12:57 am

jillibus

love cats

12:59 am

joey

the 4th of 5 kittens has been adopted out as of this afternoon. The 5th one is Gracie, the one that I would love to keep. She has been in and out of the house the last few evenings. Anyway, with the 4th going today, I wanted to bring Gracie in the house. I have had a mama cat crying outside my window all night. I have tried to get her to come in the house and join the party, but she won't. and when I open the door Gracie goes out. I am at my wits end. I don't know what to do. Mama is going to get spayed on Friday, I can't go through this again.

12:59 am

joey

what do I do?

1:00 am

pugmama763

don't you think over time she will see that the house is not a threat as her baby goes in & out with no fear?

1:01 am

joey

she has been in the house, but as soon as she comes in, mama goes out again

1:02 am

pugmama763

the mom doesn't want to stay in if the kitten is inside too?

1:03 am

joey

nope, she goes back out and the kitten stays for a bit, and then wants out too

1:03 am

pugmama763

very odd...

1:03 am

pugmama763

the mo is a feral?

1:03 am

joey

it is and it is breaking my heart.

1:03 am

pugmama763

oops mom

1:03 am

joey

mama is just crying

1:04 am

pugmama763

ferals take a lot of patience to get them used to the indoors

1:04 am

joey

kind of pug. we think that she was left here by someone who moves, because she lets me pet her and pick her up, but she stays outside

1:04 am

joey

someone who moved

1:04 am

pugmama763

don't know any easy answers

1:05 am

pugmama763

do you have a pet door?

1:05 am

joey

i am just thankful that I have a forum to talk to. No, I don't have a pet door. can't figure an easy way to do that since I have two doors on both back and front doors

1:06 am

pugmama763

if you install one & establish a feeding station & beds for them inside they will likely spend more indoor time if they know they can come & go as they wish

1:07 am

pugmama763

would be my best suggestion anyway

1:08 am

pugmama763

AND I STRONGLY BELIEVE IN SPAYING/ NEUTERING ALL PETS

1:08 am

pugmama763

so glad your planning that

1:09 am

pugmama763

oops you're

1:10 am

joey

pug, that's funny - you have no idea how many times I see that and a few other things and peeps have no idea that they are wrong in saying that

1:10 am

joey

or writing it rather

1:10 am

pugmama763

****stepping off soapbox & shutting up now****

1:10 am

joey

funny thing just happened. I walked to the front door, dad was there, eating. Gracie ran back and dad took off

1:11 am

joey

pug, I have been on a soap box many many times in the last few weeks. It feels good sometimes

1:11 am

pugmama763

oh God just read the yahoo posts if you want comical manglings of the language !

1:11 am

jillibus

Can you have a cat door put through a wall, joey? That's what I did.

1:11 am

joey

right now I am sitting here and Gracie is sitting on the window ledge right next to me meowing away. I am not sure what she wants

1:12 am

pugmama763

my cat is very vocal too

1:12 am

pugmama763

wish I understood what he is "saying"

1:13 am

joey

I wish I could diagram the house setup so you could see. My Willow does not talk to me at all - talks to the birds out of the back door, but never to me, unless I pick her up - she hates that and yells at me. Now mama is squealing at me too

1:13 am

joey

I wonder what they are thinking.

1:14 am

joey

about two months ago, Willow starting sleeping at my back. For the past month, ever since the kittens came out in the open, she won't come closer than my feet - she is so g=d jealous. I am all scratched up

1:15 am

pugmama763

just like a kid when the new baby comes home

1:15 am

joey

yup. I am done. off My soapbox.

1:15 am

jillibus

Too tired to think -- must go to bed. Good luck with the kitty families, joey!

1:15 am

joey

drinking too much alize to get excited at this point

1:15 am

joey

MollyL

Really, she had an entire train to find a seat. She had to plunk her loud self down in the quiet car.

7:17 am

car.eeyore

She had repeatedly been asked to quiet down and I think she refused to move.

7:18 am

MollyL

I think they might have sat her in another car JMC, had she not gotten belligerent when confronted.

7:18 am

jmcnrick

of course sometimes the trains are full

7:18 am

suefrad625

I am with you molly. people need to take responsibilty and deal with the consiquenses of their actions (sp)

7:19 am

car.eeyore

Gak...did it go on that long?

