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.

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!

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.

"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. :-)

You and I both! I'm so ready for a change of jobs... and my employer just
announced 1000 more layoffs this month! Rumour has it this Friday. In
theory, my job is very safe, but you never know. 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*
