OT - Saw the doctor by
CN
The orthopedist - about the increasing pain. He took several x-rays and
gave me the bad news. The cervical fusion at C6-C7 didn't completely fuse,
and C5 is "very eroded". He said we could do the very expensive rounds of
tests that would lead up to a second surgery or I could live like this...

[OT] A Flood Under My House by
Pat[_2_]
Something's busted down there.... Dave had noticed a small amount of water
on the concrete floor yesterday but we couldn't figure out where it was
coming from.
Tonight I slithered into the crawl space to try and locate the source of the
sound of water flowing in the pipes. Nothing was visibly...

Casting for cats by
Bobcat
For the last several weeks my Special Lady has been visiting her
brother and sister-in-law in New Zealand, and in her absence our cats
have kept me company. As you know, cats are quirky creatures and they
can put strange ideas in your head. Here's an example. This morning I
was thinking of the late...

OT - update on my dad by
Cheryl
The doctor has opted to not continue chemo, and is starting radiation next
week. Dr thinks the chemo has shrunk the mass as much as it's going to at
this point. They put in a feeding tube, but haven't shown my parents how to
use it. I know how to use it for a cat, but I'm not sticking my nose...

3 little black and white Teeny Weeny Itty bitty kitties arrived about
3 hours ago and we have a very proud mum! Not sure of sexes yet as I

"Dipstick" is an 8 month old girl cat who got herself pregnant. She
was found by one of my friends farm collies, soaking wet and
bewildered, under a bush near one of the roads across the farm. Rob,

I think he likes tormenting Senyah by
Mark Edwards
Little Boy has a habit of walking across the top of our flat-panel TV. He
invariably steps on the channel or power buttons. Senyah is the TV watcher
in the family, so I can tell when he is doing this by Senyah's strident
shouts of "No! Quit it! Little Booooy!"
Tonight, I called out to him from...

ago. LITTLE DEVILS

When I got up in the night, Waffles was on the foot of the bed. He stayed
there when I got up, but got down while I was up. When I woke up this
morning, he jumped onto the bed from the windowsill. He came to me for some
skritching, and after a little bit, He laid partway across me for several...

Arrrrgh! They're still here! (OT) by
jmcquown[_2_]
Please allow me a moment (yet again) to rant/vent.
The rain on Wednesday and really bad storms all day Thursday conspired
against us moving any furniture out of my mother's house. The man who was
going to have his employees help us load the truck is a house painter by
trade. Obviously they...

I need a candle... by
jmcquown[_2_]
A very dear elderly friend whom I've known for over 10 years lost her cat on
3/7. Being down here, I didn't know about it until I got a phone call from
someone else last night. Tandoora was an elderly kitty and she died on
March 7th, 2009. I'd like to light a belated candle.
My friend has...

Gray Kitty Update - 4 Apr by
Steve Touchstone[_3_]
Well, as expected, GK's convalescence is turning into a long drawn out
thing. His appetite has returned, and he has been gaining some weight.
He's up to about two and a half of the Friskies pouches, which is
almost exactly the one ounce per pound recommended on the package.
He's gained a couple...

I'm just watching a TV game show, "1 vs 100". They've just
selected a new contestant, who has said that if she wins tonight
(up to £150,000!!!), she'll buy her three cats "the best moggy

Dante is excited by
Kreisleriana[_2_]
Like some cats, Dante has a very low "poof" threshhold. It doesn't take
much to make his tail go "POOF!" When I came home from Florida, he was
asleep, and I went over to him. He opened his eyes, saw me, and POOF!!
He has a toy he paeticularly loves, his little turtle. It has special

Dilated pupils by
[email protected]
Mine, that is. I just came back from an eye exam, and they always put
drops in to dilate your pupils, to check for glaucoma. As a result,
bright lights hurt my eyes and a dark room feels normal and comfortable.
In fact, I could see really well in the dark corridor inside my work
building, after...

Basho update by

We gave Basho sub-q fluids for the first time today. It was not pleasant
for him or us... we felt terrible as he was clearly in pain. I have no
idea if I did it wrong, when the tech did it on Saturday, Basho didn't
even flinch. I hope it's because we were at the vet's, so he was not in

Tax Tales (Off-Topic) by

When I had the business in the past (now dead), I had to pay a
professional to do all the weird stuff that is required in terms of

and I'm ashamed I owe the tax person over $600 (she's a friend, so she
