I am very sorry, askye.
This must be what going mad feels like.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

not your mom's socks.
I'm so sorry Askye. You are a great pet owner and advocate. I'm glad Will could be there and that you got to talk to your parents.

I guess the next step is trying to decide if I want to stay a 1 cat household or take on another cat. My neighbor is moving and is getting rid of one her kittens. But I know that someone may want it.
I think I'm going to watch Dean and see how he does. I'm concerned that without a playmate he'll get bored and be destructive. He already has a bad habit of knocking things off flat surfaces when he's bored. He's broken several glasses that way.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
That is such a personal thing I don't think I can even give meta advice on the decision making process let alone say anything about the decision. I will say that I trust you to make the right decision, whatever it turns out to be.

"Command and control" is a standard term for regulation (and sometimes public investment) in economics. It is kind of a propaganda victory that it became a standard term, but whether I like or not it is a technical term, a term of art. Question: when an entire phrase is a technical term, does it belong in quotes, because the meaning lies in the entire phrase? And because it has a specific meaning in the context of economics. It occurs to me, for example, that "command and control" might mean something very different to a naval officer than it does to an economist.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Compassionately intolerant
askye, I'm so, so sorry for your loss. What a terrible shock.
You are doing the right thing taking care of yourself, and your discernment process will net the right choice for you.
Peace be to you and Maddie's spirit...with a little extra appreciation for Will's support and laying her to her rest.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
