I LOVE this show year 'round, but my favorite episode is the food episode they have annually around the holidays. Heads up - ItÂll be on this Sunday, the 22nd. YC

yeschef - CBS Sunday Morning is my favorite TV show, bar none. It's been "must see" watching in our family for years. In fact we still refer to it as "Kuralt", as in, make sure your friends know not to call during "Kuralt."

I learn something new from watching it every week. And even when they profile a celebrity, or deal with a subject, I'm not crazy about, I usually come away seeing that person or story through a different lens and with more appreciation.

Funny story..my granddaughter happened to be born on a Sunday last March. My daughter wrote the show requesting a tape of it as a keepsake. She wrote that it was probably the first time no one in our family had seen the show since it began airing.

I always love their "Eat, Drink & Be Merry" show. Can't believe it's already that time again! Great of you to think to post.

That's funny, it's kind of a family tradition with us too. There just aren't variety shows of this caliber on TV. I actually get cranky if I miss it, and I'm not a big TV person!

I have a somewhat similar story I have a tiny 8 week old Boston terrier he is only 3 pounds here is my story my little bit started having runny Poo. But no blood he would play as always this was Tuesday so I watched him for the rest of the day he would eat and go drink his water on his own. I woke ip wensday and got my baby in with the vet she took a sample of his Poo and came back to tell me it wasn't enough but that she thought it was parasites so I leave with a three day wormer and and a antibiotic So we come home and he still plays but is starting to sleep a lot so Thursday which is today I woke up and my little bit was just pretty much lying around he will get up and walk just a little bit and play with a toy for maybe a few seconds but today he will not eat or drink anything at all and when I say that I mean it I have tried everything so I called my vet back and told her that I thought he was a lot worse then he was he threw up 2 times today but not runny poo. No poo at all so I take him back in she gives him a shot for throwing up and says he is okay he just needs to rest I asked for a parvo test and she said to me why do one she couldn't treat him any different way then she is already. I'm in tears have been all day this little man is my life. I have been using a syringe to give him water and just a little bit of chicken soup I also uses syrup just a little tiny bit I put it in his mouth to maybe try and keep his blood sugar from dropping like I said he is only 3 pounds so tiny. He is sleeping right kow so I hope more then anything this little booger wakes me chewing on my face.

Cat hurt his leg and now not eating/drinking
Q
Comments (3)
Thank you. I will try the steamy shower thing tonight. I didnt think he was better yesterday. He didnt want to eat or drink. I did get him to eat a little by syringe feeding him. Luckily he started out weighing over 15 pounds so he wasnt a skinny minny to begin with. This morning I woke up and there was a fresh pee spot in the litter box and the cat was back laying down on his blanket. So that was a good sign! My husband brought him to the vet today and she was pleased with how he looked. She was able to massage his foot/joint and commented how 2 days ago he wouldnt even let her touch it. She didnt insist on doing full blood work, but she mentioned it and my husband figured we are in this almost $1,000 already so we might as well. He tested negative for feline leukemia and for something else too, but he didnt remember what. So pretty much we arent sure whats wrong with his paw. She thinks he could just have gotten an infection there, and then the URI flared up because he was stressed out. He's anemic she said, but i guess that doesnt mean the same thing for cats as it does for humans. Overall his bloodwork was good. She thinks he will get better and once he can smell again he should eat. I forgot to mention that he did drink from the regular water bowl this morning too! I am happy he seems to be doing better but I will be happier when he starts eating on his own.

My cat won't eat or drink
Q
Comments (93)
What anguish I read these comments with. My beloved Maine Coon Cat at age ten gradually stopped eating after his requisite vaccinations. He gradually lost a third of his weight. I took him to the vet. Blood work was done. Palpations were done. He stopped eating, or, as far as I could tell, drinking. I was distraught, and, finally, on a weekend took him to the Pet hospital, where he is now. After reading many of these comments, I am very afraid. He is ten years old and we have had him since he was three weeks old. He is laid-back, thoughtful, and has command of much vocabulary. How can we get along without our beloved cat? He is to have an ultrasound tomorrow, and I shudder at what the news might be. . .

Pretty quiet around here this morning. I was up until 2:00 trying to get some gifts done...downloading pics to keychains...7 of them...and of course they all had to be 'individualized'! LOL I am eating an early lunch, then going to take a nap!! We will be off to see movies later this afternoon! =) It has become our Christmas tradition, and I think we all look forward to it! We are not having our Christmas 'Day' until Saturday. Then we will have Caryn, Kalie & Mike and Travis & Jessica here....LOVE when they are all together!!! =)color> Enjoy your day with your kids, Kathleen!!!

Never heard of this show, but it sounds like something I would like to see. What time does it come on?

Goodness, I've been watching it since it came on in 1978 or so. Try to never miss it, and now with DVR, I don't. It's my regular Sunday morning activity. On the east coast it's on at 9AM, it's an hour and a half. There's music, and a "homily", and announcements, and a few other things, and a wonderful benediction at the end. Better than church.

Interesting, momj47. Your description made me do a double take, but spiritually you are right on. This show keeps me in touch with the world I want to be a part of and believe is still out there. Definitely feeds my soul for arts and culture.

Bev, it is on at 8:00 am here at Mountain Central Time. YC

Okay, I think that means it's on at 10:00 in my Central Time Zone so I will be in church and have to DVR which is great since I DVR everything you might say.

Wow - I may have to TIVO this... I have never heard of this show and honestly didn't know there was anything on TV on Sunday mornings except SportsCenter. I sort of presumed it was all infomercials or something......

It's on at 8AM in the central time zone in Texas, I have to remember to set her DVR when I'm down visiting my DD, so I don't miss it. I think it's on at 9AM on the West Coast.

I agree! Love this show. This Sunday will be Bobby Flay and the history of Mac & Cheese.

The only problem... that new FN show 'Alex's Day Off' comes on at 9:30 and it's just too good to miss. And of course, I'm back in the dark ages again.. once they did away with vcr and moved to more techy stuff, my brain said no no no more stuff to learn! Will have to switch back and forth.

Thanks for the heads up, I wouldn't have had the TV on!

I really enjoyed it, even DH watched.

momj47 - I had to chuckle, thinking of your post, when I saw one of the profiles on today's show was actually a priest!

My favorite part of the show was the feature on "Eating for One" with the woman who helped Julia Child market her first cookbook. DH sometimes travels for work and I make a point to make homecooked meals, even though I'm dining alone. Some friends wonder why I bother, and she explained better than I could how soul satisfying, as well as nourishing, it is.

Back to the church analogy...We've always made it a practice to not speak during the nature scenes at the end. My kids sometimes rolled their eyes at this during their teenage years, but I find it touching and amusing that they now follow suit in their own households.

With each segment, I thought this is my favorite, no this is my favorite.

Until the nature scene at the end, which I always loved, I had forgotten that I use to watch most Sundays years ago. This nature scene was timely as just yesterday I was researching cranberry bogs for an activity on a Leaf Peeping trip.

I know it's a good show when DH sits down and joins me. It was fun thinking of a larger GW group enjoying the show "together". I think I have to go hunt down some sliders for lunch! Christine

I loved the cranberry bog. I wonder what its like to be a cranberry farmer.
And since I'm single and have trouble cooking for one I'm definately looking for that book.
And Alton Brown - so nice to see him featured.
