just ignore and let this one die

OOoo good idea You are evil,I like it!

If that doesn't fly, I have more. Just let me know.

today has been a total emotional roller-coaster for me. lots of really great things fell in to my lap, but they all seem so "blah" now, so i'm not even going to talk about them....

about the kitty i rescued, i took pictures up to my MIL campsite and right there on the spot she said she would adopt it. i was so happy. she named him Sierra, because at the time we thought it was a female. turns out he was a sweet little boycat. when i got home, i had a message from the vet that the little darling had leukemia. so, after much sadness and explanation and guilt, i agreed to have him put down. he was sweet and friendly, albeit scared and nervous. so i take this harmless critter under my wing, feed him and tell him the doctor is going to make his life all better and that he's going to have a great new life, and instead i have to have him put down. i feel sick, and sad, and a little mad i think. i feel like a traitor. anyway, off to sulk and try to get over it. this really sucks!

So glad to hear your mom is doing better, Rioko. Give her our best. She's lucky she has you to take care of her.

Speaking of parents, has anyone heard from Joseph? Is his dad still on the mend?

Gah! 3ring. You posted at the same time I was posting positive thoughts about Rioko.

I'm so sorry about the kitty. How awful! You're doing the best you can for her, though. It's tough, but sometimes what's best for them is what hurts us the most.

It was never *my* vision. At the beginning of July, someone else suggested that the guys do write-ups. Then a week later, when guys started requesting months, someone stated that 'maybe the guys should not get to pick, but should be randomly assigned a month'.

My mistake was is assuming that those suggestions had been originally adopted and were then starting to be deviated from (hence the comment about "going back to xxxxx". Combine that with a couple of other ladies making similar comments to me and I decided to post my opinions.

The only thing that I distinctly remember being pretty much agreed to that would be totally up to the women such that they could each do their own thing was in regards to what they wore -- i.e. no common theme of lingerie or bathing suits, etc... Since Oryx will be putting the pages together with the blurbs, I don't see how any of us really have control over our final page layout.

I have no problem going along with the majority, though even that won't really be the case because it is, and has been, mostly less than half the women discussing any of this.

Thanks Trout.



Awwww 3 :hug:

oohhhh...good thinking, Batman!

Yes, Joseph's dad is improving on a daily basis.

OMG, 3Ring...I had the very same thing happen to a stray I adopted!! So sorry for you...It was one of the hardest things I've had to do... *hugs*

Sorry to hear the bad news. I just lost a female cat that adopted us some 14 years ago. She had become blind in one eye and developed ulcers in her mouth and couldn't eat. She was a good cat and we all miss her. I know it isn't the same but I feel your pain.

"CX"

awwww 3 - big big hug to you.

I have had to put down a dog and a cat in the past year and another dog roughly 3 years ago -- it sucks soooooooo bad.

Well 3Ring at least this kitty has met a wonderful person for there short time on planet earth.
You did all you can do and should be proud of that much its so hard, I have had to my pet down before. All my best to you.

Oh, 3ring I'm so sorry about the kitty... If it's any consolation, if you had not rescued him, he may have infected many other cats, and suffered a great deal.

Thanks Mo. The ONLY stipulation for any pics is a specific size of 512 x 512, and a file type of JPG, TGA, XCF, PSD, etc. No BMP please as it sucks ass. I'm voting no on the collage. Where would it go?

Fifty words max on the captions. We don't want the font to be too tiny.

Oh 3.... I am so dreadfully sorry - I can't tell you. At least he had the brief time he did and got to know someone so special that gave him comfort. Don't feel guilty - your did the right thing. You eased his time and made his end one of respect.

Hugs- I know how everything else must seem pretty damn stupid by comparison right now - some people may say it's "just" a cat- but pet lovers know- there is no such thing as "just a".

I just rated Brenda
I just rated Brenda
Who just rated Brenda?
Trout just rated Brenda.

Hah! Good God! Step back on the good foot!

Bahh bah bah baduh!

<------ Hardest working Trout in Second Life.

Awwe, that sucks. Sorry to hear about the kitty. It's better to ease him out of the world than let him suffer. You did the right thing.

OK - I have waded through the last umpteen pages because a couple of the women have called my attention to the discussion about the blurbs. I volunteered a long time ago to coordinate those, so I suppose I could now get in the act by explaining the reasons behind the factors that have apparently led to a controversy. HOWEVER, having read the whole kerfuffle, I'ain't touching it with a ten-foot Pole, Arab or Greenlander.

INSTEAD, I am, for no money down, gonna make an offer:

I will personally take care of all the captions in this way: I will go through this whole 25000 message thread and pick a line or two from a post by each woman pictured in the calendar and HER OWN WORDS will be the caption for her picture. Nobody writes anything, it has already been written.

ANY male who can spot some particularly appropriate remark a lady has made that can be used as her caption is invited to submit it to me.

Ann's is already chosen: "My ass speaks for itself". (Thank you, Ann, this is where I got the idea.)

You may count on others in this vein. Double entendre will be rampant.

If you demand some control over my sense of humor or the dignity of those pictured, I will gladly submit my choices for peer review by any two males whose taste in such matters is indisputable. If you can find 'em.

Mac!

I just saw. That was beyond awesome. If I go up on a building and jump will you save me?

Seriously.. that was a great pic on a favorite subject. Thank you.

I think Cee is the wisest amongst us ..
