    ...teka, please feel free to post it for me. you mean the ones where the mods said i could not post publicly asking for money for a veggyfund? that kind of thing can only be done privately. and i did ask several women on this thread. i am sure they did not mind. i gave them the same details i gave you. and i dont know who may have donated or not, part of the joy of being anonymous givers. and like i said to you in our private posts today that if i unintentionally offended you by something i said, that that was not my intention at all, and i tried to say it to you 3 different ways.. anyway, you know what? i dont come here for this. i came to bco to look for information, and the more i stayed the more i found i loved it, for the people, all kinds, everykind. i wont get sucked into whatever problems you are having  with somebody else. hermit thread is a very good thread, as they all are, and is not a 3rd grade playground. but if you insist, if anybody cares to know what goes on in my private posts, please pm me with your adress. i will print them out and send them to you. but teka, you can still see the ones i sent to you, cant you? you have my permission to share. wow this is really wierd, i really dont care who likes who.

    i know, sallys70! it cracked me up! the first time he said it, i had to ask him to repeat himself, cause i wasnt sure what he was saying!

    but teka, why, anyone can go there and see them. and that sounds like a demand rather than a request. oh wait. i think you are right, i did delete them. because i realized i did not have the artists permission to publish. sorry about that. i will ask next time i see them.

    This is a good thread, full of kind, loving women like many of the others........let us keep it that way........no room for petty bullshit here............

    Veggy loved it here........lets remember that........she looks down on us from "HEAVEN", and says "keep it going in memory of me...............lets do that........hugs girlfriend....

    Jazz.......I owned a Boston Terrier...........talk about history repeating itself......as a puppy our little Bossman fell into his food dish too.......

    We had a total of 4 in the family.......my daughter bought one for my husband when he was dying of Pancreatic cancer because it was his wish to own one and walk it on the beach at our shore home.....sadly he never got to do that......he passed away just 2 months after my daughter gave him Bossman.......I rescued 2 Boston's one 7 years old, and one 13.........and another daughter had 1 from the same litter as my 7 year old rescue.......but she got hers as a puppy......mine was left at the Vet by the breeder,and I heard he was there along with his doggy aunt.......I paid the Vet bill which was $1,400 and took them home.

    Brought back a lot of good memories of our first Boston, and my husband's joy at his wish almost being fulfilled.......

    Thanks, and hugs.

    Ducky, our Boston Terrorist ( NOT a typo) died in May at the age of 15. His name was Dandy, because he was indeed a dandy. He had been getting weaker, and had doggy dementia. I put him outside to potty. He didn't come back to the door right away so I kept peeking out to check on him. He went from the patio to the grass and laid in the sun. I checked 10 minutes later and he was lying under the big tree. DH came in from work a few minutes later and I asked him to bring Dandy in. He looked out and said, I can see him breathing. He went to the bathroom, and 2 minutes later went out to get old Dan, but he had stopped breathing in those 2 minutes. Jimmy buried him under the lilacs & hollyhocks, with a special stone. I didn't go out with him, because I knew Jimmy needed that time alone. I'm sure he shed a few tears. He & Dandy were joined at the hip. We got him when he was 5 weeks old.

    paula, that is so sad! i loved that you said terrorist, though. it really gets you when an animal dies, because they love almost more perfectly than us humans do, in a way, and forgive, almost instantly.

    Soteria......beautiful story...........they are so lovable, and I would love to have another one, but to take on a dog now would be foolish...........ours were all such good dogs.....all from the same breeder, and all related.......the thing that blows my mind is how intelligent they are and how easy to train.......

    15 is old......our first one was 11, and was sick for about 2 years, and gradually got worse......my 1 rescue was old when I got her, she lived about 1 year..........the one that was 7 was a beauty, very tiny, and he lived to be 13........my daughter's who was the brother to my rescue lived to be 14........also very small.......

    I am sure your husband loved Dandy dearly....how could anyone not...

    Have a good night Solteria.....nice talking to you.......come back often.....we really are not Hermits.....lol......hugs.

    i dont know if this is allowed here but PLEASE keep me on track to leave my OH, he did not notice when I was half dead and he is no good for my emotional or physical health - not married so entitled to big  fat zero  despite serving almost nineteen years with him.......very much a case of experience finally triumphing over hope but i lose a lot and face uncertain future as financially cannot manage alone, house is up for salebut others here been for sale for eight years so could be dead before it sells

    ....just wanted to say that this is my last post on hermits thread. and it is too bad, because i really loved some of you, here, but you know who you are. too many insomni(man)iacs, for me.

    I am sorry you are leaving us KathEC.    I don't know what the issues were but I implore you to discuss if possible. I was here on the boards over three years ago when a friend got into many arguments and she left. We kept in touch, a group of us did and now she is dead and we can never get her back. I do not understand arguing at BCO. Not at all. This makes me incredibly sad. 

    Love to everyone.

    Bye everyone.....I am leaving Hermits thread........I.hope the people who caused this are happy........there are close to 115,000 ladies on these threads........so sad how a couple can ruin what once was a happy place......I laughed my heart out, and spoke so highly of this website, and how it got me through one of the darkest times in my life, other then when I hugged my husband for the last time.......

    Your stories made me laugh, cry, and gave me bright days when I had nothing to smile about.....I was here from the day after my diagnosis, and not a day went by that I did not check in sometimes 5 or more times a day........you gave me a reason to go on, when everyone else thought I was fine, and I wanted to cry out "no I'm not"...........then you came and lifted me up, brought me out of that dark place so many of us go to......so for you I say Thanks, love you, and you know who you are......Bye

    WTH?  We should be angry with cancer, treatment side effects, and those who minimize our pain.  There should be only support, understanding, and empathy here.

    OMG the only time I have voiced an opinion it was on a PM, not on public and that was one time when I thought someone stepped over a line---Now I feel like going into the lego box and start playing with all the toys cuz that's how this is coming out. When I was younger I didn't argue with people and I realize we all have different personalities and not all mesh together--it would be impossible and if u feel like u have to leave a thread because someone or something has hurt u fine--no hard feelings, but this is just all petty stuff and the reason for life isn't petty, it's a gift that is profound, in the end that's all we have, Remember we're born alone, we live alone, and we die alone---but in the meantime we can gather what we can from so many people and not push people away but welcome them in our hearts--there are no fangs here, but if u see it as that then I certainly wish u all the best in u'r life and in u'r health-and everyday wake up feeling better than the day before, and don't forget there is nothing better than kindness in your heart for someone else-life is way to short.

    Dutch I got carried away s usual--there is so much caring on this thread--and I've been on it for a long time and I always come here it's upsetting.

    OK Lily, I didn't quite understand what u meant--is this about u'r DH and what this has done to him?
