Thankee.

Hee It's just get worse. I can handle it. Remember the neighbor. Well we have been spending a lot of time together. Watching movies. (and that)

Hey he used me. Just got a phone call that his girlfriend moved back in with him.

Christ, I am too old for this crapolla. Told him ok, when you kick her out again, don't come to me. I found out it's a pattern.

I was used.

Oh, wellsy. Thank you all for your kind words, prayers and thoughts. I just said to him, "ok, I was used, gotta go cry now" I did not really love him anyway, it was just the company.

Onward and better me.

I am so sorry to make this a pity party about me. Not more ((NN))

Hey, how bout them Phillies? I am going to finish Doctor Sleep.

It's his loss Nadine. Be strong and keep taking the meds until they kick in - let the doctor know how you feel - it may take a while - 2 or 3 weeks before you notice a difference :love_heart:

I went through a period of depression back when I was in my late 20's and early 30's. I also suffered nearly crippling anxiety nearly all my life until recently. I still have a few kinks and quirks here and there but I just want to say that people are strong creatures with an amazing ability to heal. There is healing if we let it happen, make it happen. There is light at the end of the tunnel I promise. Don't give up on getting there to it.
I took antidepressants, it took a few tries to find the right meds for me. But when I found them it turned my life around.
I saw a Shrink for about a year. I was really doubtful of the benefits of that but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a huge part of my healing. After about 4 or 5 years of being on meds my doc and I decided to try taking a break from them. I was a little scared at first but as it turned out I felt better than ever and have not needed meds since.
I am grateful to be in a place of health and growth. I don't even mind the few a fore mentioned kinks, they make me me. Bad patches happen, but we grow past them.
I hope I am not coming across as being Miss Puuurfect Purrrrtricia, who knows it all because I certainly don't and I don't mean to sound that way. I just wanted to share my experience and my gratitude. And to maybe offer some insight to those who are there where I was. I have never forgotten how hopeless I felt back then and I never will, but now I know where there is life there is hope.

My daughter's father is Philippine, and I talked to him Saturday. He has 2 brothers who still live there, and has had no word about them yet. My heart goes out to those people.
My daughter works with Filipino people, and thankfully none of them had family who were affected and all are safe. So tragic for those who don't know if their loved ones are safe or not. My thoughts and prayers are with them all.

I am in danger of losing my job. I was in the hospital all last week. I was unable to leave - involuntary admission.
I Went to work this morning. Went to HR. They sent me home, said I was in no shape to work. These pills they gave me, I can't function with them.

Now I have to call the doctor who treated me and he has to give medical information and tell them I am able to work.
I really hope he does.


((Philippines))
Oh, darlin'. I send you my prayers that all will be well with you. I will be thinking of you.

Hi. In May, 2012, I posted on God Bomb that my dog Bo had been dxd via ultrasound with incurable bladder cancer. The vet's prognosis was not good, that Bo might be gone in a few months at best. Obviously, Bo wasn't listening, or was; nevertheless, he's still here with me. This past March I requested a repeat ultrasound, because I was planning a long distance road trip and wanted to see if it was a reasonable idea to take him with me, since I'd discovered once before that he doesn't kennel very well. I think he gets real bad separation anxiety. I don't like being away from him, either.

The second ultrasound confirmed that the cancer had progressed by that time to having reduced his bladder's capacity to about half. There are no treatments. I simply monitor him all the time, figuring that one day he'll start crying. I've heard the cry before from a couple of cats when their kidneys were failing. That is what will probably happen to Bo, because at some point the vets expect his urethra will become permanently blocked, and the urine will then be forced up into his kidneys. Certain death will be unavoidable, but the main thing is that death like that is very painful. The signs of it are fairly clear. I'm learning to be constantly prepared for that day, to not hesitate when he's crying and doesn't stop to immediately take him to the vet and get it over. I know I'm fortunate to have this much warning time, not to mention to have had this much quality time with him so far.

I'm posting this for those of you who've followed the God Bomb threads who've read my original couple of posts about Bo. I appreciate your presence and prayers, and I'll certainly let you know how Bo continues to be. And who knows, maybe he'll be around a whole lot longer! :smile:;DD:love:

My Fred (My beloved cat) lived long past his expiry date, by nearly 5 years. He has gone to the clearing now but I will always love him and thank him for showing me that every day is a gift.
Thankee, Patricia A. ( :love: ). I dread the day; despite preparing myself intellectually, I know I cannot emotionally. I'll be a complete and utter basket case. I'd consider asking a friend or family member along, except that I'd not wish on them the grief of such a hard event. This is one of the bennies of the SKMB, though. Community helps.

My Cygnus, my love, my black lab was diagnosed. It was so hard. Took her everywhere, that could help.
They said, you will know when it is time. And yes I did. Held her kissed her at the end.

And yes, It was so hard.

It went so fast, you can not believe it. It took about 10 seconds.

I went into shock and got through it. They were very kind. My husband could not stay.
For some reason when I saw her laying there in pain, I said "I will stay". I am glad I did.

I think shock got me through it. I even had to go back and lay and hug her after.


I am so sorry, but that is all you can do.

Now my Caseyanne is diagnosed also. I won't be there for her. Not with me. But kills me.

I still dream about it, but I also dream about here amazing ways while she was here. I am looking at a picture on my wall right now of her.

So Sorry Frank and the lovely Bo.

I will give all the vibes I can. They are family and always will be. I think as much as I love my mom and attended her funeral, this might have been harder.

Prepare yourself, Frank. You will get through it.

Dearest God, Heavenly Father, maker of all living creatures, we ask you to bless Bo who brings so much joy into Frank's life. By the power of Your love, enable him to live according to Your plan. May we always praise You for all Your beauty in creation. Blessed are You, God, in all Your creatures! Amen.

Candle is lit for Bo, and my prayers are with you both.

Worst day of my life, and as for us all there've been a number of really bad ones: when I had to put my dog Joe to "sleep" (for some reason since then I've always avoided the term "had to put down"). He'd been fine eight days earlier. One Saturday night when I got home he couldn't get up off the floor. The day before I'd noticed no illness or problem. Picked him up (100+lbs of Black Lab mix muscle, but with no tone, like a trash bag of sand), loaded him into back seat of my compact car, drove him to 24 hr vet hospital a mile away. Vet said not sure of dx, asked if he might've gotten into antifreeze or some other kind of substance which is poisonous to dogs. It was not of which I was aware. Stayed in touch thru the week, blood test not good, repeat blood test not good, repeat blood test a bit better, let's hope.

Next Saturday repeat blood test not good, talked to vet who says your dog is suffering. Sunday went to vet, had to walk since my car had mean time gone into shop, but that was a good thing, therapeutic, let me prepare. No more details at this time, not that you are chomping to know.

I think what it is about animals, why we end up becoming attached to them and love them, and in some ways can get more from them than from other humans even, is that while we know they are innocent, they must suffer in this world anyway as if guilty. It's an unfair world sometimes. I assume we suspect animals don't know what the deal is or why, so that their suffering seems uniquely unconscionable and unacceptable.

Get well and good luck! I was worried about my job once and it was excruciating. I make good money but I got big bills too. I'd hate to have to downsize.

My best wishes go out to you and Bo, Frank... our animal friends provide us with the happiest of times and also the hardest of times.
(Effing) cancer has gotten every one of my (past) three dogs and three of my cats--I've had to make that terrible decision with each one of them and my heart broke to pieces every time.
Thank God a heart can mend... really. Hugs to (((you guys.)))
