Um, Sophia, "can't pee" is a total veterinary emergency, seriously. As in, she could die before Monday if she really can't pee at all.
Signed, had a kidney stone recently.

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.

Sorry- when I say can't pee, I really mean peeing little bits while looking like she wants to pee more (this is the same thing she did when I took her to the vet 2 weeks ago that seemed to be cleared up-- they said she had a staph infection that was causing swelling and urgency-- so I am pretty sure that missing the partial doses caused her to become inflamed again)
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Vortex!
No police yesterday, so I am calling it a win. mac fully admits there is something that happened on Friday that triggered everything, but he feels he cannot tell me. Hid DS is not coming out until he tells me. he has to learn that the world will not end when he admits something. also, the longer he does not tell, the longer he just internalizes how "bad" he is and he blows up at any little thing because he is staying at this mental and emotional place as seeing himself as this bad kid.
Birthdah Happies Vortex!!
msbelle- mac is so lucky to have you as a mom.
For those of you playing along at home, my cat just peed on my sofa! Yay? It was a lot of pee, but I am pretty sure this sofa is just completely trashed.
Sophia, yeah, that's a 'Yay?' indeed.
msbelle, I was thinking about mac and the DS -- I wonder if he uses the game-playing as a self-calming device? FWIW, I have a big tendency to do that myself with computer solitaire games like Cubis and Bejeweled, so I sympathize.
some of the games calm, but the two that he is obsessed with actually send him into a fairly highly agitated place. He will get frustrated and cry with these games, will sometimes go a day and only speak about them, he will not hold to the time limits of playing, and will pass on FOOD. ijs.

The first summer Emmett got his DS I think he played it close to eighty hours. Apparently you can track how much time you're on.
Sorry, I said "Bad Mac!" He's got a lot to work through.

belle, which games are they? Do you want me to see if Lewis has some recs for games that are similar, but perhaps not as frustrating, for when you're ready to give him the DS back?
And I sympathize with the withholding. I've threatened Nate with dropping the sucker under the wheels of my car and running back and forth over it. I have very little patience for the thing which probably makes me a bad mommy-type.
