Sorry to hear about that. Maybe they will find your friend and the others with only minor injuries.

Doubt it - it's been three days, and all four missing people were in the shed which exploded, then was engulfed in fire and collapsed inwards. Just heard one body has been found so far, so not much hope - but miracles can happen.

Sorry to hear of that tragedy, Terry. Hopefully your friend wasn't in the area at the time.
That makes my problem seem a little small, but still heartbreaking in a sense.
My cat gave birth to five little babies last Sunday, four good sized babies and a little runt. Wednesday morning, woke up to find she had accidently smothered a Tuxedo baby and later that day, one of the Tabbys stopped nursing. I went into rescue mode and commenced bottle feedings and visits to the bet to give the little Tabby girl additional fluids. The Vet was honest and said the little girl wouldn't last a day, but "Camilla" (named after the Camilla of Roman legend), made it until this morning, where she quietly succumbed to her failing health in spite of her will to live.
The first two kittens that delivered are growing like weeds and the runt is still tenacious as ever, but has remained the size of a mouse.
I find it interesting that of all of life's nonsense I have had to endure over the years, the passing of a tiny kitten just crushes me more than anything.

Wow... And I was gonna complain about driving in traffic for over an hour to get to an air museum that was ultimately closed. 1st world problem when considering the fragility of life in the small helpless ones...

No matter how short the time, they become a part of our lives so the loss is just as great. My condolences.

Went to the pool for swim, banged my head against the end of the pool doing back stroke, my swimming goggles broke and the cloths locker combination failed, with my clothes in it. And now my neck and shoulders hurt. Bit of a sh!t day.
Small fry compared to your news Terry and Dave, you have my thoughts.

Sorry to hear of all this bad news Guys....
I was just informed, by his son Nour, that one of our own Phillip Medard passed away on July 11th after a long illness. Forgive me as I have forgotten his "handle" as after we first met on here we almost exclusively maintained contact via personal e-mail. A resident of France, he was a great friend of mine and we bonded over history, aviation, religion and kits for many years. He seemed to know just about everyone in France that was connected to either aviation book publishing or model production.
Your friendship and generosity will be missed my brother. Rest in peace.

Damn shame !

Seems like an awful lot of real bad news here lately. My thoughts are with all you guys. It makes my hernia operation this morning seem kind of unimportant, especially since it went so well.

It is strange, I agree. I cried over the passing of my favorite dog. I have never cried about the death of my own father. I guess it is all relative...(so to speak) A small creature that relies on us for day to day sustenance, and rewards that with companionship and love,.. Well, they are special. A puppy or kitten that dies before they have that chance,... That has always hurt me. Crowbar had two, both in trouble at the start, we tried, but could only get one to breathe. She is a joy! Little Boston!

I agree...they are incredibly special and I am glad you were able to save one!
Sadly, the tiny Tuxedo kitten (who was named Mouse) passed away bery early Tuesday morning. I had taken him to the vetinary hospital Monday morning and they did everything they could. They were amazed at how much of a fight he could put up for such a tiny creature - he was only 2 ounces. He really started to respond to the tube feedings and special formula, but during his sleep, he simply passed on.
Out of the five kittens, only two remain, which happen to be the first two delivered. I also find it ironic, that a year ago, I rescued three kittens: two Tuxedoes and a Tabby (which are doing excellent, the foster Mom kept them!) and from this litter, we lost two Tuxedos and a Tabby.
Here's little Mouse after a feeding and shortly before his trip to the Hospital:

He had love, that is the important thing. I am curious. I am not a "cat" person, and have never been around them, I have always heard that a cats genitals were not apparent like a dog's are. Forgive my ignorance, but how do you tell?

Lazy a$$ co-workers. One in particular that is part time, spends half his day B.S.'ing and playing solitaire on his computer, then when he does work it's only on one piece of equipment and nothing else. Now he has set what he used to work on all the time on my workbench expecting me to do it when I am already swamped.

When I was in Italy, it was fairly warm and very humid, too.
But, I was in Italy!

Well, I'm in Minnesota and it's hot and humid. Did I mention I was in Minnesota, land of 150 degree temperature fluctuations (even without Climate change). Just why my ancestors picked this infernal place to settle down I don't know!!!
