Something About Nothing ... #12

[wagman67]

Our neighbors' cat practically lives with us...sleeps over about 5 nights a week. Our 16yo cat passed a few years ago, and we did not want to get another immediately. A couple of years ago, the cat next door started to visit...and visit...and visit. He is not a litter box cat and let's us know when it's that time...never had an accident in our house. Went from an all black female to an all white male...both long hair and both shed like crazy.

When we are going out of town, we have to call the neighbor and ask if they can watch their cat while we are gone.

one of my sons was 5' 2" when he was a freshman in high school.
2 others were 5'3" at 14

but at age 19-20, they all had a growth spurt and are 5' 10" now

only 1 our of the 4 have big feet.
size 12

the other 3 wear either size 7 or size 8

Too funny Wag. My parents' neighbors decided to move, and left the cat to us. It lived to an old age of 22. Would walk with us down to the bus stop, and come to wait for the bus. It was mostly an outdoor cat too, but in winter, we saw more of him. Was a short haired, orange striped male. My house growing up was known to have a soft spot for pets.

Well, DS is 19, and I don't think he's going to be much taller. He is taller than his dad though, and his shoe size is also. He's 8 or 9, depending on the shoe or sneaker. He's got wide feet. Little one is almost 16, and a little bit taller than me, and her shoe size is also bigger than mine. Her feet too, are almost wide, so it's sometimes hard to find shoes that fit her, as the wide is too wide for her.

Went for a walk at lunch. Figured, the sun has been out all day, coat zipped up, and then had to put the hood up. It' now 46 out, but feels colder. Probably for the all the snow melting around making it feel cold. Can you tell, I'm ready for warmer weather?

 

[macraven]

little one taller than you?

that is not very tall as you are a shorty....

but a cute shorty you are!

yep, so poor TinyD is shorter than me and little one. Yep, she's about 2 inches taller than me. I hope we can all say hi to ya one of these days. Getting happy about October though. But booked a very early flight that Sunday, as darn SW has very few direct flights. Hey, at least I'll be at POP before lunch. Landing around 10am. You? Have you made your flight ressie yet? I think we are arriving the same day, October 1.

the day sw released their schedule i was there looking at it.

$245.xx from atlanta to orlando!!

i paid $130 last year for the same dates and better flight times....


so no, did not book flight yet.

last year there were almost all the flights as non stop.
this time around, less non stop flights.

don't want to drive as the parking costs would be over $300 for the stay
so even if SW rates go up, still would be cheaper to fly.

yup, we both arrive the same date

Both of my sons are about an inch taller than I am, which is 5' 8"...both are about 170 lbs...both reached that mark as freshmen (the youngest is still a freshman). I did not break 5' or 100 lbs until I was a sophomore. So, who knows.

 

[Monykalyn]

Mac- my husband graduated HS was 5'8". Grew several inches by time was 19-20, now 6'2". Oldest DD is same height as dad.
And MY mellow dog with the new babies. Typing on phone isn fun igive up

 

[macraven]

Now that is a fantastic picture!!

Doggie with a couple of chicks on his back

 

[Lynne G]

That dog is a good sport. See, chicks rule!

Just home from work and catching up...yes I worked til 9PM CDT. Tax season and all that. Happy birthday to Schumi's Aunt. I am not a cat owner so...what is "singing"? As for the height of my one and only son (I have mostly daughters)...it's a long story...I'll make it short.

My son was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency at the age of 9 and took human growth hormone shots for 2+ years to the tune of $4800 per month. We had a $10,000 deductible insurance policy. His body quit producing growth hormones but after a couple years, he was producing it on his own. No cause was ever determined. They call that "idiopathic" appropriately. We went to Mayo Clinic to a Pediatric Endocrinologist. He is now 26 and 5'7" but was tracking to be under 5' tall.

wagman67, that is hilarious about your neighbor's cat! Happy Spring Everyone!

And agavegirl will be up at the crack of dawn tomorrow and have another long day

But, I think she loves her job!

Wow that was some big expenses for the son's treatment, but well worth it

I have a nephew that went through that when he was about that age

He did reach to be 5' 3" and was thrilled it helped him

 

[schumigirl]

MonyK........that is the cutest picture!!!

I'm 5`7 on a good day Tom is 6`.......Kyle landed somewhere in the middle, he`s 5`9 and a half........I think at 23 that's him reached his full height. He`s happy with that......

Cold here today........chilly wind........

Good morning

It's my day off so naturally I awakened at the crack of dawn.

Speaking of height...I'm 5'2", my ex is 6'2" and Trey stands 6'3"...glad he took after his dad. Danielle is 5'7" so she didn't get the short gene either.

Guess I'll make a lot of coffee and enjoy my day

Always the way isn't it Vicki.......when you don't have to get up, something clicks in and..... "ping" you`re awake.....

Have a great day anyway............

Good Morning. It's a wet start to the day, but at least it feels warmer, as close to 40 already. Muggy, as the rain has stopped for the moment. Rain on and off all day, so that we get a cold, but clear and very windy Wednesday tomorrow.

But, today is Tuesday, so have a taco. We made steak burritos the other night. The steak on the grill that we used in them was delicious. Two, large, thick steaks, and not a piece left. Any tacos tonight will have chicken. Have to remind DS to take some out of the freezer, so I don't have to defrost as much. He gets home so much earlier than I do. Early morning classes this semester.

Well, little one did not want a 16 birthday party with the friends. Wanted a trip to the beach. Booked and paid for already. 4 nights and 5 days. Even earlier crack of dawn taking off flight than my October one, but we'll have plenty of time to drive to our hotel, about an hour and a half from the airport. I was kinda annoyed that the hotel was that far away, but little one did not think it was bad. Still trying to get that rental down more. Seems the 5 days we'll have it, is billed as a week. I'm glad that the airport that first had the rentals off site, but now, all the more recognizable ones are onsite, in one of the terminals. I hate having to factor in a rental shuttle. Had to do all the times we've flown into California.

Morning Vicki! Yep, after having to be up early for over 25 years now, even when I don't need to be up early, I tend to be. Even on vacation, though I have more late mornings after a few days.

Agavegirl, that's a long day. Hope you are having a shorter day today. Yep, tax season is upon us. Not only do we pay income taxes, we also have to pay property tax. April is our poor month. And now, since both kids worked last year, they have the joy of filing income tax forms too.

Schumi, hope your plumbing issue was resolved. Leaking pipe is not good.

Morning homies !!

 

[macraven]

I did see this morning the $245 sw flight from first day it was released is now at $327

Noticed this morning sw had another sale and checked it out

Thought sale prices are supposed to go down and not up
