Bonfire of the Goddesses

Bad News and Great news all in the same week:

My furbaby, Tigger died peacefully in my arms this afternoon. Hardest thing I ever did. Vet was very kind and compassionate. He came out to the car and I held her on my lap.

Tigger nuzzled my right breast and actually alerted me something was wrong. She found my breast cancer. Then, she stayed by my side and gave me snuggles and licks all the way through my treatment. She will be missed. Tonight is going to be hard to sleep without her at the end of the bed.

Just got this from PS offfice yesterday: "Good News! I just got the authorization for your surgery! I have forwarded on to the scheduler and she will contact you when she has a date. Please know this will have to be done by 12/31/14. Have a great day!" 2 hours later they had a date and time for the surgery - Dec. 4th!!!! What a whirlwind!!! Emotions are crazy tonight. Can I throw all those emotions in the bonfire?

Dear Ducky - I am sending hugs to you.. Traditions seem to go by the wayside quite alot. If it wasn't for my 2 grandsons that want to see grandma. - I'm sure we would be in the same boat...

So sorry bout tigger, holding while he died was so hard.

Well let me chime in.. thanksgiving  the dil Always goes 2 her grandmothers so i never see those gc, bhut my son always comes here we watch fb, so this year 4 ddinner  it is me the twins til michael has 2 work n tommy, i wont see the girls or the other grandchildren. 

4 Christmas a tradition  was started about 7 years ago that dd2 would have xmas breakfast,  now dd1 wasn't  speaking 2 anybody 4 6 years. It is only my family that goes, the house is small n like 18 people go, sometimes the idiot she married has people stop over. Well i decided that i really can't stand being around him he is abusive to me n her anyway he threw me out of her house twice after calling me psycho bitch.. so i am notvgoing this year, dont want 2 b around  him. My son n the twins r not going n my ex is only cause his nu wifey is making him. I will go n see their gifts when he is not there. Nobody comes over my house 4 xmas dd2 goes with his family all holidays, my daughter is speak ing 2 us now but she has a bf so they r together. Now 4 xmas dinner have been going 2 sons house 4 dinner, well dil makes dumb stuff, food i hate n george n inever eat. The twins usually go to their grandmother n their father is there n that part of the family. This year i will b sick on xmas n the twins will go, n i will b fine.  Just sai not 4 nothing else, i am here longer than i thought i would b n every holiday i think is the last one 4 that particular one. They don't  care or don't  get it. N oh btw went 2 get a turkey n it was 24.00 4 a 12lb wth, didnt get it. That was the cheapest place around here. I am not cooking george (one of the twins )wants 2 cook it n my oldest son said he will help..i need 2 watch with the oxygen...i have no dishwasher  but me.

Ducky, I'm no computer expert but maybe try a different browser?  Mom's iPad came with Safari, which IDK.

We finally got a new PC running Windows 8.1 and actually like the ease of use once you get used to the tiles.

Not happy with having to pay a fee every year for Microsoft Office but WTH I paid once for many years of XP.

Yikes! Families are hard! I have been dealing with family problems pretty heavily for several weeks now, we started early! I am so glad I live in los ang with my manfriend for 15 years, so mush easier. But its still like, if somebody invites us, that is for sure the day we both want to stay home! We love our quiet little life! His family is not as crazy as mine is. I am sorry for hurt feelings all around. We should be thankful for every day, right? And we can pick and choose who we will spend time with on any given day right? And just love our people up how ever we can. In a way, I think families are unnatural, and the friends that we find are the true families of our hearts.

His sister is coming to our house for thanksgiving, she is a great cook and very funny! The only thing is, her house is immaculately clean and mine is not! So I am cleaning like crazy, while trying to deal with a family crisis of sorts at the same time, long distance! Yikes again! Our dinner that day will be very low-key, with a movie after. Phone calls and texts will take up a good part of the morning. And then I can sort of relax and get some other things done in december, I am hoping to be making some of the gifts i will give for Christmas....No drs appointments that I know of, altho I eed to call them with my suspiscions, and I have new onset of lymphedema that is now trying to go into my hand, its already now gone to my wrist...etc..

Gma, I am so sorry that you lost your little furbaby, that is the hardest thing...big hug to you

disneyland is sounding better and better

We posted at the same time

I think this site freezes up

Somehow

I'm gonna pm the mods too

Hi ladies - we're baaaaaack!!!! 

I have issues sometimes with the site.  I'll be typing and it will just stop.  At that point I can't add anything, nor can I erase anything.  One thing I have found that works sometimes is leaving this window and going to a different site for a bit.  Then I'll come back and it will have freed up.  Doesn't happen with anything else - just here.  They have some odd problems.....
