What Annoyed You Today? (12 Viewers)

[RabidAlien]

I'm not much of a cat fan, never pretended otherwise. But it still sucks major goatballs that I have to take my wife's elderly (14 yrs) cat (this was her Mom's cat...the last link she really has to her Mom, whom we lost to cancer about five years ago) tomorrow morning to be put to sleep. The cat's liver is pretty much shutting down, she can't keep down food, and pretty much just lays there in a painful daze all day now. The vets can keep her going on IV and syringe-feeding, but there's a certain point where there's no longer any real realistic hope, and its just pure selfishness to keep her going. Putting her to sleep, at this point, is the most humane thing we can do for her.

So. Tomorrow's gonna suck. But no animal, no matter how annoying, deserves to live like this.

...and no animal owner deserves to spend $thousands keeping said animal alive. Sorry RA. It's life man.

Me? Forum members getting off topic and ranting with hate America speech. I'm sick of it.

 

[evangilder]

Sorry to hear it, RA, pets are part of the family, and a 14 year old cat is really old.

I'm with you Matt. What's annoying you, and the personal attacks that some folks launch into when they don't have an argument left.

 

[RabidAlien]

Thanks guys. And I agree, Matt, I totally hate the direction America has gone in these last couple of years....


(the voices in my head made me do that. )

 

[vikingBerserker]

Sorry to hear that RA, (and A-Fricken-Men Matt!)

Me, I agreed to let Event A happen at work ONLY if they give me Event B.

What happens? They let Event A occurs and they'll THINK about letting Event B happen.

As I say, "Nothing is impossible, especially for those that have to do it."

Fanfiction.net and subsequently Fictionpress.com (the site I post stuff to) have been down, with no explained reason before hand. I just hope its not a site hack....

 

[Matt308]

Random affliction of health problems upon upstanding folks. I'm at a loss...

 

[Wayne Little]

Doctor telling me there is no more that can be done to help my Mum's condition....

 

[Njaco]

D@mn Wayne! Real sorry to hear that. My prayers are with you and your family - much!

RA, 14 years is a good long life for a cat and I know how much - regardless of what we may think about our feelings towards them - an animal is a part of the family. I hope it goes well and easy.

on a personal note, my pre-wife's dad is also had the same news like Wayne's - nothing anyone can do except make him comfortable. He's 84 and declining. I'm expecting some very rough times the next few weeks.

Feel for you all, my friends, friends who has become close to me as a family, when one of yours is ill, that means that also one in my family is ill...
My heart, thoughts, wishes goes out to you all!

This sounds like a pretty awful weekend for a lot of people. My thoughts are with all you guys.

I just spent 1/2 the day in the emergency room. 6mm kidney stone. Morphine is a wondrous thing when you're in that kind of pain. I have to see a urologist tomorrow and probably get it removed. Done that before and am NOT looking forward to it AT ALL.

 

[Lucky13]

Sorry to hear that mate! Hope that it goes easier this time and get well soon!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Dam fellas, I'm really sorry to hear that.

Glenn, I've having a drink for you!

 

[T Bolt]

Glenn, I've having a drink for you!

Please do David, I sure can't with all the meds they have me on.

 

[Matt308]

T, don't they zap it with ultrasound? Dearest God tell me they don't make you pass a .24 cal round ball bullet. Please.

 

[T Bolt]

I'll find out tomorrow at the doctor Matt. I think it might be too far down or something to zap it. I had one a few years ago and they had to go up the hard way and get it. I have a feeling this one will be the same way. Not a real pleasant thing to wake up from but at least it's over quick, rather than days and days or pain killers trying to pass it. I'm on Vicodan right now and don't hardly feel it, but it makes me kind of woozy so I can't drive or work.

 

[Airframes]

Hells Teeth! I hope they can do it without too much trouble (for you) mate! Good luck at the Doc's.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Glenn I really feel for you mate, had gallstone problems last year with a host of big bu**ers giving me jip for a couple of months until I had the removed. And yes your right it was a bugger of a week, had to bury the father of my daughters partner on Friday, he had MS for 38 years of which 26 were in a chair with only mouth and one finger movement. Came home from the wake and a phone call tells us a former work friend succumbed to cancer, funeral being Thursday and with poor Wayne's Mum, not a good week.

My "new" furnace we paid 17 grand for is broken. We bought a new central heat and air unit one year and seven days ago and it is not working. We also bought the extended 5 year warranty with it and when we called today to get it fixed they give us "We don't do service calls on Sunday." line. I am so thankful that we don't live in in the Mountains right now becuse I would have had to pay to get it serviced instead of waiting for tomorrow.

Sleet and snow and frozen rain all weekend in Minnesota. Some woman decided I needed an extra "push" on the way to work this morning. Slid right into the back of my truck. Luckily no damage (bumper already had a dent in the spot she said she hit). But was still an eye opener. Have a sore back and neck this morning, but had that when I woke up.
