Happy Blogiversary

Elayne of Elayne’s Journal is celebrating her eighth blogiversary today. Unfortunately she’s doing it from a hospital bed because of kidney problems.

My congratulations and best wishes go out to her, as Blogger comments doesn’t like people with their own websites.

She joins a number of others on the “Injured / Reserve” list of blogtopia:

Getting old isn’t easy.

And a heavy duty attack from Satan Cat too! Ted is Mother Theresa by comparison! Onr handed typing for a while!

Thanks so much, Bryan! Just as a point of reference, “Elayne’s Journal” is the subtitle of my blog – the title is and was always Pen-Elayne on the Web. I’ve used the “Pen-Elayne/Penny Lane” pun since I was a kid.

Waiting to be released from the hospital any hour now…

A Super-Soaker heavy duty squirt gun is your friend in such cases, Jams. I have one by my backdoor and it is much more convenient than going for the garden hose to break-up a cat fight. The model I have keeps me 10 feet away from the fight while delivering a stream of water on target. A bucket of water will do in a pinch, and it makes cleaning wounds easier.

I have had the clawings before I shifted to water.

Getting old isn’t easy…. but the alternative sucks…

Get better all you guys! Don’t fall down cuz I’m right behind you.

I know, Elayne, but I want you down in the “E’s” with Echidne and Eschaton. You will notice a block of “senior” blogs down there which is the pattern in which I read them.

The software doesn’t allow me much freedom in order unless I want to hand code them, and the editor will copy link and all with one highlight.

BTW, your Doc isn’t kidding about the pain of passing a kidney stone. The hypersonic blasting they do now is the only way to go. I had a friend who had them more than once in the old days. He said it was worse then being shot, and he would know.

Congrats, and Happy Blogiversary all! 😀

I also wish you all speedy recovery, and all the best!

Thanks for the light of truth and honest opinions. 🙂

Not sure that ordinary water would work against Satan Cat Bryan, I shall have it blessed by at least three popes

Actually I’ve been known to add a “kicker” to the water when I knew I was targeting a nuisance varmint, but with cat fights you don’t want to add anything that might significantly annoy the victim, especially if they will be returning to your house.
