It’s a sick day here in the CatBox. I ate some chicken tonight that was delicious. However, I can never eat it again, because it plugged my stent. I was in severe pain most of the night, but I finally got it unplugged this morning. WWWendy is coming. Have a great day, and Lona sent me my Australian cousin to help with the site.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I’m glad you got your stent unplugged.
I happen to have a hiatal hernia, and about 5 times I’ve had chicken get caught in the pouch above the diaphragm. The pain was so intense I almost called an ambulance because I thought I was having a heart attack.
So now whenever I have chicken or turkey I make sure I chew it to a pulp!
Your Australian cousin is quite the prodigious typist.
Oh no! So relieved to read that you got it undone/unplugged! Hope that you get a chance to rest, and relax, and get a nap in. HI, Wendy!! Take good, good care, and Thanks, Tom.
p.s. Lona’s kitty is very, very busy, but so adorable!!
*This just in: 1. “As to all the drama over in one political party, our President, the Democrats, and his administration are quietly working behind the scenes to clean up the mess that the previous administration left behind. The best news is that it is being done and when the other side finds out about it, they are too late to do anything about it.” ~ Anon ~

p.s. Still have this album. Played the vinyl off of it…Thanks!
TJI #2 – I just found out that Winston is actually Naomi Biden’s cat, but it standing in until the Bidens can adopt one of their own. That’s why you so seldom see him or hear from him.
TJI #3 – They are making a big deal of this. Most of us sane people would not dream of getting on a commercial flight, even with an N95 mask. But the Biden’s don’t have to. Thay have acces to AF1 and Marine1.
TJI #5 – Well, he’s a huge part of what got them sued (and they will lose). Another name mentioned in the suit was Nails-on-Chalkboard Queen Jeannine Pirro. I so hope she also falls victim.
TJI #6 – As I understand, they have the option of paying cash up fron, but if they don’t it will be deducted from their pay. And the second and subsequent violations are $10,000 each.
TJI #6: If they pay up, are they then allowed to continue without being scanned for weapons? I hope not, because what would be the point?
No, every time they refuse is a new offense. And the fine goes up once, to $10,000 and then staus at $10,000 every. single. time they refuse.
Yes, chicken is kind of stringy. (So is turkey Even duck and goose, though possibly a little less so.) I’m so sorry. But glad you got it released!
I’m much better – I took extra NSAIDs for a couple od days but I think I can now dispense with that.
I was glad to learn that President Biden can and will cut off Trump**s access to intelligence briefings. I feared that had to go through multiple steps, some involving Republicans, and that it might be a big problem. Also that reconciliation is finished and that now the CoViD-19-package can get passed on a simple majority.
Blast – Before you go looking for a heart of gold in someone else, it might behoove you to develop one inside yourself.
I think we all know of a few of these people (and not all are “guys.”) …
So sorry to hear of your newest challenge TC, yet glad it was so quick to resolve. If it was the stringy element, a guideline might be anything that gets caught in teeth (some lettuces do similar for me to what poultry does).
Thanks for the Heart of Gold–always a favorite–and for the fast substitute.
Glad that you got past that blockage!
‘Peter cat must have eaten a whole lo to energizer Bunnies!
‘Toon: Any day now.
BFP: I still love his sound!
Sometimes I genuinely believe that the Republican Party is beyond salvation, that it has passed the point of no return, and the only thing that the few decent Republicans left can do is break away and start a brand-new party. We cannot become a one-party country; indeed, we need MORE viable parties!
TJI#2: No dog, no cat, not pet, not even a viper, in the dumpy WH, because neither Dumpy, nor Melanoma, could relate to a being that needs to be cared for, taking attention away from themselves. Hell, even Nixon, rather sadly, had a dog!
TJI#5: According to CNN, Fox will pay Dobbs to sit on the sidelines, shutting him up, and keeping him close. Law suits can have all sorts of impacts, can’t they?
TJI#6: Gohmert is an incontrovertible POS, insistent on remaining so, despite opportunities to grow up.
I’m sorry you’re back to eating chicken mousse, TomCat, and also sorry you had to find out in such a painful way that chicken prepared any other way is off the menu now.
3:33 Pretty enough flower but not much of a smell.
Cartoon: Please don’t take as long as the dinos did, GOP.
BFTP: I think we’ve all found that heart of gold here at PP. Yours, TomCat.
Yikes, scary hearing about your stent being plugged. Happy to hear you were able to get some relief from it. Plus do be careful, TC.
Lona’s kitty is so adorable. Wish I had half the energy/speed.
Cartoon: Wish they’d go sooner.
BFTP: Great song. Love Neil Young.
Tell Wendy “Hello” tomorrow.
Hope you’re doing better and have a pleasant day/evening.
Take care. Thanks TomCat
Hoping you’re still ”unplugged”, TC and able to enjoy the game today! There’s something ironic about the TC being ”brought down” by a bird!
It may be even more irinic that it happened at roughly the same time the Lincoln Project featured “Chicken.”
ARGH!! 🤮
Thanks and Ellipsoid Orb Hugs to all! 🏈
