Well, I can't say that my doctor was happy for me to insist on seeing the scan reports and have her interpret them to me. She said " we usually only tell the patient the end result, not have to explain it all" Well, ain't that just too bad. She said the computer was down. I said I'd wait beside...

Persia doesn't usually like people food. It's been unseasonably cool for the last week in South Carolina so I've had the windows open. I've also done what little passes for baking in this house, in that I made cornbread. I had small plate with a wedge of cornbread sitting on the coffee table. ...

I went to the funeral of a local folk singer today: http://www.scotsman.com/news/obituaries/obituary-charlie-strachan-folk-singer-80-1-2293422 His daughter and son-in-law are Fleetwood's...

Please can I have some purrs for my Kotyo, who is in the vet hospital right now? The vet says he has a hole in his trachea, and when he breathes in air is going under his skin instead of going into his lungs. They have put in a tube into his side which is supposed to let the air escape, and he...

Has now been mentioned. It didn't go down a bundle. I was doing some pruning in my garden this morning, when I saw the man of the house peeping round the end of it into my garden, I don't think he knew I was there. I've been waiting for the opportunity to speak to him as he is rarely there...

We've done it before but not for some time. Boyfriend's nicknames all begin with B When he comes downstairs from his nap, I say "Hi, Babe" If he is up and around and comes to me, I call him Boykin. When he is asleep on my lap, I stroke him and call him "my little Budlet" Don't ask me why. No...

Dot's hearing is not what it used to be. It's a fairly subtle change, but I can tell. I have to raise my voice a little louder when calling her. I have to honk the squeaker on the loofa toys to let her know when it's time for spanks. She doesn't come running when I unscrew the treats jar - I have...

My neighbor has gone out of town to visit with her daughter, SIL and grandkids. She asked me to cat-sit again. No problem. Schwartzie & Fedders are sweet cats. There's an added wrinkle this time: they each have to eat different kinds of prescription food. Schwartzie gets Hill's k/d while...

was it you that was concerned about cleaning cat urine? if so it just occurred to me that the enzyme cleaner i used when i had carpet was a product called "get serious" the dh says the cost is so serious it causes a heart event but it does work well, Lee

My big boy is 13 today and just as feisty as ever. Right now he is sleeping on my lap. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44� 15' N - Elevation 1580')

This time from my e-mail friend Bob Tarte in Michigan. Bob and I have been virtual friends since about 2001 when we met on a poultry group. This is his 3rd book - I think Cheryl read his 2nd one as she posted here to ask if I was the person he mentioned in his "I'd like to thank..part - I...

I am sorry to say that today we helped Limo cross the bridge. She has been battling cancer of the throat and it had spread. Me and mom talked. We decide it was time if we wait longer it could be bad for her. My vet helped make the crossing as quick and painless as possible. I am going to...

I wanted to ask a question on the health+behav group but there are no articles. Has everyone left that group? Maybe someone here can help me. I'm looking for a product, so I'm not whether people outside this country can help, but here goes: I need a UV light. (Or is it a black light? Are they...

Is anyone here using the eternal-september server? It's been really flaky all day, up and down - sometimes I can get on it, and other times, the attempt to connect fails. Does anyone know what's going on with it? Thanks! -- Joyce We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth

I have just spent a day in bed with a fever, occasionally throwing up (something like cruise ship virus, I guess). Most of the time Murphy has been curled up beside me. Murphy doesn't usually want a lot of contact with people, but when Marion's been ill he's done the same for her. A hot water...
