Thursday 01-09-2016 – "Is this the Party to Whom I'm Speaking?"

Crossover pic –

PG I love the two wee ginger kits. Adorable.
Good night from the first day of Spring.

Good morning all! Love the “our ancestors had tails” pic!
ECB, you are right about the Andy Griffith show…subtly funny now that I’m older and it’s not just about Opey growing up, which is more what I connected to back in the day. Don Knotts is just hilarious in this show in a skillful, comedic way, and some of the other characters like Floyd…really know how to draw out a line and make me want to scream!! 😆

Our ancestors had tails…

Talk about stink eye – I saw this pic yesterday and ROTFLOL!

Hi everyone, is this the party to whom I am speaking? I wonder what Alexander Graham Bell would think of today’s phones, what with possessing everything that is known to man at the touch of a button.
“Ur call will be ignored in the order in which it wuz receeved.” Heh
I like the aggravated switchboard operator kitteh. Shenanigans is sometimes TDK’s middle name!
Minions on speedy dile is a hoot too!
I agree, ECB. I can’t imagine phone use on the Andy Griffith Show without the caller saying, “Sarah, get me…” Little Opie was so adorable in those early years too. I don’t think Barney ever used his one bullet. I like watching those shows for the décor too.
Oh PG, the stink eye – hubby got a big dose of that from Comet this morning. Comet is pretty much the happiest cat I have ever known, but this morning he was annoyed that hubby wanted to use the bathroom sink, the same sink he had settled in under a lightly opened faucet (he loves the water). After hearing some rather miffed meows, I went in, saw a major stink eye, and gently lifted him out and did my best to make him forget his problems. Comet is not a grudge holder, and was happily purring in my face within a minute.
Happy to see you AV, stay safe. My phone has been wearing itself out with weather alerts.
Ron Howard sure has led an extraordinary life. I still remember when he was on Saturday Night Live trying to establish himself as a grownup who writes and directs movies while Eddie Murphy kept referring to him as “Opie Cunningham”!
JK, thanks for posting the Lily Tomlin bit – Ernestine was a hoot for sure!
Well, happy September, TDKr’s. Although it’s been an uncomfortably hot summer, I’m sad to see it go. Time to let our So. Hem. friends thaw out.
It rained most of the night into this morning. I wound up binge-watching “Below Deck”, as I’d never seen the first season. I like watching stuff like that for the scenery and the beautiful 20 million dollar yacht. Could do without the drama, but then I suppose there would be no show!
It has dried out now and is cooler but still way humid. Comet has found a corner of the house that Mac doesn’t seem to know about, so Comet can have a peaceful nap without being harassed by Mac. Leela enjoyed mommy and me time until the evil vacuum came out.

Good morning all. It’s an odd day today, woke to find we were under a tsunami warning after a 7.1 quake of the coast. Didn’t feel a thing but it was at 4.37am. There have been many aftershocks since and I still haven’t felt any. Tsunami warning has now been cancelled although some areas did get 30cm/1 foot rise in water level. All part of living on the ring of fire and in the Shakey Isles I guess. Then had to take Mum’s old girl Snuggy to the vet as she has a very painful mouth. Vet doing kidney check on her first before deciding if he will remove any teefs.
May we have Healing Energy and Positive Vibes for Snuggy.
PG, OMG that stink eye pic is hilarious.
AV, is it just rain or are you getting winds too. Thank goodness for any lulls, time for it to drain away.
JJ, love the morning goings on in your bathroom between Comet and Mr JJ. Takes Mama to smooth things over.
I used to love watching The Andy Griffiths Show and as for the theme tune, it has to be one of the most memorable and whistle-able tunes around. I had an intense dislike of Don Knotts character though for some reason.
From Yesterdays Cafe – JK, good that Otto has shown up but not good that he was limping, hope he heals.
LOL at the bears and soft tacos. 😆
ECB on Emily and her yakkage. Aren’t cats wonderful. 😆 No shame. Our dog used to clean up her own barf and any cat yakkage. She was on it like a flash before we could stop her, and anything else that hit the floor. She lived to 18 years of age so it didn’t seem to harm her any. Pre-digested or pre-softened food is another way of looking at it.
What would Shadz name for me be. Oh maybe Angel because I nursed her through the cat flu as a 6-7 week old and then again maybe Magician because magically the door opens when she wants it to or food appears in her plate. Nah, who am I kidding – it’s probably ‘Hey staff”.
Oh I was asked last week if a student could sit in on my Dr appointment. I said it was fine as I didn’t think there would be anything too personal said or done. She looked to be about 18 but was a fourth year student so must have been a bit older.
Lagatta, check at hardware and supermarket stores for moth catching traps. Usually they are small tent like sticky traps you can either hang or sit on a flat surface. I think they have an attractant. They won’t be fool proof but you will be surprised at the number of moths that are caught. We must only see a tiny percentage of what is in our homes. Vacuum bags or air tight storage boxes would also help keep your clothing safe during the off season for wearing them. Do NOT use mothballs if you have cats, there is something that affects cats seriously in them.
YB, I am on the North Island east coast, beautiful place of sub tropical temps in Summer and mildish Winters although we do get to freezing.
I voted to retain our flag as the options didn’t really have the gravitas that a flag representing a nation should and also the entire referendum process was flawed and driven for the wrong reasons. Politics and politicians! ! !

It’s been a busy day as far as quakes go in my area although I haven’t felt any shaking. Did see light activity on top of Mum’s pool and my cuckoo clock weights have moved ever so slightly.
Positive Vibes for AV and ECB while Hermione hangs around.

Wow-I’m sorry you have such troubled times, Yuri.
