Wu was MIA but Leyla and I went down and had a nice sea bug dinner near where she was staying. She called and had been out of cell service but was just across the river in Alexandria, VA. waiting on the water taxi thingy. There are boats that go back and forth from Alexandria and where she is staying at The National Harbor in Maryland. The Harbor is new and until a few years ago there was no reason to go there except to dump a body. Now they have a nice place with restaurants and such.

Wu and her friend arrived, only ones on the boat, and music started playing and colored lights lighting. It was quite the fanfare. I don't know if it is every time a boat comes in but we agreed it was for Wu.We hung out on the dock by the Potomac and chatted. Perfect weather to just hang out. We caught up a bit as we don't chat like we did back when she was here more. It was really nice and comfortable, like sitting with an old friend. Wu is wonderful and so is her friend and I suspect very much like Leyla and I. She is an old soul and feels like she has great thoughts. We took some pictures but I am not authorized to share I will respect her wishes. It was fun to laugh and talk and hug but way to short as visits with good people always are

Yeah I type slow.

wow. sadness. I don't even get to see the photos?? :blink: :blink:

It was really funny. I asked if her arrival was always like that and she assured me it was It was like an opening scene from Star Wars with dramatic music and colored lights all along the dock. Up until then it was quiet peaceful riverside. I was like

It kinda does. LOL It's so funny...the story behind it.
I asked him today why he didn't make me a tiger instead of a mouse. He said "you want me to change your character to a tiger?" I said "no...I just want to be a ferocious tiger for a while".

How to give your cat a pill:

Sit on sofa. Pick up cat and cradle it in the crook of your elbow as though you were going to give a bottle to a baby. Talk softly to it.


With right hand, position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. (be patient) As cat opens mouth pop pill into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow. Drop pill into mouth. Let go of cat, noticing the direction it runs.


Pick the pill up off the floor and go get the cat from behind sofa. Cradle cat in left arm and repeat process. Sit on floor in kitchen, wrap arm around cat as before, drop pill in mouth. Let go of cat, noticing the direction it runs.


Retrieve cat from bedroom, and throw soggy pill away. Scoot across floor to pick up pill, and go find the cat. Bring it back into the kitchen. Take new pill from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm holding rear paws tightly with left hand. Force jaws open and push pill to back of mouth with right forefinger. Hold mouth shut for a count of ten. Drop pill into mouth.


Pry claws from back legs out of your arm. Go get the cat, pick up half-dissolved pill from floor and drop it into garbage can.


Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of closet. Call spouse from backyard. Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front and rear paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously.


Retrieve cat from curtain rod, get another pill from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered Doulton figures from hearth and set to one side for gluing later.


Get spouse to lie on cat with head just visible from below armpit. Put pill in end of drinking straw, force mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw.


Check label to make sure pill not harmful to humans, drink glass of water to take taste away. Apply Band-Aid to spouse's forearm and remove blood from carpet with cold water and soap.

Push pill into mouth followed by large piece of fillet steak. Hold head vertically and pour one cup of water down throat to wash pill down.


Get spouse to drive you to the emergency room, sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm and removes pill remnants from right eye. Call at furniture shop on way home to order new table.


Get last pill from bottle. Go into bathroom and get a fluffy towel. Stay in the bathroom with the cat, and close the door.

Sit on bathroom floor, wrap towel around kitty, leaving only his head exposed. Cradle kitty in the crook of your arm, and pick up pill off of counter.


Retrieve cat from top of shower door (you didn't know that cats can jump 5 feet straight up in the air, did you?), and wrap towel around it a little tighter, making sure its paws can't come out this time. With fingers at either side of its jaw, pry it open and pop pill into mouth. Quickly close mouth (his, not yours).


Sit on floor with cat in your lap, stroking it under the chin and talking gently to it for at least a half hour, while the pill dissolves.


Unwrap towel, open bathroom door. Wash off scratches in warm soapy water, comb your hair, and go find something to occupy your time for 7-1/2 hours.


Arrange for SPCA to get cat and call local pet shop to see if they have any hamsters.
