We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Maria, you can always have all the ~ma you need, and you never need to apologize for asking. It's an infinite resource and one we are happy to give, just as we are happy to see your pixels any time. ~ma to you and your DH and your whole family.
I didn't mark my own posts here, but I have several "canned answers" saved. I use them in various pet care forums, as so many times similar questions crop up. I can email stuff to you.
Well, I started doing my own research last night and everything I'm seeing says go raw + supplements as much as possible.
Is there a specific issue in mind?
My parents have eight cats, many of whom barf on a daily basis, one has diabetes, and one has been diagnosed with IBD.
do you just want to hunt for the best possible nutrition within the limits of your budget?
This is what I want to do. My cats are okay, and I'm currently giving them half "good" kibble and half "good" canned food, but they are getting old (~11 and ~13) and I'd rather spend more on food than vet visits.

My daughter is totally random. Our most recent exchange:
"Mommy? Do you think that I think you're fat? Cause I don't. Think you're fat."
"Er, thanks, kiddo."

All,
Ginger recommended that I pop my head in here. Here's my post in Natter. If you all have tips, etc. I would appreciate them here or profile addy works as well.
Folks,
on Tuesday I was diagnosed with diabetes. This was not a huge surprise for me on Tuesday because my vision had been getting fucked up for a week.
I am, however, concerned/scared(?) with this diagnosis and I'm going to work my ass off to see if I can get off oral meds after a few weeks/months.
Are there buffistas/os here who have diabetes and can provide advice, tips, links, etc.?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Aw, you people. Thank you. sj, Jilli, Aims, and smonster are 4 more reasons why I love this place.
DH wants to keep it quiet, but I told him I needed to be able to talk to someone other than him. I don't want to take out my anger or frustration or fear on him, because he's already in a bad headspace and thinking about worst case scenarios. Right now I'm trying to be Polly Positive to keep him from falling down the rabbit hole. All of you--and my sister--will keep me from doing the same.

Oh, Maria. t Shakes fist at universe
Here's the the simplest, least scary diagnosis possible. Having been through the hell of waiting to find out, I know what it's like. I kept quoting Sherlock Holmes, "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data."

Maria. I'm so sorry. Fuck cancer with a chainsaw.
Whatever you need, you got. You need to bitch, you need to cry, you need to rage...
Got your back.

Maria, I'm sorry. If you need to rant and wail, I'm in the area.

Dear Powers That Be,
Knock it the FUCK off. Stop treating my people (and me) so poorly right now.

So, should I post some vague (because I can't talk about all the details yet) good news?