7:19 am

suefrad625

She knew it was a quite car before getting on. that is the end of the story

7:19 am

jmcnrick

my son was on a train where a drunk passenger was actually hitting people but the train was stuck between stations so my son (not a pacifist) stood up to him and he quited down

7:19 am

car.eeyore

Yeah jmc's son! Very brave!

7:20 am

jmcnrick

i have ridden with people who are riding for the first time and don't see the quiet car sign

7:20 am

jmcnrick

*quieted

7:20 am

car.eeyore

Then the conductor should tell them and/or move them...end of story.

7:20 am

jmcnrick

I am glad i was not on the train with my son i would have been a nervous wreck!

7:21 am

jmcnrick

9:39 am

crosshair

she jyst got chemo?

9:40 am

crosshair

cause i hate to be bearer of bad news,but no matter what the docs say,the feeling never returns,but being alive is a good trade off

9:40 am

mrpresident

9:40 am

mrpresident

9:40 am

mrpresident

:(((

9:41 am

crosshair

i am so sorry mrp:( my friend was getting treatment for brain cancer same time i was in there

9:41 am

mrpresident

very sad and seems to be the illness of this year

9:42 am

mrpresident

i am going in on 24th May for my 'crap', and am asking for a keyhole hysterectomy

9:42 am

mrpresident

too many problems with ovaries, uterus and cervix all at once with cancer

9:43 am

crosshair

nice they can do that now,my mrs had radical hysterectomy and they cut her from stem to stern

9:43 am

mrpresident

bloody shitty think, but would be the best choice I think

9:43 am

mrpresident

oh poor mrs crossy!!

9:44 am

crosshair

yes,get rid of the innards,she was in same boat as you too many pre cancer markers showing up

9:44 am

mrpresident

i was warned when I was having radiotherapy that I would be likely to get ovarian cancer... so here it is

9:44 am

crosshair

and we were having no more children

9:44 am

crosshair

what stage did they get it at?

9:44 am

mrpresident

and she is doing well with it all?

9:45 am

mrpresident

i was caught at CIN2 with cervix... now up to CIN4

9:45 am

mrpresident

am completely treatable

9:45 am

crosshair

well,sort of,do not wish do give you worry before yours

9:46 am

mrpresident

thanks crossy... have had a lot of discussions with friends who have had hysters and they are very happy they did it

9:47 am

mrpresident

I feel like a cat going in for the snip though... hard to take

9:47 am

crosshair

oh it was a good thing,and a needed thing,but they were in there for 4 hours and messed up the coating on the other innards that allow them to slide around and she has some difficulty with it now

9:47 am

crosshair

but no cancer,once again a good trade off

9:47 am

mrpresident

poor baby... hope they can sort it for her

9:48 am

mrpresident

we can only wish for our health

9:48 am

crosshair

she has had all the x-rays,all the blood tests,all the ct scan and meets with specialist at month end

9:48 am

rururocks

I don't know what the CIn numbers are.. but I'd do it in a heartbeat mr p with no reservations

9:48 am

mrpresident

I listen to other people talking absolute shite about their petty lives and dramas and just walk away... they don't know how important health is

9:49 am

syb215

clue for te7? saw an earlier clue that said more blunt, but still cannot get it

9:49 am

crosshair

indeed.beating the big C gives one a new outlook on life

9:49 am

uusue2

hi again, all!

9:50 am

mrpresident

ruuster, you are right... and we have strange laws here... they won't do it if you are capable of having children... have to have extenuating circumstances before they will consider it

9:50 am

mrpresident

hi sue! **hugs**

9:50 am

crosshair

just think mrp,once you beat this,you are a member of the club!:)

9:50 am

rururocks

oh my god.. are you kidding?

9:50 am

mrpresident

yeah! remove the cot and leave the playpen!!

9:50 am

uusue2

mrp, I've had a total hysterectomy (with a rather large incision due to fibroids), took me a good month to recover but I have been fine since. Don't worry about the surgery, you will get through it!

9:51 am

mrpresident

no ruru, the docs here are 'do no harm' over the top

9:51 am

crosshair

she will be fine of course

9:51 am

mrpresident

i will be, but I will be an 'it'!!

