So I think from now on, in my journal, I will try to write down 10 things each day to be grateful about. Thanks for being you Ash. :)

Finally....Ash, what the heck is Tyah doing when she is "doing binkies"?:)

---

Aww, thanx :) Thats a good idea about writing down ten things!

When Tyah, Or Julian does a bikie it's a jump in the air where they through there whole body around and there legs go everywhere and then they land. LOL It's funny to watch I'll try to get a video of her doing one and post it on PT if I can figure how to post it that is :rolleyes:

Ash :D

Awwww....LIFE...so hard, but yet so good. You just have to jump on that roller coaster and hold on tight and enjoy every twist, turn and loop de loop and see where it takes you.

Thanx, adn I love that song, I listen to it all the time, LOL.

I love the last thing you said in your post, it explains life so well!

Ash

Lut!! We wanna know how lil' inky pinky is!! I havn't seen you on msn for a while either :(
Cataholic- How are your little furry states??

Joyce...I wish you the best of luck with your surgery and a speedy recovery. I am very overweight myself so I know all the thought process you must have put in to make this decision. I only live about 45 min. south of Columbus. What hospital are you doing this at and what doc.? You have to tell me all about it. You can pm me if you want. I'll be thinking about you. I know how rough surgery can be and I'm glad you have people around to help you out. Thank you for explaining about the radiation area and a little bit about how it works. I go to get measured and set up again on Monday (just had a huge session of this on Thur.) and then I will start my actual radiation on Tuesday. I'm a bit nervous about it. Definitely not looking forward to going there everyday. Take care Joyce and let me know how everything goes. I'm really curious about it.

:) Robin

Ash,
That is so true,
When I start feeling sorry for myself,
I just have to remember how very lucky I actually am,
because there are many people worse off than me.
I still have my health and a family that loves me.
That alone is worth all the money in the world.


Joyce.... You are right, it was other Drs. staff
walking down the hall with the open window.
I just did not like them looking in, while they
were walking by. (This was a private
Dr. clinic and not my regular HMO hospital) that
is usually very private.

I think Carnie Wilson (sp) had gastric bypass surgery a year ago?
SHe looks great. I am still waiting for the wonder pill
you can take, eat what every you want
and loose weight.
I will be thinking of you that your surgery
goes safe and well.
NExt week is right around the corner. How
long will you be in the hospital and when
after recovery will you be able to be on Pet Talk?
(I already want updates) :)

Karen

My furry little states are pretty good, thanks. I updated Cat General on Minnie, Tex had a rough night last night, but, seems better this am. Allie slept on Binx's bed last night while Binx slept on the floor (:eek: ), Georgia looks like she has lost some weight, which is good, and Dakky and Tenny? Well, they are nothing but love, and are perfect.

Miss Meow, how is the new house?

---

Really good, thanks :) It's a quiet street and the neighbours we've met seem nice. We've planned the vege garden and some of the back yard, just need time and money to start digging holes and buying trees while the weather is still cool. There is a horse paddock over the back fence, so I lose Shane most afternoons while he's out feeding them carrots or whatever other treats he finds in the fridge ... The kitchen is still pink, but that can wait. We have a large feral or outdoors cat that calls our backyard its territory at night, so when our cats are out the back for a walk Mini sprays where the other cat has been (I never realised he wanted to be our dominant 'protector' cat :))

What a great thread!!!

My internet was down for a week or so, and it's been a busy week here. Back to school for Penn State means less staff during the days for us, and busier dinners, so I have been working a lot. Last Sunday was our first wedding anniversary, and Riley got the big snip on Wednesday. We adopted another doggie too, on Wednesday, so we have been pretty busy!!!

Thanks to everyone who asked about me!!!!

YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I don't get to the dog side much, I always run out of time)

Get over there Jen--she's a beautiful girl!!!

I have been wondering about some of you:

Foam: how are you? And how is everything going at home? I sure hope things have calmed down a bit!

Anna_66: I noticed your mom in pictures from the meeting--how are she and your father doing since their accident?

KayAnn: How is Simba??

I was wondering about Binx too, but it seems to be already answered.

Cookiebaker: last time I was on (a week ago), I vaguely remember you having some trouble with Malone--how is he now? What did the trainer say??

Neat thread :)

Thanks for everyone who asked about me. It really was a pleasant suprise.

My cousin and my aunt are holding up fairly well. I don't know if my aunt has gone back to work yet, but I know my cousin has gone back to school. I think they are trying to keep things normal; does that make sense?

Bassett is going in for an ultrasound on Wednesday. I won't really know what's going on with her until that's done :)

Thanks again! :)

Simba is doing allright. Him and I are both a bit under the weather.

i dunno , how is EVERYONE?

*sighs*

thanks dayna (sp).. Im doing fine!! lol

*Bump* I like reading how everyone is doing.

So even if you weren' asked specifically why not tell us how you are???


Ash :D

Even though this is more pet related than personal, I feel more relaxed than I have in 2 weeks. Admittedly, I now need to give 3 cats pills every day, but the house is quiet and so far, dry.

*sigh*

It's been a lonnnng 2 weeks, with school and all. I feel so crappy... and I get mad at everyone and everything... But that's just me... It happens a lot. Lol..

School's been okay, but today I realized I left my gym clothes in one of my class rooms cuz I had to carry em around all day... that's not good on my part... (way to go me...)

