My family’s very last pet was a 15 pound black cat name Samuel Simon xxxxxx (Sam Si[eye]m or Sam for short) (I’m not certain, but I think that name was given to him by Mother).
Sadly, he was run over by a car.
The person who hit him took him to a veterinarian though.
That’s how Dad found out Sam’s fate; he phoned around to veterinarians when Sam was gone for a few days longer than his not uncommon three days. One veterinarian said a cat fitting Sam’s description was euthanized at his clinic on the very day he went out for his ramble.
Very sad! Happened to one of our cats, also. She scooted out the gate when my husband opened it to leave. The vet the people took her to knew her and called us.
This must be from the Dutch edition of a Mickey Mouse publication….
I don’t speak Dutch, but some words have English, German or Yiddish cognates I kind of recognise, even though English is the only one of those I speak.
So I amused myself using Google Translate to see what a few labels mean… even without that, you can tell it’s some sort of criminal job fair or crime workshop.
(Yes, I am very easily amused. Wanna make something of it?)
…
Donald is working at the “Lost and Found” window. He’s bored… probably cos the crooks just keep any property they find.
There are tables offering “false paperwork”, “alibis”, “sheets” (seemingly for knotting into escape ladders), and “stone-throwing”.
Google says “Klus kraken” means “job cracking” .. I have to think that must equate to what we call safe-cracking, as the sign is, as you see, on a safe.
….
“Vlucht Autos” means “Flight Cars”… right outside the exit, so “get-away cars”, perhaps?
And I don’t know whether “Hekken voor Dummies”, “Fences for Dummies”, has anything to do with “fencing” stolen property in English. The one customer seems confused by receiving an actual little fence.
Tigressy might know.
….
What is Mickey doing there? He looks like he might be a detective, checking it out.
Mercurochrome and Merthiolate are both banned in the US, because of their mercury content.
Iodine was the original, and is the only one you can still buy.
The early solutions of it were strong and really stung.
Moms (and yeah, other people) used the other two to minimise stinging compared to Iodine, though Mercurochrome is the only one that was painless.
But now you can get povidone-iodine solution, which is cheap and doesn’t sting at all. Doctors swab you with it before surgery, or even removing a splinter.
The best known brand is Betadine, but the generic is less than half the price, especially the WalMart or Target brand.
I meant to say that a lot of people use Neosporin or another triple antibiotic instead… it kills more “germs” than povidone iodine, which is antiseptic, not antibiotic.
But doctors will tell you NOT to … for one thing, its combination of neomycin, bacitracin, and polymyxin is overkill on something not infected, and is fueling development of resistant bacteria…
and also, many people develop allergies to neomycin.
You can buy straight bacitracin, so that if you ever need the other two, they’ll still work.
I did something to my back and i’m totally incapacitated from pain.
I was sitting on my couch and i reached for a drink and then came the pain.
Something low and on the right side.
I’m probably going to go to the ER tomorrow, because my VA NP wants me to get an ultrasound for something completely different anyway.
…i’m falling apart.
Pain of any type is no fun whatever. I hope it’s caused by something minor. I’m leaving this “raw” so it’s easier for you to copy if you want to.
It’s the result of my “back pain” search at the Mayo Clinic site.
I’m reasonably certain the cause at the 13th bullet point can be eliminated in your case (but I’m not a doctor / nor do I play one on T.V.). 😎 😁
Have the NP call in a request for the ultrasound.
Sorry to hear of your back pain. It can be incapacitating. Ice packs and OTC pain relievers may provide some relief, and in any event will at least cause no harm. Good luck.
Everybody’s different… but ibuprofen is my personal “glue”.
And Salonpas patches.
…
Just don’t try to be your own doctor till you give real ones a chance… there’s too much excessive, useless or downright bogus information on the internet.
The Miss Cleo outfit reminds me of the time I spent as landlord to the woman who would become Miss Cleo. Too bad our Cleo has to live with that indignity.
Back then, she convinced the local African American theater organization that she had something to offer, but she bombed. She finally found her calling as Miss Cleo. The accent is fake, of course. The tenants who came after her made a Miss Cleo shrine, I don’t know if it is still there.

