Fact a Day 2022 1 day, 3 hours ago 1/19-My Dad found this in the Old Farmer’s Almanac- The male ruffed grouse spend their lives within 300 yards of their drumming log.
-
Good morning! We all had a good nights sleep! Dad still feels very well and Mom does, too at least they have been mostly at home, as usual. Mom tried to prepare me for the strong possibility of her getting a positive test, she said that since dad has been it seems inevitable that she would have it. Are there many false
Positive tests, I wonder. Well it’s 44F here, going to get really chilly Thursday through Sunday. Continue to stay safe my furends!! And warm.
Positive thoughts for Cat’s mom, (she had her follow up X-rays regarding her pneumonia) and for Jake’s mom who is finally having the biopsy today. We all do care deeply for our furends and their pawrents and human families. 🧡🐾🐈https://www.inspiringquotes.com/inspiration/61c1ec1d5a465600079b1229
-
Paws crossed for clear xrays and for a good biopsy, and for a negative test for mom and for them to both to continue to feel well. -
Thank you. Prayers for your family.-
Prayers for Cat’s too.
-
-
We want a negative result, Chip. -
Prayers and purrs for all. I hope that your pawrents have negative tests. -
Sending purrayers
-
-
Hello my friends. Hope all is well with you. Mom just got her follow up chest x-ray to see if her pneumonia has cleared. We are especially thinking and praying for Jake’s mom today. Also prays that both of Chip’s parents are negative. Anyone else need puzzle pieces? Have a wonderful day and stay safe.
-
Thank you, Cat! Much appreciated! And we also have jake’s mom in our hearts this morning!she must be so worried! And also we are sending Purrayers, purrs, and love to your sweet mom!! 🧡🐾🐈
-
We’re purring for her and hope her test is okay.
-
-
Cat, I could use puzzle pieces if you still have them. Thanks.
-
Here’s hoping for a clear xray!
-
Thanks. Prayers for your mom too.
-
Praying that your mom has a clear xray.

In fact, healthy soil is considered a living system! There are more living organisms in 1 Tbsp of soil than there are People on Earth. Just think about it……wow.

I'm OK! 1 day, 16 hours ago We\’re okay. It\’s 71 degrees today and will be 21 degrees tomorrow. I\’s not been feeling so good the last few days and have hurled several times. But, I\’s spent lots of time in mommy\’s lap. Zebby is soooo jealous. MOL We\’re sending hugs and purrayers fur all.
-
That’s quite a a swing in temps. Oh no any thoughts from the vet?
-
Yep Cat, winters in the south. MOL Nothing new from the vet. We need to schedule more xrays and see what other tests he recommends. Per our email to you, our vet was on a conference call when mommy took Zebby in, so they didn’t get to see him. Mommy mentioned the test y’all had talked about to the “new” vet and she said that nothing could be diagnosed with that test. She recommended more xrays as well. So, unless we want to start all over with a new vet (and we wouldn’t have a clue who to go too, as our vet is supposed to be the best in the area), we kind of have to follow their recommendations for now. 🙁
-
-
I hope you feel better soon. XO
-
Thanky thanks Sammy.
-
-
Wow that is a huge swing in temperatures. I hope that you feel better RaenaBelle. We are sending purrs and prayers.
-
Yeah Andy, winter in the south. MOL Thanky thanks
-
-
I missed this yesterday, RaenaBelle. I hope you are Okey dokey!! Yes, weather in the South, even the Upper South (aka Kentucky!) is usually quite schizophrenic!!
-
Thanky thanks Chip
-
-
RaenaBelle I hope the vet finds the problem and you feel better soon. Barfing is not easy on the bod and it tastes horrible. POTP to you my friend.
-
Thanky thanks Shoko. it does taste nasty, especially when it’s all blood.

Hello Kitty Lovers 1 day, 17 hours ago Hi, all. Sad Chip here. I just left a note at \”I’m ok\”. Dad\’s test last week was
Positive. He just found out. Mom was negative a week ago. They are getting retested in the morning. They feel well. But Dad sure is looking pretty dismal right now. I’m looking forward to our dinner, but think I’ll take a go box, and head home and try to cheer Dad up. The treat tonight is just my world famous hot chocolate!. Bunks we’re done this morning. Have a great dinner. I’ll miss you all!!-
I am sorry that your dad tested positive. I hope that he is feeling well.
-
Oh no Chip. Hope they both test negative tomorrow.
-
We are praying for your dad Chip I sure hope it was a false positive!
-
I’ll help you prepare a take home box Chip, just take care of your dad!

I hope they both test negative tomorrow. You can go online now and order free test kits ( they don’t ship until the end of the month though). https://special.usps.com/testkits

-
I think I will start with a nice garden salad, thanks
-
Hi Andy so happy you could be with us! How is your weather this evening we have a frost warning tonight, We did last night too, but it only got dawn to 39
-
Mom and Ken are leaving for Jacksonville again! Mom is considering bringing her Amaryllis Bulb to your Dad z pete to plant in your yard! It stopped blooming so Mom cut off the defunct stalk!!
-
-
-
I would love to try pulled pork. My mom never makes that.
-
-
hi. I’m on my way to HKL, but thought I’d stop here first. Mom and Dad were tested last Wednesday. Thursday evening Mom got her results: negative. Dad didn’t get his. Mom has been asking him to find out! \”I will. I will. \”. He finally emailed and asked them TODAY, he got his results about an hour ago. . . He\’s positive. 🙀 and has been for at least six days!! Mom has scheduled another test for them in the morning. They were already at Molly’s for trivia and came back home. Mom will have to cancel her PT for Thursday. She might have her results Wednesday evening, but she will call in the morning and see if she shouldn’t probably just cancel. They both feel well. But Dad sure is dismal now.
-
He was positive and they did not bother to tell him right away. That is terrible! It is no wonder that it continues to spread, because people do not know that they have it. I really hope that the test was wrong, especially since he feels well. I will pray and purr for him.
-
Wow I hope they are both negative. I’m really glad he’s asymptomatic, goes to show that the vaccine really does work. I wish people would understand that it is just like the flu vaccine-you can still get it just not as bad and you can still pass it like the flu. We’ll pray for two negative tests.
-
Ugh! That’s such a frustrating situation to be in.
-
Bummer, Chip! Best to stay home and not expose or be exposed any longer.

Hello Kitty Lovers 1 day, 17 hours ago Okay Southwest Chickhen cut boneless skinless chicken breasts into bite sized pieces first then Mom follows Chef Gordon Ramsay his Slicing tge sides of Red, Yellow and Orange Bell Peppers then Mom chops these very fine and slicing only sides keeps out the seed pods! So then Mom heats extra virgin olive oil sautéing all the peppers and tge chicken until Chicken is cooked well ! then Mom adds frozen corn and cooks all until corn is well heated! Mom drains excess liquid! Then Mom adds Jasmine Minute rice about an entire box to Two large cans of Hunts diced tomatoes! Mom also adds two cans of Dark Red Kidney beans she drains and rinses well and this removes all the excess can of bean juice goo! So then adding these beans Mom stirs in the Chicken Peppers and corn mixture stirring it all up! If Rice needs still more liquid Mom add enough V8 juice! Mom seasons the chicken with a died poultry seasoning of dried onions and other spices such as Rosemary and Mom adds garlic salt eyeballing these amounts plus Lowrys seasoning salt and pepper too but not too much! Mom covers this full 9×23 pan with Aluminum foil and bakes at 350 degrees F until well heated and chicken more tender! Mom has to use Kosher Chicken for Ken!