9:51 am

rururocks

an it with a playpen

9:52 am

uusue2

oh no you won't (let me assure you!!!!!)

9:52 am

uusue2

:-)

9:52 am

mrpresident

yep, as long as the happy box is there, no problem here!!

9:52 am

crosshair

sorry should not have mentioned the wifes coating issue,i have no wish to give you a case of the "screaming meemies" lol it was a rare thing and her innards were stuck together as well

9:52 am

uusue2

at least that hasn't been my experience, people do react differently to these things

9:53 am

mrpresident

poor woman! sounds like she had heaps of issues to deal with

9:53 am

crosshair

she is my rock and i am her staff ,we prevail;)

9:53 am

uusue2

indeed the absence of the fibroids makes things a lot nicer :-)

9:53 am

mrpresident

sue, I have accepted it... took me 6 months, but have decided to not freak about it and go ahead with it

9:54 am

uusue2

and at least here it is one of the most common surgeries so they have had a lot of practice.

9:54 am

mrpresident

well, putting on the weight from pcos was my downer... the cancer was just the icing on the cake

9:55 am

mrpresident

I have since lost weight through stress with the carbomb and stalker, but still, have to deal

9:55 am

uusue2

I did have 2 surgeons - my regular ob/gyn and also a gynecological oncologist - no cancer but I was at high risk due to family history

9:55 am

crosshair

get that weight up before your treatments mrp

9:55 am

mrpresident

good for you sue! very brave decision

9:55 am

uusue2

SUCH a relief not to have to worry about that any more!!!!!

9:55 am

mrpresident

I am at perfect weight now... 178cm and 75kg

9:56 am

mrpresident

I actually think I am looking 'hawt'!

9:56 am

uusue2

well, my mom died young of ovarian cancer which is very hard to detect; I was having ultrasounds every 6 months and was spending all my time at a low level of panic

9:56 am

crosshair

i would of been suprise if i did NOT get cancer,my mum died of cancer,my da has had cancer 3 or 4 times,my grampa died of cancer his da died of cancer,his da died of (consumption) lol

9:56 am

uusue2

I bet you are, mrp!!!

9:56 am

rururocks

.. I read about it on Oprah mr p

9:56 am

rururocks

Mr. Presidents "Stalker Diet"

9:57 am

mrpresident

oh crossy, bloody family history!!

9:57 am

mrpresident

indeed ruuster! not a great way to live and not eat

9:57 am

crosshair

you are always hawt mrp,but if you are to get chemo,the pounds tend to fall off a tad alarmingly

9:58 am

mrpresident

i refuse chemo crossy... radiotherapy of nothing

9:58 am

mrpresident

chemo is too hard on the body

9:58 am

uusue2

well, my mom and sister died of cancer (my sister had two kinds, breast and skin, unrelated) as did my mother's sister and her daughter. Which is all the women on my mother's side of the family. So I am glad all the risky bits (except breasts :-) are gone.

9:58 am

mrpresident

however, we have to pay for radiotherapy, isn't covered under PBS or health fund

9:58 am

crosshair

sometimes there is not a choice,but i hope just radiation will do it for you

9:59 am

crosshair

cause the chemo is nasty,nasty,nasty

9:59 am

mrpresident

it will, I have had it many times before and it has worked

9:59 am

uusue2

well, not to be crass about it, mrp, but dying is pretty hard on your body as well. My mom had chemo in 1973, when it was much more brutal than it is now, and it bought her a few precious months. These are not easy decisions.

9:59 am

mrpresident

chemo is not happening to me, no way!!

10:00 am

mrpresident

i am a fighter sue... i am like a weed, can't be killed!!

10:00 am

uusue2

we don't want to lose you, mrp!!! and wish you all the best!!!!!

i am 6 foot 2,my ideal wt is 190 pounds,i went in for chemo at 225 came out at 165 ;( the chemo diet=cisplatin and all the crisps you want lol

10:01 am

uusue2

well, I certainly hope so, mrp, and will have you in my thoughts all the way.

