Good morning brothers and sisters!

Mostly cloudy here today, starting at 34F and predicted to reach 43F.

I turned the sprinklers and outside water off yesterday and drained the lines given how close it is getting to freezing in the morning.

The !@#$%^&*()_+_)(*&^%$#@! who sets off loud fireworks at midnight is back and after I got Miss Layla calmed back down, they did it again at midnight thirty. Would love to lay hands on them to show my appreciation.....

Gym this morning, followed by our first dawg walk and then breakfast at the Cadilliac Cafe with Grayfox and NM.

I’m sorry to hear that things are so dark and gloomy and Cat. When my Linda died nine years ago, I dated a couple times but I just didn’t have any desire to do that. I’ve been alone since she’s past, but I’ve done the best I can to make my life much more enjoyable place. First and foremost I have my boys, which is the most important thing to me. I am very lucky where my best friend shares his very large family with me on all the holidays, I would highly encourage you to reach out and adopt a pet. I promise you you won’t regret it because animals give 100% of themselves 100% of the time I feel a little bloated because I ate a lot but I didn’t eat too much this year. I hope you folks all had a great holiday with people that you love. I’m getting ready to hit the sack, but I got to give the boys their loving first.

There it is, folks: the hardcase bastage who, like all genuine hardcase bastages, is all gooey inside.

I am in an incredibly good mood!!

Yesterday was wonderful, and I managed to cross off something on my Bucket List that I had never been able to do until I put my hand on my DIL's tummy and felt my great-granddaughter move. I had never been successful in feeling a baby move, even with my own two sons. Brought tears to my eyes.

I am the first living great-grandfather in the history of my Family back to 1605. Fourteen generations.

I pointed out that tummy wiggle had just about filled out my Bucket List, and I'd done it all.


This morning found a present left from my two sons. It is a folded piece of paper with a header:

To Do List​

Here is what they wrote:

1. Conquer France

2. Fix Warp Drive

3. Define God

4. Restart Big Bang

5. Travel Back In Time

6. Remember How To Fly When Awake

I have two of the finest -- and most completely different -- sons. One is a grandfather-to-be, a National Judo Champion and a holder of Black Belts in Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, and Kendo, the other is an upper-tier doctor of the kind you will never see again.

Secretly, I have tried #6.

Congratulations most honorable elder brothersan! My ancestors have been short lived as well.

Hee, hee, hee, 18 months experience suggests that you will find your great grandchild the center of attention at all the family gatherings, including your anniversary, birthday and Father's Day.

They will be exceptionally bright and a quick study, as well as pretty to look at.

If it is a female, they will be drawn to you, and you will develop a special relationship with them that the women present will laugh and talk about.

They will have lots of toys and get lots of attention.

I've made a decision, I've started to implement: I don't think it's appropriate to leave my 'laughing' emoji on posts that mention death. Even sickness/pain gives me pause.
SO, I will refrain from replying with any emoji to those posts.

Maybe use the sad emoji!

@Gypsy Nirvana, sometimes when your heart reaches out to a brother or sister in pain, an empathy emoji feels more appropriate than like, laugh, love, or sad. Wish we had one for our type of old fart dialog.

It feels like maybe they need hugs more than others sharing their pain.

6. Remember How To Fly When Awake

Like with airplanes, altitude is important when flying while awake.

Oh I know what you're saying and I didn't really get this depressed until after the last of the cats me and my wife rescued and raised passed away. We has 6 at the height of things. We got together to late in life so we decided to have cats instead. Nothing against dogs but we started in an apartment and dogs just weren't a good fit at that time. Anyway the cats became like our children, or at least filled that same need and so we called them our furbabies. Unfortunately when my wife passed half the income we were living on vanished and even being just down to one cat at that point was a struggle. That cat "Patches" (a typical callico) made it to 22 years of age which is pretty old for a cat. In the end she developed some serious kidney issues and there was no way I could afford the treatment she would need especially since they couldn't guarentee that would save her. So I had her euthenized so she wouldn't suffer (which was very hard on me). After that I vowed to not take on another pet if I couldn't afford to provide any and all medical care it might need. Which is the same as saying never since I was struggling to be able to properly feed her and give her a clean litter box. As I said my only income is Social Security and with my wife now gone that means just approx. $1310.00 a month. With that I can afford all my bills and groceries and insurance, etc. but after I pay all my bills I am lucky if I have $5-$10 left over, which means, no pets, no dinning out, no going to the movies or bowling or any other social activities I'm interested in, no vacations and heaven help me if when my 2009 Kia breaks down and needs repairs. My only luxery in life is my cable tv/Internet and that's without any premium channels and just the smallest most basic cable channels package.
