mcdrago Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 M'Lady....I feel your pain. Several years ago, I watched in horror as a beta fish choked and died right in front of me. It wasn't until later I learned that the plant that sat in the water the he lived in was poisonious. I cryed for an hour over that silly fish. I swore I would never have another pet. So what happened? During a severe rainstorm 3 years ago, a baby kitten lay dying in our backyard....crying out for someone to save him. When my wife could take the cries no longer, she begged me to bring him in. I told her, that if I did, he could never go back. That she would be responsible for feeding, cleaning and taking care of him. She agreed and then I went and fetched in the dripping, almost dead kitten. He looked like a drowned rat. He could barely hold his head up to eat from a saucer of food that we had on hand when my sister tried to save another one the night before. He licked the food up and we knew he would live. He did and now who takes care of this beast? Me! Of course I grew to love the little monster and even though I know in my heart that sooner or later he will die, I will love him until he does. He thinks I am a great big kitty and grooms my beard with his tongue every morning....purring like a diesel truck! I am so whipped!
Black Syren Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 Thanks mcdrago..I know he is but a turtle and I still have my fur people to love..I have two dogs..but Toodles the Turtle had a great character and had a fascination for shiny things. He loved my rings and would follow mymy hand and often would take food from my fingers. I HATE death... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)
Capt. Sterling Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 LadyB, I'm ok for work now, and carrying around a 40 pound tent didnt hurt me this weekend. I had some help but for the most part I put it up twice at the faire and twice at home to dry it out. My shoulder twinges but mostly ok. Hey Lady if ye need help, we'll be there... our women are great at pitching tents while the men watch...

Capt. Sterling Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Well we won't be wearing bells, the jingling sound will be the shackles we sport in order to arrest all those wee ones you corrupt!

Red Cat Jenny Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 I feel like a hot bubble bath and a glass of champagne with a raspberry in it. No phones No internet No snail mail Do not disturb.... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...

BriarRose Kildare Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Looking forward to the weekend....glad it is over the hump day. Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all. The Dimension of Time is only a doorway to open. A Time Traveler I am and a Lover of Delights whatever they may be. There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.
roytheodd Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Apprehensive. Got my Fugawees last night and they're too tight in every way. I'm concerned they won't have a fit for my really wide feet.
Merrydeath Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 asking for another favor or two.. good thoughts Monday and Tuesday, if possible. I hate having tests run and then waiting! thank you to everyone...

Hester Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Tad drunk. Best wishes for good results and relief from your worries, Merry.
Christine Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Trying really hard to not get sick. It's been such a long time I caught a cold. I can't even remember the last time I had one. Somehow I always avoided it while everyone around me got it. Well, I guess the law of averages is catching up to me. The one co-worker got really sick with the cold. I started with just a scratchy sore throat on Saturday. By Sunday I had a dry cough to go with it. I've been drinking only water, hell, that's all I pretty much drink anyway. I've been doing the airborne, I've been spraying my throat with those vick's sprays, taking ricolas for the pain, gargling with salt water. The cough this morning now is starting to get that sicky smell. Ugh! *drinks another airborne* I can still breathe normally tho, no stuffiness or runny nose. Damn, I really don't want this to get worse. Here's the sucky part, I'm off to work soon while dealing with this, ugh! Because of the one girl being sick, the other one worked a double this weekend. They didn't call me in only because I'm working right on thru the weekend to cover that girl's vacation coming up. I hope the day goes by quickly, I'm feeling a bit run down and want to stay in bed.
