I am so sorry scrappy. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Have I posted this before? [link] Upsode-down coffee cups, pots, etc.
Oh, you so had a hairless/ hair impaired cat before, tommy! In any case, it's sort of a hazard of some longhairs even when they are healthy. You can always shave/ clip her butt.
Good luck! (snorking heartily. As someone victim to too much poo considering she doesn't have kids.)
Martha Stewart had a segment on her show today about medicating pets.

Yeah, I was thinking of getting a hairless or Rex-ish kitty, but then this poor kitty was not getting along with her housemate kitty Einstein (who had not inherited his namesake's pacific tendencies)....
My brother wants me to help with my niece's memorial service, which is Saturday. He'd like me to suggest some some readings, hopefully of authors/books she liked. Anyone know any passages from The Kite Runner or Basketball Diaries which might work? Or anything from Anne Frank other than "People are basically good"?
Some amazingly beautiful watches: [link]
Except all the diamonds make them too bling-ish for my tastes....
Most. Distrubing. Teddy Bear. Ever.
I don't find it disturbing at all... not sure what all the fuss is about.
Anne Frank:
And in the evening, when I lie in bed and end my prayers with the words, "I thank you, God, for all that is good and dear and beautiful," I am filled with joy. Then I think about "the good" of going into hiding, of my health and with my whole being of the "dearness" of Peter, of that which is still embryonic and impressionable and which neither of us dare to name or touch, of that which will come sometimes; love, the future, happiness and of "the beauty" which exists in the world; the world, nature, beauty and all, all that is exquisite and fine.
I don't think then of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains. This is one of the things that Mummy and I are so entirely different about. Her counsel when one feels melancholy is "Think of all the misery in the world and be thankful that you are not sharing in it!" My advice is: "Go outside, to the fields, enjoy nature and the sunshine, go out and try to recapture happiness in yourself and in God. Think of all the beauty that's still left in and around you and be happy!"
Scrappy, my mom recently read and loved The Kite Runner. Want me to ask her? She's also a Stephen Minister, so I bet she could pick something really appropriate.
