Some goodies at the first one tho?

Got that! Cats will play Morris if you don't have what they want. Had to
laugh, saw an ad for Purina (?) or Friskies (?), one of the two--with a
"research institute" for cats, trying the new 7 flavors cat food. I
guess no pickiness to those cats if they like all 7 flavors mixed
together in one bowl.

It depends on how close to pay day and the fullness of the freezer for
me, for meats and suchlike. Other, less or non perishable things, if
they're reasonable enough and the extra money is there. I'll grab right
away.

 RH> Yep - that or the pull tab.

Last cat we had knew the sound of the drawer where I kept the can
opener. She'd come running whenever I opened the drawer, even if it was
for something else.

It's not as well known as it would have been at one time. Then, too,
different churches have different ways of handling things so it helps to
know a number of ways to handle some situations. The church our
instructor is a member of, has a bereavement committee that comes into
the home with all kinds of paper goods (among other things) to help when
a member passes away. Our instructor had heard about that but saw it in
action when her husband passed away. Nice, not to have to worry about
things like paper plates, napkins, cups, etc.

 RH> Heating pads and foot rests maybe, but not name tags?

Some of us, yes, but had some younger folks as well. Preaching pastor is
only in his mid 30s.

We had the possibility of flurries this morning but Steve said he didn't
see any. Tonight is supposed to get into the low 20s, but clear. Last
night we had the remnants of a storm in the area.
