LMAO, well, at least now we know how to pill a cat.
That was a great laugh to start the day. 
Thanks Blue. 0 -
Traci - you should write a book...I know it sucks when your life could top the New York Post bestseller list under comedies, but I think you could get rich!!!
Blue...that's the only way I could ever get my cats pills down -but you still gotta watch out for the 20 claws coming at you from every direction! If you don't do it fast and they figure it out...you are ripped to shreds!
LuAnn - what wonderful news. You're the best mom for doing this. I can only imagine the joy you're going to witness when your son see's that baby! A baby sees daddy! I wish I could watch! Give your son a big hug for all of us here!
Prayer request: good friend has mom who was diagnosed with colon cancer. She's 92 and she's having surgery today to have it removed. I don't have to tell you how nervous we are about this!
Have a good day ladies...

BD, you did in fact read how this cat, Lucy (aka Lucifer,as in the cat from H*ll-o) can get out of a 9 point harness in 5 seconds flat? OR how our Cat Only Clinic VET thought she could show me how to brush this cats teeth, and ended up needing stitches herself when I let her show me how? This cat is 13-14 y/o ad still could out perform any one year old! I always enjoy the how-tos of dealing with cats an baths/pills, though, so thanks
Traci, you crack me up! OMG I hadn't even thought of that wedding end of the month and pantyhose!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH!!!! Wonder if they make tights and sweater dresses for old aunts of the groom
LuANN!!! HOW great it is to hear you an take one at least! I'll keep an extra special prayer i thought, that he behaves like a little gentlemen for his granny
Still no word on Lucy. Hoping it's like with humans, if you don't here, it's good news, so they are mailing rather than calling/faxing results?
just saw on the weather channel it's supposed to be minus 8 tomorrow night! Eeeeeek!

Oh Bonnie of course, prayers throughout thday..let us kow how it goes
So sad...no one have to deal with this crap at the end of their lives 0 -
Tracy, If my dh sees me trying to put on pantyhose he starts humming the olympic theme because he thinks that needs to be an olympic sport. And your post just verified his thinking.
Blue, I think that giving a cat a pill also needs to go into the Olympics especally the way you describe it, that is why I have a dog. Although the last time I gave my dog pills from the vet (meat flavored pain pills), I would find pieces of them hiding in her bed.
LuAnn, it is great that you can take one of the boys to see their dad. I couldn't make it to Hawaii when my son's ship returned from the gulf region but when he flew into Charlotte it was great seeing him. I know you and your grandson will be so happy to see him.

Traci - omg was that hilarious, words paint pictures, and I felt like I was right there in the kitchen with you!
Bonnie - prayers for your friend's mom, that is a lot to go through at her age, but the fact that they're doing it at all tells me she is really strong
who posted the cat Vs dog pill thing - hilarious!!
just got home from getting bottom braces on son's teeth, started him on the advil this morning, the next 48 hours aren't going to be pretty!
luann - I'm so happy for you, that's great!
nicki - do you have a cat in addition to Mister? I'm not a cat person (sorry!), truthfully, it's because I'm afraid of them, but I sent that cartoon of the woman trying to give the cat a pill to my sister, who is a big cat person (and dog person actually - she's non-discriminating when it comes to pets!)

WHAT SUCKS??? PUKING SUCKS!!! round 3 in as many weeks...now Im at home with my stomach lurching to and fro. I sure wish I knew exactly WHAT was causing this...I'd rather get a pap smear than puke -even though I don't have to take my clothes off to puke, it's still the worst!
Ughhhh....

{{{Bonnie}}} That SUX for certain
SO sorry you are dealing with that. There is nothing worse....even the stirrups 0 -