Abby's great, sleeping on the floor beside me right now. She could use a haircut, but oh well, it's almost winter, we won't nude-ify her until next Spring or so... ;)

Eggroll is okay, he is a little calmer without Cleo. I've been doing okay without Cleo, (RIP :( ) It's like... WOW... I miss her a lot, even though I only had her for a month or so... Tang, Crayola, their usual selves... they are fine...

On to Gavin... (Enjoy's bragging) Well he got his 3 shots a few days ago.... (my poor baby... his legs are so sore...) He is such a happy baby... always smiling...

I also have to add one more thing. When my brother and I wanted to get a dog (Abby) we wrote them a letter telling them how responsible we are... blah blah blah. Well, I know my parents said I couldn't get another animal, but I am writing them a letter explaining about a bird. I am not sure if it will work, but hey, it's worth a try! I told them about how sorry I was about the cats, if Willow hadn't of gotten pregnant, I don't think we would have been in the situation we were in. I told them I don't always keep my promises, but they can trust me now. I have recently fallen in love with my cousin's parakeet and I want one SO bad! (I've already picked out names!) I just hope it works. I also told them this was ALL I wanted for my birthday.

Sorry for wasting board space...

as if! ;) i enjoy reading your posts

*ask's myself how i am* *shrugs* im ok, stressing about money at the moment and finding a job.

and just generally down, had a real crap year so far (deaths in family, divorce, nearly losing a dog to a severe infection :( etc )

but clover is doing well (she pinched her Sciatica nerve in her back and was unable to do anything for a few days) she is getting more active and back to her usual self each day *yay* but i am seriously thinking about retiring her from real competitive Flyball, and putting her in one of the slower less competitive teams *sighs*

other than all that crap im alive n healthy and am going to stop whinging now

Chinadoll, how are you and how is Joey. I hope for you and for all the other PetTalkers who have someone in the military that they have been able to hear from their loved one and that he or she is all right.

I am fine, it is my birthday and I am going to work for the afternoon (new product launch) and out to dinner later.

I didn't see this until now. Thanks for asking. Joey and I are great. He's just got back in the States last Friday. I'm ecstatic that he's back on US soil. However, we're not sure how long they're going to keep them in CA. While I'm relieved he's back in the US, knowing that he's so very close to coming home is driving me crazy. He's been gone since March. I just want him home. We can talk to each other regularly now, and every time I talk to him, I miss him so much more. But, we're doing great otherwise :)

Happy Belated Birthday! Hope you had a great one.

Bump

I'm gonna waste some more board space...

I feel so sick... I have a cold and I get horrible headaches EVERY day... It's getting me angry, and I come home and sleep half the time to get rid of my headache, but end up waking up with a worse headache then before. My neck hurts, my shoulders from carrying around my HUGE back pack all day... I'm just full of complaints. I have gone through a whole box of kleenexes in a matter of a few days, and it won't stop. *sigh*

That's MY crappy week.

Yeah Meg, I've stayed home three days. Friday, Monday, and Today. Hopefully i'll go in tomorrow, I don't want to miss anymore work. My nose is stuffed and all I did last nigth was cough and cough. I don't think I even got any sleep. I just got done eating two cans of chicken noodle soup lol.

Oohhh... Share Bob... we don't have any... NO ONE IN MY HOUSE GETS SICK EXCEPT MEEEEE!!!!!!

*cries over her pityful self*

Oh well... dad's making spaghetti... yum! ;)

Thanks for your concern Jen, I have just posted in general, but will tell you mum is in surgery right this minute, so I am feeling anxious, but it sure helps to be here, I was temporarily offline but back on again, so life is normal again sigh, relief lol.:)

How is the cold and beesting Meg?

Joyce and Robin I am thinking of you both, and wishing you all the best.

And to everyone have a happy day.:)

We have like 3 cans left. :p No one eats it in my house except me!

I just updated my bee sting thread, but my cold is still bothering me... I'm wondering if it's my sinuses again, they HAVE bugged me before and I had to go get some prescription meds... the size of huge Jelly Beans!! *shudders*

Otherwise, I'm okay... gotta keep up on my school work though, 2 things I didn't have finished were due today!! *oops*

Meg get a bowl of boiling water, and put a few drops of eucaluptus(sp ) oil in it or if you have none just salt and put a towel over your head and breathe in for about 5 mins or more, do this twice to three times daily, it will help those sinuses, being a fellow sufferer I use this method and it is recommended by the doctors., better than using nasal sprays etc, which end up blocking you up more in the long run, and can only be used for a short time.

Soledad, how are things with your new neighbour???

That's why I chose that picture when I made your sig! Its hilarious! Glad you liked it! :p

hope everyone is well, colds n stuff etc

I am recovering from a nasty case of food poisoning this weekend when I went into PA to visit my niece.

Oh you poor thing! Food poisening is NASTY! Hope you are feeling better soon. Try some plain biscuits (like digestives or ginger snaps) to help absorb the rubbish in your system - I know it's awful to eat - knowing what's going to happen but it usually helps clean you out more quickly.

Also watch your electrolytes levels - you get special anti-dehydration stuff at the drug store - I ended up in hospital once - not from the food poisening itself, but from the resultant dehydration!

Hope you feel better soon!
