At the risk of sounding naive here, if people wanted to help Mystic but were nervous about sending money, why not send the money to the vet to help pay the bills?? Unfortunately, I can't afford to do that right now, but just a thought. Since this is Pet Talk, I agree with Karen, if the post is pet related then all the other stuff should be either a. ignored or b. handled in PMs....and I know I am guilty of posting about the personal stuff. There are a lot of things that I read that make me angry, but after my last run in of negative nasties I decided that I would NOT get nasty again and if I didn't like most of what the person had to say, I just put them on my ignore list so I don't have to read what will obviously make me angry.
