Kitty reminded me of my furry friend Tabitha, who discovered that she LOVED pastry - of any kind. Unfortunately she discovered this right after I had baked a blackberry pie with berries from our garden. They were small, and it took a lot of them. .... I was not a happy cat person and after that, any baked goods out of the oven, were shut away in the sun porch, and any from the bakery, went into a cupboard.
She never tried to eat any other people food! She was a calico with a pale brown muzzle so that she looked as if she had stuck her face in a cup of cafe aul lait.
for a brief shining moment i read 'she LOVED poetry' and i was off on an adventure with my poetry loving Maine Coon on a bike somewhere in the Berkshires. or Cotswalds.
She listened to me when I read poetry out loud....but then, she listened to me whenever I spoke, so probably not a poetry lover. Oh...that, and she was a tiny little calico.
My old cat Kokomo once delicately licked half the meringue topping from a lemon meringue pie without leaving so much as a tongue mark on the lemon filling beneath. I cut and served part of the other half.
I really wish I didn't have to work tomorrow. I understand why I have to work, and that I have to work, but at the same time I wish I didn't haae to go in there.
The good news is, I have five-cheese pork meatballs in the oven. Yes, it's past 10:30pm. I don't care. I wanted meatballs.
CBC: Video game giant Electronic Arts to be taken private in historic $55B buyout deal
Electronic Arts, maker of video games like Madden NFL, Battlefield and The Sims, is being acquired for $55 billion US, the biggest leveraged buyout attempt in history.
Under the terms of a deal announced on Monday, the private equity firm Silver Lake Partners, Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund PIF and Affinity Partners will pay the company's stockholders $210 per share. Affinity Partners is a private equity firm run by President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
Some guy running for local office ran into the Michigan shooter while canvassing last week.
When Burton City Council candidate Kris Johns heard that someone shot churchgoers and burned down the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Sept. 28 in nearby Grand Blanc, he said not once did he think it was the man he spoke to while canvassing less than a week prior who went on a tirade against the church and described Mormons as "the antichrist."
The man was outgoing, polite, and "extremely friendly," Johns said. And his animosity toward the church didn't seem violent, he said — “it was very much standard anti-LDS talking points that you would find on YouTube, TikTok, Facebook.”
The movie ‘Elysium’ has the best visual representation of what they can supposedly do, though why someone would watch that movie and have big Healthcare feels instead of wanting to tear down the Elite Billionaire Ruling Class is beyond me…
It is currently 10.49 on a Monday morning. I feel like I slept too much and yet not enough. I'm off work today and tomorrow, and yet I desperately want to do something beyond my eye appointment this afternoon. I'd go out for a late lunch or go do a little shopping if I could afford it.
I know I mention a want to go shopping a lot. I do love shopping, but my tastes are rather cheap. As in, you'd be surprised the haul I could walk away with if I had like fifty bucks. I love outlet stores and I especially love clearance sales and thrift stores. Hell, one of my favorite blouses was on clearance for three bucks when I bought it four months ago.
Hopefully when I get a new job--soon, I pray--I'll have some more disposable income. By which I mean I hope I'll have any disposable income. Being broke sucks.

Oh, wouldn't that have been wonderful!

I love the fantasy, especially in the Cotswolds.

Kitty is saying, 'don't mind if I do.'
And all I can think is, "That's the same paw she uses to bury her pee & poop."
I know it’s bad for them, but I would let kitty have all the cake.
Dainty, elegant kitty.
"Needz more mouse in it."
That isn't cream, I believe it's mouse foam. Culinary Foam is so trendy these days
I think I saw a mouse foamer on Amazon.
I had a cat that ate like that. Hopefully he washes his paws after using the litter box.
Cat eats cake one crumb at a time.
Attack of the Cake Kitty!
Demure, delicate frosting bandit. Ima gonna guess that Kit has had a go at cakes before...
had a male cat, that was the way he drank water
dip his paw into the water bowl and bring it up to his mouth
our mainecoon on the other hand would only drink from a running faucet

"Mmmm, the slight flavor of bird. Delicate, but delicious."
NOM NOM NOM
The cake is not a lie, it haz a flavour!
This is a triumph!
Such restraint from that lil' guy!
Sweet tooth kitteh!
Fun fact I picked up somewhere: cats do not have the ability to taste sweet. I suspect our kitty friend here is attracted to the cream.
Mine loves creamy icing.
Takes the cake…
Applause for that comment

I didn't know Hobby Lobby sold 24 karat gold paint.
I look at the Offal Office and say to myself "curses, foiled again!"
Not a big deal, but still...

But, Mormons are white.
Lest you doubt the veracity of such a statement:

And "delightsome"!
I’m still convinced the purpose of this gathering tomorrow is to make sure all of the military’s top brass know whose ass they need to kiss.
If they try to strong-arm them, they may be in for a surprise.
These aren't Republican congressmen.
Nobody ever said Secretary Shitfaced was smart.
Why does AI Trump sound more human than "human" Trump?
Because AI cannot impersonate anyone properly.
I wonder if their CEO is named Bob.

Oh, your ending vid, the rainbow song, oh so uplifting! I feel better now! Thanks!
I've seen the Aliens documentary series from Ridley Scott, so I know these med beds are incredible technology.
I've got one in the spare bedroom. Soros, you know.
Word is that these MEDBEDS are able to cure BONE SPURS! Perhaps the trump can become whole soon!

Maybe go to the library and shop books to read-it’s free and social…
I admit I haven’t been to the library in a while. I suddenly now have plans for Wednesday! (My days off got rearranged, and today is unpredictable)
Good call….📞
