    nettie, NEVER feel insecure because you don't understand what is going on here because nobody understands.  They just pretend to and make up the rest.  Like sassy trying to follow the bread crumbs.  There WERE NO crumbs!  Just balls. Happy 

    And now 4 has given us not only blue ones but also coffee flavored balls!  I almost dropped mine (coffee) when I saw that. Then I was concerned about heat transfer from the saucer to his...well, you know...balls.  However, he looks ENTIRELY comfortable.  The coffee must be for someone else though because he would spill if he tried to drink from that position.  Now to figure out how to make a guy serve me coffee like that!

    Thank you for the card smartstuff.  Yes that is my life.  Well except for the funny sofa, dress and hair.

    ok... back to those human sized hamster things... what I want to know is if you can take 'em onto water without sinking, then how the hell do you breathe in it?  If you can breathe, then I want one. That looks better than a treadmill.  Imagine walking around in the rain. That'd be fun!

    Some time ago someone asked me about my recurrence.  I've forgotten who did that.  PM me and I'll be happy to answer questions.  Sorry that I'm a maroon and forgot who it was.  Thanks!

    4sewwhat - I have this weird reaction to getting a hair or an eggshell in my mouth... if that happens, I am totally DONE with whatever I am drinking or eating.

    So what's the first thing I think of when I see that cup of coffee? Right! Yecchhhh!!!! 

    Guess you know where my brain ISN'T these days!!!!

    phgraham, I think Cami is rubbing off on all of us. Could have sworn maroon was a color. Just as with Cami, I understood what you said.

    Maroon as in lost on an island without a boat?

    Blessings, I get that same reaction to a hair or eggshell or even a piece of gristle (ewe, hate that one). Somehow I was willing to make an exception for caffeine!

    Smaarty!  Ha, I just out my pj's back on for the day!!  I am still working though :0(

    Have been working long hours training in a new area of hospice, day off today, opened email for the 1st time in days and got your PM Sassy, but I called Mary's family too late.....     Very sad to hear about her passing, and sad that I wasn't in touch to help her family. All posters might not agree with me, but I need a safe place to say what I'm feeling today: as a hospice nurse, sometimes a small part of me feels some relief when I know someone dear is released from pain and fear, and that is how I feel about our Mary right now.

    Didn't know where to post this so went trolling around looking for Chevy, Cammi and Sassy and I found youse. Yer all owlettes , now, so glad I found you.

    Hi Shells!

    Sounds like you have been working too hard.  I hope DH is still well and on the straight and narrow too!

    I know what you mean about Mary.  It is so sad that she was taken from this earth far too soon and that her family was robbed of her.  

    We watched our neighbor fight a hard battle with the beast (vaginal, not breast, but still ugly). She did well,for a long time and made it longer than MD Anderson gave her.  My wish and prayer for her towards the end was as long as she was happy and had some quality let her enjoy, but when the time comes, let it be quick.  By the grace of God that is what happened for her.  She went to hospice on a Monday and was gone on that Saturday.

    It is sad for those left behind, but those that leave become happy and whole again. No more pain, no more suffering.  I hope Mary's family and those here that knew her well find some peace in her passing. 

    This damn disease just bites ass.

    Their is a lady on another thread with me that is a hospice nurse just like you.  She travels around like i think you do.  You two would have a lot to vent about!  Let me know if you want her name.  Might be a source of support and friendship for you?  Geographically in the US, I don't think she could be further away from you though!  New England!

    Bless all you nurses!  Happy Nurses Week!

    Shellshine, I think often the family feels the same way. I've heard people in my family say it was a blessing that their pain was over. As much as you want the person you're losing to go on, realistically you want them to go on the way they were, not in pain and suffering. The memories you want to keep are the ones of the good times.

    I am so happy that tungsten( the snake) is kept alive in so many threads. He would be so proud if he had a brain

    this was suppose to read:

    Ziggy, 444444444is always Randy, she keeps--US---- wide eyed :0 and---- US---running for the magnifier. 

    But it worked the other way too!

    OH Smarty that's so true about time. Don't you just love it when you ask someone the date and they just give you a number? Assuming that you know the month :0

    Phylly sometimes I know what I'm talking about---

    Here's the OFFICIAL definition from wiki "Breadcrumbs or breadcrumb trail is a navigation aid used in user interfaces. It allows users to keep track of their locations within programs or documents. The term comes from the trail of breadcrumbs left by Hansel and Gretel in the popular fairytale.[1]

    Seee   I know everything LOL Course this one is more readable and EDITED(Z) better.

    The breadcrumbs started with Susan and ended with Chevy. The location was post>post>post

    Hi all, just checking in to say hello. Feeling sad tonight. My 10 year old blind Pekingnese female dog  eye pressure has increased and causing her pain. The only relief is to completely remove her eyes :-(   She went blind in January due to diabetes. But now no matter how many different medications we've tried in her eyes the pressure keeps increasing. So next Thursday May 15, she's scheduled to have both eyes removed.

