What's an Altenweg?

He he a name :p

Hey Cat and Unky!

Glad to see you are getting some time to your self Unky :)

Aaaaah ummmmm...

Sorry to hear that Unky, good luck. If you don't get the past 3 months, will you be able to get it forward on?

Hey unky. In the same boat. Fortunately, I start a retoactive disability pension and health care including dental and drug coverage at the end of this month to Nov 2009. I had to put out nearly $6500 for prescriptions which will take up to 8 weeks to get mostly refunded. Out of pocket costs should be less than $400-500 anyway.

Health care isn't quite right yet for February onward, but Dec and Jan expenses are being adjusted. There is probably a difficulty in having two different plans from the same health care provider active at the same time. They were enabled at the same time too, retroactive to different dates. This probably confused them.

Meanwhile it's pollen season for me and there's at least a 30 gal garbage bag of the pollen I'm allergic to on the lawn.
It's also driving my Asthma nuts and the rain is causing a migraine.

What's an Altenweg?

It's German. It means "old way" or "old path".

I prefer Alty, it's shorter and easier to spell. ;)

Unky, sending good vibes your way. I'm sure it will all work out. :)

KISS, I hope you get to feeling better. :)

How about "getting healthy"? Any other choices are very wt. ;)

How are you doing, Alty?

Aaaaah ummmmm.....

Ooops sorry Stringer! Didn't see you over there.

Friends?

Hey guys, how's everyone doing tonight?

My tummy is grumbly.

Whatcha going to cook?
I had Bbq chicken and salad. I hate salad. I've been eating for almost two weeks.

Welcome to my life... my wife is a vegetarian... and she is concerned about my health, so I eat lots of veggies too, not a fan of them at all... :(

I don't really have much food right now. I haven't been actually grocery shopping since the beginning of march. The amount of food I buy is limited to what I can carry on my bike, and the last time I went shopping was the beginning of the month.

I have raman, soup, and a frozen pizza. The few other things I have take ingredients I DON'T have. Then again, there's always pb&j.

How about "getting healthy"? Any other choices are very wt. ;)

How are you doing, Alty?

I'm doing. I don't feel any different, but I'm still alive so that's good. :)

I go back to my doctor next week for more blood tests. My iron pills are almost all gone so it's time to see if they helped any.

No thanks... I have my daily helping of meat anyway... what the wife doesn't know, won't kill her... lol!

Haha... nah... I guess the veggies are helping me healthwise, but they do taste yucky...

More garlic! And sautee them in bacon drippings.

Bacon is meat Cats. Bacon drippings is the blood of meat.

Okay, that made more sense in my head. :(

Unky and alty-cat are hiding under my console. I think they're plotting something. Should I be worried?

More garlic! and sautee them in bacon drippings.

Garlic yes... wife won't mind me having that... but the only meat I'm really allowed is Chicken... and once a fortnight I have beef, either stir-fry or a steak... which isn't too bad...

I cook every thing in garlic. MmMm

I am just sick of salad. But it'll be worth it when I loose those 10 pounds!

I love spinach salad. That's what I need to get when I go grocery shopping again. Fresh produce.

It must have lost something in the translation.

I started this new diet. My sister has been on and has lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks.

Protein and very low carbs... ( like atkins diet) breakfast and lunch

Then you get a "rewards meal" you can have no protein 1 hour before this meal or 1 hour after and it should be the same time everyday.

Rewards meal is anything you want within one hour but it needs to be balanced... protein, fats, carbs and yes it includes sweets too. I've lost three pounds in 2 weeks. It is easy for me to do. I don't think about food all the time now.

Will it really work? I have no clue but it is worth a try.

Thought I'd share. :)

Sounds good. If it works post the recipes you used. I'd love to lose a bit of weight. :)

I joined weight watchers.

Doesn't seem too bad.

That's one reason why I agreed to my wife's diet plan for me... I want to lose weight, but she doesn't think I have to... weird...

I made grits once Cats, not sure if it was the right consistency or not. Do you use corn meal or corn flour?

