I really didn’t know if I should proceed here with a business-as-usual manner or just pause for a while.
It’s really up to you guys .let me know.
believe it–or not
Not.
I hope it’s drawn on the picture, not the cat!
The latter would be easier.
Whoever would paint a cat deserves his wounds.
By this site, I consider it reliable, “GIVE IT LOVE” ,the markings are real.
The link takes you directly to the page where another copy of nighthawks’ picture is posted, but there are 38 other uniquely marked cats here too.
Sorry there’s no way most of those shapes… especially the face and those double stripes around the front legs… are real markings.

things sound touch and go for Stel –I was on the phone with her from the hospital and it was good to hear her laugh out loud
she said she might not get home in time to make a new puzzle for Saturday, and for me to post something—so I did
but very early this morning things started taking a turn for the worse.
Even with this posting, we can give in to gloom and doom, or we can post as close to normal as possible and give StelBel something to come back to.
I’ll wait for others to either agree or disagree before acting.
I do think we need to keep going…
Otherwise what would be in this space?
It’s the strip that creates a gathering place for us.
Whatever laughter we can muster is also a help.
We do have another birthday party very soon (3rd of the 3 in October) that I think should be put off for a bit… I hope the honoree will understand.
Anybody?
I’ll be coming here to see the news anyway.
Is there anything we can supply for her that she can’t do for herself? I don’t know that much about her or where she lives, but does she have anyone to take care of her house / yard / pets until she comes home? Will she need a support person to take care of her as she recuperates? Let us know how her Cleo family can help, even if it’s just to get her to grin every once in awhile.
i’m afraid all we can do is HOPE!
I am not really a reliable judge of anything right now, but I’ll say that Susan and Happy(3) make sense to me.
I’m on the side of keeping things as close to normal as possible while waiting for StelBel’s recovery.
Sending her as many good vibes as possible that that’s the outcome.
It’s my experience that when someone is struck down, their chances of recovery are vastly improved if they have something to strive for. Hope is all important now. Let’s send her as much as we can.
Nighthawks, please keep us posted as you learn more. I know that I’m going to keep this tab open and will check in for news throughout the day.
Just got here. So sorry for Candy, hoping for the best and wishing her a full recovery. ♥
Candi with an ‘I’….or Candice, also with an ‘i’
I should have known that. Was in a rush to post something. I won’t change it now.
I’m not as frequent of a visitor here, so I will follow the lead of others. Thank you, Nighthawks for posting a puzzle today.
Please give her my love. I think all the comments and fun here will be something wonderful for her to come back to as she recovers. But, I don’t get over here very often, so I’d rely on others’ opinions more.
I’m praying for Candy.
I can’t.
Ok, here I am with the puzzle solution… I got a teeny bit delayed.
To my eyes, there are a couple of tricky ones today, or maybe I should just say subtle ones…
But there are nine, I promise.
Remember that although Stel’s been doing ten differences lately…
tonight you can stop at nine.
You’d be up all night trying to find a tenth 😁.
Some very subtle differences in this one. I only found seven. A bit miffed that I missed, with what in hindsight with your solution, was quite an obvious one. Grrrrrrrrr!!
Got 8 – and I think I missed the same obvious one…
I don’t see the difference in the one everyone is missing!
The one I’m kicking myself over is……..
I got that one, I cant tell you and spoiler still never works for me, guess I’m just dumb, if you put the spoiler between the brackets why does it not work
thanks
not dumb
Exactly!
I’d have to multiply the number I got by 1.5 to get all nine.
Aaarrrrrrr, I missed that one completely. Plus two others that I kept looking at thinking they weren’t quite right, but couldn’t pick out what was changed. In the end I just chalked it to looking too hard and moved on. Oh well, 6.
I came here to do the puzzle when I got the news. Got them all, but that doesn’t seem so important now.
To StelBel…
Beautifully said, Tigressy.
Thoughts & prayers are with you, Stel – I’ve been a fan of your work & comments for years & trust you’ll be back soon!
‘My Boy Lollipop,’ ‘My Girl,’ ‘My Girl Bill,’ and ‘My Guy,’ and the ‘Cheap Thrills Cuisine’ recipe ‘Avocado Shrimp Bisque.’
Originally ‘My Girl Lollipop’ it was written by Robert Spencer of ‘The Cadillacs ‘ (the first record / 45 / I ever bought, the tune got to me).
Another one by ‘Chilliwack.’ The mix of beats is why I like it.
My sister liked this song. She liked the ‘reveal’ at the end.
Different sex, different beat, but again I like the tune.
…Lollypop is a great one. There is something about her unique voice that I really like.
…Gone Gone Gone is cool, I never heard it before. I like the chanted chorus.
Sending you as many healing thoughts as you need.
candi, our thoughts and prayers are still with you!
I just heard about Stel from DennisinSeattle on Ten Cats. Sending healing thoughts and best wishes. Your are a fighter, Stel. Get well really soon. Love you!!
You and your hubby hang in there too. We’re all pulling for you.
Thank you so much. Slightly better every day. Long journey.
hello perky!
Hi! Sorry I haven’t been here. Hope you are doing okay.
each day is getting harder…
xxoo to you and your hubby!
Sorry to hear that. I think about you a lot. Our old age should be easier than this! You take care and hang in there best you can.
Hi! I was just in the middle of an email to tell you about it!
Good to see you
I hope we only hear good news about Stel!
AAAARRRGGHHH! ! !
The cloud hasn’t lifted so I can’t see the eclipse.
Are you peeking at it
?
same here! oh well. next time.
Stel, you’re in our hearts.
I hope this is one you can work with.
The “Queen of Tampering” will be pleased with your work as it is, though.
I forgot to answer your question.
I hope you’re running a PC, because I don’t know how to work a Mac.
1 Drag the picture to your Pictures File.
2 Open it with “Paint”
3 If it isn’t visible go to the top bar of the window, right click, and selcect “Show quick access bar”
4) Click “resize” and using the % option select a figure that suits you (pixels work, but their more awkward). 5) Save it an you’re done.
After that, I don’t know how you did what you did.
The attachment is at 50%.
Hi Candice, sending you love. ❣️
Dennis, thanks for the tech help.
I would say yes. All the happiness we can find in this world is wonderful. I just found out what happened over on Gocomics. Please give her all my love.
I just heard about Stelbel. Can you tell her that Mary/Shika sends her love?
Good to see you here, Shika!
