Here I am... late again! Your Wednesday actually sounds kind of fun, hagatha. Putting up those things really makes a home. My friend has her litter boxes in the basement and to keep her dogs from going down there, installed an interior kitty door which wouldn't work for your garage. But it is SO stinking cute! Interior Kitty Door

Heading in town to go the bank. Closing out my oldest granddaughter's education account as she will be graduating a semester early in December. Already have the flights and hotel booked! We missed her high school graduation because of COVID, so we're looking forward to this trip out to Denver, Colorado.

Happy Monday!

Good evening everyone

Connie, I'll have a cinnamon crunch bagel if there are any left

Sleep well everyone

Drac, the interior cat flap will work. The garage is attached, so a cat flap will be installed in the interior door. My only concern is the nose from the flapping so close to my bedroom, so I've bought one of the soft plastic ones with a magnet. The hard plastic kind is just too noisy, especially when one of them decides to take pot shots at the other when they're coming through the door. The clattering is pretty annoying.

Oh, definitely you will need a soft flap. I just thought that interior one was so stinking cute!

LOVE that kitty door!!!!!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Bowling at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

I'm here early enough to put on the Kenyan Special Reserve coffee to go with Connie's goodies.

Can you believe it is supposed to be 80 degrees F here today! I thought this was heading into the 2nd week in November!

Today is laundry and a good cleaning of my floors - the cat and dog hair is epic!

Happy Tuesday!

I vacuumed the house a couple of days ago. I use the main vac for the house and my Dyson for the carpets. One carpet filled the Dyson twice, and it was all cat hair.

My built-in vacuum is pretty cool. It pulls out of the wall and you just attach the desired head to it. It's long enough to reach the farthest corners of my house. When you're done. you take the vacuum attachment off, put your hand over the suction, and it pulls itself back into the wall. It's very quiet, too.

It's a lovely day. Once I'm done with my coffee I'll be going for a walk.

Good evening everyone Celestial Seasonings Black Cherry Berry, Peppermint and Cinnamon Apple Spice teas for the Break Room this evening. Connie, I'll have an asiago bagel for an evening snack. If we could only sell our dog and/or cat hair Hagatha Hope everyone had a good day.

Asiago bagel? Is that a thing? Wish they had those here!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Lunch and Netflix with a friend today. Music Bingo at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning. I hope there is an asiago bagel left from last night - I will take one of those over the cinnamon crunch any time!

Forecast for today is 84 degrees F. Good grief.

Had an exceptionally huge coyote try to get a chicken yesterday afternoon. I've seen this guy twice before, but never this close up. He's so big I suspect it's a coy-dog. Bella the Bloodhound saved the day. She chased him down to the edge of the woods and then about 5 minutes later I saw him moving in the woods and Bella took after him again. I had my shotgun, but I didn't dare shoot down into the woods for fear I would hit her. About an hour later at 5:30, the hen came back and I got her locked up with the rest. I told my neighbor because she has about 80 chickens which she free-ranges. She sent me a picture of a bobcat their game-cam picked up Monday night!

Ah, the excitement of country living!

Happy Wednesday!

I'm glad your hen made it back.

Thankfully we have no coyotes on Vancouver Island. We do have Black bears and Cougar, but not in my vicinity because there are just too many people. Interestingly, Grizzly have started to swim over to the top end of Vancouver Island in the last ten years or so. Hopefully they won't make their way down here.

We have a healthy population of Black Bears here too. And the occasional Cougar/Mountain Lion is seen, but they are usually lone males. Thankfully, no grizzlies!

So the contractors unpacked my 65" TV that was still in the moving company's box with al the padding, and the movers had damaged the TV by denting a corner and it no longer works. I contacted the moving company, but I don't expect to get anything out of them. It was a beautiful TV.

Was your move not "insured" hagatha ??

I always took out insurance against the removers for every one of my many moves because something always got lost or damaged.

It was not an expensive procedure and I never failed to get compensation ....

I did have insurance but I haven't heard back from them and I emailed this morning. The problem is that the move was three months ago. I'm not strong enough to get the TV out of the box, and they didn't unpack it for me at the time of the move, which I found odd. I'll wait and see, but as I say, I don't expect much out of them.

Oh, hagatha, I'm so sorry to hear this. What a disappointment. I hope you pursue it with the moving company.

Oh, if they didn't unpack the TV at the time of delivering your items, I'm not sure what your position is.

But as Draclvr says .. DO pursue the matter. I imagine a large television like that will be rather expensive to replace ??

And if possible try to get some legal advice ??

We have an "Insurance Ombudsman" department here in the UK who have the power to force Insurers to pay up if you have a valid claim.

I had to use them against a company myself a few years ago - AND - with their help I won my case !!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. A Pedicure is on the agenda today. Black bears and coyotes are making themselves quite comfortable in back yards here. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

You always hear these horror stories with movers. Some never get their belongings delivered, GONE!

You wonder why they did not unbox that TV?..........They know they damaged it. We are gonna be moving out of Florida in the next 4/5 years and we are gonna have to deal with movers

Today you have to take pictures of everything when moving before they pack and check all before they leave and have all insured. You can't trust anyone anymore at the same time accidents happen but they should have told you, taken responsibility

I hope you get what you deserve hagatha, compensation

TV's are, what I consider, "dime a dozen" today as long as you are not buying the "latest greatest"

Check these out

Good morning! Fresh pot of Kenyan Special Reserve this morning. Hubby and a good friend headed up to our big 120 acre farm to set up the deer stands for opening day Saturday. So I get a nice quiet morning to enjoy coffee and do my Wordle!

Not much on the agenda today. Floors clean and even moved my big heavy computer desk/book shelves away from the wall yesterday. Oh, my! The cat hair back there was epic! One of the things we have to keep up with here in the fall is dead Asian lady beetles. They swarm and get inside your house and smell REALLY bad! All this warm weather has kept them going much longer than usual. These guys are an invasive species and a big PITA!

League bowling tonight. Happy Thursday!

Orion, the movers came with decent reviews. However, I think you might be right about them knowing they damaged the TV. Why else would they not unpack it and put it back on the wall? Lord knows I paid them enough for the move. The TV was 65" OLED so not exactly a cheap tv, plus it has a sound system attached to it which I can't use without the TV.

My cats are going nuts this morning. They like the little foyer I had built yesterday, with its flap. I've moved one litter box in there so they get the idea. I also need to put a lamp in there so they can see. I'll hit Canadian Tire on the way out this afternoon and get them all set up.

I've never had a removal firm that would "set up and test" a TV to see if still worked after delivering it.
They would put it in place but the the testing would be up to you.
[Obviously, I don't know how removers work in Canada.]

However, whether it's "set up" by the removers or not, it SHOULD be put in place AND inspected for any easy to see outer damage.

There is a "time limit" for reporting damage caused to items here. But it's not always applied to things the removers themselves chose not to unpack on the day.

Pursue them, hagatha !!

I will call tomorrow, but the fact that they didn't respond speaks volumes.

They didn't even bring the TV into the house. Just plopped it in the garage, which is why I had to pay someone else to bring it into the house and unpack it.