10:01 am

crosshair

you will win mrp..i will make you a deal,once it is all gone i will wire you a nice bunch of flowers

10:01 am

mrpresident

actually, I am like one of those obnoxious cactus... nothing can eradicate me!! LOL

10:01 am

rururocks

would gladly give you some of my weight crossie

10:02 am

uusue2

My mom lost a lot of weight on chemo too, but had a lot of fluid in her abdomen; I remember her looking in the mirror and saying how good she looked except for the "lump". It was pretty creepy, and sad.

10:02 am

crosshair

no ty,i am a tad fluffy now at 250 need to drop 50

10:03 am

mrpresident

crossy, you are the sweetest heart on the planet!! I had a couple of babble buddies do that for me the last time I had my bone from my humerus removed, and it made my life so happy!!

10:03 am

uusue2

crossy, you and I can send mrp some of our excess pounds along with the flowers :-)

10:03 am

crosshair

sounds good

10:04 am

10:26 am

(I started late at the kid-having thing)

10:27 am

My son, who is now 38 waited til both he and his wife got their doctorates.

10:28 am

I had him at 26, but kids now don't have children til their 30's, at least. My daughter who is 32 had hers at 29.

10:28 am

uusue2

I was 38 when my son was born, had my PhD and tenure :-)

10:29 am

10:30 am

Ruru, a gong?

10:31 am

ch1212

Gong! What a good way to say it. Me too. My daughter is 35 and she and her husband plan zero kids.

10:31 am

rururocks

zero kids here too

10:32 am

uusue2

I wasn't planning on having children, and that was fine, and then I had one, and that is fine too. And whether or not I have grandchildren will also be fine :-)

10:32 am

bichon

I love being a Mom, but a grandma is better

10:32 am

snags

I love all your attitudes!!

10:32 am

uusue2

I do have three grand-nephews, although I have not met them...haven't had much contact with my niece and nephew since my sister died (and she and I were not close in any case)

10:33 am

uusue2

ch1212, I love your icon! can't read the ribbon, though :-(

10:34 am

bichon

de 5/14?

10:34 am

ch1212

My husband and I met a neighbor boy some years ago when we lived in another state. He 'adopted' as extra grandparents, and we love him. So we consider him our grandson.

uusue, my brother is battling a rare form of cancer, and the ribbon for it is zebra-stripped, because oncologists often look for the proverbial horse.

10:35 am

bichon

nm, got it

10:35 am

ch1212

Just noticed -- the stripes are hard to see in this icon, too. He has a rare form of neuroendocrine cancer.

10:36 am

snags

oh geez ch1212

10:36 am

uusue2

ah. my thoughts are with your brother, ch1212!!! cancer is so tough to deal with, and having a rare form is even worse :-(

10:36 am

snags

will put him on my prayer list.

10:36 am

MollyL

I do not want to be a Gong! My kids need to get on the ball. : (

10:38 am

MollyL

(((Sue))) that's a tough loss.

10:38 am

ch1212

{{{ hugs to you too, uusue. I understand. He is my only living blood relative, besides my daughter. We lost our folks, grandfolks, aunts, uncles, etc. years ago. }}}}

11:07 am

MollyL

How is ea6 not a proper noun?

11:09 am

EvaNadine

i always thought of it more like nor'ea6 -- a storm coming from that direction

11:10 am

uusue2

boy, I leave, and not much happens! :-)

11:11 am

uusue2

and hi, eva!

11:11 am

uusue2

and hi again, molly!

11:12 am

EvaNadine

hiya sue

11:14 am

MollyL

Well, the definition is all about the ceremony, rite, holiday, call it what you will. I don't know why I try to understand the rules of this thing anymore.

11:14 am

uusue2

you mean it's actually a word? *adds it quickly*

11:15 am

MollyL

I know Sue, I skipped over it when I saw it the first time thinking "nope, proper noun". That's what I get for thinking.

11:16 am

EvaNadine

name that proper noun!

title character of a series of children's books about a girl who lives on the top floor of the Plaza Hotel in NYC.

11:16 am

HelenaB

11:39 am

11:40 am

EvaNadine

hrm. only 17 E words today. try refreshing?

11:40 am

JBV

OMG! You're a genius, Eva! Thanks!

11:41 am

EvaNadine

i have my moments. ;)

11:43 am

JBV

by the way, Eva - I love looking at your lily icon, brings back wonderful thoughts of Jesse

11:43 am

crosshair

11:44 am

EvaNadine

11:44 am

JBV

hi crossy, sounds good

11:44 am

EvaNadine

i miss him, dearly, jbv. babble just isnt quite as bright for me without him...

