Many people form such deep affection for our non-human companions that is is the same kind of feelings and attachment that we form with other humans. The hurt at their loss is devastatingly the same.

Ollie was your constant and faithful companion. You and only you have a say in how you honor Ollie’s memory (not to mention how you spend your own money). Virtual hugs from across the pond, Maya.

Thank you Maya! You’ve been a wonderful friend here.

Love like yours and Ollie’s makes the world go round, sweet Maya, and worth everything it takes to preserve. I wish you could appoint some of us your troll guards for a while so we could lay into them while you heal! For every nosy troll there are so many more genuine loving vibes coming your way, sorry you even have…

I’m glad Ollie is back with you sweetheart

Thanks Maya--and please, please take care of yourself.

Ha! Like you shouldn’t do whatever the hell you want with YOUR money?  Foolish trolls. 

I’m so sorry about your dad, but for what it’s worth I think you have the right idea about the wedding--weddings should celebrate the people we love. My advice, such as it is, is to ask your dad’s input.  It might give him something happy to think about, and it’s a loving thing.  A friend of mine got married in her…

Fuuuuck. I need to get this out.

Congratulations. :) 10lbs 3oz. Wow. I was 9lbs 5oz and looked like a cinder block.

I......have no words. What business is it of anyone except yourself how you spend your money? Your priorities are yours alone and everyone who thinks otherwise needs to STFU.

Oh shit, Maya, those people really are insult to injury,aren’t they? nd they’re also full of shit. There are too many people out there who want to diminish love and to take away what gives us strength. It’s evil.

Congrats Kender!

Will someone please take me out of the greys? I’ve been a regular commenter since 2008 (starred in two different systems) and I’ve never harrassed anyone or posted porny or violent images. please...

I am typing this one-handed because I HAD A BABY!!!

Hi Maya, thank you for your kind words! Sending you positive healing thoughts. ❤️

Thank you, Maya! It will your turn next, I just know it.

I’m sorry about your sweet Ollie. It makes perfect sense to have him cremated to bring him home if that’s what your heart needs, whatever the cost of it vs. other things you need. Cookers and whatever else will always be available, but the cremation is only available now, and you can keep him forever. Other stuff can…

What’s cooking chez vous? I haven’t been up to much lately, I’ve been so busy at work this week, to the point where I had a dream where I thought: Maybe if I pretend to be dead, people will leave me alone. I did make oatmeal cookies, with chocolate instead of raisins, and I’ve eaten too many of them. Inspired by…

Spent the day at the pumpkin patch (bought twelve) and then went to get some more Halloween decorations and ffs both places I went already had Christmas stuff on sale. For the love of Satan, that is fucking unacceptable!
