So, I just saw gas around here at $1.92 a gallon  ;D

Dude! I paid 1.97 a gallon for gas!

It was amazing.

Had one of my cats put to sleep today. She had spent the last four years in a 3x5 cage except when I could be around and alert enough to let her out. Her hyper-thyroid issue would cause her to pee and scratch on everything which is how the cage came about. The guilt of keeping her in that little cage finally overcame the guilt of having her put to sleep. It's a decision I've really struggled with over the last year or so.

I'm going to spread her ashes outside so she can finally run free again.

My condolences on your cat.
All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

Awwww geez. I'm so sorry. There's just something about having animals around. I don't know if it's because I grew up on a farm (sorta) and just lived with animals but... they do wrap around your heart.

I think you made the right decision to have George put to sleep.She's not suffering anymore. Still... sorry that your kitty isn't around anymore.

*Deep Hugs*

Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

I'm sorry to hear about your cat Brugdor. My heart felt condolences.

I've been soooooo busy since I started working. It's kind of hard to find any online time when I'm working 7-5 m-f. It's a fun job though and I like the ppl I work with. I've barely had time to cook a decent meal, but I somehow manage to pull it off every night. It's just sometimes it's served on paper plates. ;D
My dog Uno died of a massive heart attack last Saturday night. It was hard on all of us, but he was such a great dog. He had a heart of gold and loved everyone. He was fine one minute, going from one person in the house to the next to get behind his ear scratched, and then he walked in the living room and dropped dead from a heart attack. We were in disbelied for 2 days. Our other dog (his mother) wanders around sometimes, but for the most part accepted it. We're keeping a watchful eye on her b/c she's 12 yrs. old now, and we can't bare to lose another on so soon. I told the kids NO MORE PETS! I just don't want to go through this again. It's too heart breaking.

Geez... that's harsh! =(

Sorry to hear about the dog dying and presumably at a young age.

Thank you and I'm very sorry for your loss as well.  :(

Recovering from Steroid injections in my back.

It's to reduce the inflamations from the injury. The procedure seems fairly painless and my back feels better but I'm in lalalala land from the meds.

So it's sitting on the couch and playing Fallout today.

Does this mean we'll see you testifying in front of Congress soon?  :worried:

Heh, I was pretty sure but I actually had to go check that one to verify. +5 points for obscurity.  ;)

i had to write a 'personal myth' for my poetry class last week. the way the class works is: write poem, over weekend everyone looks at poem, come back and writer reads poem, everyone else critiques.

i wrote an abstract version of the village. apparently we're some sort of nerdy convention on a tropical beach.
In case of rapture, can I have your car?
