It’s a queasy day here in the CatBox. I’m keeping it down, but just barely. By rotating food items to different meals, I’ve determined that I can eat items I thought I couldn’t eat at lunch, when I have no pills to take. I’ll have my mortar and pestle today, my big jar of applesauce tomorrow, and box of 50 2 oz. plastic cups with lids to store powdered meds and applesauce on Sunday. WWWendy is coming this evening to de-stink the Tomcat and help with chores.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s non-food item took me 4:02 (average 5:13). To do it, click here. How did you do?

Take damn his undeserved medal away too!
Short Takes:
From Alternet: A mother and son from Sarasota Military Academy in Florida are being quarantined for COVID-19, according to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. On the Academy’s Facebook page [Fakebook delinked], the school posted on Monday that the “mother’s contact with a patient at Sarasota Doctors Hospital in her professional role,” had led to both her and her son to be quarantined as a “precautionary measure.” The two reportedly showed no symptoms of the virus.
On Friday, Feb. 28, Trump’s top coronavirus point man and non-believer in science, Mike Pence, held a fundraiser in Sarasota at the home of Republican Rep. Vern Buchanan. At the event, Pence talked about “possible changes in travel status to the United States,” while shaking hands with dozens of supporters and 44 cadets from Sarasota Military Academy. Ruh-roh.
While I would not wish Trump* virus on anyone, spending some quarantine time might teach that hate-spewing pseudo-Christian sycophant a little compassion for his and his criminal Fuhrer’s other Trump* virus victims. RESIST!!
From YouTube (Robert Reich Channel): Mitch McConnell’s Do Nothing Republicans
Of course the Reich on the left, Robert Reich, is right. The Reich on the right, the evil Republican Reich, has two perfect (for them) shepherds: criminal Fuhrer Trump* and Bought Bitch Midnight Moscow Mitch. Flush both in November, and flush all their cronies. Every Republican in office is one Republican too many! RESIST!!
From YouTube (a blast from the past): THIS MAGIC MOMENT-JAY AND THE AMERICANS
Ah… the memories. RESIST!!
Vote Blue!!

6:41 Except that isn’t brown, it’s keratin (orange or ginger).
Very New and Timely (and one of Lloyd Webber’s very best tunes)
Cartoon – How about just take HIM away. Oh, wait, God is working on that. (Or karma – whatever.)
AlterNet – Yeah. Do as I say, not as I do. Trump has been bragging that his rallies are safe. I’ll bet a lot of his supporters – especially Talibangelicals – believe that.
RR – Some of those bills are bipartisan, too. Not that there’s a high bar for that – one Republican vote makes a bill “bipartisan” – but there are some which are truly bipartisan.
Past – I remember the song well. I don’t think I was ever aware of who covered it.
Cartoon: First thing I thought of….Wasn’t that a Charmin commercial back years ago? (Take me Away). How appropriate! lol
AN: Good Grief! Think this is going to get worse before it gets better…I don’t see any info coming out the WH either…
RR: Good video!
YT: Loved this song.
I sure do hope that your food intake levels out and is good for you. Hi, WWWendy! hope all is good with you.
Take good care, and Thanks, Tom.
This just in: “NO audio/video permitted at WH Pence COVID19 press conference. Outrageous and a further signal to the public that the Trump administration doesn’t have a handle on this. (AT ALL).” ~ Laura R. ~
2. “You lost (last night) tonight, Donald Trump. Democrats around the country are fired up. We are decent, brave, and resilient people. We are better than you. Come November we are going to beat you.” ~ Joe Scarborough ~
3. “It’s unfortunate that Ms. Warren did not get any more votes. She’s smart and had numerous proposals. America is still not ready for a woman President.” ~ Gwen W. ~
4. “The irony is that it just might be Obama’s Vice President that tosses Trump out of the WH. How appropriate would that be?” ~ Matt J. ~
OOPS!
Forgot to mention about RR’s video…he gets better and better as time goes by.
And a great singer at that too!
Thanks, Joanne.
Glad to see that you are figuring ways around the eating issues
‘Toon: Far, far away, like Tevya’s rabbi said about the Czar.
Altrnet: Pence is useless, and the Orange Word Salad man is more so. when asked about the possible spread of the corona virus, this is the jumble-shit that escaped his mouth: “Well, it’s — anything can happen, but I wouldn’t say inevitable at all. No. I wouldn’t say — we’ve really — we’ve done a good job by doing it and combating it so early. We have the best people in the world. And I think we’re getting a lot of credit for having made that early move. So, no, I don’t think that’s inevitable at all.”
RR: McTurtle is little less than a traitor, and a man who thinks nothing of the oaths he takes before his God!
BFTP: A good one.
Pat’s #4 is a dream!

But, but, that’s not his face, that’s his ass!
If he doesn’t touch his face, then how does that orange makeup get on it?
He doesn’t need to touch his face. And what makes you think it’s “orange makeup”?
This is how it looks after he pulls it out of his ass:
I’m not sure If you should make batches of ground medication mixed with applesauce, TomCat. They might interact over time and render some of your medication useless/less potent. Or the applesauce takes on the taste of the medication, defeating the idea of getting it past your tumour and not make you vomit because of the bad taste at the same time.
3:13 Nice kitty.
Cartoon: Make the arrow point at his head, please.
Alternet: Pence ending up with a nasty but non-lethal case of COVID-19 would show Americans what useless a$$es he and his boss are. It would also mean that the whole White House would be under quarantine, but that only has some effect if they manage to take Trump’s phone away from him.
RR: Right as always, but preaching to the choir doesn’t help. Booting every Republican out of office will.
BFTP: Not the faintest shimmer of recognition.
The plan is to fill the applesauce cups in advance, but to grind and add the meds immediately before use.
Thanks and hugs to all.
