I hope things work out for everyone. Life can be very strange and people even stranger. PT is such a wonderful place and it is that way because each and everyone of us have made it that way. God bless to all.

I deleted my post about Gina needing a therapist because Karen asked me to. I still stand by my opinion.
Nowhere did I say you should give up your cats.Quote:
because ... ? to tell me how I should deal with this differently or any less than who I am and give up my cats because 11 is "too much" afterall I am upset over this? no way and never.
"Snide comment" withdrawn - the related post I quoted has been deleted ...
my comment made no sense without the other post.
Appologies to Gina and All.

because you're a pet talker and only we understand. this is why we pick this place and come here for love, help and prayers. sometimes I'm not so sure.Quote:

guys, I am off now, there are some important things than this that needed to be done - I will reply to PMs later, tomorrow likely.
good bye for now and thank you friends.
I am appalled that you guys would ever treat someone you don't even KNOW like this.. please don't judge Gina. She asked for prayers, not to be grilled. we've all had rough times in our lives, walk a mile in someone's shoes before you ever judge someone. Gina, please know you're in my thoughts and prayers. If you ever need anything, please PM me. (((hugs)))
Gina, you have hugs and prayers from me.
I can't believe some people had the gaul to start what they did in this thread. (Obviously they've had boring, dull lives. Or were blessed with lives with out tragedy and would never understand.) I tell you... it's put things in perspective... I've been lucky on the other forum i post to that I've never been accused of lying about all the stuff that's happened. As the phrase goes... "If it weren't for bad luck I'd have none at all." That's how it feels sometimes.
I really hope you get some news soon.
(I personally am going to be checking here for updates. PMs irritate me and i only use them sparingly. I much prefer email or IM.)
I haven't responded to this before now, but Gina, you have been in my thoughts and I hope things start to go your way soon. You deserve a break, that's for certain!
Thinking of you too Gina and your cats, hope everything works out for all of you. :)
It may be hard to believe that so much has happened to one person....... but donīt we all??........ I myself have had my share of things, I just donīt post about them all (not that itīs bad) and I sure would love for people to be here for me, not to kick me when Iīm down.........if those are my "friends".... why should I need enemies??
some may be skeptical, but whatever you wanna think, Gina needs help and support and if you donīt want/feel like it, let us who DO want give it to her, do, even if the situation is too much to believe (to some)........
and even if her zillion posts were all "tragedies" I will be here to support her and lend a shoulder......... and just place the other cheek if need be.......
If she shares her tragedies, shes vulnerable and needs someone to lean on not someone to stumble her....
there are several people who do post as drama queens just looking for attention, but Gina is not one of them...... might her life seem like "drama"....yes, but take a look at your own........ we each have different "dramas" and we deal with them differently..... I just ask you to not be what you would not like other persons to be with you when you need a lift up.......
Gina, I do have you in my thoughts, and will be here for you always, you can count on me........ I hope everything gets settled and your friend and beloved kitties get found safe and sound.....
That was very well said, Isabel!Quote:

As much as I respect you, comments like this and others I have witnessed, on this thread and others are totally unnecessary.Quote:

We are members of a public group, where we get taken advantage of, at times, and have worthy causes to support, at others. I take everything at face value, these days, and I support those who claim to need it, without figuring out a way to bash them. What goes around, comes around, and frankly, I'd rather be on the side of positive support, rather than bashing all of those whose situations seem off.
Gina, my best wishes and prayers go to you and your cat family.

Sorry! I SHOULD have been more kind ... BUTT:Quote:

I offer this "excuse" why SOME of us are appearing to become "negative" ---
It's due to our extreme FRUSTRATION after trying for YEARS to "help" with
all sorts of previous problems, illnesses, hospitalizations, sick FurKids,
homelessness, broken cars, and the list goes on ...
MANY of us have spent sleepless nights and long days trying to make "arrangements"
via phone and keyboard, we've contributed money, one Family opened their Home as a refuge ...
the "Thanks" have been few and far between ...
The "complaints" after the acts of kindness have been many. http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/frown.gif
You're right, Logan ... we and *I* should just button our lips and Keep QUIET!
The old saw of
"If you can't say something NICE; say Nothing at all" certainly should apply here.
Sorry to ALL ~ and BEST of Luck and Good Times to Gina and the Ark!!

Gina, I hope that you, your cats, and your friend are all okay.
Gina asked me to let everyone know she appreciates the thoughts and prayers. And she is trying to keep people updated via PMs instead of posting on this thread any longer. If you have not received a PM from her, please be patient. She has limited signal and will get to them as she can.
It is my understanding and experience that Gina shows her thankfulness and gratitude to fellow PTers through not only her posts but PM's as well.
I am sure most of you can understand why she has decided to not continue to post on this thread.
Thank you.
