Donna, I'm sorry your sister-in-law went off on you like that. She had no right to do that, even if you do owe her money. You certainly haven't been having an easy time of it since you moved, and she isn't helping the matter any. When is the last time she moved away from everything she knew to start over again in a new town? So she has no idea what you've been going through, and probably has no idea how deeply you care for your kitties and how much your Casey Dude meant to you.

I know it's hard, and her words and attitude still hurt, but you do have many, many friends here at PT. Invite her to check this site out and let her see that you do have friends - real friends - and that you are a well respected member of this community. I mean really, does she expect you to just move into town and instantly have hoards of friends? Sheesh.

And I guess I should apologize right away if it seems I'm a little biased. I have one sister-in-law who I have no use for, so I'm sure some of that attitude is coming through here.

I'm glad you did vent because I'm sure you'll feel better after reading our responses, and spending some time with your kitties. And I do know that spending time on PT is very therepeutic (sp?), so I hope you forget her harsh words and smile a little at all the kitty antics here on PT.
