You are so right - I know it. I left out that I am raising her son, now 12, and I want to keep together what’s left of our family. It ain't perfect but I do try to reap something hopeful. When I see that things are going south during special occasions, I remove my nephew - junk food and a movie in bed - while I try to…

I do not drink or smoke or do anything that might get me through the holidays. My sister does the turkey etc. By the time it’s done, she is completely blotto and mouthy and acting the motherfucking fool. I am therefore the peacekeeper, the teeth gritter and, most specifically, the only person in the entire house who…

So sweet! So glossy! Little face and little mouth....awwww. I am in instant lurve.

I just ordered a set. Thanks to you, my beloved chair has a fighting chance. I really appreciate your advice.

Thanks for the explanation - I just might try to pin Malcolm down and see if I can manage it. He tends to go after this one vintage chair in my living room and strategically does the shredding when I am not at home. Something’s got to give!

How in god's name do you get them on? My guy freaks out when i just attempt to trim his nails - hissing and everything. Your cat must be of more serene stuff!

I just noticed the pedicure - amazing!

This one reminds me of Marilyn Monroe's photo that was Playboy's first cover. The pose.

And when they turn their ears inside out while washing and it doesn't flip back. I die!

And a gorgeous belleh tuft it is! Malcolm is very tuft-y all over. Sigh!

You don’t have to hint around, ya know.

Good points. I will pay whatever necessary to take care of my Malcolm (who is the same shade of gunmetal as Cinderblock) but, boy, it can add up. 

Right? Yearly shots for my guy are a fortune so I can’t imagine what this type of thing costs.

I saw a nephrologist for the 1st time in September and am scheduled to see him again next month; he has ordered an MRI and bloodwork. My psychiatrist was very remiss in not checking for lithium levels - one blood test over 42 months. After a lithium overdose and physical collapse in January, emergency room tests…

I was diagnosed with kidney damage/low function - 18% function at last testing - probably due to diabetes and long-term lithium use. I am taking several medications to hopefully reverse all of this. My question is: what are the chances that this reversal will happen? I don't know if I have to consider dialysis and…

This is very timely - my desktop is about a decade old and I do all I can to care for it. The other day, my monitor died. That is, it powered on but the screen remains blank. Do you think I need to replace the monitor or is there some sort of diagnostic I can perform to see if I can "fix" it? I am a poor so a big…

I like the way you think! I have several participants in mind already. I was a lowly washer of dicks and anuses (anii?) just hours ago and now I am being catapulted into potential stardom! How do we make this happen?

That’s quite possible - I call them hospital habitués. By the way, the anal piercing didn't stay in place at all times; I think it's meant for dress up and special occasions. You know, like spending several hours in the fetal position in a drafty ER while getting your asshole stitched up. That's pretty special.

You talked me into it. So, the Prince Albert was a regular Prince Albert (that is: ridiculous and dangerous); the anal piercing resembled a huge safety pin that spanned the anus, stretching the opening. My best guess (‘cause these morons weren’t saying much) is that the Prince tried to thrust past the Pin, only to get…

I accept! I have zillions of incidents to relate and will do so for money. How can you resist?