Surgeries, puking, pantyhose, medicating cats...THAT SUCKS!
Wish, have you every tried the "burrito roll" on your cat? My big kittie hates being held. When I have to give her one of those heartworm pills (the vet said, "Play with it...let her smell it....act like it's fun and she'll gobble it up!"....YEAH, RIGHT!) I get a thick bath towel and lay it over her back. Quickly, before she gets a chance to run, I wrap the towel completely around her so her paws are under control and just her head is sticking out. I actually have to lay her on her back (while making sure that towel is on TIGHT and secure!), force her mouth open, then shove the pill in. Then it's a waiting game. I have to hold her mouth closed while gently rubbing her throat to encourage swallowing. I was told that quickly blowing in their faces will make them swallow but I haven't found that to be true all the time. Usually, after going through about 5 pills (lost because they get to soggy, get spat out and disappear, etc) I seem to have success. That is, I *THINK* she eventually swallows because I find no evidence of the pill elsewhere! LOL!!! At least this way I can keep trying without getting shredded.
OK...IOS here about internet service: Does anybody else have HUGHESNET? They have this "fair access policy" that puts the brakes on excessive downloads. They don't tell you about this when you sign up, nor do they let you know what the term "excessive" means. We discovered it when we first got the service. One can watch 22 minutes of video before the FAP takes effect. That really chapped me because one of the reasons we wanted high speed internet was so my boys could access the video features on Discovery Channel Online for school. Anyway, Hughesnet offers no kind of meter or anything to let you know you're approaching excess. Somehow we managed to exceed it at some point yesterday and now they've slowed our service down to SLOWER THAN DIAL-UP for 24 hours!!!! I kid you not that it took nearly 5 minutes to load this page. I am wondering if I'll even be able to post this message because of it. Seems to me that they could at least TELL you how much bandwidth you're allowed to use (and let you watch the occasional episode of MONK online in its entirety!) before cutting you off. We have no other options here for high speed. My parents pay for the service for us and I hate to complain about it....but what kind of "service" is it if I can't even load a simple web page? Ugh...THAT SUCKS!
I hope everyone has at least one SOI today to offset all the suckiness out there!
((((HUGS)))

Geepers. ;( That does suck!
Our cable is great, butexpensive. I was just online this morning trying to figure how to lesson the bill. Burns me, that we can't lower it without losing the channels we use. BUt...what I was going to say is that when we first got I remember there was a 10 mg download limit and did reach that one time. Now I think it's just for an individual email. I'd be calling and asking whether it's a 24 hour thing, or maybe you picked up a bug while online. That can slow things tremendously. Have you defragged or ran a scan disk lately?As for the cat, that's precisely how I manage her. To get a pill/liquid down or to get her into the vet box. Works well, but....shes so tiny, i fear injuring her also

I'm no cat expert but how many times could you do the towel thingy before the cat wised up and not let you near with a towel? Sounds like a 4 man or 2 woman job to me. 0
-
I guess you missed saturday when I said I had to walk by as nothing was up while preparing the towel for the attack?
She sit on top of the gas stove so I had to be careful not to burn us all in the process. She has gotten a clue, just not completely. One thing she won't do it play in the box as she does others, b/c she's afraid it means a car ride to 'you know where' I'm sure it will get to the point where I won't be to fold towels or even get one out for my shower without her hightailing it to parts I can't reach! 0 -
Traci..........LMAO!!!!!!!! What a picture you made! I could just picture the whole scenario!!!! LMAO!!!!

Well I can see that pantyhose and reluctant cats caused my post to be completely overlooked. And since I didnt say much more than anyone else didnt already say..... again can see why it was overlooked. However, my paranoia is very real. I feel that one day, some one will maliciously cause me to be banned from this sight and I would be heartbroken. I sorta buried that in the middle. I am sure there are others who feel the same way. I think there is a real glitch in this foundation and someone is using it to erode our ability to speak candidly. I always wonder what was said that was deleted by the community. Some get to read it before it gets deleted. So they would have an opinion as to whether it should be banned in the future. Not to mention that the younger, more vocal clients would be worried about their life expectancy on this sight. Again, I worry about not having the ability to communicate here. Argue, laugh, cry with me, great, organize people to put me out, not so great. My biggest fear would be realized. I wonder how we can all cry out for answers and not receive one single message back. What is exactly
On a lighter note, I got through my bone scan even though it hurt.... holding the final 4 positions hurt. And sitting up from lying perfectly still for 20 minutes (except for those morphine twitches), my back almost refused to sit up again. I thought I was going to have to scream for the wild pain gripping the lower back. But I didnt and took an extra 60 mg of statex and went on with my life. However, my hubby is picking me up more pain relief. Then they called today.... my blood draw for the operations clotted. They want me to get the blood work done again. Ok. I am there again for my ct scan, will get them to do it again.

Dream, it sucks to have your post overlooked. I don't think it was intentional on anyone's part.
I for one send you hugs and a big.......THAT SUCKS.
Glad you got through your bone scan in one piece, sort of. Good luck with the ct scan and another blood let.
Hugs.

Dream - sorry your post was overlooked, it does happen from time to time, and I'm also sure it isn't intentional when it does. I hope your ct scan goes well. Those bone scans are a drag, it's funny how much you need to move around when you're not allowed to! As far as the other stuff, my strategy is the less said about it the better. I completely understand your concern, but for me, what works is to focus on what I come here for - a laugh, a cry, to share my fears, to get support when I need it, and to give any comfort I can to others. Hugs to you...

