Many thanks to the person who sent that tray for Groucho to sit in, to see if we could coax him back into his old habits. The one time I tried to put him in the cheap plastic one that was here when I moved in, he didn’t like it, because of the dividers.
He is currently sitting on the toilet, considering the situation.
Deep breaths...
Been doing that. Called Kaiser. Lopressor will be delivered tomorrow. Apparently that is often taken in conjunction with losartan.
I'm on two blood pressure meds, it's not unusual to have to take two types together to bring it down. I hope your readings start to come down soon.
It became normal within hours of starting the Lopressor. It only goes above 130-iish over 85-ish after exertion.
I got a beautiful sunny day for the bike ride to return these babies, so that was nice, even if the reasons for both the weather and the trip were not. (Wildfire season is going to be bad next year if we don't get some snow on the mountains.)
You are such a cool person and i wish I could watch MGM musicals with you. I can't donate because I'm going through a divorce, but I'm sending you the best wishes.
I watched old movies on a UHF channel on the little TV in my parents' room on Sundays, while everyone else watched the football game. When I was in elementary school, it was MGM musicals, because I could enjoy them without really understanding them.
But almost all the musicals I've watched as an adult have been much darker, Chicago, Hedwig, Rocky Horror, Pennies From Heaven, One From the Heart, and so on. So I thought I'd start rewatching the ones I haven't seen since I was little.
All these years, I didn't realize what Singin' in the Rain was actually about. One of my favorite bits of Kenneth Anger's Hollywood Babylon was about how many of the silent stars did not have voices that matched their romantic good looks. If Theda Bara had made a talkie, people would realize she was from Ohio, not Egypt.
Hope you feel better soon and yes a cat will always help. They seem not to mind being wet so let’s hope for lots of cat water play videos in the future🥰🥰
I always encourage my fosters to play in water. I figure if they learn to like or at least tolerate it as kittens, they will be easier to bathe in the future.
The two tortie girls from the litter I had a couple years ago still play in water.
Right after this, Groucho was looking interested in maybe checking out that tray, which does belong to him, even though he doesn’t know it yet. So I started sprinkling water on Suitcase from my fingers, but instead of hopping down to the bath mat to dry himself off, he started trying to catch them.
kitties always seem to make things better, and they can tell when we're not well. Hope things get better soon
Stroking kitties is proven to lower blood pressure. They are excellent for our health even if they also worry us to bits at times! Really hoping you feel better & we're keeping all paws & fingers crossed for you over the ocean that you get to keep the 3.
I'm still quite a long ways from the goal, but I have a couple more days. They will be neutered tomorrow or Friday. Either way, Saturday is the day I pick them up or call them to release the hold on them.
Well I'm sure you know many of us are rooting for you & there will be a lot of us very happy if you succeed. I think if they go up for adoption there will be many ppl who will miss them terribly. Including you of course.
I would be a lot closer if TikTok wasn't throttling every post that mentions it so hard. None of them have reached more than 0.01% of my followers there the last time I looked.
I know nothing about tt, I'm the definition of ootl & never gonna catch up now. I only do reddit & that takes up enough energy, idk where you get the strength to do other sm.
I have over 750,000 followers, but struggle to get more than 1000 views these days.
Wow that's a huge amount & I'd think they are false figures being given to you if that's what they're saying. I'd think they should be much higher.
You would think.
They've gone from paying me for getting millions of views to asking me to pay them to get thousands of views.
(That link is to a Reddit post, not TikTok.)
Omg that's awful. How disgusting.
I have never regretted leaving twitter (over 10 yrs ago now) nor never having ig, tt, FB, anything else but reddit. I'm just here for the animals & a very little politics which I hate but get caught up in!
I don't actually enjoy having so many social media accounts, but I have to.
