Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.
However, now I realize Churchmouse loves pets....shipping overseas?
Really, Churchmouse, will you be okay without a kitten to love?
Maybe Jeannegibbs will bake a kitten cake for all of us? Or for Mina's birthday.
MsMadge, What makes a momentous birthday? Age? oh, I think she will be just 40, or 50 at the most.
I don't know what a Tunnel of Fudge cake is but I definitely want one!
On my birthday,Mother used to always make me a Tunnel of Fudge cake and my brother a strawberry cake and my other brother a pinapple upside down cake but her last few years,we all had DQ ice cream cakes.Any cake is good to me....
8 weeks past their birthdate is the date they will be ready, imo.
Mmmm cake.
Every time Jeannegibbs posts I get hungry for a piece of her cakes LOL
As caregivers or someone who has lost their loved one,
does anyone even remember HOW to celebrate their own birthday?
I hope so....
Maybe one of Lu's new kitties would be the perfect present
Thank you! A victory today, finally, a victory!
Unless, maybe, there really is some universal karmic balance which is altered by compassion felt, no matter who does the feeling. Could be. I guess. I'm not a very literal believer in any spiritual system so I wouldn't recommend relying on this idea.
If you can't call anyone else about the person in trouble, can you call the person and keep her/him talking? Or a stream of texts? Just getting them through to the morning is good first aid if you can do it.
There is a peace which surpasses all understanding. So I will have some of that peace now.
This is something that once heard, anyone may not be able to get it off their mind. I am having thoughts that some things may best be left unspoken to protect the hearer. Kind of like when the news reports things that really get one's ire up! It is difficult to not take up that cause and march with protestors, walk marathons to support research to find a cure, etc. So often, I now turn off the news.
Then, isn't there advice through the ages about not speaking of evil?
I will have to go look that up. I always thought of myself as a fighter for what is right, now that fight has got up and went. Hoping it is temporary.
Not trying to be mysterious here, so will leave that topic alone.
Besides that...MsMadge once advised that I try to do only two things, so I am practicing getting good at limiting what I do for others outside of hubs and I.
Still, there is an extra umbrella in the car that I want to give to a needy person.
Just passed by one today....as I could not possibly do that at the time, and it started to rain.
There will be no help for the person, I am sure of it.
Then, unusual for him, he was trying to fix me. (probably so I could get my mind back and drive safely home.) He recommended a jamba juice, and we sat in the parking lot awhile.
He has a few days off, I am so grateful for less stress.
Cats never want to say "NO" and they don't need any gum to communicate that!
Luckylu, Can I have that gum link? Lol, NOT. So funny....
Good thing humans can't get pregnant right away. Can you imagine? I guess the difference with humans is women can just say no. I understand it's a little different in the animal kingdom.
Just one piece unlocks the dialogue between you and your pet.The directions for use are:For enhanced communication with your feline friends,apply directly to the hole located between your nose and your chin.Do not overuse product!You only need a whisker!May feel the urge to stalk mice and birds,chase loose threads,lick plastic bags or walk on jigsaw puzzles.You may experience increased fear of vacume cleaners,be abnormally suspicious of any new object or visitor and go bats#it crazy if anyone tries to rub your stomach.If you cannot decide whether to stay in or go out,reduce dosage.
Tomorrow,I will have a talk with the Father~
In keeping with a bit of "poo humor" often reported on this thread....
Luckylu, Did you get a whiff yet?
It's gonna be ok, your cat is not sick, and not dying, and no one has snuck in and used her cat litter leaving that huge sample!
These reminders are wearing me out, remembering how much work it really was to have those little kittens in our home, as hubs just kept taking pictures!
Whew!
Flashback.....
He is coming by for a reason and it is not to pay support!
You are so nice, thinking of allowing him in to meet his offspring?
Your momma cat may run off with him! Hate to be negative here.....
Read this, I looked it up:
"How soon after delivering kittens can the mother cat get pregnant"??
"The answer is – cats can get pregnant again immediately. Domestic cats usually reach sexual maturity (puberty) between five to 12 months, at which time they experience their first estrus."
"The adult cat is seasonally polyestrus, cycling repeatedly (about every two to three weeks) throughout the breeding season (mid-January to August), unless interrupted by pregnancy or illness. Once they have kittens, they can go right back in this cycle and become pregnant again. "
"I'd recommend keeping her in while she is nursing and having her spayed as soon as she is done nursing."
"Best of luck!
Signed by a veterinarian."
Oh and also Lucky...........if you spot the Father again tell him mthly child support payments too.............
