Subject: Bad news thread.

Written By: JamieMcBain on 07/14/09 at 1:13 pm

I figure that this would be a great, to post any bad news, for example..... loved ones who are in the hospital or sick, break ups, divorces, you get the idea....

So, what does everyone else think?

Subject: Re: Bad news thread.

I will go first......

First, the good news, our oldest cat, Bubbles, is due anytime now.

Now for the bad news....

We are given until the second or third week, of August, to find an altenate place for Bubbles, to raise, her kittens.

It ge's worse....

We are given a choice, for which cat to keep, Bubbles, the oldest cat, and the one who is pregnant, or Pippi, the youngest cat, that we will be keeping.

We are only allowed to own one pet.

So, it's kind of like Sophie's Choice......... but with cats.

Ah that sucks Jamie!  Hope you find a good home for your cat/kittens.  I'd taken them, if my two already weren't driving me up a wall lately.  Even though I'm known as crazy.cat.lady.1987 on Facebook, I guess I'm not *that* crazy.  (not yet anyway) :D

My Wife (is way too young) but has arthritis and or Lupus. That sucks. But she can still function, on most days.
Some days I have to help her get dressed, carry heavy things, squeeze toothpaste out of a tube, open can and bottles, close bottles, open heavy doors and the list goes on.

Sorry to hear that. As Arthritis and Lupus are closely related, doctor's can't really be 100% sure which one she has, or both. She can still work, but has accumulated some sick days. So when she even feels "90%" good, she cherishes those days.

A friend of my mom's and the friend's husband were arrested Monday.  The husband allegedly raped a 13-year-old girl and my mom's friend filmed it.  It turns out they'd been taking pictures of their young daughter naked and also another young girl that was a neighbor of ours.  It just makes me sick.  I feel so bad for those kids.  The oldest son is just a freshman in high school and the daughter is between 4 to 6 years younger then him, so it just makes me heartsick for the kids.

My mum also had lupus.  It took a few years before they decided it was that and not arthritis.

The doc's are still going back and forth with my wife. From reading about both, I have diagnosed her with Lupus. Doc's still giving her meds for Arthritis.  Guess we have to be patient.

I saw a chipmunk get hit by a car this evening, although his poor little body wasn't on the road when I drove back that way coming home from the library.  Maybe he survived and was just stunned.

I was going to move his little body off the road if I saw him on the way back (I had already made my turn about a block away, when I had noticed him trying to cross about a block away from me.)  It looks like he was almost gonna make it.  I didn't see any little dead animals when I came back through, so maybe he lived (or didn't actually get hit, but was pushed aside by the aerodynamics of the car...)  :-\\

I'm not really sure what comfort I could have given a chipmunk anyway.   :( :-[  He might have bitten me if I tried to hold his little paw.
