 sure 😻😼😸🙀😾

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!

I love animals, but the wool at home is exhausting. Taking out a large vacuum cleaner, stretching the wire is already nauseous. That's why I bought a vacuum cleaner with rechargeable batteries just for small cleaning every day. Took Shark Navigator Upright Cordless Vacuum. 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.

Hey, it is totally working great! Old man almost had a stroke carrying it up three flights of stairs. It was his idea. 殺藍藍 although, seeing him resting on one of the stairs...bit scary. Of course the cat would not jump upon it for a week. CATS eh!!! 