I've never had grits. Just the word sounds icky. ;)

It was pretty good. It was a cajun recipie I think. It was grits with cheese, sautéd bacon and shrimp.

Cat,

Make your grits and omelette your rewards meal..

Bella,
Hope weight watcher's works for you... it did for a friend of mine who has 4 kids and she wears a bikini and looks GREAT. Sickening actually..

Alty,
I will let you knowif it works.. :)

AND
Blackvy,

Your wife loves you just the way you are... ( just like billy Joe's song... awwwww :) )

Thanks Classy! I hope yours works for you too. Ill let you know how WW goes if you let me know how yours goes!

OK all older people... stop the worry about eating:rolleyes: We need to worry about exercise:eek:
Like how do you get your upper back back to muscle? I am constantly working with my upper body, but it has still gone downhill and really pissing me off.

Who you calling older? :p

Bella,

HA HA HA... I think she may mean ME.

I am doing Jazzersize... does that count?

Who you callin older? :p

I'm so sorry:) In my little pea brain everybody is my age and suffering the same problems as me:D

I eat what I want and do fine. Then again, I ride a bike everywhere I go. 4 miles everyday just to get to and from work. 6 to get to and from walmart.

I've never had grits. Just the word sounds icky. ;)

And I quote from "Mel's Diner", Mel!, Kiss my Grits!

Now does it really sound icky? hmm?

Alty, you can pay double and call them polenta if you want to.

Bella, use the coarsest ground cornmeal you can find. Shrimp and grits originated around your area, the Acadians brought it to Louisiana.

Okay so I just got back from work 4 hours ago... ugh so not sleepy. I keep rolling around and nothing.. I think I need to get me a prescription for some sleep :)

Since I'm up... how's it hangin'?

You don't have to bother getting a prescription for a sleeping aid. There are plenty of safe natural remedies sold over the counter nowadays which give you almost five hours of good sleep without waking up groggy.

Secret ingredient,, Manic episode:D

I am coming out of the typical winter time lows and in the spring my moods elevate(so much I have to lessen the antidepressants and begin taking anti anxiety meds)

That and I am basically a male!

I have heard a lot of people say that about moods dropping in winter and elevating in spring. I don't have that, I am elevated all the time. It is light deprivation you know, but I am out walking all through winter so I guess I am not bothered by light deprivation, or whatever.

I go tanning in the winter, the big time lighting and heat are most welcomed, and it's free(I do services for the shop),, plus I look great(Humble me), If I feel I look good,that is good enough for me(Naturally I like to hear others tell me I look good too:p, just saying

Ken congrats on quitting the cigarettes, proud of you!

Ken congrats on quitting the cigarettes, proud of ya!

Morning Sheriff, thanks,it really does mean a lot! :cool:

As you know, I really know how hard it is to quit. Quitting is easy, I have done it many times, staying quit is the goal... you can do this.

Well best of luck Ken. I've been trying to quit for some time now. It's only during the day that I crave them. That and when I see someone else smoking.

I was thinking of trying Champax (spelling?). It's supposed to have a 98% success rate. I was even hospitalized with pneumonia for three weeks, and when I got out, let me tell you that first smoke never tasted so good.

I've cut back significantly, but I can't seem to stop all together. Are you going cold turkey?

. Are you going cold turkey?

Nope, I am on the patch,I will have cravings and I am weak, lol, I just want to end this need for smoking,any way I can.

How can you be basically male?

Try putting a uv bulb in a lamp and sitting by it for a couple hours a day to relieve the seasonal depression. The bulbs are expensive, but I'm sure you'd rather pay a bit for a bulb every now and then rather than spend all winter depressed.

how can you be basically male?

Maybe he's got an extra part or two? :p

I know you don't know me(yet), but for the past 43 years(all my life) I have had depressive episodes,and manic episodes(they were called hyperactivity when I was young)

I have been through most every type of therapy,from actual light therapy,to biofeedback.Breathing therapy,etc.

