Bev I can't get on, it says inappropriate for some viewers

Oh Susie Q, my heart just breaks for you and your little love bug Annie.

Like everyone else said, it takes time. You never forget, but the pain does lessen.

I lost my good old boy 2 1/2 years ago and he was always by my side. Not a day or two goes by that I don't think of him, I have his pictures all around.

Hold on tight to you memories, they will carry you through. And Annie too, you are both need each other to lean on!

Getting away to the cabin sounds like a good idea.

The trick with selling the baby stuff is to get sterilised first (as I did )

cotton balls

Totally unecessary!!!

An elderly neighbor in my old neighborhood was having a boot yard sale.

We Brits do have Boot sales but we do it en masse in a field (hundreds of us)

I was wondering the same thing--are we all going nuts???

Past tense - have gone nuts

OK....you guys have to check out

and

Can't wait for Nekkid dinner!!

Bev I can't get on, it says inappropriate for some viewers

Poor Julie - it's for the best

Patti has street cred!!!!! ......in da hood!!!

[Darn210]

cotton balls

Totally unecessary!!!

Says You!!!! You just wait . . . and it will happen soon, now . . . you'll be out and about and it will flash into your mind . . . "Damn, I wish I had a cotton ball!!"

Um, yes, I've been carring them for years and haven't used one, yet . . .

tom . . . haven't the vaguest idea what woodshedding is . . . is that where the kid hides the sax in the woodshed to get out of practicing?

Good Morning Sillies

Had a rough night last night and things are still downhill....not sure where to turn....more info later.

[elye]

Morrrrrning, All!...

things just don't feel.......right any more. Will this go away, quite soon?

Poor Susie....

I remember the pain of that kind of grieving like it was yesterday, when I lost our female standard (now she was NOT SUB-standard, like other specimens I know...), and I just remember trying to take one day at a time, corny as it sounds, like an AA member. I have to admit, though, that it very suddenly got a whole lot better when I brought home a new pup (Gus), and that was two weeks after Zoe had died. I just couldn't stand it, and my mom collected me one day, and out we went to a breeder's.

It absolutely does get easier, Susie....((hugs))...

p.s.

but you know sumfin? Gus's substandard poodle smile and head-tilt makes us LAUGH...............

Do you think he's smiling? Or simply staring quizzically, wondering what it's all about, why he's here, and what the secret of life is?

Tom, the pockets, I don't know what to tell ya. Can you fit tampons in there? because until you can do that, you're just not.......adequate.

Yes, this is a prerequisite if you are dating a pre-menopausal woman. Not that you're likely to be asked to carry her spare around for her, but it certainly sends an impressive first message if you say, "Hey, look, hon...you ever need a spot for an extra tampon, I mean ever....do not hesitate to ask. Check out these pockets..."

My parents also are musical- both are songwriters, and they had a rock band for a long time. Got a little local radio play in Rochester when I was a kid.

Sarah! Fantastic! See if they're on youtube. I wanna see them!

...Mygawd...a British Woodstock....

Do you think he's smiling? Or simply staring quizzically, wondering what it's all about, why he's here, and what the secret of life is?

To me, it looks like he's thinkin' . . . Hey, didja know you got some spirit sprite thingys wee'n in your hair? Seriously, you should do somfin about dem.

[Ridgewalker]

Amanda, let us know.

Emily, nope they're not on youtube. They did a LOT of parties, weddings, bars, etc. My uncle did hear one of their singles on a "Whatever Happened to..." radio show a few years ago, which is kind of astonishing. The band was called Prospect Highway.

Janet, I THEENK "woodshedding" is when you do some hard-core solitary practicing. Is that right, Tom???

Amanda, let us know.

Yes, Amanda. How are we suppose to deluge you with unsolicited, random, and innappropriate advice if we don't know the details?

[nikki-uk]

Says You!!!! You just wait . . . and it will happen soon, now . . . you'll be out and about and it will flash into your mind . . . "Damn, I wish I had a cotton ball!!"

What??, as in ''I simply MUST use those cotton balls and take my make - up off immediately!!''

In my case NOT recommended - the sight of me sans cosmetics may make small children cry

Amanda

GAD!.......if only........afraid NO mind altering drugs though.......just a muddy field ...an extremely ungodly hour for a Sunday......a LOADS of other peoples old tatt

Realtime Ebay....maybe with a burger stand AND a (brace yourselves) a PORTALOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*mutter* <never, ever,ever use a portaloo>

[blueeyedmanda]

Update Time...

