I take it she goes to a Catholic church. I grew up in an area where the Roman Catholic church was the predominant religion and I would say that just about every one of my friends’ mothers were just like Lila’s. Even to the “Are you wearing clean underwear? They don’t have any holes, do they?” prior to leaving the house every day. Jewish mothers do not have the corner on guilt trips! Thankfully, I grew up as neither Jewish or Catholic, although I would attend church with one of my besties every Saturday night.
My cats are my kids and I did step on a fresh, squishy hairball in the wee hours this morning on my way to the bathroom. Thanks Freyja (could have been Kyrie or Luci but most likely Freyja).
I think success is not giving a rat’s patootie what your enemies are doing and just live your life as if they don’t exist, that and only going to the bathroom once in the middle of the night.
Quite a bit. It is about 1450km from Dallas, TX to my house and another 640km from Nuevo Laredo at the border and Dallas. In milage, that is around 1300 miles total. As they say in the South, “Tis a fur piece”.
I also have the cremains of 5 cats. I keep them on the mantle with a picture of each of the kitties by the urn.
