Ah KK - I feel for you. And with you not up and about - couldn't you call someone, fire brigade, sheriff or whatever is available? I am certain this is an emergency as the worries interfer with your recouperation.

And my washing machine just broke down, great timing when you have two little ones who throw up every half hour, grrrrr.

Oh poor thing! I hope the kids get better soon and that the washing machine will come to the rescue! Good luck!

Fingers crossed for kk.

I'm familiar with cats dissappearing for days at a time, but she's never done it, she;s a neutered female. certainly some kind of violence happened, I just don't know what. the best I can hope for is she is laying low licking her wounds. the pup just checked in again with me... nothing.

I'm just gonna go cry for awhile

Coyotes, believe or not, have become a problem where my parents live in Southwest Florida because of over development. They've been known to run up and steal small dogs as their owners are walking them.

I'm praying that your kitten is okay and just living the high life with a couple of her buds somewhere and will be home soon. Do call in some friends though, KK, so that you're not tempted to stress your knee. Sending hugs your way.

I feel your pain! There is nothing worse than having the kids sick at the same time, especially the illnesses that involve the stomach and intestines. I hope everyone mends quickly and the repair person hurries over to fix your washer. I go nuts when mine is out of commission even for a day. Sending hugs to you, too!

I just thank God we're in a position to say "yah, come on over."

I feel for those youngsters that have no family to turn to when they stumble.

Xanex. .25 Since it does have a tendency to put me to sleep, I'd better not while I'm watching the little one.

My doctor's office scheduled my surgery for Feb. 10th even though I told them there was a good possibility that I would want to go to the SuperBowl on Feb. 7th . . . in Miami.

Because it took them over a month to coordinate with the assisting doctor and since I REALLY need to get this over with, I'm just going to stick with the scheduled date and forego the SuperBowl.

Hey. . .maybe the Bengals will get there next year and I can go to that one! . . . It could happen. . .

So true. Daughter spent the night at my place last night and we were able to undo at least some of the damage...

Good Luck!

Don't get me started. They scheduled Chris for septoplasty (more repair from that bicycle wreck he had several years ago) for Thursday. Which is January 28th. Which is TWO DAYS before our anniversary. Is he going to feel like doing anything? He says yes, I've been trying not to laugh at his delusion

Xanax is awesome. The sad thing is I can take 4 of those and wash them down with vodka before a plane ride, and I'll still be awake.

They don't knock me out or make me sleepy, but I'm also really strung out

Could? It's a lock! Next year, the Superbowl!

I know, I know, crazy psychiatrist. What a cliche. But hey...

Ugggggggggh! A few weeks ago I applied for an Amazon store card. They needed me to enter my home address to verify. However they didn't ask me for a separate mailing address. The problem is that USPS doesn't deliver mail to my home address! Only to a separate address at the PO Kiosk down the road. I was hoping the Post Office would redirect, but no, it turns out they only do that for packages, not parcel. I have no idea who to contact, and I can't even log in to the section to manage my card until I actually get it!