So I finally got what I wished I had all along...my coworkers are going to stand behind me and help me all the way..... I had gotten this really new hard study and was having the 2nd thoughts and doubts, and we spent an hour this morning talking about it...they say I am ready for it, they all have faith!

That's great, Amanda

[jerseyangel]

*mutter* <never, ever,ever use a portaloo>

"portaloo"

I'm up to my earballs in wee I found a couple of spots in the corner of the dining room where Allo apparantly relieved himself

No stain, not even damp, and actually no smell.....I caught him sniffing round over there in his "too interested" sort of way , and when I ran my hand over the carpet, I could smell old wee on my hand

So, I'm in the process of treating the whole corner.....

Did I tell you this cat has 3--count 'em 3 litter boxes???? Placed in convenient places and kept immaculate?????

Gawd

[Mtndog]

:lol: GAH!!!!!!!!!!!! Bev, I cannot believe you said PUBES!!!!!!!!! :lol: That word simultaneously makes me crack up, and want to hurl!

And THEN! And THEN I go check out the Nekkid Breakfast and Lunch, and all I can think of is PUBES in the eggs!

i have the SAME reaction- think Monty Python to the tune of the Spam song)- Pubes Pubes Pubes Pubity Pubes!!!!!!!!! Where is that gag emoticon when you NEED it!

We Brits do it en masse in a field (hundreds of us)

Now I know why I like England!!!!!!!!! all sorts of guys that look like Hgh Grant en masse in a field DOING IT!

Good Morning Sillies

Scared me...glad to hear the good news though- you deserve it. Your silly has been sacked too much!

Did I tell you this cat has 3--count 'em 3 litter boxes???? Placed in convenient places and kept immaculate?????

Gawd

OMG- THREE LITTER BOXES? Patti- WHY am I not surprised? You are a riot! But we have sullied you somewhat in these pages. ahh, it's akways the quiet ones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Susie- Still thinking of you. It's so strange, you forget they're not there and then when you realize it and it seems so empty. It will get better!

[Ridgewalker]

I'm up to my earballs in wee

Earballs?

THREE litter boxes, and still there is old wee on the floor? That just HAD to have happened when you hit post # 10,000.

Speaking of body fluids, I wonder how Janet is doing...

Amanda, that's a wonderful development!

[nikki-uk]

That's great, Amanda

Agreed

No stain, not even damp, and actually no smell.....I caught him sniffing round over there in his "too interested" sort of way , and when I ran my hand over the carpet, I could smell old wee on my hand

Are you sure it's Allo and not the lazy previous owner????

Now I know why I like England!!!!!!!!! all sorts of guys that look like Hgh Grant en masse in a field DOING IT!

YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!

[jerseyangel]

Are you sure it's Allo and not the lazy previous owner????

Jeeze Nikki--I never thought of that

[jerseyangel]

OMG- THREE LITTER BOXES? Patti- WHY am I not surprised? You are a riot! But we have sullied you somewhat in these pages. ahh, it's akways the quiet ones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We didn't always have 3--but he's 17 now.....I want to make it as easy as possible for him--and me

[blueeyedmanda]

Oh Guys! I feel almost 100% better again....to feel the support is a feeling that is unimaginable! :)

I am glad I always know I have support from you guys, even if we never met or never do get to meet....which I hope to one day get to meet you guys.

BTW I may be heading to New Orleans next week for work any of you guys around that area?

[Jestgar]

scary loos? Try Poland. Didn't want to touch anything in that little box. And they were cleaned at the end of the day by spraying the little boxes with presumably incredibly toxic chemicals.

My cats don't go far from home - they have to come back inside to go potty...

[elye]

To me, it looks like he's thinkin' . . . Hey, didja know you got some spirit sprite thingys wee'n in your hair? Seriously, you should do somfin about dem.

Janet, you're quite right...I do believe that is what he's thinking...and I do also believe that he speaks with that little impediment....

Emily, nope they're not on youtube. They did a LOT of parties, weddings, bars, etc. My uncle did hear one of their singles on a "Whatever Happened to..." radio show a few years ago, which is kind of astonishing. The band was called Prospect Highway.

Gotta google that...

