Cat drinks Tim Hortons take out coffee, and loves it

[HalationEffect]

Welcome to my world, but now that you made me think about this, all those gadgets and contracts that come with them are putting me in the poor house.

Heh, the only contract I have is the one with my ISP; my mobile phone is on a pre-pay tariff. Hell, even the electricity supply to my home is via a pre-pay meter.

I'll do it when my income rises above average 1970 levels

I'm not a luddite by preference; my bank balance forces me to be one against my will

Someday you should replace that 1970 calendar hanging on your wall.

Hey look - he had to ride for days on horseback to get it so he's keeping it until he absolutely has to get a new one!

What? No web cam?

or smartphone? I was thinking the same thing, even digital cameras have video capabilities...

Yep, no webcam here. Also, no smartphone and no digital camera.

My feature phone has a camera, and I think it can even record video clips, but I lost the proprietary-connector-to-USB cable that connects it to a PC the last time I moved home. The phone has Bluetooth, and has a removable 1GB micro-SD card, but my PC doesn't have Bluetooth capability or a micro-SD card reader. Sure, I could buy a replacement cable, or a Bluetooth adapter or a card reader, but the occasions where I'd want to transfer data between my phone and my PC are just too infrequent (read: almost never) to justify even such a minor expense.

Hey HalationEffect...please get your 10-year-old son to do this and post a video on YouTube! You'll be F-A-M-O-U-S !

If I had something to record him with, I'd probably consider it

[SteveRiley]

You know what else is funny, his last name, it sounds like somebody twapping their lips with their finger while humming.

Thanks for that, that's the 2nd good chuckle I've had today

The first was my 10 year old son showing me his school art project... he's drawn a picture of a guy karate-kicking Justin Bieber in the head. So powerful was the kick, that it resulted in Bieber's decapitation. When I was able to stop laughing, I told him it was possibly the greatest work of art I'd ever seen! I generally enjoy being a dad, but some days it's especially awesome.

Now THAT is funny! You know what else is funny, his last name, it sounds like somebody twapping their lips with their finger while humming.

Possibly. But since sifting kitty litter is most certainly not on my list of hobbies, I might be throwing away money with each and every turd. I don't care.

Hmm, do you think she's trying to make a feline version of Kopi Luwak?

One of my other cats (not the one observing a dist-upgrade) loves coffee beans. Whenever she hears me running the grinder, she runs into the kitchen for a beany treat.

My cousin has a couple advanced veterinary degrees and runs a practice. Very small doses of aspirin are safe. But acetaminophen (paracetamol) is, in fact, toxic in all amounts, as HalationEffect mentioned.
