No one “owns” a cat 😈

Yes, there are "how to bathe a cat" directions along the same lines as the "pilling" directions. And equally hilarious. :)

I've seen a number of variations of this over the years--and I still laugh every time I read one of them.

If there's a live person on the call, I'll ask them to hold a bit while I finish a task. You can guess how long before I return to the call.
I like your response. I'm afraid I tend to opt to be nasty and then feel a little guilty about it afterwards.
By the way, I too have a VTech system. Use the option on it to have caller state their name only if it's someone who knows me or a company I do business with. Actually works pretty well. Occasionally someone doing a "cold call" chooses to ignore the instructions and put themself through (which is when I choose to respond to their disregard for following directions with nastiness).

A somewhat belated, but nonetheless sincere, happy birthday, Mark!

I've done this multiple times and the fact that the cables never meet my personal length needs always manages to leave something hanging in a loop or something not reaching. My less than perfect solutions have always been frustrating,
This has always been my experience too. The whole apparatus is so intertwined by now that it takes forever to trace any given cable from one end of its connection to the other.

Great looking family. Miss your posts but glad all is going well for you.
I haven't participated in UHH much for a while, Graham, but your posts used to be the ones I most looked forward too. Glad to hear you're well.

I remember these things from years ago in New Jersey. Decided then that there should be a special circle in Hell for whoever came up with the idea.

GREAT NEWS!
A year and a half ago I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. After three operations and treatment (and six months out from the last operation) I went in today for a checkup. As of now, I am cancer free. I had been dreading this appointment.
What a great way to start the New Year. Praise the Lord.

Good for you! Enjoy a happy and healthy new year!

I'll take note next time I look at the bank a/c but I think mine says 'send a NEW code'. I've had emails get lost in the electronic ether, I look upon it as the internet equivalent of odd socks in the washing machine.
Have you checked your Spam folder for the "lost" ones? Sometimes for reasons beyond my comprehension they end up there.

I like being home, but I do leave occasionally. Having someone do the shopping for me and then put it into my car is great. It would be even better if I was able to pick up the Sam's order this morning. I'll try again next week.
But I think you're missing a big plus to in-person shopping. It's been brutally hot and humid here on VA's Eastern
Shore this summer. I've been making a real effort to get in a lot more steps per day than I can do just walking around the house (even if I take "the long way around" to get where I'm going). Have realized that going to the supermarket or Walmart gives me a chance to get in lots of steps inside in their air conditioning. (Of course, I guess the downside to that is that often while increasing my step count by just browsing up and down aisles after I've gotten what I really came to get, I come across, and succumb to the temptation to buy, stuff that I wouldn't have bought otherwise. (Did I really need that round grill press when I already had a perfectly good oblong one?)

I'm 87 will be 88 in November. Made up my mind to live to 104 then get shot by a jealous husband.
A worthy ambition indeed!

80 last April. Both parents died at 80, so if I make it to next April, I figure I'll have beaten the family average.
In the meantime, still in good health, still able to do most of the things I've always enjoyed doing, and still making plans "for the future" and curious about what it will bring. It has been (and still is) a good life. When things stop being fun, I'll be ready to go; really don't want to hang around any longer than that. Don't think I'll feel any regrets that my run didn't last longer.
Having read through this thread, it occurs to me that we Hogs are overall a pretty optimistic group of old timers.
