Help with Vet Bills for Limited Income Pet Parents, in Particularly, Cats
Shortly after my two elderly cats were diagnosed with CRF, my fiance and I had both lost our jobs the same week. I was very worried about how I was going to be able to provide my cats with the care they needed, so I googled "sick cats no money vet bill help" and found a bunch of organizations that help low-income people get medical care for their ( Read more... ) -
1st birthday
Today is Courage's official first birthday! Of course, I don't know the actual day of his birth because he was a discovered treasure. We had found him August 23rd 2008, two months after Funny-Face joined his brother in Kitty-Heaven. My mom was planning on going to Michigan to visit family and invited Terry and I to share the work & cost of ( Read more... ) -
Peace on the Net!
We finally have second computer! Now I don't have to put up with Terry constantly bugging me to look at eBay whenever I get going on a project. I suspect that most of the time he bugged me to look at eBay was just an excuse to get me away from the computer because he'd be on eBay for five minutes, if that, then find me in the living room. He isn' ( Read more... ) -
Dentist
I went to the dentist yesterday and ended up having a tooth pulled; a molar no less. The big hole from the missing tooth sucks but at least it is back far enough to where it won't show when I smile. That tooth has been worked on so much, it finally just fell apart. It is funny because I normally am not one to get queasy over things like blood, ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: You Might Be Surprised to Hear...
My former co-workers from the plant I worked at before it shut down would more than likely be shocked that I have been sober for six years. I don't think any of them ever saw me not on something.

Trying to Find a Parts Car
I spent all day trying to find a '60 Valiant parts car; the weather is so nice out, pretty soon we will be able to start working on the cars again. All we have for the Valiant right now is the new front end. I did run across one that is for sale and it bummed me right out. This car is perfect! It is unmolested and ready to drive; the owner ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Chatty
Neither, I hate my cell phone. For starters, I'm deaf in one ear and losing the hearing in the other. most times, I have to try to figure out what people are saying to me over a high pitched squeal in the ear that kind of works. Second, because I have a cell phone, people expect me to answer it the second they call, then get mad at me when I ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: If Animals Could Talk
I'd ask my kitty, Courage, why is he so paranoid of people other than me and "Dad"? When he first came home with us, he was obssessed with staring out the patio door and as soon as he saw a person, didn't matter how far away they were, he'd run and hide under the bed. He has gotten a little better...now he only runs and hides if they are moving ( Read more... ) -
The Naughty Boys- Tuxedo and Funny-Face
I'd better explain some of the later pictures of Tuxedo. I lost both Tuxedo and his brother, Funny-Face, to Chronic Renal Failure otherwise called CRF. It is a common ailment for elderly cats and although there is no cure for it, the progression of it can be slowed down greatly. The earlier CRF is caught, the better it is for your cat, which is ( Read more... )
