    I got a funky e-mail the other day from someone who claimed they recorded me (my desktop doesn’t even have a webcam built into it) doing something weird and that they needed bitcoin and if I didn’t pay my friends on Facebook (don’t have an account there) would see this magic video that didn’t exist. It was like an unhinged, cartoon villain rant. Glad Audie is doing better! ♥️

    I received an email 2 weeks ago, telling me that I had to pay 2 euros for my package to be delivered by GLS (I live in Sicily). I had ordered some sandals, but my bank declined the delivery payment. Then I remembered that there were no delivery charges and received my sandals without payment. Whew! Dodged that bullet! 😃

      @suemeonyoutube  6 месяцев назад +1

      I feel exactly the same way - sorry he got hurt, but happy that he's such a quick healer. Someone suggested that I use honey on his wound next time - and there will be a next time, no doubt about that - so when he licks it off, he'll only be getting some honey and not a tummy full of medication that's not designed to be taken internally. So the upside is we now have a much more sensible plan for next time. 😸

I came to terms with knowing she may end up a road fatality or hurt by misadventure. She was once attacked by another cat requiring veterinary care. One time lost for days. Of course she was desexed and a lovely kind savvy girl. I hope Audie stays safe. Thanks for your insightful thoughts and research🥰

      No, the fisher boy could not be saved. We had a lot of postal 'accidents' in that period - packages being thrown onto the pavement or down flights of stairs, trucks full of mail abandoned along the roadside for days or weeks on end... People were panicky, and nowhere was that more evident than in the US Postal Service. Of course, we were all just grateful they were no longer bringing Uzis into work with them and slaughtering their colleagues... 🙄

      And yes, he's gone after skunks, but he's never been sprayed. In general, cats are less likely to be sprayed than dogs - it seems to do with how they approach their prey, but I don't want to get too graphic about it... 😸🦨
