(((Connie & Hub))) I'm so sorry.

Good luck, Sox, I have no consulting skills to offer but I will be glad to cheer you on while you look.

Kids are dressed but I need to get dressed to go to the gym. The good thing about this place is that I need to schedule the childcare so it forces me to get up and get in there because I have an appointment.

I wish the speech therapy place would call me back so I can get Owen in here.

Now, if my kid(s) were bored to the point of not being challenged and were causing mischief or disrupting class, then I'd really have to think about it. Maybe not a full double promotion, but going up a grade for reading and math. My elementary school did that with a lot of kids (myself included) and it seemed to work out better in the short and long run.

I'm with you. Besides, learning to deal with being bored is a good life skill.

(psst, it isn't juliana's birthday, it's her self-identified New Year's Day. see: Beep Me.)

(Psst -- it's not juliana's birthday. t edit Ha -- inevitable x-post! )

Oh, connie. I didn't realize Koogie was 18. What a good long life for a cat. Hugs to you and DH.

Happy New Juliana Year!

Aw, Connie. I'm sorry for your loss and glad you got to give him a quiet and loving send-off.

Here's to a wonderful "new year" for you, brave and beautiful juliana!

connie, I'm so sorry. One of my coworker's dogs died this morning so it's already been a sad pet day. I'm glad your Koogie died with you.

Safe passage, Koogie.

Yeah, a good long run. For years now we've been calling him a lich-cat, because he lost his last tooth a good four years ago, and for two years he had a weird open wound on his flank that never healed and never got infected, and his fur was wearing off all the sharp points of his skeleton--of which there were many.

He was the Velveteen Cat, but he started out Real.
