Best spot in the house!
 
I just finished a good audio book called The Lost Bookstore and now I need another. Any suggestions? I don't like scary stories but like most others.
The Lord of the Rings?
 
Good morning sir. Amazon ships cats?
Everything except radioactive spiders. I keep checking and hope they start selling them so I can once and for all live my life’s dream of having Spider-Man powers

What does today's episode of Cooking With Kevin bring us? @kevgib67
Sorry Luis I didn’t prepare a podcast this week, I’ve been home and under the weather all week. But I’ll throw one out as soon as I can!
 
So I'm leaving for a short trip to the Jersey Shore most likely Sunday evening, and then I'm thinking of coming back Thursday (it's all in the air still). So I could feed the fishes Sunday and Thursday, so it would be 3 days without food. I'm thinking of setting up the auto feeder to feed pellets and dry foods. We're having someone come over to feed and take the dogs out, so do you think I should have them place nori and feed my sis or do you think my fish will be fine? Im pretty sure all my fish eat the dry food.

This was at my oncologist. I'll be starting treatments which will last one year. Then we'll be back to monitoring.

I can’t open the video but that’s one happy baby! I hope the treatments aren’t too hard on you and your body.

The doctor says that the treatment is usually well tolerated and he expects me to be able to work the whole time.
