I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

C for C......love the idea of the hymn you sing......our family just does prayers -- all denominations as we gather sometimes in a circle for it going through a couple of rooms. People sitting at the big table and sometimes....one or two others set up.

now leaving to go feed the town's homeless kitties.

(((((( Miss Boo )))) and ((((( Cloe ))))) too.

GG, it found me to be a "tender hearted progressive." Then said this profile is associated with an animal rights activist. 100% correct!

Was never that crazy about the turkey. The oyster dressing, now, that's different - or the sweet potato casserole or apple salad. But agree - can never have too much pumpkin pie - or pumpkin anything....

Something of interest that I likely knew at one time and forgot.

Happy thanksgiving to all the Canadians. Hope you are having a great day. Cfc love the hymn idea. We don't have anything like it here because of course harvest is in about April around Easter.

Watching with interest this weeks antics in Washington.

Just got back from the vet, and the news is not good. First, the easy stuff. Chloe has an ear infection, which I will treat for 2 weeks. But the vet feels that she does have a brain tumor. This is because the Horner's Syndrome has not resolved; she is losing a lot of weight; and she still displays weird cognitive issues. After the ear infection has cleared up, and assuming she still shows signs of Horner's Syndrome, the vet wants to start her on steroids. The vet said that tumors in the brain don't usually spread, but cause problems as they grow and push on the brain. Steroids can often reduce the growth. I'm also going to start giving her a lot of yummy foods to try and fatten her up.

So that's where things stand. Ugh. :-(

Thanks Jackie. Yes, the vet said some dogs can live a long time with a brain tumor that is treated with steroids. She will be 16 next month, so I'm not sure about that, but I will take whatever time I am given. After being on this board and having cancer myself, this is very, very real and familiar territory.

Thank you Alison! It is hard.

Thanks alexandria! She's peacefully sleeping right now. Loooong at the vet.

Blue, love the graphics. After a long afternoon of work, or the mods, my tool-bar has come home from vacation. I did just install a bunch of new updates to my system. Seems like something helped. While waiting for them all to go in......watched parts of a couple of segments of NBC. Somewhat depressing. Either that or the lunatic fringe is getting to me a bit.

Really glad that certain groups ( for now ) are well in the minority. Got to hand it to them, a bit anyhow. Staring into the eyes of a crowd or t.v. camera and spouting some of that insane material with total belief. It is mind boggling.

Anyway still was sounding mighty iffy that anything much would happen today. Nice if it could happen but some are pretty desperate I think for a face-saving.

Kam, your baby is so much younger than mine. She needs lots more time, and it looks like she's getting it, YAY! Don't know how Chloe's ear infection is related to her overall condition, but it might have been causing some of the whining and barking lately. My vet is a lot like yours. She calls me all the time to check on Chloe.

love and hugs to all the ailing fur babies. Can't imagine life without them.
