Newest Babies

In the pic of 4, l-r: Mary Anne, Lovey, Minnow, Gilligan. These 4 came to me 3ish weeks ago and a few days later developed symptoms of a common kitten virus. The virus got the best of little Lovey, and she died last Wednesday. My first fostering loss. I cried for hours.
The next day, Mary Anne developed bad mouth sores and stopped eating. I took her and her siblings to the vet on Friday to figure out exactly what was going on and was prescribed 5 different medications.
I am relieved to report they are doing great now. Mary Anne is eating on her own again, and everybody is enjoying pouncing like healthy babies. The single pics were taken last night of Minnow (Brown Tabby), Gilligan (Orange Tabby), and Mary Anne (Tabby with white chest).

In loving memory of sweet little Lovey...

baby changing table

If I sit my old laptop on the changing table while I potty, will it change into the new laptop I want?

Lunchtime Encounter

Was walking back to work with my lunch and came across a middle-aged man sitting on a stoop hugging a red teddy bear. He looked sad. I walked by. But I couldn't shake the nudge to go back and check on him. So, I turned around.
I put my hand on his shoulder and asked, "hey, are you okay?" He looked up and stuttered, "I-I-I'm a little, I'm a little hungry."
I opened the to-go box in my hand and asked him if it looked good. I told him he could have it or I would take him to any other restaurant around to get him some lunch. He said what was in my box looked good, and it became his.
I held out a plastic fork wrapped in a napkin. He told me he was allergic to "those" and had been his whole life.
"Allergic to forks?" I asked.
"Yes," he said with a chuckle. "B-b-but, do you h-have a couple dollars so I can get some cigarettes?"
"No, I'm sorry. I have no cash."
"Okay. Thank you."
"Okay. Well, I hope you enjoy your lunch. Wait... What's your name?"
"My family doesn't believe in names."
"You don't have a name?"
"No. They don't believe in names."
"Okay. Well, it's nice to meet you. Have a nice day."

Interesting encounters in the ATL.