11:45 am

JBV

oh, me too, Eva - what a tragic loss -

11:45 am

JBV

a little naughty, and very nice - he was a doll!

11:45 am

SeaSpray

Hi all...was lurking... he did light up the room didn't he?

11:46 am

JBV

Hi Sea - a too brief life but he is remembered by so many

11:48 am

SeaSpray

so, so sad...I miss him too

11:50 am

EvaNadine

id always imagined that i would get to meet him someday, next time i made it over to england.
it makes me sad that now that will never happen...

11:50 am

MollyL

MPitt was here last night, asking about Jesse. Apparently, she missed the sad news. It got me thinking about how much fun chat was when Jesse was in it.

11:50 am

JBV

I know and didn't we all know that something was terribly wrong when he came back from Korea and didn't want to talk about it - ...

11:52 am

SeaSpray

I just didn't realize it was so serious

11:52 am

MollyL

One of my favorite NB moments was chatting with him on Christmas Day. I was in between family stuff and he was just tickled that there were some folks about to chat with. He was in the hospital at the time.

11:52 am

JBV

well he was probably ill from the beginning and then things just got worse

11:53 am

JBV

that's nice Molly - and of course, you know that's archived forever in the Babble archives :)

11:54 am

EvaNadine

while he often liked to draw attention to his fun and silly antics, he never ever wanted to worry people. no matter how bad things were, he just wanted to focus on the good.

11:55 am

JBV

and don't you think of the ironies of life- he went to Korea to establish a connection with his cousins and his family but the trip caused the final separation

11:55 am

SeaSpray

I was thinking the same thing JBV

11:56 am

JBV

And although I have no love for them, I also grieve for his parents who will NEVER be able to reconcile their weird and horrible decision

11:56 am

EvaNadine

i agree, jbv.

11:56 am

EvaNadine

im also so very thankful that he had frank in his life at the end.

11:56 am

JBV

they have to live with their own evil forever

11:57 am

SeaSpray

they will have a lot to bear

11:57 am

MollyL

I can't fathom putting anything (morals, ethics, principles) above my love for my children.

11:57 am

MLFAN17

hello

11:57 am

JBV

same here Molly - it's not even human

11:58 am

MollyL

Yes Eva, I am glad he had Frank too. From chatting with Frank here, he seems to be as golden as Jesse.

11:58 am

Well...here is the way my night is shaping up....Dylan has baseball, which I believe will be canceled on account of the weather. Zach has his Boy Scout Pack meeting where he will get his Wolf badge and other achievements. He is in the bathroom trying not to throw up as he was laying on the floor and got extremely dizzy.

3:22 pm

carleekat

a lawn mower in the middle of a sotrm is almost a rational thing to do

3:22 pm

carleekat

WOW..congrats on the wolf pack award

3:22 pm

carleekat

wolf badge*

3:23 pm

carleekat

that is the highest award...yes?

3:24 pm

carleekat

3:25 pm

car.eeyore

Actually Wolf is the second step when starting in Cub Scouts (Tiger is first).

3:26 pm

carleekat

7:42 pm

lilliann

hi boat

7:43 pm

MPittore

Yes it is important to be ones self....I don't like fake people...I actually find almost everyone here to be sweet and kind and everyone tries to help one another....It's like if we could just duplicate that attitude the world over what a wonderful place it would all be...just think no killing, no wars, no fighting....imagine that....

7:43 pm

MPittore

OMG there is a mosquito buzzing in my ear////

7:44 pm

lilliann

7:44 pm

MPittore

He's a clever one and is avoiding my attempts to swat his little ole' self!

7:45 pm

lilliann

we don't normally get them here but with the weather getting warmer we are starting to

7:45 pm

lilliann

i always get bitten when i go to france and see my mam and dad

7:46 pm

MPittore

lil...why do you say your memory isn't good? I think you must be pretty young with an 11 yr old...

7:46 pm

lilliann

we get gnats, and they bite

7:49 pm

lilliann

i'm 42 next month and have problems with ears as in dizzy spells, pressure in head and since my balance went my memory has been affected...don't know why but looked online and balance and memory is right next to eachother in the brain. i can't walk and am in wheelchair. i had her when i was 30.

