Am I missing the point here? There was a BIG HURRICANE that crossed over Mexico and then changed to heavy rain and wind, moving across Texas and heading to the east coast. I've watched several news stories and all they talk about is the rain falling on already flooded and rainy east coast. Well what about the poor folks in Mexico that just lived through a HURRICANE? Nothing at all is being reported about what happened to Mexico.
How bad was it in Mexico. I hope everybody is okay.

You know how you always say that your clothes drier eats socks? Well for a week or so I was thinking my clothes drier ate one of my pink socks. This a.m. I picked up dog poop:

I had no idea Misty ate cloth.


Thanks, Kathy.
Thank goodness it came out. I have a friend whose dog had to have surgery to get socks removed.

I don’t think it went over Mexico, it went across Gulf of Mexico and over an area called Mexico Beach which is in Texas.
I don't know if there's (another, different) Mexico Beach in Texas, but Hurricane Michael DEMOLISHED Mexico Beach in the Florida Panhandle.

Many of the buildings, especially homes, in Mexico Beach, FL dated back to the mid-1900s. Major improvements in our building codes happened after Hurricane Andrew (1992) and Charlie-Francis-Ivan-Jeanne (2004), followed by Dennis-Katrina-Rita-Wilma (2005). Then we went 10 years without a major hurricane and got out if practice.

Now you know !:D:D I can try to make a huge collage of their pics.:rolleyes:
I have had more than 30 cats but now they are getting old and die one after another. My oldest is 18 years old but very healthy. In the past I gave a lot of stray cats and their kiddies a home but now when I am getting older too I don`t take new cats. I don`t want that they overlive me. There will be no one that could look after them when I am dead.
I am impressed. :D

I am good thanks. It was a busy day today. How did your day go today?

I went to lunch with a friend and former colleague who is going through a rough divorce. I knew there was domestic abuse involved, but what came out today was far worse. Things are finally moving in the right direction for her, so it was good to see her looking a bit better despite the difficulties awaiting her in the future.

We did manage to have a giggle as well :)

Glad you had a good time. I am so sorry your friend was in that kind of situation. At least she is out of it now and has good friends like you who can give her a giggle or two.

Oh Misty! That is so not good for you? Can you stop worrying Yvonne please?!
No worry. . . I thought the drier ate it. When I shoveled up that poop and noticed something pink inside, I used the shovel to break apart the poop. Amazing how clean the sock is. Almost like it was never mixed with the poop inside the dog.

Sorry, I meant Florida.

Poor friend. Is this the same lady who’s husband left her while she had cancer or some illness?

LOL! Yeah, right. She gets her full share of dry dog food mixed with canned dog food and water and then sits in front of me while I'm eating lunch, waiting to lick my plate. And because of the soulful look on her face and the drool hanging out each side of her mouth, I usually leave her a few bites along with the plate licking. She's one of those dogs that eats and loves to eat! Not picky at all. (and never gets full)

It’s been a long morning here.

Took one kid to the doctor for fever, body aches etc then get a text from the other that his eye hurts and swollen.
So I took one kid home, grabbed the other from from school for his appt. Got both lunch from different places, grabbed both their meds and came home with wrong hamburger my daughter wanted and no sauce for her fries! I’m the worst mom ever.
So I went outside and talked to my husband who’s in China. He was up at 3am bored.
I’m still calm just tired.