What a privilege to be so intimate with those gorillas!
Pork loin braised in milk is a Bolognese dish that I first encountered in Marcella Hazan’s Classic Italian Cook Book (1980). When I was a grad student I made it at my house for one of my professors and his wife. He pointed out that it was about as non-Kosher as you could get.
Challenge is still in existence in Dublin, California (There was home milk delivery in Alberta until the early 1980s) . LINK TO THE COMPANY’S WEBSITE TODAY
That’s a Divco milk truck (I couldn’t find anything on the model or the year [one site says circa 1950] but it was apparently the most popular brand of truck for this purpose).
Where do Egyptians go for back pain?
To a Cairopractor, of course.
A lumberjack went to a doctor complaining of back pain so severe he couldn’t carry heavy logs anymore.
The doctor told he didn’t have enough lumber support.
A man went to the doctor complaining about back pain and the doctor noticed the man’s terrible posture.
“Do you have any ideas as to why you have such awful posture?” he asked his patient.
“Well, I’ve got a hunch.”
Edited in a bit later.
Ask your doctor for this treatment; it is “The very best way to treat back pain.”
The internet is never wrong you know.

OH, NO! Is this going to be another Find the Differences?? Lots going on here.
We’d really be in Dutch then.

OK… I tried to peel the castle, but it won’t come off.
you can’t.–it’s the isle of MAN… 😉
Boooo!
Or Merthiolate. I always got the one that was painful.
I remember this stuff. Burned like a &^@$#!
By this LINK, it’s apparently still available in other countries.
Why would you want a mercury compound?
Mama don’t take my mercurochrome away!

So sorry, happyhappyhappy! I hope it is nothing serious. So easy to pull a muscle.
And i’m prone to it.
Was that a pun?
😿 😿 😿
Sorry to hear that, Hap. Good luck on yor recovery.
I see on other sites that you went to the ER at 2 AM, and are now home, sedated and with muscle relaxants. I hope you wake up tomorrow feeling GREAT.
Good luck!
Don’t fall apart!

Ouch. Get better asap!
keep us posted. good luck!
Take care buddy, we need you here.
My own Cleo cut-out! And with scads of costume choices for her many roles. Oh, to be five years old again.
Cutting out those moustaches will be a challenge!
The Miss Cleo outfit reminds me of the time I spent as landlord to the woman who would become Miss Cleo. Too bad our Cleo has to live with that indignity.
I just had to look her up.
She might well have been a con-artist (and ultimately not nice), but she did have flair.
She died of cancer on Tuesday, July 26, 2016 (in Florida at the age of 53) by this WASHINGTON POST ARTICLE
Back then, she convinced the local African American theater organization that she had something to offer, but she bombed. She finally found her calling as Miss Cleo. The accent is fake, of course. The tenants who came after her made a Miss Cleo shrine, I don’t know if it is still there.
Love the paper dolls. So funny!
What a privilege to be so intimate with those gorillas!
For a minute or so, when that female was stroking his hair, I was afraid he’d have to be more intimate than he bargained for.
Ha Ha
best video! funny and fun to watch.
I LOVE this paper doll!
I’m going to send it to my sister… she loves paper dolls too.
…
I am SO glad you included the word “print” in the instructions… otherwise I might have had another laptop disaster.
Also… I’m pretty good at cutting out… but how do we make the mustaches stay on Cleo’s face without tabs?
And don’t worry… I have my generic Betadine ready, as well.
Well, it does say in the directions that a first aid kit is required.
it’s MILK day! (no , not MLK day—that’s next Monday)
Use whole milk — 3.25% milk fat — for the recipe.

I’m in the ER. I hurt my back bad yesterday afternoon. I called 911 at about two this morning.
min on mussel relaxer.
Not helpless at home. That’s good.
I’m certain you have someone to take care of your furry pack?

That’s terrible! Do it again! 🙂
Don’t make happyhappyhappy laugh while he is in pain. Those are funny, though!
Groan, groan, and groan again. Don’t make Happy laugh, it could hurt!

LOVE today’s ‘toon, NH! if i was 70 years younger, i’d be there with my scissors and first aid kit.
I remember when I was little, sitting at a picnic table many times with several friends, and making paper doll clothes.
Why are people talking like you have to be a kid to cut out paper dolls?
Why, just the other day, I was cu…. um… never mind…