Realtime Ebay....maybe with a burger stand AND a (brace yourselves) a PORTALOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*mutter* <never, ever,ever use a portaloo>

Oh, gawwwwwwdd...nothing as as HANUS. I go inside a portaloo when I am in absolute agony from holding pee for so long...I am TERRIFIED that it will tip over, for some reason (perhaps because they are free-standing, and my hover technique alters the centre of its gravity). These horrid things are the provided bathrooms in Hell....

Scared me...glad to hear the good news though- you deserve it. Your silly has been sacked too much!

Yes, Amanda! In celebration, keep our brain for the next couple of days!

Are you sure it's Allo and not the lazy previous owner????

Or your husband? Has he been scooting around on said carpet? If so, I'd shift my accusing eye away from poor wee Allo....

[Green12]

Amanda, good news

Or your husband? Has he been scooting around on said carpet? If so, I'd shift my accusing eye away from poor wee Allo....

The men of the house marking their territory?

I don't know cat rituals, but if a male dog smells something that was there before, they feel the need to add some of their own special scent as well

Oh no, port-a-potties, a whole other category of hanus-ity......

[Ridgewalker]

OMG! Porta-potties, yyyyuuuuck!

Once in awhile I work with my Dad if he's working on a Saturday. He's in construction, does finishing work. (Yep, I am no stranger to drywall mud.) The only working bathrooms on these construction site are Porta-potties... used only by MEN. Ugh.

So when I work with him, I take a canister of Clorox wipes with me. As soon as we get there, first thing in the morning, I wipe that thing down. And then clean my hands with Clorox wipes. Since I only go on occasional Saturdays, we're the only ones there, so after that, I know that at least the surfaces I might touch are disinfected.

Horrid. *shudder*

[DingoGirl]

No more talk of little hairs on toilet seats- I can stand wee but not the PUBES! I hate that word so much that in college, my friend Kristin who had a head of very curly dark hair sent me an envelope of it with the word "PUBES!!!!!!!!!!!!" written on the card. gack, gag, blech!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh my gaaaaaaaawd

Is there ANY subject we haven't covered here?????

I lost my good old boy 2 1/2 years ago and he was always by my side. Not a day or two goes by that I don't think of him, I have his pictures all around.

Hold on tight to you memories, they will carry you through. And Annie too, you are both need each other to lean on!

aw Julie, that long ago????? Annie says you REALLY need another one!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't manage without her.......the ONLY time in my entire life I was pet-free was when Cookster died.......I waited six weeks and then got the Stink......it was a TERRIBLE and very lonely six weeks.......

We Brits do have Boot sales but we do it en masse in a field (hundreds of us)

I believe here we call that a swap meet. Only, NONE of the guys are hot or look remotely like Hugh Grant. They can be rather of the toothless and unsavory variety, rather like "carnies" hawking their sullied wares. (well, depends on the town, actually - that's what they're like in THIS ghet-toe)

Do you think he's smiling? Or simply staring quizzically, wondering what it's all about, why he's here, and what the secret of life is?

Oh, Gustavius knows all of that already, doesn't he? looks wisened beyond his years, in a silly, sub-standard poodle-ish way.........and.........

To me, it looks like he's thinkin' . . . Hey, didja know you got some spirit sprite thingys wee'n in your hair? Seriously, you should do somfin about dem.

.....evidently talks like a rapper. :lol:

(this did make me guffaw out loud)

AMANDA!!!!!!! good news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a relief for you.....keep us posted.

PATTI - OMG - yes, could be stale wee, left by previous owners, OR.....Mark really COULD be leaving his mark in the corner......you know, you really DON"T know what he's doing whilst you are asleep.........

[

Oh no, port-a-potties, a whole other category of hanus-ity......

she said hanus-ity.

OMG - must tell you all the story of this extraordinarily POSH suite of porta potties in Monterey - - and I was sicker than hell.......nearly exploded my clostridium difficile explosion in there............. good gawd - I'll tell you all later..........

[Jestgar]

OMG - must tell you all the story of this extraordinarily POSH suite of porta potties in Monterey - - and I was sicker than hell.......nearly exploded my clostridium difficile explosion in there............. good gawd - I'll tell you all later..........

Horrid. *shudder*

and SARAH!!!!!!!!!! Holy Stinking Cesspool Batman.......you must NEVER use a porta-potty on a construction site!!!!!!!!!!!! (or anywhere, for that matter.) ALWAYS find a place to wee outside........men do it, why not us? Surely there is a building or tree to squat behind.......

*gag*
