My family and friends have all been very sympathetic about Lola, and I expressed gratitude at all the appropriate places, but what I really felt was anger. I just want my damn dog back, ya know ( Read more... )

There have been so many thoughts and emotions running through my head regarding what happened to Lola. Anything I post here is sure to fail at conveying what a very special presence she was in my life, and I just wasn't sure I wanted anything less than a perfect tribute to her ( Read more... )

I just wanted to say thanks to all who sent sympathies about my baby Lola. I want to write a nice long post about her, but haven't been able to do it quite yet. Soon...

I especially want to thank my daughter, linsaynic25, who wrote a beautiful post about Lola. She helped me through this more than anyway else did -- I love you, sweetie ( Read more... )

I lost my baby Lola yesterday. My heart just aches right now. I know that there are worst things in the world, but we should have had ten more years together. She was truly my faithful companion and I loved her so, so much.

I finally went to the pharmacy and, biting the bullet, went to the window for the too-dangerous-to-stock-on-regular-shelves Sudafed with ephedrine. You have to ( Read more... )

I've lost two of the six pounds I gained in September and, more importantly, I've started exercising again. I can never believe how much better I feel when I'm getting some physical exercise. It must be a brain chemical thing because when I QUIT exercising for more than a day or so, I dooooon't waaaaant to exerciiiiiiise...ever again. And then I ( Read more... )

I am so fucking sick of hearing the "rarely heard" Clarence Thomas whenever I turn on the damn TV. What, he can't bother to raise his voice regarding issues brought before the Court, but he can blather on and on now that he's got a book coming out? Give me a damn break! I remember the confirmation hearings, I remember Anita Hill's allegations, I ( Read more... )
