I have lived through three days of the most horrible kind of hell, and for the first time in about 51 years, I don't have a horse. My mare passed an hour and a half ago, and I was with her. She died i

Went to see the surgeon today... he says he is willing to try reattachment if I get through a complete MRI... he needs that first. He also informed me I had two tendons detached, not one, which really

Stumbled on this in a Twitter thread... https://metro.co.uk/2012/04/21/one-direction-in-chlamydia-scare-after-handling-koalas-down-under-397499/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

Australia... :facepalm: :lol: 

Considering the story is almost 13 years old, I'm sure the two boys (now men) should have got the result of their STI tests by now, and hopefully been given the all clear. :yes:

Those very last two words of the article, though... :gikkle:

"... hysterical girls" (and that was referring to NZ - not Oz) :rofl:

I've also read that 90% of koalas have chlamydia! :o

Cacahuète and Looping won't be a problem. Minion is a whole other story. He was born and spent the first months of his life outside and now spends like 3/4 of his days outside. Though usually when he's not in our house he's at the neighbors' and doesn't seem to go out of our dead end street. But he likes people.

We've never had problems with cats being poisoned in our neighborhood in the past and no new neighbors so I hope it's just that she went farther away and cross path with bad people. But who knows, I hope it's not some psycho hanging around.

Yep that is the safest way:yes: All my cats were indoor cats

I've tried, especially with Looping as he would spend a big part of his life at the apartment but at the house having a garden when it's summer... it was impossible

Have you called the la police sort:yes:

No, the neighbor told the owner of the cat and they've dealt with it. I don't know more. I've messaged the town administration whos in contact with the local police in case other cases are/have been reported.

View of Yosemite Falls

What I like about this is that, when I first looked at it a number of hours back it was just a black screen. Now I can see the waterfall, and the sun starting to illuminate the tops. Made me realise it's actually a live cam, and it was still night time the first time I looked. :)

I've had a busy 24 hours or so...

First there was the Microsoft Teams meeting yesterday afternoon (which actually went a lot better than the last time I tried using Teams). Then last night I was busy remotely supporting a new volunteer for a helpline that I am involved with.

I have spent most of today adjudicating a recorded Concern Schools Debate. Concern is an Irish based charity and international humanitarian organisation that 'strives for a world free from poverty, fear and oppression.' I have been involved, mainly in fundraising, with them since 2012, but also got involved in the schools debates in 2018. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19, the current round of debates are not actually being held in person in the schools, but the members of each of the two school teams are having to record videos of their speeches. They're currently in the knockout phase, and I received a link to the recordings of one of the debates yesterday afternoon, so have spent a good few hours today with headphones on, staring into a screen, and filling in marking and feedback sheets.  I've now scanned in those completed sheets and emailed them off to Concern, so can have a few hours to myself.

I was thinking of heading into the garden, but have decided that, as it's at least dry (if not all that warm or sunny), to take a walk within my 5 kilometre from home allowed limit, and see what's changed in the past week or so in my neighbourhood. I've an idea brewing in my head for a piece of Haiku, but need to see just what wild flowers are in bloom at the moment before deciding on the opening line for that piece of poetry...

Man this site is running slow slow slow😲

I can't find it at the moment, but I think @Myr made an "Announcement" a few days or so back about a problem with the site's host that may be causing the occasional slowdown... :unsure2:
