Yes, God bless Fred, and God Bless you in your kindness and love...sm
We had to put two of our pets, to gorgeous cats that had been our babies for 16+ years, in much the same story, they had gotten to the point where they were suffering and would suffer more. Horrible, heartbreaking decision, hurts like heck, but I do believe there have to be darling pets in Heaven, I cannot imagine how it would be heaven without them, they are so precious and give us so much love and happiness! So sorry for your loss!
God bless you... sm
I will be praying for you. I deal with sadness at this time every year because of relatives who died very close to Christmas. You can't help but think of them. Know that God will help you through it, with time. I pray God's blessings and healing power over you and your family. We all have to hang in there together and lift each other up during the tough times. You will get through it, as one of the other posters said. Keep focused on precious memories of loved ones and your pets as well. That seems to help me the most, and knowing I'll see them again one day.
God bless them.

Bless you and her. Sometimes it is best to
It was a hard decision for me but I wanted my Lexi to not suffer.
Please consider taking her to the vet for a humane end to her suffering.
Bless you
for considering this. Shelters are overflowing! In order to make room for more animals, some will have to be put down. Fostering gives these animals a little more time to be considered for adoption. Years ago I adopted a wonderful 9-year-old Akita mix. She had been in the shelter for her allotted time, a few months, and would have been put down because she was so old & had health problems. A wonderful volunteer took her home & fostered her for 9 months before I finally saw Echo on the shelter's weekly TV spot, & it was love at first sight. I adopted her right away. She did have a lot of health problems but was with me for 18 months & had the golden retirement she deserved. All because of someone who was willing to foster her.
God bless you..
So hard to say goodbye, even knowing it's not forever.
Take care of yourself.
God Bless You....sm
You are an angel! I am an animal lover and especially dogs.
bless you.

God bless you!
You are a saint in my eyes. I love animals. I can't bear to see them with no home and no one to care for them.
God bless you, SM. sm
If only the world had more people like you, it would be a far better place.
In my book, people who abandon pets are on the same page as those who abandon babies, and deserve the same legal penalty. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen. They get a slap on the wrist, nothing more, if that.
Thanks, God bless you, You never know who you may touch...nm

Just say a little prayer for her - she needs help! May God Bless her. nm

Bless your heart
Bless your heart...Fox looks like such a sweetie. I think the memory garden would be a wonderful idea.  Cat
Aww, bless your heart! I still
love what I do, but have only been doing it for 3 years. I feel totally blessed that I actually got to quit work when my kids were 2 and 3, go to school online and actually get to work from home so I can be where they need me when they need me. I can see why what else you're doing right now, though, is so much better than MTing! Have you ever been to Women of Faith?
Bless you and your kitty
We lost our 18-yo girl two years ago to renal failure. She didn't meow a lot, but seemed to really enjoy being held more than she ever did when she was younger. Just spend quality time with her; you'll never regret it.
God bless you for caring sm
We have kept our dogs for up to 16-17, until it would have been inhumane to let them suffer, so I can feel your pain. I cried more over my dogs than I did for family as the first one was born right here in our home as well and we treat our animals as one of us. Unless one is an animal lover, others cannot understand why you could be so heartbroken. My husband took it hard as well and we were both so distraught it was worse than a human death. We had ignorant people say ignorant things such as, "it's only a dog," etc. Be comforted in knowing that those of us who love animals feel your pain. It will take a long time to get over. I could not walk past the pet food aisle without tears. The only answer to my pain was guess what? Another pet if possible. Bless you, we are here to talk. Those of us who love animals know what you've been through. You feel helpless, I'm sure, but you did your best.
Bless your heart.

bless the moderator...
thank you
God bless you and your daughter -
It sounds like she really managed to communicate what she needed, even if she didn't know how!
Thank you for yet another perspective!
God bless Bella!
There are no words to express how sorry I am about the loss of your sweet Bella. May she rest in peace.
Awe, thanks for the update. Bless you for

bless your heart...
I know just in general with how the economy is & how transcription seems to be going downhill with outsourcing that alone is enough to get anybody down. Hang in there girl. Pray and believe and God will guide you!
Bless your heart. You just don’t know.
It is ok. If you want to say single when you were separated, go right ahead. No use in arguing. You win.
Like I said above, bless your heart.
Have it your wrong way. Am not arguing. A truly single woman is 1 who has never married. If you were married you are not then a single mother. You fall into 1 of 3 categories. If you do not understand, have it your own way. I think women go by this term so others will feel sorry for them. My view on the term single woman.
Well bless your heart.

Of course bless the innocents...
No one in their right mind would place any blame or responsibility on the victims.
I was just thinking about what would drive someone to behave so violently. He obviously was troubled. His family will be vilified while they are grieving.
I often look at things from an odd angle.
Bless your heart....sm
I think I could see them die by lethal injection if they killed someone I loved. I can't say for sure cause I haven't been in that situation, but I think the anger for what the person did would be so much that I would have no problem watching them die.
Then again I may would just want to not be present out of the fact I did not want to lay eyes on them or go through the stress.
Next Friday
it's in stores. I'm going to buy it. I have tried everything including hypnotism and exercising my behind off to lose weight and just can't get rid of the fat. Also doing low carb and still can't lose weight. I'm counting down the days to buy Alli. Never tried Xenical but it's half the dose of it so it still should work. I'm desperate. I am in a wedding in Sept and need to lose a lot of weight in the next 3 months.
Friday
Home made chicken pot pies for dinner tonight. It's so chilly outside today. Plus, I can easily toss it in the crock pot during lunch. :)
It's Friday - Yay !!
Let's have a little fun. Name 3 things most people would be surprised to know about you. I'll start.
1. I love alternative music even though I'm in my late 40s.
2. I like animals more than most people.
3. I always wanted to be a singer as a career but cannot sing.
It's Friday but what the hey? sm

Friday!
You better get going!! My suggestion would be to pick out clothes that will take you from now until you get where you're going - I assume that will be sometime Sunday maybe. Pack those in a suitcase and set it aside to live out of until you get to your final destination. Leave one box out for linens, towels, etc. that are going to be used until then and those will just have to get packed dirty Friday am.
Get paper plates, cups, plastic forks, etc. and start using those so you can pack the kitchen.
Start packing literally everything else and stack the boxes in a corner. You essentially need to be off work from now on to get this done. Box up the computer so you won't be tempted. Pick a room and start at one end of the room. Have a designed "no way is this moving with me" spot and put discards there to be donated or whatever you're going to do with them. I hope you have your boxes. If you can't get any from grocery stores, etc., you may need to purchase them from a Uhaul store, or some place.
Like the other poster said, if you have pets, have a plan for them on moving day. Either crate them early or put them in a room with a sign on the door or something so they don't get lost or stressed out.
Good luck and safe travels.
Bless your heart for caring!

How wonderful! God bless your family.
And you even get to avoid most of the heat here in Georgia during the pregnancy. LOL Seriously, a baby is such a blessing. I'm tickled for you and your family.
bless you.....mine was only 231, so I am feeling
pretty lucky to have caught it early. My Dad has high cholesterol that he has to take meds for and I am trying to avoid that, but like you said, you can't choose genetics. I am walking and eating better. Good recommendation on the fish oil pills and garlic. I can handle that, just cannot handle the taste of fish unless it is shrimp or lobster and can't afford the lobster all the time, so there ya go. Good luck getting yours back down!!
Bless your heart, don’t know a 2006 BMW
when you see one. Sorry maybe your day will come one of these days. Good luck!
Bless my heart, I do know. I had the guts to
take the help that was needed to feed and clothe my kids. That was 20+ years ago and I would do it all again to see my children healthy and happy. 
Bless you, you have a kind heart! ....nm

No Black Friday
No Black Friday thing this year because I didn't see anything that jumped out at me in the sale papers....until dh told me about Walmart's secret items that they just found out about on Wednesday. They had a computer tower, mouse and keyboard for 148 bucks. (you had to supply your own monitor). I thought they would be great for the boys. It was one to a customer so I recruited Kristi (my 19 year) to come with me. I was up and out the door at 3:30, planning to pick Kristi up and be in line by 4 for the 5am sale. Walmart had their greeters handing out maps so that you could find the sale items and get in the right line. I was all over that store because these computers were not where the map said they were. I asked lots of associates and got pointed in lots of directions and I was MOVING man! LOL Kristi was like, MOM, it's 4 in the morning, slow down. You have to forgive her, she's never been to a Black Friday sale. I teased her that she should be able to keep up with an old lady. LOL
Finally, I'm back to the place on the map, with a huge sign pointing down to where those computers are supposed to be and flag down a manager, who goes in the back and checks. He comes back out to me and says that they never got any!!! What??? You never got any?? And he says there are no rainchecks either since they never got them. What?????
So that was the end of that. I did end up getting, on a whim, two gamer chairs...the last two they had. They were on sale for less than half of what they usually are. I NEVER buy things on a whim, but I figured if I bought them and decided it wasn't a good idea, I could always return them. If I didn't buy them and THEN decided it WAS a good idea, I'd be kicking myself.
At least I didn't walk out of there with nothing so that the entire trip wasn't a waste, right?? LOL
If you went to the sales in the wee hours of the morning, how did you do? Did you get what you went for?
School out on Friday in MS.....wish they

Black Friday
My husband and I always shop on Black Friday, but if there's something we really want he goes out at about 4:00-5:00 in the morning to get it and then comes back to get me at around 9:00. I'm not a morning person at all. I usually don't go to bed unti 4:00 a.m. because of work so the thought of getting up that early doesn't appeal to me. We leave the kids at my parents where we spend Thanksgiving. Then we go out to a fantastic Greek Restaurant for lunch then back to grandma and grandpa and then travel back home an hour away. Then the next day it's off to cut down our Christmas tree.
black friday
I went one time...and won't do it again. I guess it would be better if I had someone to go with, but even then it gets crazy! Good luck to you! I will stay at home on Black Friday & shop online!
Black Friday
Where did you go?
What time you started?
What did you buy?
Yes, i'm very nosey.
BLACK FRIDAY
Stayed home just relaxing -- when I heard earlier on NPR that a Wal-Mart employee was trampled to death when a crowd of early shoppers pushed in the front doors! They said the store was on Long Island, but gave no town. Guess what? I grew up on Long Island (that's NY) but have lived in Maine for years -- haven't seen a crowd yet! Bargains will still be there tomorrow.

I never go out on Black Friday...SM
We live in an unstable environment, I feel at least. And I woudlnt feel safe going to a store on this day. In fact, I do all my shopping before Thanksgiving, mainly just to avoid lines, crowds, and out of stocks, but in the last few years I also have to safety into my mix of reasons for my early shopping. Crazy world!!
Black Friday
I never go out on Black Friday. Of course, this year I had a little help staying home....a terrible cold, which also made Thanksgiving less enjoyable. Feeling a little better, but still in bed.
I know people who live for this day. Sorry, I don't care how good the sale is, it ain't worth it.
Black Friday....
I don't bother with it. I'm at the point in my life now where if I want it or need to get it as a present, I'm not real concerned with how much it is. I would rather sleep in, take a leisurely drive to the store (or shop on line), buy it and if it's on sale great; if not, oh well, makes no difference to me. My last Black Friday purchases were Cabbage Patch dolls (the FIRST incarnation of them many years ago) for my daughters. That was enough for me.
Actually, something very exciting for Friday
YooHoo, banner day. I am supposed to receive my very first full retirement check then. I am sooooooooo excited.