The best I have ever been,(last winter),ended up with a serious manic fit after a full winter of levelness(this time last year I had a major overdose and a lengthy stay inpatient), I don't brush off others ideas for help,but I know what works for me,, and what doesn't.

Don't get me wrong,right now I am really high, the combination of the smoking patch and the seasonal changes has me off the wall, but not as bad as last year, and this year I have a very good professional support group.(Of which I use)

Hope this makes sense,I am so high right now,I'm not sure it does.:eek:

Hey guys! Great news.

Your positive vibes did work (at least, that's what I think :)) Mum got to the office of the social security today, and had the luck to meet with a kind mister. He understood the situation and said that we needn't worry, we'll be having the money from the previous months too! :)

Sorry to hear that KISS, I'll send the vibes back to you. That must be awful, that pollen allergic. I have a friend with that sort of allergic, and it's not nice at all for him... Good luck! :)


unky and alty-cat are hiding under my console. i think they're plotting something. should i be worried?

Positive thinking and good timing will do it every time, Unky.

All you nicotine fiends, don't quit. Just put off lighting the next one. I've been procrastinating on that for 3 years now. It may still be a while before I light my next one.

Uh, Cats... "fiends"? ;)

Oh, OK, I thought you meant 'friends' :confused: :o

Oh, ok, I thought you meant 'friends' :confused: :o

Nicotine friends? That doesn't even rhyme.

You know what I'm addicted to?

[loud t.v. like awwww]

Lol, Hi Muddy! :)

Thanks for moving the posts Ben! Except that part of our conversation went there :o

I'm addicted to perogies.

Those are delicious.

I'm eating pumpkin seeds right now...

Mmm dairy queen is having a buy one blizzard get the second for 25 cents!!

I know where I'm going tonight.

Oh BAM! Like peanut butter and jam! I don't know what it is about you Muddy, but you bringout the silly-ness in me! Thanks! :)

Oh BAM! Like peanut butter and jam!! I don't know what it is about you Muddy, but you bringout the silly-ness in me! Thanks! :)

I have that effect [affect?] on people.

However computer nerds I have to go to the store and buy me some ingredients for my dinner tonight. Don't you hate it when you have EVERYTHING for your meal and then it's like :

Blah
That thing
That other thing
This one
something you don't have
Oh yeah that
The other thing that goes after that one thing
That one thing

It annoys me... and I need it.

Just do not go to the grocery store when your hungry.

That list does not really help us out at all or gives us any idea what to do for dinner.

You could have done better LSS. I am disappointed... Na... Waa...

I got my first reddie, Whoo hooo.....
I know I deserved it. I gave a reddie, and I got one back... Pretty cool how that works. I love reddies. Thanks EMO (;

Can they be removed?
I received one not for what I posted on the board but a opinion of me as a person:confused: The reddie didn't make sense this person only has 7 posts!

Makes perfect sense. A uv bulb is just a simple, and fairly harmless, treatment for seasonal depression that works for a lot of people.

I did a paper of seasonal depression forever ago. It only had to be like 3-5 pages long, so I didn't get very in depth. I don't remember all of what I learned, but I remember enough to know that there isn't always a simple explanation for how weather effects our moods.

Just do not go to the grocery store when your hungry.

I just got back from the grocery store when I was hungry. I ended up accidentally skipping lunch. Food shopping when you're hungry is a REALLY bad idea when you ride a bike. I ended up hanging about 60 lbs off my handlebars.

I did, however stop by subway on the way home. A foot long sub just disappeared in under 10 minutes, and I'm still kind of hungry.

Even better, I have FOOD in my house again. And I got fresh food this time. Oranges, and salad, and cucumbers, and carrots, and a little watermelon. Somehow, the eggs survived the trip in the basket on my handlebars. I was sure they broke when I hit a big bump and everything in it almost flew out.

Nope, they just get buried under greenies. :D

OK! Just have to suck it up and take it like a Big Girl:p

Don't worry about it too much, reddies make things look festive. ;)

Most newbies don't read the rules, don't realize that reddies are only for factually incorrect info. It gets old fast, but you get used to it. :)

Don't worry about the rating thingy its fairly broken anyhoo :D

dont worry about the rating thingy its fairly broken anyhoo :D

Broken? Did someone put a stick in its spokes?

