PGP: U2, get yer well seasoned asses to the studio, enough with the holidays!

[dazzledbylight]

hi dg! glad it has worked out so well.

i'm getting stronger too week by week, even halk a week by half week!

Even went out in the nabe the day after a lot of walking getting into and leaving Met Life (Giants) Stadium for Brruce the night before with my 2nd pair of new sneakers,

I was able to even walk some downhill without using the cane! I can walk
level w/o it, and partly uphill w/o it too, though if I have heavyish package
i use it, have to get a straight cane the last i'll need for certasin places etc until i don't! hopefully in 4 - 6 weeks.

I've tho not what i wanted but b/c of waiting around for my Acess-a-Ride late car services i've basically stood for abut 3 hoiurs 2x's in last 3 weeks with just somer pain for a while later,. So good stamina & endurance increasing!

Good to hear things are going well for both of you, DGE and Dazz .

My cat found a new favourite location. Yesterday we caught her sitting on top of the radio amp. That has a fan if it gets too hot, so it's probably nice and warm up there. Now she's up there again. Just sitting there all day, looking outside.

Our cat in recent days has gone and sat in front of our door if she senses we're getting ready to go somewhere. Last weekend my mom and I were going to run an errand, and she sat in front of the door, and the other day I was getting ready to go to work, and then today my mom was getting ready, and both times she sat in front of the door. And she has this look on her face like she's actually thinking, "If I sit here, maybe they won't leave." I wonder how well it'd go over if I called my workplace one day and going, "Yeah, I can't come in today, my cat's in front of the door and won't let me out." .

Speaking of work, I'm tired. I just did a shift from 1 pm to 9 pm and my feet feel all achy now. And then I have to work tomorrow and Sunday, too. Blergh. Eh, well, at least I get out at 2:30 tomorrow and don't have to close either day this weekend, so woo for that.

That's cute! All my cats do is stare, and give an occasional greeting when I come in the door. I could swear that I have the most antisocial cats ever (most of the time anyway).

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Yeah, ours is awfully attached to us, it seems. If we've both been at work or gone longer than she seems to think is normal, when one or both of us come home we'll hear her meowing really loudly and sadly before we even get up the stairs. Then when we're home she's right at the door and follows us all over and won't stop meowing until we pet and pay attention to her. Course, she got left behind by the last people who owned her, so maybe she's still got some small fear that we'll do that to her one day, too (wouldn't dare even think of such a thing, of course, but an understandable concern).

Are yours male or female cats? 'Cause I've heard some people say female ones tend to be more affectionate than male ones, but I don't have enough experience with them and don't know how true that would be.

 

[Galeongirl]

That's a great excuse not to go to work!


My dad won't have it though, he keeps throwing her off the amp. Well, he's at work and she's sleeping on top of it again. Not gonna throw her off.

I have a female one, and she's VERY affectionate the last few years. Probably cause she's old, but it's really cute. She follows me around a lot, usually is in the same room I am, and at night she sleeps in my bed. Used to sleep at my feet, but since last week(it's getting colder and colder outside) she's lying right next to my side, usually as stretched out as I am. Almost like she's mirroring me.

 

[U2360]

Both of my cats are female. From what I've experienced (my last cat was a male) they're even worse than males!
It's so hard to believe that some people would just do stuff like that to an animal One of my cats will meow when she thinks she's alone, but for the most part they admire me from a distance, as long as they have someone to feed them, they're cool

 

[zuropa_fit]

Good morning thread. Anyone have fun weekend plans?

 

[TaraCynara]

I want another male cat.

I miss my Jamie still, but it's nowhere near as painful to think about as it was even last week.

aaaawww

have you been over in Lemonade Stand where there's a deicated thread for cat owners & people who like cats
it's fun!

i still remember visiting some friends of my dad- who'es 2 seal-point Siamese cats....
1 where shoot for the bedroom when we came through the door and the other snuggled around our necks (on counch) or on our laps the whole evening. I think they were from the same littler, but not sure.

 

[dazzledbylight]

a Wild sighting!

 

[U2360]

Very excited right now! I finally decided to fully check out Alanis Morissette's new album, mostly the song "Guardian" which I saw on some TV special. The music video has her with angel wings, looking over people. Reminded me of the video for "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)" (my tie for most favourite song). Apparently, it is a reference to Wim Wenders' "Wings of Desire", and it was filmed in Berlin. As I'm sure many of you know, Wim directed the Stay video, "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" video, and "The Million Dollar Hotel", and wrote/directed "Faraway, So Close!" along with "Until The End Of The World" (movie), AND "If God Will Send His Angels" was in his movie "City of Angels".
Being that Alanis was my absolute favourite artist before I really listened to U2, I think this is so awesome! I would (enter dramatic extreme here "faint", "die", etc.) if her and U2, or even just Bono, did something together. Their voices are just so big and unique, I'd love to hear that.
Just thought I'd share that

There is? Hmm... I would check it out, but I hear Larry doesn't like cats and I'm a tad bit scared of Larry...

