***********************************
Feline Friday was started by Steve, The Burnt Food Dude, and i'm going to believe it's because he likes cats.
He has handed hosting duties off to Sandee, of Comedy Plus, and it's simple to join, just follow the link to Sandee's page for the rules and the code.
Sally is demonstrating how to rest and eat at the same time.
***********************************
Friendly Fill-Ins are easy to do. There are four statements: the first two statements are provided by Ellen of 15AndMeowing, and the final two are offered by Lorianne The Menagerie Mom of Four-Legged Furballs. They try to make sure the statements will be fun to both answer and share. The linky will be posted at or about 12:00 AM on Friday. Please head over to one of their sites, link up, and share your thoughts!
Here are this week's statements with my responses underlined:
1. I feel _______________ when I ____________________.
2. I wish I could erase ______________from my memory to free up some space.
3. Others probably find it annoying that I _________.
4. _________ really needs to be invented.
1. I feel tired when I get home from work.
2. I wish I could erase old passwords from my memory to free up some space for the new passwords that i can't recall because the old get in the way.
3. Others probably find it annoying that I can't sing but love to anyway.
4. A better means of transport than something that burns fossil fuels and has rubber tires really needs to be invented.

Love your fill ins. I dread it each time I am told that my password has expired and needs to be changed.
ReplyDeleteSally doe have an amazing talent heheh!
ReplyDeleteI liked the fill ins #3 made me laugh ha!
Have a memorytastic weekend 👍
The photos of Sally made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteMimi,
ReplyDeleteI had to smile over the kitty's name. For some reason, it's still mystery to me, our oldest daughter would name all of her baby dolls "Sally" when she was small. Without fail, I'd give her a doll and say, "What do you want to name her?" and she'd reply, "Salllweee."
I stopped years ago trying to remember passwords. I began keeping a list of them in a document. Every time I needed to make a change, I was sure to jot it down. Last year, we got subscription service for a password manager through the same outfit that provides our VPN (virtual private network) service. This password manager has made things a ton easier for me. :)
New means of transportation that doesn't require fuel or tire. I think you call that your two-legs and that's been around since the beginning of time. lol
Have a good weekend, my dear!
I have exactly the same problem with passwords. I get so cross!
ReplyDeleteLove your fill ions. Old passwords need to be permanently erased from my brain as well!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to invent a tasty, filling, nutritious crop that can grow everywhere.
That's a happy cat.
ReplyDeleteGod bless, Mimi.
That cat made me smile. There a multi tasking kitty right there.
ReplyDeleteLove your fill-ins. I'm with you on the passwords. I just got a new laptop a few weeks ago. Oh the passwords. Oh the passwords I had to change.
Thank you for joining the Feline Friday Blog Hop.
Have a purrfect Feline Friday and weekend. Big hug. ♥
Sally makes me laugh. Yes, that is multi tasking. I am finding it hard to remember so many passwords.
ReplyDeleteSally is one smart kitty ~ not wasting any time ~ sweet photo ~ Xo

Cats certainly know how to do things the lazy way! The photo of Sally made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteDarling smartee pants kitty! And should I wave my magic wand to make #4 come true? Would be nice fer sure!
ReplyDeleteI have to have all my passwords in a file, I could never keep track of them. Then Hubs tries to go onto a site, resets the password, forgets what he reset it to and the next time I try to go there,I can't get in.
ReplyDeleteThose were good answers and Sally really is quite the cutie!
ReplyDeleteSally is adorable. Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers.
ReplyDeleteI agree with #4. And I bet you sing better than I do. :) Have a nice weekend. XO
What's this about passwords expiring and needing to be changed? I've never heard of that. Not for my home stuff anyway. Back when I was working we had to have a password to sign in to the checkout and that needed changing every three months which was pretty stupid in my opinion. I never understood why. Here at home I still use the passwords I began with.
