A once-living, little grey mouse, not a felt or otherwise fake mouse. I don't know which cat was actually responsible; none of the three on the bed when I woke up would take credit. Such mighty hunters... How sweet that they wanted you to have it. 1 hour ago, Loim said: Hope you lot are all keeping well. And you, too. It's the same daily grind. Morning commute from bedroom to kitchen, occasional detour to the basement, too much time on the computer, not enough sleep. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I'm strongly considering it - I wonder if memes might actually start getting my points across? Anyone got any good ones on why production and sales should seek out feedback from service? 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colonel Kane 6597 Report post Posted September 22, 2020 Well, I went to the eye doctor today... I have been dreading it for two weeks.... My body has revolted and decided it was lactose intolerant..... At least that is what I am assuming, as I can not long drink even the smallest amount of milk.. What does that have to do with my trip to the eye docs, I hear you ask, well, I had to do a field of vision test and last year's test, was in a word... Dismal. This year's test well was a whole lot better. In both eyes I am over the national average for a guy my age. So that is some good news. Now if I can just convince my body that milk is good and it should be ok with it..... 13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pegazus 39098 Report post Posted September 22, 2020 So much to do and so little desire to do it. Wish I could divide my conscience thoughts and set my simpler self to the tasks I need to perform. There’s a short story in that thought, of reverting mankind to a ... less refined mind. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least that is what I am assuming, as I can not long drink even the smallest amount of milk.. What type of milk do you usually drink? I was in a similar situation, fearing the intolerance, but made the switch from 2% to skim/0% fat milk, and have felt much better. I wasn't convinced that it was the lactose, since fatty foods do chaos to me, figured it was more likely the fat. A simple swap has me doing better. I haven't chanced ice cream since the swap, but that's a small price to pay for conserving my precious toilet paper reserve. Maybe you are in a similar situation? *fingers crossed* Got Molly bathed a few hours ago and go the horrid smell off of her. It was ManVsMolly though at the Pet Wash; she did not want to be in there, but eventually calmed down enough to where she let me get her all cleaned up. A 2.5 year old labrador weighing 98.3 lbs is quite an opponent. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haldir 42366 Report post Posted September 23, 2020 Lovely, went outside to spray primer on model parts, only to come back to the garage is full of bees. There was one buzzing around earlier as I was working on said model, but now it's a whole herd of them! I don't want to kill them, so I guess the garage is theirs till they decide to move on. Hopefully that means soon, so I can close the door!! 3 1 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Local beekeepers groups might come out and get them for free. If it isn’t a swarm, you might have something in there sweet they’re after, or a source of water. Both have been in short supply here, but not sure in your neck of the woods. Edited September 23, 2020 by Pegazus 8 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well they are swarming around our recycle cans, so I'm sure they are wanting the leftover sodas & other sweets left over. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