7:49 pm

redturtlehead

Hello all. Hope you have had a pleasant day.

7:50 pm

redturtlehead

LOL, todays icon theme is gourds. But in a few hrs I may need to change again.

7:50 pm

lilliann

i have meniere's disease and had treatment to stop the dizzy spells and balance problems, it didn't work so i am now in wheelchair but can stand, but fall over...

7:50 pm

lilliann

hi red, nice to see you

7:51 pm

uusue2

oh, lilli, that is tough :-(

7:53 pm

lilliann

that's why i do word games to help me with my memory, the problem is that when people say it's a babblet or we've had it before etc, etc i can't always remember just with 2 letters, but heh, that's life eh!!

7:53 pm

redturtlehead

Lilli, I cant often remember babblets either, I always forget about the volcano.!

7:53 pm

uusue2

well, more power to you! I hope it helps and that you enjoy the (rather strange but very nice) company here!!!

7:54 pm

MPittore

oh I hope I wasn't being too nosey...just that you had mentioned it frequently...but a friend suffered from Vertigo, dizzy spells and balance and he thought he may have fluid in his inner ears however it turned out to be a totally fixable thing...apparently our inner ears have some little crystal things in them and they can become dislodged and cause this...the ENT did a simple manual manipulation wherein he had him sit upright and then he quickly turned his head and put him into a lying down position a couple of times and the darned thing worked and he's been fine ever since...so simple it sounds hokey but it is a real cure.

7:54 pm

redturtlehead

uusue, are you calling me, err strange?

7:55 pm

uusue2

lol, red, I figure there's enough variety here that we can all adopt whatever label applies to us and let the rest go. I figure I am pretty strange :-)

7:55 pm

lilliann

no, it's not sue, as i have healthy 11 nearly 12 yr old going on 15!!! i just get on with it. there are more people in the world and on here having more health problems and problems in their lives than me! i just get on with it. yes, i find it very difficult at times but my family and me get throught it!

7:56 pm

lilliann

red, that is the one i can always remember..lol

7:56 pm

redturtlehead

indeed. I do not think of you as strange.

7:56 pm

redturtlehead

And good on you Lilli, I always forget the volcano.

7:57 pm

MPittore

help...can't remember that one what is the volcano???

7:57 pm

redturtlehead

etna

7:57 pm

lilliann

i enjoy the company here sue, which is why i play and chat here as i feel part of a family

7:58 pm

uusue2

7:58 pm

redturtlehead

We enjoy you Lilli, I did worry when you disappeared for a bit there.

7:58 pm

uusue2

7:58 pm

MPittore

I actually created a little datbase of as many babblets as I could figure out or find....isn't that funny....

7:58 pm

lilliann

7:59 pm

uusue2

8:01 pm

redturtlehead

You know, Babble got me through my hand surgery when I was off work for 3 months and at that time I was afraid to chat!

8:01 pm

MPittore

Lil it is so great to share in the chat...I agree we are all a big babble family and that is wonderful...sisters and brothers in babbledonia!

8:01 pm

lilliann

aww, thanks red, i disappeared as babble was overtaking my life and i wanted to spend more time making things, as in my cards and spending more time with the bairn

8:02 pm

lilliann

why were you afraid to chat red?

8:03 pm

lilliann

not as in babble friends as i missed you all, especially at this time of night

8:03 pm

redturtlehead

Everyone seemed to know each other, and I admit I was in a foul mood.

8:04 pm

lilliann

red, we need to swap email adds and then if you don't want to rant and rave on here you can always do it to me:)

8:04 pm

redturtlehead

I am really very shy!

8:04 pm

lilliann

and i will do the same

8:05 pm

redturtlehead

OOooh, I dont rant and rave. Well, this time next week I may be, but not today.

8:05 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Jilli, do you like my gourds?

8:05 pm

MPittore

Gosh one time a person was even saved due to the babble chat...we do love each other...it's wonderful if you are troubled, lonely, sad, sick, needy, cheerful, busting at the seems to share, etc..you can come here in the safety of your own home and feel loved, needed, appreciated, etc....I love babble...

8:05 pm
