    @BevYour Birthday Party was so much fun. Any chance you could persuade Stel to throw one once a week?Come on, you know you want to!

    @BevOMG we haveā€¦..umā€¦..had words about some of those very things! Especially the dinner thing, Iā€™ll ask and he will say ā€œanything is ofā€, so Iā€™ll make some weird thing and he will silently eat it and say ā€œGood dinnerā€. Drives me up the wall, 52 years of this! Arrrrrgh!

    Awā€¦ Dr. Binkums. the vet, says Red Chief was just taken away from his mother too youngā€¦.

    He just gnaws on things to calm his anxiety and soothe his feelings of abandonment.

    Stan loves Red Chief, and he was rather hoping that six years with him and Malvinaā€¦ six years of walks and treats and belly rubsā€¦. would be enough to erase those painful memoriesā€¦.

    But Dr. Binkums says to be patientā€¦. so he just buys more band-aids,

    Malvina said the other day that some vets donā€™t always make excuses for the dogā€¦.

    But Red Chief is so good about going to the vet, theyā€™d hate to switch..

    Past my bedtimeā€¦.

    Bev, I forgot to mention that you also apparently share a birthday with that famous GoComics star, Luann DeGrootā€¦.

    She turned 18 yesterday. Pretty historic, after being 16 for about 20 years.

    (Click for larger if you actually want to see it.)

    Gā€™night, allā€¦.

    I have just had a very bizarre thoughtā€¦ā€¦.. Blended Scotch whisky in milk with either maple syrup or caramel sauce. I need the name of the nearest psychotherapist..Either help me or let me patent the concept.

    Please! Nobody mention summer getting overā€¦ or use the word ā€œautumnā€ā€¦ till ALL my tomatoes have been harvestedā€¦. Theyā€™ve had a hard enough time with the California drought and this yearā€™s unusual weather pattern.

    September is usually my peak harvestā€¦ but theyā€™re sparseā€¦with a few plants still blooming hopefully, and others already dyingā€¦.

    I even cover their little ears when anybody mentions the equinox.

    LadyKatā€¦. sorry I always seem to leave just before you arriveā€¦.

    I think Iā€™ve explained before that Iā€™m up very very late in Californiaā€¦

    I often make my last post when the very early risers on the US East Coast are stumbling toward the coffeepot, and itā€™s easily time for elevenses in the British Isles.

    And for an hour or two before that, Iā€™m chatting the few night-owlsā€¦or with ā€™toonsā€¦ and shadowsā€¦ and Fenton.

    Bevā€¦ thanks for explaining to 2Oldā€¦I didnā€™t want to say anything and appear to take any creditā€¦but itā€™s very true that no single person throws a party hereā€¦itā€™s a concerted effort.Which you well know, cos when theyā€™re not for your birthday, you work so hard on them.

    We just fell into itā€¦cos we like it.But thereā€™s nothing official or sanctioned about it.It has sort of developed that Bev finds a large chunk ā€¦ and sometimes allā€¦ of the food and music for most of our partiesā€¦StelBel creates the invitationsā€¦My specialty, what with having a bakery AND a pie shop here in townā€¦is making the birthday cakesā€¦.Everyone is most welcome to helpā€¦ post food, music, virtual gifts, greetingsā€¦. or even do an event of your ownā€¦.itā€™s a free forum!

    SUSAN, thank you for explaining poor Red Chiefā€™s cruel childhood. Stan is a saint for letting RC soothe himself by gnawing on Stanā€™s legs and arms.Either that, or Stan should visit that nice man in the white coat- the other doctor with the big net and cool jacket that ties in the backā€¦

    BEV, you are wise not to ask for a weekly party. I donā€™t think STEL, X_TECH or SUSAN et al could take the pressure of out-doing themselves on a weekly basis, lolDang, but theyā€™re good!Catchy word, that. Dang, dang, the gangs all here.Gosh, I am sooo tired. Does it show?