Works for me !

Awww, silly cat. She has her spot and she's going to hang out there, damnit!

Used to sleep at my feet, but since last week(it's getting colder and colder outside) she's lying right next to my side, usually as stretched out as I am. Almost like she's mirroring me.

Ours does that, too, mostly with my mom. Though she doesn't mirror her so much, rather, somehow, by the time my mom wakes up in the morning, she's got one small part of the bed and somehow our cat has managed to stretch out and take up a whole bunch of space on the rest of the bed .

It's getting cold here, too. It's supposed to get slightly below freezing tonight, as a matter of fact. I'm tempted to go find a long-sleeved shirt to throw on over my T-shirt I'm wearing.

Both of my cats are female. From what I've experienced (my last cat was a male) they're even worse than males!

Hm. Must just depend on the cat itself, then, apparently. But yeah, luckily it doesn't take much to make your pet happy and comfortable. As long as they trust you that's the most important thing, anyway.

I know, I hate the fact that people do that to animals, too. I don't know if her owners were planning on returning anytime soon to help her get into a new home-if they were, they were sure taking their good sweet time. She was alone in a hot apartment (we found her in July of last year) with nothing but her food and water and one lone fan to blow cool air on her, and had been like that for a good number of days. Any longer and who knows what would've happened. That's horrible enough, if they weren't planning on coming back, then I'm even more disgusted with them. People who mistreat or abuse animals are amongst the lowest of the lowlife scum in my book.

to Tara, too. That'd be cool if you got another cat-hopefully one will come along for you someday soon.

I completely agree, well said.

Good morning thread. Anyone have fun weekend plans?

Just finished my fun weekend. Got home from Vegas today. We had so much fun. We just did whatever we wanted with no schedules to keep. It was great.

 

[TaraCynara]

Thanks, M_A. Maybe a little while after my dad's job starts, I might be able to...


Comet, glad you had fun.

 

[bonocomet]

We just rediscovered Rubio's (the fish taco restaurant). For years here (long ago) they made excellent fish tacos and take out Mexican food, mostly fish and shrimp tacos, burritos, etc. But over the last 5 or so years they steadily became more fast food commercialized, and the food went downhill until it became unedible crap. We hadn't gone there in forever. But only just recently they totally redid everything with all new menus and recipes and OMG. Absolutely delicious. So happy about the change. I'm not sure when the change took place but I know it's super recent. I'm pretty sure as of this summer the food was still crap.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Glad the restaurant changed back and you liked the food. And glad to hear you had a good time in general as well. Welcome back !

 

[bonocomet]

Thanks.

Still pretty quiet around here I see.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

*Crickets chirping, watches tumbleweed roll by*

Yeah, I'm just bored and bumming around on here off and on throughout the evening. And I don't have anything big to talk about aside from work, which I'm doing a lot of and which is not exciting .

What else did you do in Vegas?

 

[bonocomet]

Went to dinner, walked around and shopped, but mostly window shopped. OH I did get a cool glass though. In one shop they sold drinking glasses made from cut and polished liquor bottles. I actually found one made from the Product (RED) Belvedere Vodka bottle.

Also won 888 pennies at a penny slot machine. (No it didn't pay me out in pennies) I used the hotel fitness center and did my 1 hr, 4+ mile walk one day too.

Last night we spent at my brother's house who lives in Boulder City right outside Vegas. We sat around their pool and spa and drank margaritas and this other drink called Kinky which is a pink tropical vodka drink. omg it was good. (One of my daughters had a wee bit too much though and was a little, well mixed up afterward.) she took a shower after the spa and realized she was using dog shampoo.

Neat! Yeah, actual shopping is so tempting in a big city like that, I know...but window shopping is still fun, too.

Cool. How perfect they had a fitness center there for you to be able to use like that.

Also cool about the pennies, too, and wise that they pay you another way, 'cause, um, I can't even imagine carrying that many pennies .

My mom had a bit of luck like that when we went to Reno back in the '90s. She went to a casino and won 50 bucks, I think?

Ooh, hm, that does sound good, yeah. Wonder if I can find the ingredients for it where I live?

Awwwwww, oh, no! Eh, hey, those sorts of silly moments happen to everyone at some point.

 

[bonocomet]

My brother said they buy that drink at Walmart! It comes all ready to go in a bottle and it stands out cause it's very pink! It's a vodka, mixed with passion fruit and maybe mango? it was amaaaazin. We mixed it with a little lemon lime soda too and it was perfect.

I'm sure you can get it at a beverage store too like Bev-mo, but he said Walmart's cheaper. Look for Kinky.