    Shell it's so good to see u we miss u, come by as often as u can and try to keep some order here. I've tried really, but Chevy, 4 and others run amuck and Sas no one understands her most of the time and Ziggy is in her own world--I'm the only sensible sane one here--it's very hard to have a natural intelligent conversation with people who are maroon, that's such a deep color, so I guess they'r deep.  I really hope u'r doing well with u'r job and u'r family.

    I'm sorry little Pawprint...  I know how it is to see something happen to your pets...  We try everything...  but sometimes it doesn't help... I mean with Lacee anyway.

    Hope that will help your LITTLE Paw!  I'm just so sorry.... 

    And the REST of you guys, are just driving me NuTS!  I'm back here on the last page where Phyllican'tspellworthshit are talking about SOMEthing, like being marooned on some Island with bread-crumbs and Hansel & Gretel and  WTH?????

    And what does Lilshit mean?  About "not for cat lovers place?"  Do we have to set up a "cat-house" TOO?    And YES 44444444!  You were the only one that caught that!  Ha, ha!   Have to draw PICTURES around here, for the rest of you to "get it!"

    So do YOU know where Vinnie is? 
    Okay Sassy.... use those bread-crumbs to find out THAT one...image

    Bread-crumbs my a$$....  Cammi!  Did you get an inkling of what these women are talking about?  WE are so SIMPLE, and here they go throwing in words or sentences that have nothing to do with ANY topic....  I mean like all those balls and bread-crumbs! 

    Sometimes I just feel lame....  and it's not only my brain.... I mean I'm trying to get my hip/leg to join the rest of my body, and WORK like it's supposed to... But some days it has a mind of it's own, and thinks it requires a cane...  I'm naming it Chester... 

    4444444444!   You were trying your damndest to confuse us!    But not the picture.... I got the picture! 

    So fun how you gals tease each other....  !  Lilshit, 44444 IS as bad as me and Cammi!  Yes, we get our own room!   But the rest of you gals are welcome in our den of inequity or whatever it is called...

    Sass, am I supposed to be understanding this stuff?  I mean like "magnifier?"  What's THAT supposed to mean?  Oh, wait, I'm putting the clues together.... you mean her dinky little picture!  SHE thinks that if she makes it SMALLER, she won't get into trouble!  Little does SHE know!  Hah!

    Morning  Smaarty and Tang and Wren!  

    Phyllitryingtoexplain!  WE got it.... Now you have to pretend you understand.... then 'splain it to us!  or whatever....  Are you doing okay?  I mean we all worry.... but  we won't listen if it is something we don't want to hear. 

    Littlegardens!  I can just SEE you walking around in the rain in a huge ball like that!  Ha, ha!  Yes, that WOULD be fun!

    Blessings...  I don't get it....  "a hair or an eggshell in my mouth"....  Okay, who DOES that?   Are you referring to what I THINK you are referring to?  Okay then.... never mind....

    Hey Shells!  So good to hear from you!  I know what you mean....  Yes, I think the same way...  When we are close to someone, like family or friends, that is having such a ROUGH time, we don't want to see them pass away, but another part of us just PRAYS for them to be at peace, and out of pain!   We know it's gone beyond what we can do, and we just have to wait, and hold our breath...  and when they DO finally go to sleep, it hurts, but at least we know they are in their own special place, and they live forever in our hearts... 

    When my Grandma AND my Dad were going through that, I just talked to them, told them how much I loved them, but I would always be with them...  I got up on the bed with my Grandma, and just held her after she had gone...  I just wanted her to know that I was there... I didn't know what else to do...   We just have to believe they are in a better place...

    Now little miss Susan!  Tungsten DOES have a brain!   We just don't want him to hear these disparaging remarks made by SOME around here!  So we can put little ear-muffs on him in the dog-house.

    Tell him he DOES have friends...  !

    CAMMMMMMMMMMMMMI!  You finally woke up?   Yeah, like YOU try and keep order!  Are you kidding ME?  We are orderless....  and maybe senseless... as you say...but we have fun!  

    We have to be Maroon now?  I don't know about Maroon.... maybe Lilac or purple...  Who ARE these people ANYway?   You mean Moron?  Oh no, that's not a nice word! 

    So this good morning wake-up call from you, MUST mean you took your shower!  I can smell you from HERE!  Ha, ha!

    YOU!  A proof-reader?  Now THAT'S a misanomaly!  Whatever will Lilshit DO now?

    See, I just make up my own words as I go along... no-one will notice... they will all think I know what I am talking about...

    Good morning. Been lurking for awhile and eating bread crumbs that someone left behind. Just don't seem to have energy these days. Must be the breadcrumb diet.

    Pawprint, I know it is hard to accept, but I've seen lots of enucleation surgeries and she will feel so much better and so will you once it's all done and healed. Wishing you all the best and I'm sorry you both have to go through this. But hang in there. 

    Having my stereotactic brain radiosurgery today. PET scan on Friday.  Hoping to be back soon.

    love to all

    Oh Fierce One - In your pocket today. Hope someone left some of those bread crumbs for us. Maybe need something more substantial like this:
