Express your "Boos" here!

[fairy_tale_girl64]

wow i am sorry to hear that too....my prayers are with you and your family.

[fullbloom720]

Thank you devindemel, Bunny, and Fairy. It helps to hear comforting words and know about prayers.. He did live to be nearly 90 and just had typical old age problems, so I'm glad he passed away peacefully.

Today would have been mine and my husband's 4 year anniversary.

My grandfather (my mother's dad) just passed away this morning. I hadn't seen him in eight years, and last my mother saw her own dad was two years ago, so this is very difficult getting through. She's spending time with my grandmother right now.

That's horrible to hear, I'm so sorry for your loss. A close friend of my parents just passed away from lung disease.

And Kris, gosh I'm sorry to hear that... I guess you can start thinking of it as the beginning of your first year of freedom.... if that helps any.

[fairy_tale_girl64]

it gets easier kris just remember marriages don't end cause things are perfect and that helps to remind your self of that....the first several months are the hardest and trust me many times you'll just want to go back to whatever it is you left but as the saying goes...this too will pass

[BunnyRabt]

Yes, it will get better. There were probably some good things in your marriage, and in time it won't hurt to remember those. But from what you've told me this seems like the best thing for you. I was married for 21 years to my son's father, and while he was a good man, our marriage just died. It was hard to get over, even though I was the one who filed. But now I have Art, and we are so much more in tune, and so much closer than my ex and I ever were. So there is hope that you will find a better mate in time.

[krisconcepcion19]

Thanks dl, fairy, and bunny. It is hard but I really think it's for the best and yeah it will just take time.

[fullbloom720]

I'm sorry to hear about your parents' friend, dl. That's very unfortunate.

To kris..I'm sorry to hear about that. Yes, time is good with healing...Hopefully you and I will both heal in time.

[BunnyRabt]

I'm glad you posted that, Fullbloom, because somehow I missed the sentence about dl's parent's friend passing away. I know I would be really sad if some of my parent's friends were to pass on. I've known some of them since I was a little girl. I'm sorry for their loss, and for yours, dl. Lung disease (or lung cancer) takes so many people. That's what we lost my brother to..and he was only 51. Good reason not to smoke.

[fairy_tale_girl64]

yeah i wish i had never picked up cigarettes...i know lung cancer is a horrible death yet...you'd think knowing this it would be easy to quit....but is so addicting..that is why i preach to kids now if i see them smoking...if nothing else maybe it will detour someone else dealing with knowing one day they could have the dilemma i face of knowing i need to quit and just can't do it. sorry to hear of your friends parent dl....

I think my kitty is dying.

She's really really old...we think she may be as old as 18..but we aren't sure. She came as a stray and was already spayed, and a young adult, but we don't know how old for sure. Her name is Kathryn, and for a long time she was an outside kitty because the two Cocker Spaniels I had then wouldn't allow her in the house. So my dad built her a cute little log cabin and we put heat in it all winter for her. She thrived. And then when our dog family changed to the ones we have now, they liked her, so she slowly became an indoor kitty, and mellowed out and was really sweet. She's tiny....just a little bitty grey kitty with peach colored feet. She hasn't eaten anything now for three days, but she is still drinking a little water. She's wheezing when she breathes, and her little sides pull in and out like she's having a hard time. It is just so sad. I don't want to take her to the vet because that will scare her pitifully, but I'm going to call my vet tomorrow and see if she has any suggestions. I probably am not going to like the one she comes up with. I just wish she would go to sleep and not wake up so it would be easy for her.

And I found out today that my oldest friend's significant other of ten years died last night from a pulmonary embolism. She packed up and moved from Indiana to Texas ten years ago for this guy. Met him online, and fell in love. He was a brilliant chemist with lots of patents to his credit. I don't know what she's going to do now...maybe move back to Indiana.

So this hasn't been a very good evening.


Update: Kathryn died peacefully in her little pink bed tonight sometime between 12:30 and 2:00. I checked on her at 12:30 and she raised up her head and mewed at me and went back to sleep. I checked her again at 2:00 and she was gone. Thank goodness I didn't have to have her put down. Although it's very sad, at least she had a long happy life and she didn't suffer terribly at the end and was able to stay home. She was a good kitty for 16 years. I won't get another one.

aw i'm sorry about your kitty bunny. i never had any pets beside fish, but i'm sure it was hard to lose her since you seemed to love her so much.

and not exactly a "boo", but why does our society tend to talk about other people behind their backs?

