Your stout sounds good & I haven’t had that in ages. But, I’m hitting the diet ginger ale. I’m too miserable to even consider alcohol. I had to put MY first kitty to sleep earlier this evening here on the farm. Her kidneys went kaput after being tested healthy just over 3 weeks ago. She started getting sick on the 4th…

That is a heartbreaker.

Yeah, I’m with ya! Crazy family wants to heap it at me — go. I can take it, I am strong and my shoulders are broad. Crazy family wanted to hurt my nana for their own half-assed freak show entertainment — oh hell no!

He's a handsome boy! Lucky Oliver and Lucky you! =^..^=

Glad you are feeling better! Yay — Pom-tinis!

If that’s what’s it takes to get an adult cat adopted, I question the long term commitment of those seeking to take in the “novelty kitty". Not good on either count.

Yeah, no. Just don’t ever do this. A reputable groomer would have declined. I’m sure there will be some BS story when they get blowback, but come the hell on people. Trimming is one thing, this is a very different thing.

McConnell, Bevin & Paul — we are the horse state!

Well, the triad of evil is complete now. He can join McConnell & Paul as they rage war against women, families, kids, students, poors — hell, anyone & everyone they can't cuddle up to for money or influence (or Bibles)!

They build them because they can. But, make no mistake — someone that is MENTALLY prepped will shoot them all in the head and take their paradise.

Just more proof that there is NO reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Really?

Thanks. I loved Halloween when the niecer was small. I used to even dress up the my dogs (shepards) and we’d have a theme in my yard. Not always scary. Wild West. Australia (she was a kangaroo that year, on a mini-trampoline — almost like a float). Tropical Madness (the dogs were red and white grapes that year!).

I was a firefighter/paramedic. Driving and pumping a fire truck is one of the best parts. Tho I never really got to drive the engine truck during an emergency. 🚒

Thanks. The 1st one was really bad, with 5 disc herniations and whiplash. This one has a whiplash element on top of what they are calling a L brachial plexus injury from the seat belt.

It’s tough. Outside of work (and I’ve always kept work and friends somewhat separate) — what to do?

I don’t have any words of wisdom. But, damn.

Gee, still puny? I’m so sorry. I wish you could take something a bit more robust for that cough (maybe some dilaudid cough syrup). Sounds like you — in the words of Huey Lewis and the News — 🎶 wanna new drug 🎶. Cause damn. You have felt bad long enough. You need some rest to get well.

When my niece was four we dressed her up like a cowgirl for Halloween — yeehaw!

It is beyond disturbing. Heartbreaking for all that it represents, actually.

I don’t get it either. Your situation is heartbreaking. How could the fact that you are a boy make you immune to the heartbreak of not having your mom?