I think of it more along the lines of 'overwatering the plant'

Aww, the poor thing drowneded.

IT'S HOCKEY TIME!!

And there's a Gino's East Pizza in the oven(Chicago deep dish, real pizza):D:D:D

Hope y'all have a great night,, with 2 games on,I know I will!

Man... I have to have an American pizza one day... they sound awesome...

The best ones are papa john's pizza with mushrooms. They provide a garlic sauce that you dip the pizza in that makes it divine.

Damn... I'm getting hungry...

I like the Canadian ones MmMm

And the spinach and mushroom ones.

Yes, yes they do!

How's the kitty's? Did you go groccery shopping yet?

Dominoes are very nice, but a bit pricey :(

Ya Domino's is good, but I like Pizza Hut, with the stuffed crust.

Ooooo, yeah love the stuffed crust :D

With the ranch sipping sauce?!

Noooooooo, only sauce allowed on my pizza is barbecue, and the tomato base obviosly :)

BBQ?? Ewwwws. Maybe on a Bbq chicken pizza, but like a peperoni pizza?

Any pizza, even just a plain mozzerella, barbecue just adds that tang that piza should always have :)

Ill have to try it sometime, but I can't see itbeing good lol. I like ranch dipping sauce. Especially the bacon cheesy ranch dipping sauce.

That doesn't sound too nice, I've found that 'sauces' that claim to taste the same as a food product, are never a good thing.

Honestly I would put barbecue sauce on most foods, but then that would be too much of a good thing so it has to be saved for special meals :)

You people are evil... here I am.. about 3 hours away from lunch, and I'm hearing you guys talk about seriously mouth-watering food... :(

Sorry blacky :(

If it makes you feel any better I had some mouth watering fish and chips for my tea, cooked by yours truly, spash of vinegar and a pinch of salt, you know what I mean, purfect :)

Yes, yes they do!

How's the kitty's? did you go groccery shopping yet?

Kitties are fine. The babies love crawling under my console to hide and play. I think a big part of that is because mommy doesn't fit under there, so she can't pin them down and give them baths.

Yes, I went grocery shopping. Ended up with probably about 60 lbs (27 kg) of food hanging off my handlebars. The basket I got yesterday says that any more than 6.5 lbs (3 kg) of weight on your handlebars jeopardizes steering. Well, not only does 60 lbs jeopardize steering, but it also puts so much pressure on the front tire that every bump makes it feel like the tire exploded.

If you hit a big enough bump, then the eggs in your basket WILL jump 6 inches in the air and land on their side. Luckily, the bread in the basket with them will keep them from breaking. You will however, skid sideways in the gravel and then almost hit a wall when all the weight makes you overcompensate your steering when you try to stop so you can right the eggs and save the sub you just bought for dinner from falling out.

Not bad Bear...

Well we just had dinner, grilled out 4 thick steaks (medium). Juiciest damn steaks I have had in a long time. They tasted great with a cold salad with Italian dressing and cheese broken into it... damn!

But you know what was the best part? Grilling those delicious thick strips... you know the sizzle and man that great smell waiting was almost as good as that first bite... delicious! :)

Stringer... man am I full!

LOL, seriously, I'm laughing with you! I have the funniest mental picture in my head right now.

When I have to go to tha hell hole, some call work tomorrow, I am going to think of that post, and laugh. Probably out loud.

I'm jealous, moved out from Chicago 18 years ago and still can't find a decent pizza, have to make my own and get it shipped from Lou Malnottis. (spelling?)

More food talk... hmmm...

Think I might have a small "snack"... ;)

me careening wildly down a hill, hitting gravel, and veering toward a wall, all while the contents of my basket fly up in the air and the bags hanging from my handlebars send me wobbling?

laugh away. The people at the red light watching me, certainly did ^_^

Ok, now picture me telling YOU that story! That's good comedy right there! :)

That's like the time my sweater got caught in the shredding machine at work. Yup it really happens, and yup it really sucked.

