Had to share a smile with y'all

I just told my 8-year-old we were having spaghetti tonight for supper.  He loves spaghetti.  He asked me if we had any "Papa John cheese" -- LOL -- he means parmesan cheese.  Sometimes my kids crack me up!

First, in the past year I guess I've had 2 cousins die suddenly from MIs at fairly young (40s) age.  On both occasions, the families have elected to "cremate now, memorial later", only the memorial has not come as of yet for the 1st cousin.  The 2nd cousin just died last night, but his family says they will do the same thing.  To me, this is so disrespectful to the deceased, like they didn't matter, can't even take the time to have a small memorial in their honor...is it just me?

Secondly (and this is weird, I know) , but would you ever consider answering an ad on another website that sells things for a "date"...I don't mean like a going-out-to-dinner-and-a-movie-date, but like a ~~~date~~~ (get where I'm coming from???)  I'll admit, my curosity got the best of me (I posted a purse for sale on the other website) and I was "browsing around" some of the stranger ads...WOW---I was so shocked at what people are allowed and WILLING to put online...it scared me! Is it just me? Thanks, y'all!

I have no idea why this doesn't show up on the Main Board and the Gab Board, so I'm posting it both places  I need all the help I can get!

The pink liquid is Clavamox/Amoxicillin. They give it to dry, and when you get home you add water to it to mix it up.  It has a short shelf-life.  It also comes in pills.

I only had one UTI in my life, which was the pits.  I do know about Azo (I think that's what they call it).  I can't remember if it's similar to/same as the cranberry juice/pills.  While I know many women swear by these products, the cranberry thing was also mentioned in my research for cats. 

My vet is excellent, but he's very expensive (and oh, such a looker)!  It's nice to be on his "A-list.  Anyway, Lindsay totally freaks out when I try to use the syringe on her. She's a total piece of work, but so sweet.  At the moment, she appears to be acting better, but that's not good enough for me.  Y'all  obviously know all about that.  Of course, add the the QrazyQ "wages," as they call them, and it makes it even more stressful.  But having spent thousands in the good ole' days on my cardiomyopathy cat and even taking my "own" radiologist bud with me for her cardiac echo, $ was no issue.  I also used L-carnitine, Lasix, propranolol, and other stuff.  She lived at least 3 years longer from my protocol.

my vet told me last time that moist food is better, but I quit giving it to them a long time ago (3 cats chasing bowls, etc.).  I also read where dry food with sugar, etc. is also a no-no.

Actually, I found some Clavamox pills, but they're expired.  I think I'll try to give one to her, anyway.  It's 6 of one, half of the other, ya know.

Thanks for the kind words and suggestions.  I'll keep checking back here.  It really means a lot! 

Or more if you can't decide.

Mine is petting my cat and giving her kisses on her belly and watching her roll around purring really loudly. (okay, so I don't have any kids to give kisses to so this is the next best thing).

I'm a Christian... by Maya Angelou

When I say... I am a Christian, I'm not shouting, I'm clean livin'.  I'm whispering, I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.

When I say... I'm a Christian, I don't speak of this with pride.  I'm confessing that I stumble, and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say...I'm a Christian, I'm not trying to be strong.  I'm professing that I'm weak, and need His strength to carry on.

When I say... I'm a Christian, I'm not bragging of success.  I'm admitting I have failed, and need God to clean up my mess.

When I say... I'm a Christian, I'm not claiming to be perfect.  My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... I'm a Christian, I still feel the sting of pain.  I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... I'm a Christian, I'm not holier than thou.  I'm just a simple sinner who recieved God's good grace somehow.

Okay, actual statement made by my doc tonight.  Sometimes, the funniest are the most simple:

The patient could hardly stand up after I got through doing a rectal exam. 

My sister passed away in Nov.  She loved the beach so we waited until this summer to spread her ashes there.  My sister and I dug a heart in the sand and filled that empty void with her ashes and covered it with green colored popouri, her favorite color and put down candles and then the waves came up and washed the ashes back out to sea.  In this picture, hope it shows, (if it does not someone tell me how to get it to show) my sister was taking picture and I leaned down to pick up a trash tie that had washed up there and the shadow looked like the hand was reaching out of the ashes to touch my hand.  Freaked my little sister out. Was like a sign but it brought some humor to the situation.

Man A must be pretty decent to have understood the importance of being to work on time, so I'd probably share it.  Of course, if he looked like trailer trash who would only blow it on booze and cigs, I might reconsider that.

I worked at a physical rehab center for 5 years.  As another poster stated, the amount of improvement depends on a lot of things.  However, I saw people leave or return for appts with no noticeable residual, others who still had deficits but were independent.  Those who were permanently impaired learned to adapt. There are some really cool gadgets out there! One thing I learned from working at the rehab center was determination really *can* pay off.  It was inspiring working there. 

IF your dad needs extensive therapy, the hardest part for YOU may be keeping him motivated.  So, best of luck to your dad, you and the family.  Let us know how things are going.

the "club card" for our local grocery store (we only have 1 in our little town).  We accumulate the points together and usually qualify for the higher percentage off when it's time to cash in (20% off 1 bill rather than 5%).  Then we pick a day we can go together and ring our order up together.  Of course we use our coupons, too.  We just went 2 weeks ago and qualified for 15% off our total bill.  Before coupons/discounts, our total grocery bill was $550 but after our discounts, it was only $283.  We saved almost $200 ---- unbelievable but true.

Before dining out, I check the website of the restaurant we're going to for coupons.  They usually offer a free appetizer and that helps to fill us up so we can order smaller meals.  We have 3 kids and my 2 younger kids share a kids' meal since they can never eat a whole one themselves.  I also like to order water -- that always cuts about $5 off the bill.

Remember -- if you donate clothes to Good Will/Salvation Army, it's a deductible dontation, so keep track.
