Good Morning soot, Draclvr, oldbroad, Marian, hagatha and everyone. Double dark Wide Awake brew is ready...I've already had a cup.

Spring has arrived here and I know because my daffodils are up and blooming! I just hope with the cold nights ahead this week they will be okay. I have at least 2 dozen in bloom and ready to open!

Draclvr and hagatha, I had my hair cut yesterday too...we must be on the same schedule. Looking forward to a nice walk this morning...hoping the wind calms down.

Enjoy the first full day of Spring!

Gerry

Good morning Gerry Hagatha OldBroad Marian and everyone else who gets the chance to pop in. I hope the winds settle for you too Gerry. I brought a box of mixed bagels from Panera Bread this morning to go with Gerry's Double dark Wide Awake brew...enjoy. Off to grocery shopping and other projects and chores for the day.

It's Hump Day 🐪

I've been getting haircuts more frequently lately because I am finally growing out the grey. I have a good colourist who is able to transition the colour quite well, but anyway, it turns out that after all these years and years of colouring my hair, I haven't got all that much grey! For that I have my mother to thank.

I have hummingbirds coming to drink from my waterfall feature now. I'm not worried about the cats because they won't go near the water, so I can enjoy the little flying jewels.

Good Morning soot, hagatha and everyone. Wide Awake dark brew awaits.

I've never colored my hair hagatha...like my mom my hair hasn't grayed, but it has thinned out...just have a couple of stray grey hairs! I am lucky.

Have a great day!

Gerry

Good Thursday morning Gerry Hagatha OldBroad Marian and all visitors who pop in for coffee and treats. I brought a box of mixed Krispy Kreme donuts this morning to go with Gerry's Double dark Wide Awake brew...enjoy. Off to the dentist this morning and then a movie this afternoon ... part 2 of Dune. Have a wonderful day everone.

Good Thursday morning! Already made a trip in town this morning. One of the cats has not been feeling well and yesterday puked at least 8 times. I just dropped her off at the vet's office for them to look at her between appointments.

This afternoon I have an appointment at the hearing center for new hearing aids. The last UAW - United Auto Workers Union for those of you not familiar! - contract included hearing aids. I will have to pay a little extra for the top of the line ones, but I paid over $2000 each for my old ones! I really only use one in my nearly deaf right ear. They even did an MRI to rule out a tumor. But they figured out it's nerve damage caused by an extremely high fever when I was little. I had the measles and was so sick the Dr. actually came to the house. That was before the measles vaccine.

Then league bowling tonight!

Can't wait to hear what you think of Dune 2, soot! I just watched Dune 1 on Max. I read all the books a very long time ago.

No grey hair here either - I think it's genetic. I can remember someone asking my 70+-year-old grandfather if he dyed his hair because they were so puzzled that he had no grey hair. Dyeing his hair was about the last thing you ever would have found my grandfather doing, so we all thought that question was pretty hilarious.

I hope your kitty is okay, Drac!

Happy Thursday to all! A nice spring day here but rain is forecast for the weekend.

We've all gone grey differently in my family. My mother's hair was mostly jet-black until she was well into her 80's. Her mother, a redhead, dyed her hair Lucille Ball red until her death at 90. My older sister is almost completely grey.

A friend of mine stopped colouring her hair during COVID and looks absolutely stunning with her pure white hair; she never wore makeup before but now she wears a Chanel red lipstick and is quite the bombshell at 72 years old.

Happy Thursday all!

I don't think that, looking at me, you'd say I have grey hair, but my hair is thinning and most of the ones that fall out ARE white. Maybe I'M just not seeing grey hair when I look at myself in the mirror - you know still seeing myself as younger or something. I have not had my hair cut at a salon for around six years now. I just take my kiddie scissors (round tip) and cut some on each side and I'm done. I know there is a section in back that is longer but I don't really care. Nobody sees me and if they do, I still don't care! One of my grandmothers had red hair but thinking back, I think it might have been a wig. I was never good at knowing that kind of stuff.

Hope you all enjoy your day!

I envy older women with beautiful white, silver or gray hair. In all my years, I've never colored my hair - too lazy to keep up with it! But my color change is sort of a yucky gray brown color. But like oldbroad, I just kinda don't care! I do have to go to a salon to get my hair cut as it is straight as a paintbrush and since I work outside a lot in the summer could never stand it hanging in my eyes and sticking to my neck. It's still super thick, so is a real PITA in the summer!

Maybe it's all the brain cells we have used in gaming that makes us not go grey! I am the only one of my friends who has not gone grey except for a tiny splash right in the front that got there in my late 30's. 35 years later no difference!