But yeah I know what you mean that 'meat frying smell',good thing I'm full or I might be partial to a 2.20 am fry up :D

New York Strip Bear, fresh and very tender, about 2 1/2 inches thick. I hammer it and put about 6 spices on them including my secret... powdered butter. It melts into the steak... MAN, good!

Makes me want to just go out and smell the grill again.. ha ha...

What kind of meat is that?

what kind of meat is that?

It is just a cut of steak Bear. Mostly meat with a little marbled fat for added taste with a side bone... like I said great cut and delicious.

Why not just fire it up Bear? 2:30 in the morning isn't a reason not too... enjoy!

Beef..? It's just the type of cut.

Cut from the short loin, the strip steak consists of a muscle that does little work, and so it is particularly tender, though not as tender as the nearby ribeye or tenderloin.

Beef...?? It's just the type of cut.

Or a prime cut... but great for the grill. And of course you have to know what you are doing when you pick them at the meat store.

Absolutely. Still delicious! I like a good fillet mignon.

Ok, now picture me telling YOU that story!! That's good comedy right there! :)

Oh, I know it was amusing. It was amusing when it was happening. I'm fine and my bike is fine and all my food is fine, so I see no reason to not laugh about it.

My philosophy is; as long as no one is hurt, you might as well laugh.

My mother doesn't like my philosophy. It might have something to do with the time the tire flew off the car. We were driving home after she came to get me for break. The car had been making weird noises for awhile. As were driving through a little town, the front driver's side tire just came off. The car went one way. The wheel went another, and kept going until it hit a church. I cracked up laughing, went to get the tire, and was STILL laughing when I rolled it back to the car. That was 4 years ago and, as of last summer, there's still a trench in the road where our axel took a chunk out of it. I still laugh when I pass that church.

Absolutely. Still delicious! I like a good fillet mignon.

Well that was the 'prime' I was referring to. I usually get fillets but change occasionally, each has a different taste... damn, I am getting hungry again too! :rolleyes:

Steak is the type of cut, i.e really thick

As bella mentioned beef, because that's usually what steaks are made from
But gammon is just thick bacon, i.e a pork steak


Just wondering what animal its from basically, but no worries :D


Normally it wouldn't matter what time, but I'm still full from tea, and unfortunately my steaks are still frozen :)

Hi Kitty :), is it OK if I call you that?
I don't think we've been properly introduced yet have we :confused:

Nope but I used to put pop rocks, and fizz candy's. Do you guys remember those drinks called Orbitz?

Have any of you ever put peanuts in a bottle of coke when you were younger?

I've done the mentos one :)

Do you guys like my new avi? That's my girl Lady. She's got a face only a mother could love.

No?

I mentioned it to my daughter and she said yuck mom... When we were kids we would buy a pack of peanuts put them in a bottle of coke and drink the coke and eat the peanuts! Must be a Southern thing. How are you Stringer?

I'm just fine Kit, thanks for asking.

Of course, using pics of your pets as your avi is like wearing a badge showing how proud you are of them :)

Oops thanks for the correction stringer, Hi Kit :)

Thank you pilgrim, thank you.

New York Strip Bear, fresh and very tender, about 2 1/2 inches thick. I hammer it and put about 6 spices on them including my secret....powdered butter. It melts into the steak...MAN, good!

Makes me want to just go out and smell the grill again..ha ha....

I have never heard of powered butter, where do you get it?

I have thanks, they were interesting reads, didn't agree with some parts and others were 'hmmm, that could work' moments.

I haven't caught this weeks yet assignment deadlines and all that jazz, I should be working on one now, but I just really stuck with it and can't seem to make any headway other than what I've done, and there isn't anything else that I could be doing with it either :(

Usually I can hear you tail wagging before you make an entrance when you hear things like that!

I have never heard of powered butter, where do you get it?

Grocery store... here it is at Jewel and Dominicks, in the spice racks... great stuff, I put it on burgers too...

