1:21 am
grannyrose
doing okay. talked with exercise physiologist this morning. decided to work on thighs and lower back muscles to see if that helps with lower back pain.
1:21 am
sprite
sounds good.
1:23 am
grannyrose
well now that the hip pain isn't there, we can focus on those muscles more. so going onto chair pedals and going to build up tolerance on them. also looking at working with ankle weights when doing hip exercises.
1:24 am

good and bad days. he forgot his pain meds this morning. had to take them latish as we were out. seems okay. but some mornings he can barely walk. we're still waiting for his acceptance for an aged care assessment, then he is going to physio/hydrotherapist.

We once kept ours in a crate for over two months after a serious back injury. Not a happy time for a shepherd mix.
9:05 am
SamanthaJoy
Is he crate bound, Bea, or leashed or what?
9:06 am
BzznBea
He is free to roam the house but the stairs are off limits. Has to go outside on leash.

9:38 am

I am convinced that some people who play this game read the dictionary
10:21 am

i still haven't found it
10:21 am
BzznBea
its a plant
10:22 am
hurshy
got it at last, with help from MW
10:22 am
hurshy
will have to try to remember it i guess
10:24 am
hurshy
speaking of plants, is rue a common plant that you can easily get at plant stores
10:25 am
hurshy
then how do people get it
10:27 am
BzznBea
They may purchase seeds from catalogs or given starts by someone who grows it.
10:27 am
hurshy
so if i don't know any people i should order seeds online
10:27 am
BzznBea
If they are using it medicinally, they may purchase the dried herb.
10:28 am
hurshy
what medicinal purpose does it have?
10:29 am
BzznBea
antibacterial and anti inflammatory
10:30 am
hurshy
well that sounds nice
10:30 am
BzznBea
If you plant it from seed, it needs cold stratification.
10:31 am
hurshy
and what in the name of all that is planty is cold stratification
10:33 am
BzznBea
Most seeds you can just plant in the ground when the soil is warm enough. Other plants need to be planted in the fall so they can go through a cold season. Then they will germinate.
10:34 am
BzznBea
What are you looking for?
10:34 am
hurshy
thank you very much for your knowledge
10:37 am
hurshy
well, there is a stray cat who comes around sometimes, and he absolutely ENRAGES my Opie when he does. and then he flips out and takes it out on Fritz. so i need to keep the stray away. i read various tips and one was sprinkling coffee grounds around, so my mom has been giving me hers and i've put them out weekly. at first it seemed effective but lately he's been around again and this last time was the very day after i put out the coffee grounds! planting rue was another idea, so i was thinking of trying that next, but now i am sad to know it won't be a potential help for a whole year, if i have to plant it in the fall and wait for it to grow
10:38 am
hurshy
one EXTREMELY HELPFUL TIP (sarcasm) was to close your blinds so your cat doesn't see the other cat outside. yeah right. have they MET any cats? cats go BEHIND THE BLINDS all the time.
10:39 am
hurshy
it's like whoever's idea it was to give cats the same bubblegum pink liquid amoxycillin you give kids. really bad call.
10:40 am
BzznBea
have you tried pheromones?
10:40 am
hurshy
no, all i've tried so far is the coffee grounds
10:40 am
KnightTime
get a have-a-heart trap, capture it, and take it to animal control
10:40 am
hurshy
the only pheromone products i'm familiar with are from like Feliway, meant to calm cats
10:41 am
BzznBea
Yes, that may help Opie.
10:42 am
Kaplan the Magne
We have a menacing Bengal in the neighborhood. He comes around and menaces my cats bu standing at the doorway. I have tried throwing water. His owner thinks that if she puts him on a leash and arranges a "playdate"- seriously- with my cats, they will all be friends. These are animals, not toddlers.
10:42 am
hurshy
idk if i can capture it... actually i don't even know for sure if it's still the same cat every time because i never see it now, it comes after dark and then runs away too fast for me to even catch a glimpse
10:43 am
hurshy
i found Feliway ineffective in the past for lesser things than this... i don't think it's strong enough to make a dent in the rage. i mean i've NEVER seen anything like the rage that Opie has. he literally wants to kill that other cat.
10:44 am
BzznBea
Another thought is to try deer repellant or liquid fence. The smell may keep them away.
10:44 am
hurshy
luckily i recognize the extremely weird yowl now so if i'm there, i grab opie as fast as i can and shut him in the bathroom
10:45 am
hurshy
MOSTLY lately i've grabbed him before he starts attacking Fritz, but this week Fritz was just right next to him so he got a slight attack
10:45 am
hurshy
yes, i should try liquid fence, my mom has sprayed that around anyway but not REGULARLY and often
10:46 am
hurshy
could be expensive tho... that's why i thought rue... might be most cost-effective for me
10:46 am
rururocks
I'm very cost effective actually
10:46 am
hurshy
but it's such a large area to try to cover around the whole edge of the deck and patio
10:47 am
hurshy
RUE not RU lol
10:47 am

good morning everyone -- and just what is wrong with cats?
10:50 am
moolingwa
hey hursh, nan
10:51 am
hurshy
what is wrong with a stray cat coming around outside my house is that it ENRAGES my Opie in a quite shocking way and then he takes it out on Fritz
10:51 am
hurshy
he REALLY hates that guy...
10:55 am
cybernan
oh -- mine just wants to get out to go after the quail that keep parading back and forth infront of "her'' window.
10:56 am

11:06 am
cybernan

11:06 am
hokie carla
haha
11:06 am
hokie carla
yes, both mean the same per the dictionary link
11:06 am
hurshy
it is not related to the latin pl 7, but it is related to the other 7, yes
11:06 am
hokie carla
the 8 is sometimes preceded by beta
11:07 am
cybernan
yes have the beta ca 7 but don't see an 8
11:07 am
hokie carla
found another 4, but these are hard to see
11:08 am
hokie carla
if you click the dict link it will show you the alt sp
11:08 am
