It’s another crappy day here in the CatBox. Shower Aides are coming, but there will be no grocery delivery from Store to Door. WWWendy is bringing groceries on Saturday instead, so I can go to bed when the aides leave. Poopy Hugs to all!

It’s a really crappy day here in the CatBox. On the plus side, the issue of constipation is now moot. On the minus side, I know this because I headed to the throne thus morning, and I did not make it. Cleaning up me, the sheets, and George was a difficult chore. Happy Hump Day!

It’s a sick day here in the CatBox. I’m producing enough liquids that Republicitis has given way to Republicosis, but my digestive system still isn’t working. When terminal cancer attacks the body the digestive system is one of the first thing that shuts down, and I’m trying to minimize that for as long as I can. As death approaches, I feel afraid. Prayers, please.

It’s another day of feeding myself Mira-Lax and Senna, waiting for the damn dam to burst, so far without success. Have a fine day. Prayers please.

I have severe OIC. The hast time I had it this bad, I had to go to the ER. As there is no blizzard, I hoped it won’t come to that. I’ll keep you posted.

It’s a completely exhausted day here in the CatBox. A Hospice Social worker is coming between 8:30 and 9:00 this morning. When she’s done, I plan to disappear until WWWendy comes tomorrow morning. I hope I can get used to the time change and to methadone. TGIF!

I dislike the words as much as I like the melody. Perhaps the the melody is Democratic and the words are Republican. RESIST the Republican Reich!!

PHP is a programming language used to build websites. We have it at all through our hosting partner, BlueHost. In order to update it, we have to go through Bluehost. During his life, TomCat was the only one who had access to our account there. I (JD) am now the only one. I have been to BlueHost and investigated updating our PHP to 8.3 or even to 8.1. I found instructions to do so - in fact, I found two conflicting sets of instructions. I went through one set of the steps and got the message that Our site could not handle 8.3, but that it had successfully updated to 8.1. I then went back here to see what it looked like. But I couldn't get in - either as an administrator or as a reader. It was just gone. I had to reach BlueHost by phone. It was determined that Politics Plus is in fact not compatible with any version of PHP newer than the one we have. BlueHost therefore uninstalled it for me, and the site came back to normal. Of course, like everyone else, I care about security. But I also am aware that TomCat elected to use different providers for several of the services that BlueHost provides, for instance backups. We are backed up daily - but not by BlueHost. However, out PHP is through Bluehost. I feel that if they are not worried about the older version, I am not going to worry about it. I believe that our security here is all or mostly through WordFence, whom I trust.
