wrote: I'd like to apologize to Cheryl for any (unintentional) hurt I may have caused (I've already emailed her privately to apologize and ask her to come back to the group). I noticed that in some of the responses to Cheryl's note some others in the group seemed to be agreeing with her about me (unless I'm being too paranoid). If I have given offense to anyone else, I'd like to apologize for that also. I think the is the nicest, kindest, most sensitive and thoughtful group of people on earth and I would do anything to keep from causing dissension here or hurting anyone's feelings. If this is the case, please let me know either by posting to the group or emailing me privately, and I will unsubscribe myself from the group - no hard feelings. Hugs, CatNipped Don't you dare drop out of the group just because someone in the group had a chip on their shoulder. I was not in rpca when Eric was killed, but I sent Cheryl purrs and hugs when she posted that it was his birthday or the date of his death. I sincerely doubt that there is anyone in this group or any other group who has not lost a loved one, be it from an accident or natural causes. I, for one, lost my DH and best friend of 46 years suddenly from a pulmonary thrombosis after a relatively minor surgery. Yes, you do grieve when you've lost someone, but after a period of time you have to get on with your life. Most funeral homes have support groups to help you through the grieving process. Ok, it's time to get off the soapbox, and say again DON'T LEAVE THE GROUP because of this! -- Nan and the furkids A wise man talks because he has something to say; a fool talks because he has to say something. |

Hey Victor! Here's a cat story.......(this is a follow-up to the first "Darla" story I posted a few years ago. Didn't have internet at the time of this incident, and have since moved into a new house - but none the less, it's a true story. "DARLA, YOU'VE BEEN A VERY VERY BUSY LITTLE GIRL" snip ROTFL Great story. I have one mighty hunter, Rocky, one (Sammy) who sounds like your Louie (catches bugs, but no lizards round here) and one (LB) who is clueless. I think the only thing LB has ever caught is the newspaper when I lay it on the floor. When Sammy first started chasing grasshoppers, I watched her carry one over to LB, and LB ran when the 'hopper jumped. I've told the story before about when Rocky pinned two blue jays to the ground at the same time. Sammy doesn't know birds as prey, thankfully, since she's known from birth that paying to much attention to my cockatiels gets her in trouble. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |

"CatNipped" had some very interesting things
to say about Apology: Let's drop the drama and keep the cat stories going, ok? Oh, I can't be a drama queen any more!!?? ; LOL, again, thanks Victor. The turns are short, since there are so many people around here. You'll get another shot at drama eventually. :-) -- "The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL |

Purrs to all those who will no longer have a job. Oh no! We'll be sending purrs that you keep your job for as long as you want it, and purrs to those who are laid off that they'll find a better job soon. The reason I don't complain too loudly is that right now any job is better than no job!! pain (either from the fibromyalgia, sore muscles, or - what I think is probably the case - I have another kidney stone), so I'm feeling a bit depressed myself. Oh my goodness, I had no idea you were ill. Lots of healing purrs going your way. Don't feel depressed (I know, easier said than done). Just remember that you have lots of friends all over the world who are about you. I hope you've sent Pam your snail address for the card exchange. It's lots of fun! I promise to send some of Rufous' fur in the envelope... I absolutely hate, loathe, and despise people who get all weepy about minor problems and yet have found myself going home in tears Friday, Monday and Tuesday. I think it's just a combination of frustration about my job, being tired from working non-stop (no breaks even for lunch), and feeling lousy. I started taking extra vitamins and gave myself a stern lecture, so hopefully I'll start bucking up and quit whining. I don't want to be overly dramatic and I honestly don't want people to rush to ask me to stay, I just wanted to be sure I'm not causing problems for the group - the absolute last thing I want to do. So, OK, thanks for the honest answer, Victor. In all the years I've been posting on this group (hmmm... at least 5 years, might be more) we've never asked anyone to leave and we always beg folks to stay. That's the only real thing that was bothering me - that I might have, even inadvertently, caused someone to leave the group. This group is about the best support anyone could ask for and someone who is suffering a major loss and depression *NEEDS* that kind of support, so Cheryl's leaving really upset me. Oh, I can't be a drama queen any more!!?? ; LOL, again, thanks Victor. I'm glad you took it the way I meant it. The last thing I want is to add to your problems! Oh, I would much rather have honest and loving criticism than dishonest and smarmy @$$ kissing any day of the week - I really do appreciate a needed kick inthe keister. *hugs* -- Victor Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he Email me he Hugs back atcha!
