The US stopped producing fabric domestically partly because of international price competition and partly because the process is highly polluting. Wealthy countries are appropriately reluctant to permit factories to dump dyestuffs, finishing chemicals (including formaldehyde) and other pollutants into their rivers and groundwater. Poorer countries are oftne less persnickety about pollution, minimum wage, safety standards, child labor and so forth.

A good explanation why a great deal of manufacturing is moved overseas. Sad but true.
 

Hoping for a quiet restful day taking care of Buffy. She was released to us last night, wearing a cone with her right paw heavily bandaged. She has an oncologist who hasn't reviewed her case yet, but the vet says he is 99% positive tumor was malignant, and that this only usually happens to dogs, not cats. So, she was bumbling around, banging into things, all doped up and yes, son & I couldn't help but laugh, and that's what we have pets for, to laugh & enjoy. Max is staring at her from a distance and of course is his usual terrified self.

My only concern is that I am in charge of her medication needs and must squirt stuff into her mouth, and I hope for a little cooperation from her and hope I won't let her down, as I get all panicky lately. She has another vet appt. tomorrow.

I love these 2 kids, we're all three getting old together.

I know NOTHING about cats.

Joey had two cats but I did not interact with them. Having said that I have watched a lot of nature shows about wild cats, mostly lions. One thing that struck me was when a lion was maimed, and looked different, it was rejected from the pact. Sometimes it was killed. I don’t know if this was “terrified” behavior on behalf of the other cats or sight behavior.

I guess my question is this some kind of inherited cat behavior? Did you ever do any research on the behavior? I have not seen this happen in my dogs. Cats must be mostly sight and dogs mostly smell. But idk.
 
I am fasting today. Had some IBS symptoms I need to address. Misa is working now, so I spend a lot of time alone and with our 2 cats. They are so interesting, and entertaining. Spend time on the SF and check out my youtube feed. Soak my feet because of ingrown big toe nails, and put tee tree oil on them, raise my legs above my head with my feet on a wall to get my blood circulating in my swollen ankles, and put my compression socks on. Take a walk outside this afternoon, and try to make sense of our world. :)

I HATE when I have to fast and only do it for medical reasons. Not being able to eat puts me in panic mode. I have gastroparesis, gastritis, IBS, and over intestinal issues. Every now and then I have to quit eating for 3 days and then have clear liquids for a few more days. 😡

I hope you feel better quickly.

Ordered KN95 masks from Amazon for Joey. Got brightly colored ones for him as he likes bright colors.

Make sure they are NOT from China. I was going to order some from Amazon, & they have a lot from China & higher priced white ones made in the USA N-95 Which all Drs say to get. Most masks with the K in front of the N are from China.

Am also sending this in a PM so you don't miss it.

Our pup has to have liquid meds twice a day and it's a massive understatement to say it was a huge hassle to get them down his throat. He hated DH & me for it.

We figured out a MUCH better way:

Before his morning and evening meal we stir his meds into a jar of Gerber Pureed Chicken & Gravy or Turkey & Gravy baby food.
We just hold him on a lap and he happily licks it out of the jar... keep turning the jar so he gets it all. He never turns his nose up at it and there's no trauma. A jar is less than 100 calories so he hasn't gained any weight. It's been a game-changer, no kidding. The worst part for him is that we wipe his face with a wet paper towel afterwards (he's very cat-like when it comes to water ;)).

The baby food costs $1.00 - $1.25 per jar, depending on where you get it. I buy it at Walmart.com or Amazon.com. If I can't get the variety pack I buy the flavors separately.

I make sure to always have at least ten days worth in my pantry because sometimes these can be difficult to buy on line.

We alternate the flavors so he doesn't tire of them.

Wishing you and Buffy the best!

For all of our dogs that had to have pills, we would either wrap the pill in part of a cheese slice & they took it with no problems. Or sometimes got cans of little weiners I forget the name & push the pill into them.

The liquid I would just grab them at the jawline & push open their mouths & squirt the medicine way back on the tongue. They started swolling then.

😂 they are fine coming from China and the supplies to make them here, come from China.
 
Well, so far today I haven't hit my husband over the head. (I've wanted to). He came across 2 large plastic bags filled with handbags and started complaining about how many bags I had. I told him how can I have all those bags when you are always telling me I'm cheap and never buy myself anything. I looked through the 2 bags and I knew right away they weren't mine. After checking them all I found notes in many of them proving they were my daughters. Some of them still had price tags on them and were never used.I guess when we moved 2 years ago they were ones she had before she got married and left them at our house.

He is going to her house today and he is bringing the bags. I told her if she doesn't need them she can donate them or give them away. To make up to me my husband bought me a new handbag. He paid $100.00 for it. Now I am madder at him. Thankfullly he is watching Politics on tv,and I am in a different room.
 
I 've enjoyed reading in this thread, about what all of you are doing, today. :)
I'm also enjoying looking at other SF threads and posts. I see that we are a creative and interesting group of people!;):LOL:(y):love:
We also do a lot of interacting, sharing, and thinking about each other, which is nice too. :)
 
Shopping online for a new cell phone. My 3G flip phone will soon be unusable according to Tracfone. I would like to find another compact flip phone but nothing yet. A full size smart phone is just too bulky for a shirt pocket and will have features I don't care about. Suggestions appreciated.
 
My Prince Among Men and I went for brunch at a local eatery; we arrived about three min. before 1100 and the waitress put lunch menus in front of us. I asked if they were still serving breakfast. She said officially they switched to lunch but as it was right on the line, the cook would be glad to make us breakfast 😁 So we had a lovely brunch. We left a large tip.

Not so happy about the cleaning service lady that was supposed to meet me at my house at 1pm to talk about things I'd like done. At 1:15 she hadn't showed, so I called. "I forgot." Hmmmm, well back to the old drawing board.

Now I am home in Americus, with a heating pad on my lower back. I remember I started a thread at one point about "things you've left behind" and along with umbrellas and sunglasses I can now add heating pads. There's one at my daughter's house in Minnesota, the one I just left at my legal residence and now I have a new one.

As most of you know, I have a lower back problem caused by herniated discs , and so have to have regular use of heat pads if I've been lifting anything much or standing in one place or driving too long.. I;d be lost without them .I've got the 'rucksack type'..which is one for the upper back with over shoulders straps to prevent it from slipping off, and is also great for the neck as well .. and I have 3 Long snake like ones which are the ones I generally use for my lower back.. never left any behind anywhere thankfully..
