I'm watching the Westminster dog show and smiling! All the different dogs - big ones, small ones, fluffy and smooth coats! Dogs that can sit in your lap or take up the whole chair! It's a yucky evening, weather-wise, so watching dogs helps a lot!

I lived for no school snow days. 😻💕❤️
I don't like this new format one measly bit. Nope, not at all.

Everything is back and all is right with the world 🤓😎😬🤦🏾♀️👍🏿😻🤜🏻🤛 forgive me 😺
Aww, okay, no problem!Quote:

Not really sure I get that. So, you get stuck on the bus on the way to school. Then what, you are stuck on the freakin bus with peeps who may, or may not be in your grade, your class our you have never spoken too before. On the way home, at least that bullshit is over. Never took a school bus in my life. My parents either drove me or I walked.... or did not attend. I'm not proud of it but I spent a lot of time in th office 😳 I always thought our public school system was extremely crappy and I was fairly hesitant to attent. That, and the fact that I was always called to the office on the P.A. System sort of discouraged me. I skipped out 2 out of days.
Oops, 2 out of 5 days a week. That is why I so smart
So sorry your public school experience was so poor - I loved school when I was learning, when I got bored I would draw or do something else. I am awful at taking notes, but am okay with that. Upper grades were more fun as there were challenging things to learn. Didn't like all my teachers, but learning I did like. And the college I attended didn't require much note taking, so it was all good!
I did love snow days, though! Stay home, bake cookies, play Monopoly or read and shovel!
You really do have the best attitude Karen. That's the spirit, I truly admire that. Actually, grade 5 wasn't too bad, 8 and 9... pure hell 😳👹💩
What a morning 🙄 Thought my husband had the day off. Turns out he has Mon.off. So....I woke up wondering where he went, and around 10 a.m. I started to freak a bit so I voxed him.....hi, where are you??? I thought maybe he went to Walmart. No one goes to Walmart for 3 hrs. I am at work! 🙄😬 I didn't even make his lunch because I thought he had the day off and he doesn't need any fast food. I'm on a real roll here 🦃 Ya, not the end of the world but jeeeeeez 😐 🙈 💩
Well, now Monday will feel like a bonus day with him! :)Quote:

Well considering i live quite far from town it seemed the crap had just hit the fan if the bus got stuck on the way home as coming home there was way more route that the bus had to cover. least going to school all that route was already done before picking me up an a stuck bus going to school equaled skipped classes instead of having all the them. was win win LOL
my parents had work early in the morning so i never got the chance to have them take me to school. sometimes theyed pick me after school though if they were in town already for whatever reason/s.
i always did my homework on the bus to pass the time. but really whether going to/from school or on the train or on a plain theres always those of every age we dont know an most likely never will
LOL I hated Public school. I liked Senior Year, but that was about it. :p College was great, IMO. It was definitely the right amount of challenge and held my interest because I was studying what I wanted. However, it was definitely great to graduate and realize I NEVER had to do it ever again. College was stressful for me, and I guess real life can be, but I like having more free time! :)
I have a random thought, has anyone heard the song by Dead South, Good Company? I figure it's well worth a listen. Easy to Google, you need to sort of watch the video whilst you listen I'm thinking.
What does the rainbow bridge mean? Do people actually think that our pets die and are jettisoned to some magical bridge with a rainbow constantly hovering over it? Is it a bridge formed out of a rainbow? Then what happens? So.... they're dead, go to the rainbow bridge and then what? They are like, in heaven, living in eternal bliss..... is that what you all mean. Does it have something to do with the song "somewhere over the rainbow! I am sincerely curious, otherwise I would not inquire. Please correct me if I am mistaken. Sounds like a very interesting take, that's for sure. I have never had a clue as to what the hell this means. Merely guesses.
The often shared story, based on an old Norse Legend:
Quote:
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor;
those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

just seen the rainbow bridge image. its really pretty :)

