Thank you so much for your kind reply.

I am so sorry. Best wishes to you and to your cat.

Sorry I am kind of babbling, but as a near hermit, Clio was, and Thor is, a huge part of my life.

Again, best wishes and comforting memories to you.

I am so sorry and understand completely. Best wishes to you. People mean well, but . . .

It took me three years before I got another cat after my then 19-year-old cat died. Then I got my Clio, who sadly died 5 weeks ago at age 15+, and my same age Thor, who has complications from diabetes.

That looks really good!

(Although I would skip the remoulade for me.)

No fear, just intense dislike.

Me too!!!

I spent a summer near downtown Los Angeles (in a fairly ritzy neighborhood) in 1972 or 73 and the air was bad and the mountains could only be seen infrequently. LA home prices were really depressed.

That does not negate that we absolutely have a housing shortage and unaffordability crisis now.

I have plenty of dandelions in my front yard (none in the back yard???). I do not use weedkillers as there are always critters and birds, but I can't wait to have the front lawn mowed to stop offending my neighbors. 😃

Back in the day, I liked some ZZ Top's music, but the guys and their beards just freaked me out; dangerous guys who you would not want to meet alone. I could never watch their videos. Sincere apologies to them if they're not dangerous guys.

It's the beards - with rare exceptions I hate them.

And people still keep posting this awful, completely irrelevant painting.

You are not the only one!

While you are correct about food banks, I am blocking all who continue to post this awful, irrelevant painting.

And I think people should stop posting this awful, generally irrelevant picture.

Best wishes to your son for a swift and complete recovery.

The stupid picture, the stupid picture . . .

I am so sorry. Similar situation here a few weeks ago with my cat, Clio, so completely understand. Peace and best wishes to you.

No offense intended (at least, not much 🤪) but I do really dislike the sight of most American sandwiches. They are just gross monstrosities, even if the individual ingredients are not gross.

I almost never eat cake (don't like most sweet things, not because its not good for you), but those all look beautiful and delicious.

Best wishes.

While I sympathize, I must admit that I adore my cat(s), but do not always give in to their request for territorial petting or sleeping. Must admit, I'm so tired of shoveling and cleaning the litter box. 🤪

Lost one recently, sadly another is needing extra attention to keep him reasonably well.

I am so sorry for your losses. Peace and best wishes to you and your family.

I thought I was the only one hoping for this!

Other than momentary twinges for my ex-husband during the nearly 50-year ago divorce, I have never wished or caused harm to anyone since I was about three.

Good grief, no. A thousand no's.

It's one thing to be messed up, another to be an utter scum.

Whenever you think it cannot get any worse, it does.

Indeed.

It's so lovely to have something wonderful like the Artemis II splashdown to celebrate and be proud of.

P.S. I love the plate also.

That looks great!

Good for you. 😀

Another post using that bloody picture that adds nothing to the perfectly acceptable text of the post that could stand alone.

Blocking all who use it when it adds nothing to the post.

That is really gorgeous. Well done!