[volleychick0007]

aw I'm so sorry about you kitty
I had a dog and i know the pain, there like a family member

Boo-my computer is broken and won't work properly leaving me internetless for quite sometime and it is still not working but i am able to get on today but i will not be able to be on and have not been on as much as i would have liked to been lately

[fairy_tale_girl64]

omg bunny i just now saw this post! i am sooooo sorry about your kitty! drake has a cat and loves that baby more than life itself....shaggy has become member of our family but he won't stay in doors...it scares me to death to think what drake will go through if something ever happens to our shaggy...we did try and give him to rick and let him become an indoor cat because drake wanted so much for him to stay indoors but shaggy ran out the door first chance he got..he disappeared for a few days and ended up finding his way back to this house.i was so thankful and we will never try to change him again from here to there or indoors or out...he let us see he didn't take too kindly to the change!

[devindemel]

Im so sorry to hear about your kitty Bunny =(. My fiance just had his cat pass away too.

[BunnyRabt]

Thanks, everyone. It seems strange not having her here at Christmastime. We still hung her stocking up, and she has a special monogrammed ornament on the tree. I find myself thinking it's time to feed Kathryn...then I remember. But, she had a good kitty life, and that's the main thing I guess. Everything changes as the years go by. That's how it has to be...good and bad.

[TNgirl924]

I'm really sorry to hear about your kitty, Bunny. Pets become such a part of the family, and it is so hard when they pass on. We had to put down our dog Lizzie almost 2 years ago, and it was heartbreaking.

[fullbloom720]

I'm so sorry to hear about Kathryn, Bunny! It must be especially hard going through Christmas without her. It's tough losing a pet, especially one who's been with you for so long! You're right, it's at least better that you didn't have to put her to sleep.

i am so mad! i went to a beach blast tonight in south carolina...and it was a much needed fun time....but my brand new LG Scoop was stolen. the police dept has been informed and they are running GPS on it..but now these people have my home phone number and are calling me of course blocking their number. and of course saying ugly stuff to me. we turned off service but they have access to all my friends and family phone numbers. we just got the phones last week when we switched cell phone carriers....

[fairy_tale_girl64]

i waited up all night last night waiting to hear back from the police..cause i called them again when they called me from i am thinking their home phone. to report what they said to me and to see if they had anyway to get the phone records that might show who a number even if the public can't see whose called. and i am still waiting...i called them back again today and they said it would be around 45 mintues before they could call me back. well its been HOURS. i did talk to someone that ran the shows at the lake..they are meeting with the town council tomorrow and are gonna find out who the officer was and see if they can't get them to work harder on finding this person. the biggest deal to me about this is..we just last week switch phone services and its a brand new phone..if i have to replace it...by the time i pay for shipping and handleling and activation of it...i'm looking at spending around 300.00's. i didn't buy insurance cause i never go anywhere typically..and i have never lost a cell phone. and with the kids home all day..we are spending much more money cause its much cheaper for them to eat at school instead of home for every meal. and trying to get school stuff ready for going back to school. we wear uniforms so the kids have to all three have a new set of school clothes..we can't take advantage of summer sales..they can't wear those..and when you go to uniforms i promise you don't find that stuff on sale! they don't have to you know? we have to have them and by the time school starts back..they cut way back on their orders for inventory so you need to have all you want in the beginning

Here's a link to the pictures of the band i took last night if anyones interested in seeing them. the group is The Chairmen of the Board...a legend in the beach music industry...the lead singer has written and sold many songs to other artist..his biggest hit outside of beach music was a song called Patches recorded by Clarence Carter about his life growing up...The general norman johnson use to sing it live and he'd put so much emotion into his songs....well if he sang that song..there wasn't a dry eye in the building! Danny woods started his music career in NYC as a teen trying to make it in the business..he roomed with none other than David Ruffin the best lead singer eventually for the Temptations.
