*tosses cat a few pieces of buttered popcorn*

*tosses cat some cheddar cheese bits*

*tosses cat small pieces of raw chicken as I'm slicing it up*

*plates a mound of lightly cooked chicken for cats lunch*

 

...my cat is not spoiled. :biggrin:

 

...although in truth, a lot of it is extra efforts to get him to gain or at least not lose weight. His hyperthyroidism = it's hard to keep him even around 8 pounds (when he should be around 11-12pounds).

 

Yeah, my cat was recently diagnosed with feline diabetes. Switched from regular cat food (aka carbohydrates) to animal byproduct meat pate thingies and he went from looking like he was going to expire in less than 24 hours (almost totally comatose and ultra-dehydrated) to looking and acting like himself in about 48 hours. Stupid diabetes - he's not even overweight, so I guess it's just because he's really old. Good luck with keeping yours healthy.

Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

I wish that I won the lottery. My problem is that I never play the lottery.

That's me, as well. :biggrin:

 

Time for a turkey sandwich. For me, not my cat.

It's not all that. Why would you want to be on the clock at home. That's where you go to relax.

greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER.

That is all.

 

I work at work and then I go home and work some more.

I play the lottery but only when it hits triple digit millions. I cant be bothered with no mere 10's of millions. :lol:

I play only say that when they ask what I will do with it, I can respond with : Two chicks at the same time.

Don't you guys have a green roof program in Chicago? Ours was a David vs Goliath type situation where the opposition raised 12 times as much money to try to defeat it. We also passed a near billion dollar investment package for Denver.

I'm kind of glad I don't work at home, I don't think I could ever really relax. Atleast now I can just drop my work as soon as my time is out and say "**** it" and go far far away from there.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

A car backed into me at a red light on the way home

 

So now I get to deal with that

Free games updated 3/4/21

Did they accept blame, or are they saying you rear-ended them?

He admitted it

 

I have no idea what he was trying to do. He just put his Rav4 in reverse at a light and started backing up. I started honking as soon as he started moving but he didn't stop until he made contact. Damage is minor but I dunno what it's going to cost to make it look pretty again yet

Had that happen to me at work, some bulgarian started reversing his lorry and drove into my tractor. Thank god for surveillance cams.

Is "Bulgarian" a slur here of some kind, or..? Just confused as to whether or not we need to give Basil the Second a call here...

it's a bit of a stealth complaint against my employer that fires our drivers and then hire a Swedish trucking company that through a series of subcompanies and contracts circumvent our collective agreement(Meaning they get paid alot less).

 

I have nothing against bulgarians generally speaking, but I do dislike the truckers that come to my work, because I've yet to meet one that is as competent as a Swedish driver.

I'm generally not into alcohol (the last bottle of rum, for rum & coke shots, I bought 1.5 yrs ago is still 1/2 full...), neither taste/smell (BLARGH) or effects. eg, it's only the first drink or two that I enjoy, rarely, and it never goes father than that. These things are great for people like me:

...small size, altho at 17% they're very heavy on the alcohol taste (again, BLARGH) but I just pour in a lot of extra cappuccino. Perfect.

Anyone who thinks chickens can't fly has never tried to catch a sufficiently motivated chicken.

Watched the Ginger Cow episode of South Park...

Trey Parker and Matt Stone are the masters of comedy.

There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.

the hell did you do to motivate that chicken?

 

:lol:  Trying to clean out the pen... she would NOT leave. And a more disgusting job than that one I could not imagine.

The US Marine Corps is like an old girlfriend from long ago. You had some wild times together. And while it wasn't all good by any means, you remember the good stuff more than the bad. You would never trade the time spent together but you would never go back to her either. But still, when her birthday rolls around you can't help but raise a toast to her.

 

Hey Shady & Manifested, Happy Birthday my brothers! Here's to you and our old girlfriend.

I don't know about flying per se, but the backyard neighbors (rather elegant looking) chickens love to hop onto and over our 6 foot fence all the time. They wander back and forth near the fence like they're lost for a while then next time I look out the window, they're gone again. They also hop into the bushy tree near the fence and bounce around its branches. Being a busy city suburb vs. a farm, it's cute yet annoying at the same time. :p
