Suffering thru the hotter then hot , highly humid weather . My new 26 year old associate who is very physically narcissistic was fit to be tied since the humidity flattened out her always exotically styled hair .
Learned my 43 year old cousin and her 22 year old daughter back home are both pregnant .
The stray cat I started to feed is now hanging around my apartment building
I love cats, moi. In fact, there are four cats that hang around my dad's house. They often come in and are fed. They certainly enjoy their food! I love those cats. One of them is pure white: I love her to bits. She is my friend: and she knows it. She'll always come over to me and rub herself against my legs. She will also always want a stroke. She's a very affectionate cat.
Oh, dear, shall we soon welcome you in the very private club not of "cats' owners", but of "cats' slaves"? Are you allowed to keep pets in your building ? I know someone who is looking for a family to adopt her cat, as she's moving to Quebec for her job, and hasn't found any rented apartment allowing pets (another friend had the same problem in Singapore). I don't know if you've ever had a cat, but I'm sure you're a cat lady ! Wishing you both good luck !
I noticed from British & French tv the ends of both world wars are big deals over there .Not so in the USA .That's wrong .The closest is Veterans Day on 11 November that ignores the end of World War One but instead is dedicated to honoring all that served .Government offices are closed , hourly paid employees get extra money but no big events occur.
Memorial Day has parades with flags & veterans but has become the day you honor everyone who you lost like parents, friends etc. Also the start of the summer with bar b ques and stores have sales.
I hope Americans visit the cemeteries in France since you wud hate to think those men are forgotten .
