My computer started coming apart today. Quite literally. It's a miracle I was able to put it together enough (no techie I) to work.
I'll try to stop by as much as I can until I can (hopefully) get it fixed.
Love and hugs.
Still "Fickles" to my friends.

It's so much more of a problem these days with how much we use them for communication and interaction. Hope you can get it fixed soon.

This is a mix of sad and funny, in a roll your eyes sort of way...
I had to euthanize a cat yesterday, kidney failure and some mass in the lungs, just in bad shape after a long life and I wasn't awfully upset. So I'm handed the consent form to sign and along with consenting to euthanize there was "I acknowledge that I understand the process can not be reversed". Trying not to laugh, because it was a solemn occasion, but I really wanted to ask what prompted them to include that on the form.
Holy Cats of Egypt!

Aw FC, and also... um yes... I wonder how other people reacted to something so absurd in the face of something so solemn!

Sorry Cramey. I understand that it was not unexpected but I am sure you will still miss your feline friend.
As for the phrase, yeah, pretty incongruous (is that the right word?). Unfortunately I can imagine that there might be some who are being a bit less bright or caught up in emotion may suddenly change their minds and in our world to day it seems everyone has to cover their backsides when performing in a professional capacity. Like Ibby I wonder if the staff have experienced others bursting out in laughter, perhaps even shared in the "mix of sand and funny" as you say.

I wonder if that passage is included for when an older pet owner might have to explain euthanasia to a child or grandchild. But apart from that, I've got nothing. Goodbye, sweet kitty.

Hope you can get it fixed soon. indeed, hope it gets fixed soon Annfie We'll leave a light on for you, A.H. (Or a flag flying.) Thanks, all. Your good wishes brought me luck. It works fine, and I was advised that it would stay okay as long as I treat it with extra care.

Oh Sarky. So sorry. I've been wondering if you had any more news. From what I've read ductal cancer usually means it hasn't spread elsewhere yet. Does this mean that the growth on her liver was benign? Still praying for you both.

Yeah it seems the growth on her liver was a byproduct of what was happening to the bile ducts. Mom has a 2nd doctor's appointment planned along with the chemo to get a second opinion. They mentioned her numbers were drastically down compared to when she was in the hospital, even though they hadn't begun any treatment for her so maybe the 2nd opinion might have different news. I don't know.

Hoping the second opinion gives better news. My thoughts are with you.

Moving on to the weather: Temps have rocketed up here into the 110-120 F range.  We had three days of drenching cool rain last week, so that's some consolation. However, every time I hear some yob the next block over already shooting off their damn fireworks, I just want to die. Gets on NextDoor and yowls: "Are you pea-brained jaggoffs TRYING to burn down the whole neighborhood?! What the bloody hell is WRONG WITH YOU?!?!" I really hope we get some serious rain between now and the Fourth, otherwise I'll be writing to you all from a tent somewhere in the Yukon.

The stress with my mom must be getting to me. I have a stomach bug and need to stay home from work today. I woke up feeling achey and nauseous and was genuinely scared I had the Delta variant. The COVID test was negative, thank God, but I can't take chances. I work at Yankee Stadium AND I know her immune system will be shot due to the chemo.

Indeed. Take some time off, it's a shock all around. And too much stress weakens the immune system.
