Thanks

Hey there Mr Croixy man good to see you and everyone as well.
I"ve nearly caught up on a few recent posts. 

I'm sorry to hear your health hasn't been so good lately. I do wonder how you're going. 
Hopefully you're on the way back up. We need our Croixy man. You're well liked and cared about dear Walrus. 

Just to show you how nice it is to see you again I'm gifting you a majorly hard prezzy of .....NO EMOJIS...settle there crowd...it's really ok...I assure you it's only temporary. 

That's ok matey whenever you feel up to catching up just at your own pace.
 
Thanks for asking how we are...I'm getting back up slowly, quite a lots been/is going on. Each episode which are often, having some victories although still incredibly hard at times but always goods amidst so that's where we need to direct focus as much as possible eh. 

Hope you had a good rest and enjoyed your break apart from being crook poor man. 

Quirky I hope you're starting to pick up too. It's been a very harsh one for many hasn't it.

Moon it is hard still navigating to last posts. Hopefully it won't be too far off that it's all working easier here. 

Croixy did you notice how well we tidied up, you wouldn't even know we were here....those Penguins we hired sure know how to clean up. It was pretty cool (excuse the pun sorta) watching them turn the iceberg upside down to clear the mess...uh oh...oh wait...wasn't sposed to mention that part...delete...now where on earths that gone...

Often thoughts Mr, you're a good man, very appreciated I know by so many. 

Always best wishes for peace and better health. 

Cya .... hymmm....smiling face....thumbs up....smiley with tears going through withdrawals.

Well done, DB! I offer to massage your hands after all that extra typing.

[Grinning cat face with smiling eyes]

Surely, Croix, you must admit that this: "😸" is better than that text?

Lately it seems there are obstacles to push through, jump over, get around, burrow under, slide past, whatever, I can't seem to simply get to do what I want.

I realise I can't find where to cancel my account on that website where I was looking for support workers. I don't want my info up there for all time!

I did exactly what I tell other people not to do, before they know exactly how to unsubscibe, cancel account, & have some assurance they won't be keeping your info - before jumping right in, thinking they could have the solution you are looking for. I am so very annoyed at myself for that. [grumpy cat face growling]

Water bottles are filled, stacked up in the sun, so they don't freeze. I even removed 98% of the salt - so there's no excuse to not drink enough water.

See, how pretty penguins did such a great job? (Yes I trust DB's word). Can they please have extra unsalted anchovies on their pizzas?

I'm sure they will share with the cats, including me. 😺

Dear DB

I'm still not sure exactly what you have been going though though I really liked:

"having some victories although still incredibly hard at times but always goods amidst so that's where we need to direct focus as much as possible eh. "

because you always end up with a positive note, and that's catching:)

No, you should not have told me "watching them turn the iceberg upside down to clear the mess", still I had been wondering why I was rescuing all these waterlogged inebriated kiwis out of the sea -that explains it. I've been using mmMekitty's 's hair-drier and they come out fluff-dried (but still stagger around in circles).

Good to hear from you

Croix

Dear MK~

I think the internet gobbled up my post to you so I"m writing it again, if you see it twice, then yes, it regurgitated it.

I'm not sure I agree with you about emoticons, and appreciate DB's sterling efforts of self-restraint.

As I read them the images are too small and I have to revert to thier descriptions anyway (except penguins -sigh). Actually I prefer to rely upon my mind's eye - which not doubt gives a more flattering (or accurate) picture of you than emoji do :))

With that website where you were advertising -did you get what you wanted? Perhaps emailing admin@the website might help.

Have I missed something, you seem to have q preoccupation with salt at the moment? In any case I thought anchovies were simply blocks of salt wiht a small fish wrapped around.

Actually pizza sounds an excellent idea (yes, you can have some of mine if you convince me you are a poor starving puddy-tat)

Just being more conscious of things like salt, fat, sugar, water, fruit & veg, which meat, portions size, & the dreaded exercise. I want to get serious about my physical health, just thinking about all the things people who are overweight are at more risk of developing. My blood pressure is already high, & being controlled by antihypertensive meds.

I was weighed recently, & I'm heavier than I've ever been. I'm heavier than I was in January, before my surgery. I've got choices to make, & losing weight is the most important choice I have right now.

As for the unsalted anchovies, I was being silly. I'm actually a cat who does not like anchovies...salted or otherwise. 

Well, at least I know now that I had a hair drier, & where it went/is! To think, I've been drying myself the natural way - lying in the sun, daydreaming, snoozing, pretending to snooze, all along.. thinking I was enjoying myself, when I could have been blasting myself with hot air from a noisy device right up close to my ears! Oh, all the fun of complaining about it that I've missed... [pouting cat face; cat with wry smile; giggling cat]

Thanks Croix, I think I will, from this day forwards, write my emoji descriptions, including emojis not officially available. [grinning cat] This could be fun!

Dear mmMekitty~

Thank you for the sojourn into typed emoji with no pictorial equivalents- have a few much needed examples:

(Walrus looking hansom)

(Wallis looking muscular (dead ringer for Arnie)

(Walrus lookng intellectual)

(Walrus sweeping inebriated kiwis into corners) - bit hard in a round igloo

(Cat looking well behaved)

Croix

[Paw Prints]

(Cat looking well behaved) !!!  Definitely a mythical creature... my dear Mr Walrus you are letting your imagination run wild... I think you may be giddy from the breaths of all those inebriated kiwis

Paws 

[mmMekitty]

I know there is at least one on your list which will never be used!

[LRC Rolling On The Pool Table Laughing (ROTPTL)] No, these emojis we have do not include even one walnut... nor Walrus, handsome, harangued or catching mmMarshmallows on tusks, grooming whiskers, or wearing smoking jacket & cravat, playing with a toy pipe... We NEED all of these!

[Penguin pirouettes on Beakpoint]

[Enebriated Kiwis stagger, singing, 'Show me the way to go home...' through to the end & backwards, approximately in harmony]

[LRC sweeping last week's party under large rug]

[LRC looks sickeningly sweet & innocent] "No, really, that party never happened, honesty, it didn't, trust me"

[Sumo Cat evades hugzie]

[LRC turns to Croix, purring], "What about you?" [LRC offers hugzie]

[mmMekitty]

Hi Paws & Woofa ... yeah, Croix as well...

More emojis

[LRC with big belly], "that was dessert."

& one more: [Kibitzing clams], but I can't follow anything they are saying.

And one more from real life:)
