RIP Kenny Rogers

Sad news tonight, as Kenny Rogers, a country music legend and icon of my youth, passed away yesterday.  He was 81.

My Mom was a huge fan and Rogers' 8 track was ubiquitous in our flat. At some point early in my youth, well before I was ten, my parents took me to one of his concerts. I only remember a fleeting second of the show, but I'm glad I went.

I also remember the whole family going to see his movie SIX PACK in 1982. 

Anyway, rest in peace sir. You made many lives better with your music.

Spenser Confidential

Although nominally related to the books of the late great Robert B Parker,  SPENSER CONFIDENTIAL merely takes the names of some RBP characters,  changes everything about them, and tosses them into a standard issue action feature.

So A - Parker's family sucks for being such absolute sellouts and 

B - it ain't half bad

 Lol I love the at home humor that keeps popping up. Refreshing! - Lisa

Visiting The Vet Mid-Quarantine

I took Huckleberry to the vet for a follow-up today and dealt with the oddest consequence of the Corona quarantine to date.

I was prohibited from entering the building, as were all owners. Once in the parking lot I had to call the vet and notify them I was there. After a few minutes someone came out and removed Huck from the car and took him in for shots he may or may not have actually received, since I didnt see them administered. 

The clerk then called my phone and collected payment, and subsequently walked Huck out.

Just nutty.

I agree

Baseline protection and resources for all, but I agree - triage what resources we have and steer it to the places most affected. 

Ideas?

 Huck needs his nails trimmed... [but with Covid quarantine in place] any ideas for right now? - Lisa 

 Still not accurate but closest I’ve seen - Lisa

 LOL - Lisa

 I’d donate if I could, maybe you can... Lisa

Tactical Advice

 Sometimes, when you know it will dig into their childhood insecurities, merely respond to an oppositional post with nothing more than a correction of their grammar. Say nothing of the point they made. Forty replies later, each telling you "it doesn't matter, jerk," you OWN THEIR SOUL.

Movie Theaters Adjust to Covid

It's become increasingly easy to see who's an a#hole on FB - just look for the idiot that considers preventive measures a waste unless - presumably by failing horribly- they go hand in hand with thousands of dead Americans. #HopeURFirst

Cancelled

Cancelled! #DamnYouCorona

 Pretty much! - Lisa

Another Disappointment Due to Covid

LuLu was a contender for a surgical internship this summer. She did a lot of work towards this and it was looking very promising. It has just been cancelled, understandably. Just wanted to share because I know many families are missing out on things right now, and I wanted you to know you are not alone. Disappointments are a part of life and right now those disappointments are plentiful. Stay well. - Lisa

 Apparently Huck has gained 12 pounds in the last month! - Lisa

Stop the Shaming

 I’m never going to feel compelled to explain to anyone why we purchase what we purchase. Last I heard you aren’t paying our mortgage. Stop the shaming and mind your own fucking business.

there are plenty of memes and posts going around shaming ppl for buying this or that. Now that restaurants are closing and stores cleared out I’m glad I listened immediately to the advice I received and ignored the others. My pets, my household members and extended family have what they need.

i only regret not buying a few things. My mom needs distilled water for her ccap. That didn’t even occur to me.  - Lisa
