Yup, give over to scraggly beard for a bit. Save the angst. Scruff for a week or so.
Hard lesson learned.

It's a very big challenge.
Shower, shaving, eating. Getting dressed etc. ADLs become a major challenge.
Strong advice:
Prep meals before surgery. One serving that you can reheat and carry with one hand, use one utensil on.

Very true. I put nothing beyond House's reach.

That would just be the beginning.

Very glad House won't be alone on Halloween! I shudder to think what it would do without some human restraint.
Glad to hear you and Mr. A are getting some rest time out of state.

If you are a Texan being investigated for your connections to "radical leftist" groups, I am interested in representing you against harassment by Ken Paxton's office.

Robert Downen @robertdownen.bsky.social · 22h

Citing the “martyrdom” of Charlie Kirk, Texas AG Ken Paxton says his office is pursuing sweeping undercover investigations into “leftist” groups. “To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."

"Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people," said Attorney General Paxton. "The martyrdom of Charlie Kirk marks a turning point in America.
There can be no compromise with those who want us dead. To that end, I have directed my office to continue its efforts to identify, investigate, and infiltrate these leftist terror cells. To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."
The radical Left has incubated an environment where political violence is not only justified but celebrated and praised. In July, nearly two dozen armed leftists connected to various Texas-based Antifa-like groups ambushed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") facility in Alvarado, Texas. On September 10, 2025, a leftist assassin connected to the radical transgender movement murdered Charlie Kirk because of Kirk's bold support for truth, love of country, and unshakable faith. Two weeks later, another deranged leftist opened fire at an ICE facility in Dallas.
President Donald Trump has officially designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and instructed his administration to "utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa." Building on President Trump's bold actions, Attorney General Paxton has instructed his office to initiate sweeping investigations into radical leftist organizations engaged in or providing support to those performing political violence.

Ok hang on, maybe I'm not reading this right but does this indicate that the "consequences occurred" language WASN'T actually in Link's alt-text?

Screenshot of page from link in QT's showing Link's post which says the alt-text was "Charlie Kirk sitting in a white t-shirt that says freedom on it. "
Without the "consequences occurred" line.

Yup, exactly.
And the whole change from dyed red eggs being buried for fertility, turning into the easter bunny. And the Catholic philosophers who were into numerology, and liking the 6 months between dob and dod. Balancing solstice and equinox.
