The older I get the harder it is for me emotionally.
2:54 pm
bichon
Have you thought of moving to CT. It's pretty pricey and there might not be such good opportunities for you son
2:56 pm
Anniebrook
bichon, I have but I really cannot afford to live in CT and the opportunities for my son are not as good as NYC. It would be very hard to uproot him, probably me too at my age.
2:57 pm
bichon
When we first moved from NYC to CT in '72 I was sure we'd be back in a year. Certainly didn't work out that way
2:57 pm
Anniebrook
So I am in Brooklyn which really is okay with me.
2:58 pm
bichon
Could be worse. Ct is just a subway and Metro North ride away
2:58 pm

bichon, I drive there. It is one hour and a half. Not so bad.

Crossy, I had to have my cat put down today.
5:08 pm
crosshair
I am so sorry, Sukee. it is a terrible thing to lose a cherished friend.
5:09 pm
crosshair
We had to do the same a few years ago with one of our kitties:(
5:09 pm
sukee
But in a way I feel relieved, he didn't have much of a life especially in the past two weeks.
5:09 pm
sukee
The doctor wanted to try more treatments and take more blood for maybe an extra 6 months.
5:10 pm

When a beloved pets quality of life degrades to a point where he or she is not living life, then hard choices must be made, for the pets sake and not our own .
5:10 pm
sukee
Exactly, I would only have been keeping him alive for my sake.
5:11 pm
sukee
He had a good life, 17 1/2 years.
5:11 pm
crosshair
Then you did well.
5:11 pm
sukee
I will miss him most at night because he used to sleep with me. But even that had changed.
5:12 pm
crosshair
There are always more cats stranded in shelters looking for the love you gave to the one you lost. He or she is at peace, and would feel proud to pass that love along to another in need.
5:12 pm
sukee
I'll take a bit of a break, until I see one that I want :) I got Boo not long after I had lost my last cat, I hadn't intended to but he came my way.
5:14 pm
crosshair
There will come a time, and it is usually the right time, when the perfect cat ends up choosing you. One look and you will know when it is time.
5:17 pm
sukee
Lots of cats need rescuing that is for sure.
5:17 pm
sukee
LOL, Donald Trump was fired :)
5:18 pm
sukee
Anyway, I'm sad but not too upset. I have been expecting it in the past month.
5:18 pm
crosshair
darn. he still owes me 10 bucks too!
5:19 pm
sukee
Besides, if he is running for President he should not have a weekly TV show.
5:19 pm
crosshair
You have to be kidding me... he is running for president?
5:19 pm
sukee
Yep, he joined the clown bus.
5:20 pm
sukee
That is partly why he got fired, he made some comments about Mexicans.
5:20 pm
crosshair
lol. reason #506 why I no longer do cable T.V
5:21 pm
sukee
Anyway, still need 59 words in here.
5:21 pm
crosshair

5:22 pm
sukee

5:23 pm
sukee
So, what is new with you?
5:26 pm
crosshair
Same ole same ole now my schooling is over. it is kind of sad, but the free time this summer will allow me to finish some writing.
5:27 pm
sukee
At least I have something to look forward to this summer, my sister and brother in law will be visiting from BC at the end of July.
5:27 pm
sukee
These past 2 days have made me fall behind in my writing, going to be doing a lot tomorrow and Canada Day.
5:29 pm
crosshair
I cannot wait to get back into my own writing now that reading for credits is done:)
5:30 pm
crosshair
What project you working on, Sukee?
5:31 pm
sukee
It's the same job I have, I do blog writing for Minuteman Press, very easy and basic stuff. I do about 144 250 word pieces a month.
5:31 pm
crosshair
very nice. That is the type of gig that i am hunting for:)
5:32 pm
crosshair
Have done som copy editing, and some other small stuff, but nothing steady
5:32 pm
sukee
I basically write about events happening in cities in Canada and the US where they have offices and add a few keywords.
5:32 pm
sukee
I get paid a little under $5 for each, not the best but I can do 4 in an hour.
5:33 pm
crosshair

5:33 pm
crosshair
on average?
5:33 pm
sukee
It's with WordsofWorth.com if you want to check it out.
5:33 pm
sukee
Yes, when I keep up :)
5:33 pm
crosshair
Think I will:)
5:34 pm
sukee
I've been writing there for about 3 years now and they pay by paypal. They are based in the UK :)
5:35 pm
crosshair
I have submitted some stuff to Gotham Press in N.Y. but it is mostly to get my name out there. they are a subsidiary of Penguin.
5:36 pm
sukee
oops, that should be Wordsofworth.co.uk. I didn't realize there was another one with the same name.
5:37 pm
crosshair
ahh i was wondering lol
5:39 pm
crosshair
There is a Canadian branch for words of worth:) I also put feelers out at elance.com
5:39 pm
sukee
I gave up on those freelance sites.
5:40 pm
crosshair
Not much has come of them, and what does come pays dirt:(
5:40 pm
sukee
Yes, hard to compete with people from Pakistan and India.
5:41 pm
sukee
But, I know some people who have gotten good gigs. I just don't have the patience.
5:41 pm
crosshair
One guy had nothing but bullet notes and brainstorming and he wanted an etire book done on his ideas. Then i would have had to sign off on all of it--for a lousy $500.00. No thank you.
5:43 pm
sukee
Of course, they get what they pay for usually.
5:44 pm
sukee
Anyway, I am going to make some tea and watch some baseball.
5:44 pm
crosshair
I will not spend 3-9 months of my life writing a polished novel for 500, only to sign off on it.
5:44 pm
crosshair
tc sukee. Nice chat
5:45 pm
sukee
Hope I'll see you tomorrow morning.
5:45 pm
