Pick a couple of good names you like but don't be afraid to change them in a few weeks. Cats name themselves. I remember when we changed Smoky's name to Hobbes - he would pounce on us, was very playful and LOVED tuna so much he'd steal it right in front of us.

Yeah, they have what I think will turn out to be temporary names. My first cat when growing up named himself, in my and my sister's heads at least. We thought he peed a lot and was nuts. So we called him peanuts. Kids, huh??

I had a friend that named his dog Askem.  So when people would say "What's your dog's name?", he would just say "Askem" and people would.

Just as long as the corpse isn't earning any good behavior time off!

Corpses are timeless.

Having to bunk with a corpse should scare any inmate straight!  Brilliant strategy!

Sorry for your loss.

At a first glance, I thought this was the opening of a Monty Python sketch, something inbetween the Dead Bishop and the Dead Parrot. Too bad it wasn't funny.

So sorry to hear!  

Very sorry to hear this.  It's deeply unfortunate, but at least you now know.

ok, guess I'll show my age...I saw Star Wars at least twice at a Drive In...(not talking about Sonic, kids)

I remember going to the drive in's in the family's '74 Plymouth Fury 9 passenger wagon in lovely Sherwood Forest Green. We didn't see SW though. I did see ESB in 1980 at the mall cineplex with my older brother and cousin.

I remember being about 3 years old in '77 or '78, standing up in the back seat of my parents car while we were stopped at a red light (no car seat, no seat belt!), and wearing a cheap plastic Darth Vader mask and seeing the reactions of the people in other cars of people smiling at me being a cute little kid.

I don't think it's a good idea to mix'n'match these things. We do have a bit of a bizarre situation here, though. My wife had her first one a few weeks ago in a town some 20 minutes away. I had mine in another town some 15 minutes away. A friend, who lives just 5 minutes from where I got mine, had to travel to the one my wife got hers, which for him is 30 minutes away, today. The one my wife went to offers Astrazenica, while the one I went to gave the Pfizer. Me and my friend are of similar age, so it made little sense to send him on an hour's round trip when he could have gone to the one that was much closer.

All you lucky people who can actually get shots....

I'm registered to get a jab, but folks in my age bracket (early 50s) are not scheduled to get a first shot until at least May 1st.

Perhaps we should cook together something of our own. I understand that the source code is out there, how hard can it be?

I've kept a couple of "almost gone" Cats a little longer than I mebbe should have, as opposed to taking them to the Vet, it's just so hard to let go, I definitely understand.

We got a pair of Birmans when my kids were young, their "lifetime kittys", a Mother and Daughter.

The Mom aged out pretty recently, and the Daughter is still pretty despondant, I'd like to find her a gentle companion, she just seems very lonely.

Sorry, I hate to hear about yur Doggie.

We're actually thinking he might have twisted something in his back. He came running in, something went, causing him to fall over and have a seizure. He's had seizures before and always seemed to be after he'd done an injury to himself. If so, he may well have the same type of seizures my wife suffers from. But this one was his worst one yet. Going to take him to the vet tomorrow to see what they think.

Stories like this, plus experiences growing up with my mother's cats, is what convinced me that when I finally got my own cat, he was going to be 100% indoor.  

We're hoping that someone found him. But don't hold out much hope because of his problems. There was a story a few weeks ago about a cat that was found and returned to its owners almost 20 years after it disappeared as a two-year-old. The owners only had a couple of days with it because it had cancer. The owners were traced because the cat was chipped. The vet reckoned that someone had taken it in as a stray.

I'm so, so sorry to hear that. I hope that your cat is peaceful and contented, wherever they are. 

Feels good to be back.

The girl posted a thank you message on FB earlier today.

9 Year olds have Facebook?!?

Probably her mother's account. But, yeah. 9 year olds do have Facebook. It's not as if FB's age check is ... um ... foolproof.

Well said.

Hand egg sucks anyway.

That's the same reason I don't want to score too high in Asteroids!  Haaaa!

RC in min 2 probably didn't help Southampton. Another RC in min 86 even less, though Man Utd already had 6-0 by then.

Edit: Oh yes and Jankewitz who got the first red card is a 19 year old who did his very first game as a starter, a game that lasted him 77 seconds.

I do feel sorry for the kid, but it was a wild challenge. I feel worse for him than I did for Gerrard in his last game against United. ? There's only been three 9-0 scorelines in the history of the Premier League. United or Southampton have been involved in all 3. United 9 Ipswich 0 (1995), Southampton 0 Leicester 9 (last season) and now United 9 Southampton 0.

I always carry something explosive just to take out the sweats in the game! Nothing better than taking a shot at someone and watching the Empire State Building go up in 2 seconds ... only to blow the whole base of their monument up and kill them with the drop!

I'm not that good at the game so rely on stealth. The second Victory Royale I got was, again, against a builder but on that occasion I had those purple bombs that blow you backwards. Those kept him on his toes and I was able to get a final shotgun kill from distance. Daftest one was on my third Victory Royale, where the two other remaining players managed to kill each other. ?

Oh I am no builder. I get stuck trying to outgun sweats and I will lose every time. I do have 418 solo wins since I started playing back in C2S1. And I am a HUGE fan of stealth/sniper/sneaky gameplay. Playing on the Switch at only 30 FPS I cannot "run n gun" against PC players but this is my gameplay style anyway.

I still rank the Eagle as my #2 favorite spaceship behind the Constitution class Enterprise. Can't explain it I just do.

It was one of my favourite shows as a kid. Landau actually works because he's not really expected to have a tonne of charisma in his character's position. TBH, none of the other characters are really written well. It hasn't aged well but I tried to watch Blake's 7 the other week and that's aged far worse.

@ClassicGMR - I actually had the toy. There were two or three different versions you could buy. I think I had the one with the detachable cargo bay. The Eagle was one of the most interesting sci-fi ship designs for sure.

At least it was full of cheese.

Right?  First cabinet I saw was from '87...

Especially when it's well on its way to being my single favorite game ever. It's shocking to me that some on consoles are having such a different time with it.

Were those news delivered by boat?

Yes, I saw the latest news stories about Elliot Page, and my first thought was to wonder how they will handle this in The Umbrella Academy.  It should be interesting.
