May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

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

Does anyone have a daughter born in March that would appreciate/want a porcelain doll. This was made by Russ is called "Months to Remember: March". No idea why or when this got into my doll collection as a kid.

Looks like this: [link]

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Huh. I'd never considered mixing cereal. I mix a lot of things (fruit, nuts, etc.) into cereal, but not other cereals.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh good lord. I was cautiously optimistic because my cat didn't throw up yesterday, I think (there are corners I haven't checked) and then I get home just now and (gross) she puked blood again AND a chunk of something creepy looking. She's acting OK, so I'm not rushing to the emergency vet, but should I be? Because of course my regular vet is closed tomorrow.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Ugh, Jesse. It's hard to know with cats. If she's acting normal I might wait but mine are extremely vet averse.

Re: cereal, I only have oats and Farina. I may buy some Kelloggs stuff to donate though.

Jesse, I would find the blood concerning, but it sounds like she does that a lot. As long as she's eating and not hunched over, I'd probably give it a day.

Cereal mixing is the main problem in my marriage. My DH mixes. He no longer mixes ALL the cereals without asking, though, after I threw an operatic, melodramatic shitfit about cereal mixing and trust.

You cannot mix In Box!!

It just started last week-ish.

OK, thanks, guys! I am afraid she has cancer or similar Big Problem which I wouldn't actually treat, so I am disinclined to bring her in to the vet, but will call on Monday if she doesn't seem worse tomorrow.

Msbelle, my daughter was born in March.

Jesse, I've been through similar with the cat I had before I moved here. Eventually they decided she had cancer of the intestinal lining or something, but the test to find out for sure was like 500 bucks. Instead of paying for the test we just started the treatment, which was subcutaneous fluids and steroids. And guess what? She made it. She just died of old age this past year.

Thank you, Callaluna -- that's exactly what I was looking to hear!

Good luck to your kitty!
