How do you react (really) if someone shares their fears or worries with you?
*tell them not to be silly & that it's not that bad
*listen & make the right noises
*offer doable solutions or advice
*ignore/change the subject

I have suffered from very swollen feet for the past 2 years...
We might not like her.... But stuff like that could be something that is not easy to cure
Dissing someone because they are not physically perfect... I dunno, hey...

It's not what people do - that makes them special - it's how they make you feel when they walk away... 🥰

Classic kitten trick: send out the smallest, cutest one to sucker someone in and then… BAM reveal that they need to adopt all 12 of ya. Works every time.
@ThatManDon
Swimming there would be like walking through the areas where lions are spotted in Kruger National Park. That is their territory... Not ours. To be respected...

I worked on the mag from 1988-1992...was Chief Sub-editor for most of that. You have no idea how much work went into choosing & vetting the jokes each month 😊
It was a fab place to work back then. Ace company. Great memories
@BorderAdventure
That happened to me last year... There is serious toxicity out there...
Because, obviously my Furries are in a terrible condition... 🙄
Such a waste of time and resources

And... How else are these folk supposed to get food? What if, from next week the transport system is not operating efficiently... How does one get to the store to get food?
We will be welcoming the

The best part of today, for me, was helping a girl out (at Gateway Spar) who had put her braai meat aside, as she couldn't afford that & her tub of ice-cream for Christmas Day.
I was just there to buy some chicken feet for the Furries
My pretty Chloe-Chloe has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge...
It was my honor and privilege that she chose me as Mommy Number Three five years ago...
Going to miss Little Bossy-Boots
💔💔💔💔
Such grace...🙈 🤣🙃😅🤭🤭🙃🙈
*on another note... I really like this camera making me look super-skinny*
Flip... If you can't laugh at yourself in sh*tty times... 🤭🙃🙈🙃🤭🙃🙈

Please join me in happy squeals!!!

Took a chance (cos dogs aren't allowed to run around off-lead) & double-checked there was nothing that Miss-Maddie could tear off after (cos, face it, at her speed I'd never be able to catch her if she did + the ears switch off 🙈)
& let Her Royal Pawness do a crazy-happy Zoomie
Who remembers the 1976 TV Mini Series, Rich Man, Poor Man starring Nick Nolte & William Smith ? Bill Smith who played Falconetti has just passed away at age 88....
Mom turns 91 today!
Bittersweet though... As,
A) She's living 1000 miles away and has senile dementia (lovingly cared for in her retirement complex where she's lived for 26 years)
B) Is profoundly deaf so wouldn't be able to hear me in a phone call
...So can't wish her well 😢
Thank you to all of you who have taken time out to acknowledge The Smudge's crossing over the Rainbow Bridge. I still can't believe my darling Boy is gone... We are missing him terribly...💔💔💔
*our last pic together... 😢
A long car trip... So much Friday traffic... But we're home at last... Now to chill & sort out new routines between upstairs and downstairs...
It's been 11 weeks! Yay!

A neighbour who knows how much I love plants and gardening, selflessly and kindly left these bulbs by my gate today. Such a sweet gift and gesture, it's wonderful that people in our community is so caring. This totally made my day and will look so beautiful in the garden. 😊💚🌿
Merly just sent a video of my Mom
And...
The end-circle of life just sucks...
Am I a very bad person for wishing my mom could just slip away quietly and peacefully?
She's profoundly deaf, has senile dementia, is terribly frail...
What quality of life is that?
Am I a bad person?
@lifeonfourpaws
Oh no!!! Hope you recover soon... Scary... Only Real DoggyMoms understand how we'll throw ourselves in front of any danger to protect the Furries... 😥
So cool to have a catch-up with a very special lady who for 9 Saturdays out of 11 would drive all the way from Queensburgh (south of Durbz) to pick me up, take me up to Hillcrest to see Monty (after his spinal op 4-&-a-half yrs ago) & bring me home, before heading south again...
So guys. Listen up... Stop being bullies (no matter what your opinions are on

). Remember many are struggling. I've just heard of a woman who took her life today because she couldn't handle it any more.
@BrentLindeque
Shoowee, I can't even afford a takeaway, let alone a flight anywhere. Those "hairdressers" couldn't have been doing too badly to start off with. There are many just struggling to pay lights, water & put food on the table 🤐🙄😶😒
Collected rainwater last night...🌧️
Washed my hair with it this morning...🚿
So much of grey...🙈
So, anyway, kiddos... This is what 'Closer-to-60-than-50' looks like 🙃

One of the drivers I met on a taxi was a 3rd-year Fine Arts student... Our convo started when I opened the cubby hole to get the change. There were some of his pencil portraits... I was blown away... He had to give up his studies to support his siblings. He also did clay busts