This gives me so much comfort. When I cross the bridge I hope to be reunited with several loved and much missed family pets (not only Cassie, my RB girl but others too). Also Pet Talk people, dogs, cats and pets!
On a completely different note- Chicagoland has a forecast for more snow tomorrow, possible freezing rain in the afternoon. I know December was mild, but I’m ready for nicer weather. We did a huge snowstorm, we did a few days of very cold temperatures. Hurry up, spring!
I'm ready for spring, and I used to love snow and cold weather.
I haven't been outside since January 20th.
I love to get into the car and turn on the heater until it gets HOT inside the car.
A few weeks ago it was sooooo cold outdoors the car never heated up.
Puhleeeeeese 😫😪😥😢snap out of it peeeps!! We'll be whining about the heat soon enough.
It's been snowing off and on here for weeks. The sweeping, the shovelling, driving, the trying to keep the hummingbird feeder fresh and unthawed. The freezing our asses off. Really a boring subject and a given if you live wherever ....it is bound to occur. That is all anyone talks about around here. Not Pet Talk peeps, but everyone I know. I'm going to hibernate. F*ck the weather 👻💀☠️
Here's a random thought. My favorite cousin has prostate cancer, his name is Trent. They are going to remove his prostate, the entire shebang, this bloody Tues. He is only 50, a very handsome, loving , kind person. I have a huge, loving family. Trent is everyone's favorite. He is a Pitt bull lover and has one now named Harley. He has had many Pitt bulls, and now Harley, she's SO lovely. He has a beautiful, loving wife. She has a deadly black cat, Luna. They spoon. We are all pretty much scared shitless. We all bought SO much food to put in their freezer. M&M stuff, homemade blah blah blah. Our family feeds peeps, it's what we do. So, weird eh? Anyway, they have a big freezer. I know they don't need this, wasn't our idea, but can't hurt. The question is, how do YOU deal with fear? Hey, nothing anyone could say could possibly freak me out anymore than I already am.
First, I want to say how very sorry I am for the diagnosis. I'm glad that you have a large family to deal with this. The more support, the better. And a fully stocked freezer is a great help.
There is no way that a cancer diagnosis doesn't cause fear. To me, fear makes me more cautious, even though in the early stages, one might act irrationally. Eventually I become calm enough to think everything through and to deal with it. Recently, I had to make some huge, life-altering decisions. It was scary at first, but I'm well on my way now.
Dear mon, I'm so sorry to learn about Trent and his diagnosis. We are sending lots of warm, loving thoughts and prayers and healing energies that the surgery goes well with promising results and Trent recovers comfortably. That is great that he has this huge, loving family, including Harley and Luna, AND you, mon, to be with him through it all. And how handy to have a nice, full freezer!
How do I deal with fear? I don't think I have a tried and true method. I'm afraid. I try and give myself time and space to figure how best to deal with whatever I'm facing.

Thank you phesina and cats4ever. What you shared means so much. Thanks again. I'm a wreck inside emotionally but... only when I think about it. I hope when they get in there, they find it hasn't spread. The thought is unbearable. So unbearable.
Me again, my Aunty just e mailed me about Trent. He goes in at 6 a.m tommorrow and the surgery will happen, it is suppose to take 4 and 1/2 hrs. He is scheduled to stay at least 4 days. Oh my God. Sounds a lot worse by the minute really, doesn't it. Sh*t! Glad my husbands asleep, I can't stop crying. I think I need a tranquilizer 😜🙃 Anyway, it's 10:30 here and since I have no sedatives, i whippped out the breadmaker and am attempting to bake a loaf. Simple, really. Just follow the recipe and voila. I am an excellent baker but Shawn always does this. All two times I have tried this 🙄😱 Epic fail. Not sure why, I think he throws an egg in it, his secret trick 😎 SO... this time that's just what I did. Hope it works, if not it will still smell good and kept me busy for a bit. The house is so clean, like sooooo clean. Guess I'll read, thanks for hearing me out. Gotta go cry some more. Thanks again ❤️
Hey there, my cousin Trent got out of surgery and is recovering a very good hospital ( I think, Hope 🤞🏾) We will know more soon. If all goes accordingly, he should be kicked out on Thursday. I should be getting an update soon, I feel so much better now that it's over. I told him a couple days ago, I said " Trent, honey if I could do this for you, I'd do it in a heartbeat" . He said, " I would SO totally let you cuz". Then he said, don't worry, my Surgeon is so great, I have a video of him operating. It was a video of a really shaky hand playing the game Operation and doing a very piss poor job 😍💕🤧