I was wondering the same thing JD. Is it something you make Stringer?

I agree, they do offer some different perspectives... I haven't received last week's as yet I'll forward it when I do.

Well I am off for a while... hungry again... dangerous since I have lost over 40 pounds in the last 7 months... later guys.

See you Kit.

K I hate to change the topic, but I am watching the news, and this woman is on here totally appalled because they are teaching her daughter, who is in grade three, about same sex marriages.

She isn't upset because they are explaining the different types of family units, she is upset, because they are going so far as talking about how gay men are at a higher risk of contracting HIV!! Wow, a little tense for grade three don't you think?

It's not the fake butter stuff right?

Night Stringer! Well now, everyone's leaving!

It's not the fake butter stuff right??

Ya know JD I haven't checked the label, could be, however it tastes great. I'll check and get back to you hon.

Bye for now...

Well I am off for a while...hungry again...dangerous since I have lost over 40 pounds in the last 7 months.....later guys.

Later stringer, wish I could lose that kind of weight in that kind of time, but it doesn't sound too healthy, take care

Night kit

Agreed, in a way its like child abuse, they will learn about that kind of thing when they are closer to being ready, but at such a young age, it really is stupid

Think ill head off as well, night all :)

I completely agree with teaching kids that not all families are a mommy and a daddy and 2.5 kids. It's something children NEED to know.

They do NOT need to be told that gay men get aids and die. That's exactly how it translates for a 3rd grader. They're told that gay men run a higher risk of getting hiv, and they hear that all gay men get aids and die. It's just too subtle a difference for them to completely understand at that age.

Go ahead. Teach them about all the different kinds of families and that ALL families are good and deserve respect and love. Teach them understanding and acceptance. Do NOT teach them that one demographic gets sick just because of who they are.

^ - agreed, this describes in more accurate terms what I meant :)

I want to know if they realize what that will do to all the little boys who, in a few years, suddenly realize that their bodies react to other little boys. They are going to have a voice in their heads telling them that they're going to get aids and die. It's not going to be connected with unprotected sex. In their young minds, being a gay male causes hiv. Nothing else.

It doesn't MATTER what they learn later. The thing that will stick with them is the first thing they learned. That being gay will kill them. They probably won't even realize that the thought is there. They'll probably just feel like being gay is sick. They may never connect it to that lesson they had in school when they were little, but the connection will still be there.

It's already hard enough to realize you're gay in today's world. They don't need any added stigma. What they need, is to grow up in a world that doesn't see race, religion, heritage, income, or gender. Since that isn't going to happen, they need to grow up without anyone telling them that one group is any less healthy or deserving or special or equal than any other.

Things like that just make me want to smack someone.

That is exactly what the world is, it's just not going to happen.

Try explaining alcoholism to the country folks, or bipolar disorder to a group of construction workers.

The world just isn't an accepting place.

No, but it needs to be.

I would love a good steak right about now. Medium rare, seasoned to perfection, side of mashed garlic potatoes and asparagus with hollandaise sauce.

Sigh.

I'm drooling on my keyboard just thinking about it.

Hheath, I have never agreed with someone so whole heartadly inmy life.

As I continued to watch, it was most disturbing in one place where they were going as far as teaching the kids about how babies were made, and how gay people have sex.

I could see the confusion and curiosity in those children's faces as they were interviewing their parents on the subject.

J, mind if I vanish with you? I've been feeling a bit low myself. Got tested for my tyhroid. I could sure use a good vanishing.

I hope you feel better soon. I hope everything works out for you.

I wanna go too. Let's go to the beach? I feel really blue today!

I don't live near a beach, but I do live near the river.. lol sound funny. But seriously, there are really no beaches in this crappy city.. Buildings have swallowed most of the land so we have side walks and mini parks by the river.

Anywhozzil good morning all.

I finally went to sleep after work, and guess what no pills.

-- how did I do it? With my new BOB.. hahahaha

At that age, it's up to the PARENTS to explain sex to their kids. Third graders are 8-9 years old. Schools need to wait until they're at least 11-13 before going into details about sex. It's simple not an appropriate conversation at school for an age group that young.

