Nicely stated and logical as well as compassionate.

I thought you meant a pool of small cats, not a small pool of cats.

Very cool, esp. the pasta maker.

But for pancakes I have tried these:

Fun but also not great texture or taste - a batter issue.

Btw, vaping alcohol has its own risks, FYI:

But since it circumvents the stomach the vapors go to tissues not used
to being melted down.

The brain, heart, lungs, etc.

Jill, King of Queens starred Kevin James...but maybe Romano guest starred on the show.

Yeah, you're right Nancy2. It was 'Everybody Loves Raymond'. But Ray
Romano did actually show up on King of Queens a few times. I remember
an episode where Romano took the Kevin James character and Jerry Stiller
to his club to play golf. There was some cross-over.

I guess I'm the only one who can't stand comedies with a laughing
tape. The people you hear laughing are laughing at something else than
what you're watching. Very lame.

Nope, I loathe them. When posters on usenet are talking about them, I
don't know a thing. The last comedy I watched and enjoyed was All in
the Family because it wasn't simply comedy, it also had social
connotations.

Yes, that was good. They also always stated at the start that the show
was recorded in front of a live audience, or something like that. I
also like Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I have never had to have a cat spayed or neutered (Persia and Buffy were
already fixed) at age 2 so I don't know. 21 lbs. sounds heavy to me but
I'm not a vet.

I'm sure it does depend on the cat's frame. Some cats are simply larger
than others. Genetic predisposition.

There have been so many British ones, what is it that they do that
made me completely unable to enjoy NA comedy? With Corrie one can see
the difference, the NA soaps are all about extremely wealthy folk in
contrast to Corries working people. For ages I was able to pick up
Open All Hours on PBS. Maybe later today I will hunt some of them
down, good to have a laugh in winter

Three's company was a copy of a British show, Man About the House.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBWYaLfHw30

The Office started as a British show and ran for quite a while before
an American version was aired on this side of the ocean. It was so much
better that I cannot bear to watch the American copy.

I don't like laugh tracks, either. I wasn't promoting the idea of these
tv shows, just mentioning they got the dog snipped when they didn't know
who owned it.

I loved the latter!
But there's a scene in "Stay tuned" referring to the former to die for...

Both "Das Büro" and "Stromberg" are older than both.

The Office (UK version) was first broadcast in 2001, years before
either of the German series.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stromberg_(TV_series)

Stromberg (German pronunciation: ['?t??mb??k]) is a German television
series which is produced by Brainpool and broadcast on the commercial
television channel ProSieben. The series was proclaimed as a copy of the
BBC series The Office,[1][2] although initially the producers claimed it
was based on a character from a past ProSieben comedy, in spite of many
elements resembling The Office. An "inspired by" credit was given to the
creators of The Office, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, after the
BBC threatened ProSieben with legal action"

when I looked it up.

Shame on me (who loves British TV-series).
