Soodle

Peri, I was thinking of you & Zoe-Anne today. My daughter got bad news about her beloved cat, Dora. She hasn't stopped crying all day. He's not dead, but at age 16, he's been diagnosed with heart failure, severe anaemia & kidney failure. It's heartbreaking

4:07 pm

periwinkle

I am so sorry to read this Soodle.

4:07 pm

periwinkle

thank you for remembering Zoe-Anee.

4:08 pm

periwinkle

Zoe-Anne even

4:08 pm

Soodle

I knew you would understand, Peri...

4:08 pm

periwinkle

I do. It is very difficult when a beloved pet is failing

4:22 pm

wht

Fireworks. This was a friendlier grid than some of the ones we have had lately.

4:23 pm

hokie carla

was about to disagree but I haven't finished the last few

4:23 pm

Soodle

This is a madhouse this evening. One offspring grieving the impending demise of a beloved pet & another offspring, (the oft referred to Son of Soodle) home from the UK for a stag party, sans wife & kids, drunk as a Lord, pointing out all the jobs that need doing around the house. Sheesh. And they wonder why I guzzle wine.

4:23 pm

hokie carla

and well done

4:24 pm

Soodle

Well done wht.

4:24 pm

hokie carla

ha, soodle! hope you have enough wine.

4:24 pm

hokie carla

and I assume a stag party is what we call a bachelor party. I've seen it before on UK reddit and from context that's what it seemed like.

4:25 pm

Soodle

Carla. There isn't enough wine in the world. 😕

4:25 pm

wht

Soodle, make sure Son of Soodle keeps away from your wine.

4:26 pm

wht

And if there is so much to do, maybe you can suggest that he does some of it.

4:26 pm

wht

Although, in his condition, his help might just make more work. :^)

4:28 pm

Soodle

Yes Carla. A stag party is a bachelor party. And by heavens, wht, Mom's wine is totally out of bounds for the offspring. If they are old enough to drink it, they are old enough to buy it.

4:28 pm

periwinkle

28 left. bbl

4:30 pm

hokie carla

30 here. if I could get in the 20s I might list.

4:32 pm

Do you need any clues, hokie?

4:32 pm

hokie carla

not that I know of, but thanks

4:34 pm

wht

I am off. (people have been telling me this for years.) Happy Babbling.

4:34 pm

hokie carla

bye!

4:41 pm

Soodle

Bye wht 🤗
