Ok that made me tear up. Internet hugs for you :) I'm glad people stepped in, it makes me so happy when they can be unexpectedly wonderful.

I remember my preschool teacher playing this on a record in the late 80's/early 90's! I love Oscar the Grouch and I still remember the words :)

She looked just like your Sweet Mags except mine had longer hair, the M on the forehead was the very same :) Give her hugs! (And extra pets in case she is my little love reincarnated some how)

Aw! My parents had a kitty just like that before me and my sister were born, and she was there to grow up with us. Her name was Maggie, she was the best cat ever. I can totally understand the feeling of being ok alone for the rest of my life vs. feeling terrified of it. I'm still trying to feel it all out. Anyway,…

Ok you win. He sounds so fab, he always seemed like it but to hear it confirms it (say "it" again). Definitely miss this awesome man in the world.

Oh I love to hear that! I would love to meet her one day and so love to hear she's wonderful

Love it. My heart melted!

For the love of Zeus that is so awesome

"Hairy McPorno" I love it!

What a peanut! Such a sweet face, plus tiny little feet and hands! Thank you for letting us bask in the adorableness!

Drinking vodka tonics, enjoying a new(ish?) show called "Booze Traveler" on Travel (like "Three Sheets" + "Anthony Bourdain" (in that he seems to go off the beaten path)) and seeing whether or not I'll be awake until midnight. Hope 2015 is better than 2014 because I could really use a great year!

I'm sorry I've no solutions but here's some hugging kittehs. I know I've felt the same way (29 year old female singleton). I don't know if I'll end up with this wonderful man I have in my head or if I'll spend my days alone with my pug(s) forever. I only know to keep moving forward. It sounds great that you are…

Oh, what a squish! She is so cute and looks very sweet and lovable. I bet you are both so grateful for each other :)

So glad for you and wishing you the very best! I live on my own with my little dog and I love it, but I don't get very lonely (except this time of year but we'll skip that). I agree with what others have said, take time to enjoy what you like to do and take care of you. That can be hard but remember how important you…

I hope you feel better soon!

It's not super scary but definitely freaked me out and made me feel odd, still does. I've had experiences with a sort of sleep paralysis where I know (or think) I am asleep and I feel someone or something next to my bed. It doesn't always feel malevolent but when it does, it is weird. When I lived in a condo with my…

I've had lots of dreams about family and friends who have passed away and I always feel as if I've truly interacted with them. One of the people who appear over and over again is a family friend who died in an accident a few years ago. He was a father, husband, grandfather and just one of the best people I've ever met…

I'm going very simple but I'm looking forward to it. I bought a pretty short black dress (that I can definitely wear again), black and purple striped tights and a pointy hat to be a witch. I got my pug some wings and she'll be my bat sidekick :D

Just signed back up for online dating, after being off and on the past few years. I'm pretty introverted and I don't have the greatest self-esteem so this was a tough decision for me. I really want to meet someone and had a little luck last year meeting a boyfriend that lasted a few months. Anyway, not really looking…

Right on. I think of my little pug and remember she was abandoned before, I can't do that again. And I will now give her all the squishes whether she wants them or not
