So sorry Stephanie

crossing my fingers, Hil

and ION , all about my cat, he confuses me. I know the end isn't far away,but this morning, I thought it wasn't very far. I went home for lunch , toook him out in the sunfor a bit, then brought him back in. less than a minute later he was scratching at the door to go out. Where is the energy comming from. Not from food or water

I'm 49, shouldn't the cramps be getting easier?

Not for me, they're not. Lucky me! I have it all! Advanced age, cramping, hot flashes, zits, too many or not enough periods... it is so exciting and delightful to be a woman of a certain age. Apparently this is normal and nothing to worry about, according to actual medical consultation.

Sorry to hear about all the sick old pets. It's not easy even when all you are doing is reading about it on the screen. At least they don't fear the future as we humans are wont to do, so the ones who managed to depart without medical assistance were not especially freaked out as their lives dwindled away.

Perhaps I'm weird, but some of the last memories of my pets are my favorites, because it seemed that we communicated lovingly and deeply while there was still time to be together.

In Katie's-horrible-neighbor-news: I've discovered he was asked to leave the community garden because he was not getting along with others and had a reputation of inappropriate behavior. Not only that, the woman I talked to flatly refused to give me a garden consultation - the chance of running into him is unacceptable.

And today, I got a letter from management stating that I "can not use crates for plant stands." DH and I think, NOW you tell us? Was there some way we were supposed to know that, after 12 years of having a stack of milk crates sitting in the driveway? Amazing how it always turns out we have done another bad thing.

Stunned right now.

Just got home and was dreading checking my email, so I decided to take a shower and put it off.

So I sit down and check my sister's facebook postings for today.

WOW!I just talked to Mom and she is feeling so much better for two reasons.One, medication is working for her severe cold, and two, Ray became alert and even ate, plus, is doing some talking and joking!

Can I get a second helping of that Buffista ~ma? We could have them both running a marathon inside of six weeks.

Crossing my fingers that things continue in this direction.

That's great, DCJ!

Daniel, that is WONDERFUL news.

t cranks up the ~ma to MAX ~MA

That's great, Daniel.

So glad they're doing better, Daniel! Wow!

Daniel, that is great news! I hope they both continue improving.

That is awesome news!

That's great, Daniel!