I didn't comment on your post on purpose.....I'm sorry......I just didn't want a war to be started and more people getting banned.
I'm so sorry. I have been lucky to not have personally witnessed any attacks between posters (except for one case when I did comment on someone fka as Amy.....I did see her (he?) personally attack someone and did comment) although, I have heard about it which is why I said in my original post...."no personal attacks".
I agree with you 100% that the person posting the "report this post" should be known. I do not think that "x #" of reports should automatically cause someone to be banned. That is BS!
I just felt that like someone said "ignore it and it will go away". Probably not right but, I'm guilty of that. I'm a non-confrentational (sp?) kind of girl. I didn't mean to ignore you though. You are right.
As far as you bone scan, my 'lil sis had one not to long ago and it caused her extreme pain. I am also very sorry that you had to go through that. It's so unfair. (((((hugs girl)))))
On a lighter note, I'm so happy I made some of y'all laugh....at my expense!!! Today, I wore a lose skirt and my UGG boots. Cumfy and warm.
I love you girls.

Dream,
Good luck with the bloodwork, and ct scan. I'll be thinking of you. Sorry if your post was somehow missed.
BTW, my posts are often overlooked. I think I am just the type of person who is easily forgotten....
HUGS

Ditto what Saint said. What a good laugh! I have also been known to take my pantihose off at a stop light...When I had nip surgery and the nipple guards under the bra pressing the guards down...I also managed to take a bra off at a stop light...that time - I really didn't care if any one noticed. Had they approached my car - I could have just flashed them and they would have turned white as a ghost looking the the stitches in my nip big nips!

I am sorry for sounding like a whiner.... you didnt read my post, boo hoo. I was just worried that the girl who was friendless in high school has a paranoia of returning to that status here. I didnt do anything to earn that status then (other than being seconded ugliest in school, and yes I was grateful I wasnt the girl who was voted ugliest) and I dont think I would do anything to earn that status here.
I have never worn a girdle for an entire work day because they dug in on either side of my private spot and caused excruciating pain, purple bruising and the desire to appreciate my larger body just the way it is. The offending garment has been stuffed in the garbage, folded neatly and placed in the "pad" garbage, and once i carried it hidden in my clothes back into the office and dropped into the garbage in the coffee room. Anything to not be caught throwing it out!
Most embarassing moment, a co-worker offered to let me "feel" her prosthesis.
I have had the support of every female in the company and a couple of the men. My bosses boss was the son of a former CEO of the company who passed away from cancer. He demanded to see me when I came to visit the office. Threatened a co-worker that he would be jobless if he did not notify him when I dropped in to visit. And then he hugged me... in front of everyone. And when I went to the Christmas Dinner and Dance, he hugged me there too. And his wife, hugged me. A little over the top.... n'est pas?

Well since I'm not afraid of being banned, I will open my big mouth. The system totally suks and has given three very bitter women the ability to control this board with their vigilante behaviour. There are many who no longer feel comfortable posting here for fear of being parodied and made fun of. I'm not worried what they may have up their sleeve as far as I'm concerned. It only shows what class this group falls into. I'm dealing with a thyroid cancer diagnosis right now and in my book everything that crowd does is really "stuff and nonsense". I have neither the time nor inclination to let that idiocy bother me.
These three very bitter women have a following that will do anything they want. Very sad. Enough said. No one needs to respond to this post......its just a fyi.

Blue....I forgot to mention... I still LOVE your avatar!!!!
o.k. PM us the "three" and we will all "report" their posts!!!!!!! I'm all over that!!!!!!

{{{Dream}}} Big that sux to you girl. Mosty I really want to say, that I did want to respond to your post and then got doing somethign else,and by the time I returned, I assumed you'd been off the puter and wouldn't be here this to even read it before it was buried in days of postings. Seriously sorry it wasn't said then. I hope these result are excellent and the the next Bl draw and scan go smoothly for you lady. Hang in there, we're here, albeit sometimes absent of mind
Prayers and only good thoughts go with you to those. Friends still? {{hugs}}0 -
Always.

Traci,
PM me and I'll help! LOL Seriously, I don't post much so sometimes when I do, my posts are overlooked and I do feel the way you do Dream. I was not in any of the cliques in school, popular, band, jocks, etc. I just didn't fit in. I don't fit in at my work, but at this point in my life I don't care. But I do know how you feel being on the outside looking in.
Hugs,
Trish
