But pet psychics......years ago I had a booth at a Pet Fair of some sort which was next to the pet psychic's booth....It's as if those who wanted her opinion never thought that it might be better *not* to give her every piece of information about their pet before asking for a "psychic" communication....and then they listened in awe as they were told all sorts of things about their pet ...."How did she know that???"
Loved this, Marjie! You really should have said "You've got to be fucking kidding me." to The Guardian and then just popped a couple of M&Ms!! Keep up your fabulous writing!!!!!
All I could see in mind was that your boys and sphinx cats are all skin babies and absolutely nothing alike. Of course, I would call any of my animals my babies since I never gave birth to them. And I am not English enough to call anyone pet.
Loved another very funny and honest post, Marjie. I laughed aloud. You don’t hold back. Congratulations on being mentioned or featured in this major news outlets! They know what they’re up against and still reach out🤣.
This week you mention my other favorite tea, Bengal Spice. A couple of weeks ago it was Cinnamon Apple Spice. What good taste you have! These, actually, are the only two I drink with pleasure.
Oh, also instead of just wanting to be quoted I thought I should say I admire your infinite self restraint both in giving quotes and eating M&Ms instead of any hypothetical alternative.
Also, somewhere on the internet the discussion about what to call your pets was raging and I copied this quote. How beautiful is it?!
Kahu- someone entrusted with the safe keeping of something precious, guardian, protector, steward, beloved attendant,
Again, I am struck by a little bit of Wish I Was More Like Marjie syndrome as I have many many things to say that I feel the world would benefit from if only someone somewhere would quote me.
Or I became boss of the world.
(Or maybe just boss of nursing homes and bastard tradesmen…)
Also… maybe the internet should come with a supply of M&Ms!
Most of the time my cats are "the rascals." Now and again I use more colorful descriptors. "Fur Babies" doesn't sit well with me either.
Bengal Spice tea is an excellent choice for wintry weather. At least I can be confident in saying we almost never get snow here, unless you're at the tippy top of the highest foothills. Then you have about an hour of daylight to enjoy it before all of the people who live by the coast drive up into the "mountains" to stuff as much snow as they can into the backs of their pickup trucks because, "OMG! Snow!"
Some of these people are the same ones who will snarl up traffic on one of the most traveled back roads to park by a large lake and watch water flow over the dam at certain times of the year because, "OMG! Water!" I've lived in SoCal most of my life and I'm convinced some of my neighbors are just a little daft.
Yes! I love it.

Ps, sorry, I have again gone on at length.
