Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Consuela, this sounds awful. Make sure you take care of yourself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would like Popeye's! I miss the one that used to be close to my parents' house.

My job just changed our slogan, and I'm all thrown off!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Consuela, I'm so sorry, the whole situation sounds incredibly stressful.

Sox, welcome to Brooklyn!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Did they not consult you on that, Jesse? Seems like an oversight.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Just found on a spreadsheet "Current Sales Rep, Jim Crow"

Wouldn't you go by James if that were you? Or Jimmy or J.?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

My job just changed our slogan, and I'm all thrown off!

But did they write a song?

I know, right? I just saw it in the newsletter!

But did they write a song?

They should!

msbelle, seems to me anyone who named their kid Jim Crow did it on purpose.

Ouch, sorry to hear that things are declining so fast, Consuela.

Yesterday my best friend told me they think his dad is on the final downward slope. They discontinued his Parkinson's meds (he's at Stage 5), and although that pretty much removes any mobility they found that it also made him more lucid, and eliminated his hallucinations and behavioral problems. He seems to have made his peace with the approaching end. I was able to reassure him that based on experience with my dad, I'd definitely choose improved mental function over treating the physical symptoms in his shoes. It's not doing you any good to have greater muscle control if you're not in your right mind and have to be restrained to avoid hurting yourself.

Ann, that's a ferret.

More likely J. Middlename.

Indeed.

After talking with my brother last night, the goal is safety and happiness rather than actual improvements in her health.

Thanks everyone for the support. Yesterday was just too much. Of course, today I have a really long to-do list of calls relating to my folks, when I should really be job-hunting.
