Post 120,000!!! Here I am, as nearly every morning, with my kitty, my coffee,

[niyad]

and my DU family. A perfect start to my day! I just want to thank all of you for this journey we share, the bright moments, the joy, the laughs, the sorrows.

Be safe and well. And pet all your furbabies for me!

1. A miilestone indeed!

Congrats!

Looking forward to a nice day today, after a morning nap. Because I can only stay horizontal for about 4 hours I often go back to bed by now and get up after a couple more hours, usually up by 9am. I can feel a sleep coming on but it will be sunny and above freezing when I get up.

[niyad]

11. Sounds lovely. Two inches of snow here. It was 65 yesterday.

[2naSalit]

54. We had that...

About ten days ago. Now it's kind of snowy or cold, in the 20s, at night and if it isn't snowing during the day, it's windy and sunny up in the high 30s to 40s. It's the wind that sucks.

Be well...

6. Congrats to YOU, niyad!

My doggy girl (nearly 13 yo now) still gets up with me to walk the park with a couple of friends pre-dawn so she's now fed and (somewhat literally, "fat & happy" ). She usually will sit on my legs hoping for the scraps (if I sit on the floor cushions eating breakfast) but apparently she doesn't like what I'm having for breakfast this morning-- so she's sleeping with some of her oversized stuffed toys as pillows nearby.


to you!

[niyad]

20. Thank you. My kitty likes to share whatever I am eating. He is very fond

of bacon, so sometimes I will cook some just for him. Right now, he is giving the snow s very unamused stare.

[Tadpole Raisin]

7. Congratulations! I have the coffee but sadly I can't have

pets where I live now. It’s been too long!!!

I’m hoping that will change in 2-3 years, and then I’m going to stock up - ok well maybe just a couple.


Do we have any pet emojis? We should. I’d like several including a cat that would roll over and a dog chasing a ball. Suggestion box?

[niyad]

21. Thank you. I hope you will be able to have pets soon.

I know tnere are pet emojis, ax I see them here all the time, especially in the Pets forum.

[NJCher]

43. pet emojis

If you have Windows 11, right click in the dialogue (reply) box. At the top of the menu that appears will be an option called "Emoji & Symbols."😼

You have to play around with it a little bit to get more of the animals.

[Tadpole Raisin]

48. Thanks! My laptop is as old as dirt and will require

replacement soon (no longer supported) so I don’t even attempt it there and given hacking potential I’m probably at risk anyway.

Mostly I’m on my iPhone and can’t do it on that.
I’ve been relying on the ones offered on DU.

But thank you very much! When I get the new laptop I’ll know now how to do that now.

[NJCher]

58. if you have an iPhone

take advantage of this collection of emojis.

or this one.

My away daughter is here for the week. She isn't usually here for Thanksgiving, so it's a treat. We went out in the yard and filled all of the feeders, now watching the critters emptying them

Congratulations on one hundred and twenty thousand posts! Doubtful I'll live long enough to make that many myself but I've sure read plenty of yours with interest.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. DU is a better place because of your presence.

[slightlv]

60. Thank you, niyad,

for your posts of wisdom, humour, and love through the years. I know if it weren't for my furbabies and this site, I'd have completely lost it years ago. They keep me engaged and DU helps me stay somewhat sane. They also know when I need kisses and head boops. I make the "announcement" it's bedtime, and I have 6 who stop whatever they're doing and either lead or follow me into the bedroom. Lately, with the advent of cold weather once again, my body has been curled up in pain and I've been close to losing my mind with this election. Those 6, as well as a few of the others, will make sure when they lay down in the bed, they have to be touching at least one part of my body. It makes getting up in the middle of the night to head to the bathroom a bit more difficult, but oh... the heat from their little bodies and the purring coos at that calming frequency makes it all worthwhile. (and there's one who always gets up with me and leads me to the bathroom. I guess he thinks "mom" can't make it there in the dark by herself! lol)

I hope to spend many more years gaining inspiration and solace from your posts. I only wish I could do the magic to make my pics of my babies appear. But alas, all this time, and I just can't make it happen. Sometimes, you just have to admit your weaknesses! lol

[BigmanPigman]

61. Cheers to you.....

Hopefully even more than 120,000 still to come!

[calimary]

62. YOWZA!!!

CONGRATS, niyad!!!

That’s pretty much how I start my day, too, btw, except mostly with hot tea in an oversized mug.

I appreciate this site more and more as the days and weeks go by.

[OldBaldy1701E]

63. Your presence is part of what makes this place special. (n/t)

[highplainsdem]

64. Congrats, niyad!

I usually start the day with DU, too.