Good Morning everyone and Welcome to Friday! Double dark Wide Awake brew is ready to start your day!

Soot I love crispy creme donuts! Draclvr how is your kitty doing? Oldbroad my hair is thinning too...getting "baby fine".

Hope you all enjoy your day!

Gerry

Good morning to T.G.I.F. Friday! I believe I'm losing more hair than it turning gray The coffee is wonderful this morning Gerry...and I brought another box of Krispy Kreme donuts this morning for you and the gang to enjoy. Draclvr, we didn't make it to the movie yesterday and not sure when we will but am very confident I will 'totally' enjoy it as I am a big Dune fan and enjoy the movie versions/interpretation of Herbert's Dune. Drac, Marian, Hagatha, OldBroad, Ana, Gerry and all who follow...have a wonderful day!!

Today is another vet day, with Dude going in for his outdoor shots and to pick up some flea prevention. Willow goes in for the same next week. Otherwise, it's raining and I think I'll do some gaming. I've been jumping from one game to another lately; can't seem to find one that's just right at the moment.

Good Friday afternoon! Missed Gerry's coffee this morning as I had to run in town to pick up kitty. She has pretty significant kidney issues and after over $600, was sent home with two meds and yet another special kidney food which cost $57 for an 8 pound bag! I'm not positive how old she is because she was a feral stray who showed up pregnant one winter. Best guess is that she is 8 - 9 years old which is pretty young for this level of kidney issues. She's feeling better and has already eaten a small can of the new food along with one dose of meds.

Wish it was a little warmer... tomorrow is our first Wagon Days event at the horse rescue. Almost 300 people have expressed interest, so I hope I'm not the only volunteer down there like I was last year! Going to be a chilly day outside all day!

Kitty is lucky to have you, Drac!

Wishing everyone a pleasant Friday and an enjoyable weekend.

Well all the best with your cat care, Draclvr, and for your stint on "Wagon Day".

[I remember you being the only one last year ]

Good Friday afternoon! It is snowing here. So much for !

Draclvr, glad the kitty is doing better.

When I think about how much I've spent on my cats in the past year... Especially Dude's surgery. But they're worth it.

Same here, hagatha! I have a feeling we are just going to be delaying the inevitable with the kidney issues with Mama Kitty though.

My Moggy, my first cat, lived for 1 1/2 years with advanced kidney disease. I had to give her Ringer's solution every night. She was diabetic for 4 years, too. She was such a good girl; took it all in stride. She lived until she was 18 years old, almost 19.

Good Morning and Welcome to Saturday! Double Dark brew is ready.

Hagatha and Draclvr those vet bills get expensive! I have had many cats and a couple horses over the years and spent a lot of money on vet bills, but wouldn't have it any other way. They all were loved and got the care they deserved...all my creatures were a comfort and a joy to have around.

Draclvr you have taken good care of mama cat and given her a happy life. Hagatha, Duke and Willow have enriched your life as you have theirs.

It will be a rainy day all day today...a good day for gaming and indoor projects. May even watch some figuring skating this afternoon on USA channel.

Have a Peaceful Day!

Gerry

Good morning everyone and see spring starting in fits and starts... some warm days punctuated with rain and others with winter's remnants of snow. Yes, the vet bills get expensive but like you Gerry we wouldn't have it any other way when it comes to the care of our companions. The double dark brew is marvelous this morning Gerry...thank you. We had a rainy evening but think we'll be dry now for a day of two with 'sunshine' this afternoon. Draclvr, we had to delay our Dune 2 movie session to "possibly today" due to illness. Will let you know when we make it...I've seen the trailers and I am excited for the theater experience! Take care all and have a wonderful Saturday.

We're back into fairly heavy rain. Dude is undaunted and has scarpered off somewhere. He'll come home soaked and complaining in about 2 hours.

I had Willow weighed yesterday and she is going to have to go on a diet. Though she's always been a big cat, very tall and very long, she's hit 15 lbs. and that's just too much. She's addicted to the dry food our Campbell River vet insisted she should eat, plus when John died she started stress eating and becoming very noisy, very early in the morning with food demands. Hopefully this new vet has some suggestions. Willow is a cheery girl most of the time, but she is just too fat.

It'll be a quick trip out to the store today for some food and milk, and then on to gaming!.

Good Morning/afternoon everyone. Thanks for the coffee. Always tasty and helpful.
No pets for me but the other day it rained cats and dog over here.
Today somewhat sunny again.

Happy Saturday GameBoomers