Give them all the correct names for body parts. Explain about the different types of families. Give the basics of how the reproductive system works. But schools just do NOT need to be explaining the finer points of sex that young.

Was it a cookie or a gold star?

I want the doggies...

I want the doggies...

All of them? :eek:

I like number 4, she's got soulful eyes.

I want the doggies...

Number 2 and Chloe would get on well.

Number 2 and Chloe would get on well.

That's a Bernese mountain dog! They're huge! I love the breed, they're gorgeous dogs, just too much for me to handle.

Come for a visit and adoption. Chloe and Bernie can grow up together. :)

Damm you Alty, the last picture, the black shepard, awwww nooooooooooooooo, want but can't have :'(

damm you Alty, the last picture, the black shepard, awwww nooooooooooooooo, want but can't have :'(

That face is just asking for loves and kisses. I can see you with that dog Bear.

I also picture you with number 4. That dog just has so much soul in her eyes. If I didn't already have my limit I'd be bringing her home.

What do I have to do to talk you into it? :)

Oooooh, you wouldn't have to talk me into it if I could, but I can't give a dog a good home, not yet anyway :(

oooooh, you wouldnt have to talk me into it if i could, but i can't give a dog a good home, not yet anyway :(

There will always be dogs in the shelter, that's a sad fact, so call me when you're ready and we'll get you a furry friend. :)

If I could, I would give them all a home. However, though Rissa forgave me for bringing Chloe home, I don't think she would be as forgiving if I brought home a few million. (On second thought, I don't think Cats would be either.)

I don't think I should adopt any more pets for a very long time. My track record is interesting.

About 3 years ago, I adopted a couple kittens form my sister. They were both boys, even the vet said so. Then one of them got pregnant and had four babies.

A couple months ago, I adopted a little stray. She had six babies.

Every time I adopt a pet they end up giving birth.

Hell, I even ended up adopting a pregnant fish. Granted, the babies got eaten before I could do anything about it, but they were still there.

Oh and Cat thanks for the balancer :)

Oh and Cat thanks for the balancer :)

No problem. :)

How are you tonight Cat?

How are you tonight Cat?

Doing well. Trying not to let a couple peeves get bigger. :)

How are you doing?

A little bummed out. Feeling kind of invisible these days. Been thinking of taking a break from a few things. One being the shelter. I'm trying to keep my peeves to a minimum, but I am failing miserably.

Are your peeves anything you want to talk about?

Are your peeves anything you want to talk about?

They aren't anything new. I am just not letting them get to me.

As far as I can tell you aren't invisible here. Did you change your settings? :confused: :)

Everything okay at the shelter?

No, it's not okay at the shelter. It's taking a toll on my life and it's making me feel like an awful human being. I don't know what's wrong with me. I feel... stupid. It's not even about me, but I seem to be making it about me.

This dog is getting put down, I don't think he should be. I am so upset with the things I have been seeing. And I feel helpless, it's completely out of my control. I used to love going on the dog forum, I really used to enjoy it. Now I can't even bring myself to go on it.

I can't even explain how I feel right now. I think I may take some time off AMHD too. I don't know what's wrong with me.

I am sorry about the dog. Working at animal shelters can take a huge toll on anyone with a heart and I know you have a big one. Taking a break might be a good idea before you get totally burned out.

I can tell you that the past couple of weeks have not been easy on you. From surgery, going back to work early and topping it off with the news about getting laid off. It is enough to send anyone into a downward spiral. Maybe you need to switch outlets for a few days. Give yourself time to recharge by spending time with your family (daughter and pup).

No one would think less of you if you need some 'me' time. As you have probably noticed, you will be missed (by me for just one person) and if you ever want advice just start a thread. Not only will you get advice, you will get comic relief and probably end up with it hijacked a few times. :)

Thanks Cat. You know, I may give it a few days to clear my head, and do that (start a thread). You're right, maybe I just have too much on my plate right now.

You are an awesome person, and I appreciate you.
