Nettie Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 They played "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion at my great uncle Keiths funeral as he went through the curtains. I had to cover my face with my hands because it made me laugh. Not only is it a cheesy song, Keith was incredibly cheesy so it suited him perfectly but also the heart of somebody about to be cremated does not go on so what was the point in that song? I'm sorry, I've been a bit norty. Good thoughts for Moo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trallwm farm Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I've just knocked on my neighbours door to give them a parcel that the postman left with me today. My neighbours are around 30 so about my age but I can't help but come away from conversations with them just utterly like this -> Firstly, we get told about a party they're having in early November. She (neighbour) tells me it will involve fireworks so I then start assuming this is why I'm being told. Then I'm informed there will be sandwiches (crazy party, this!). We are welcome to go round. Oh. One of these neighbours has a MA in Science Fiction. I'm starting to get worried about the party. Secondly, as said neighbour is cooing over one of my playful cats darting around on the driveway, I am told they are getting a cat, ideally two, but...unfortunately all the ones in rescue at the moment are black and white. Why not black and white I ask. I'm told there are too many black and white cats in the area, as she points at my Bonnie cat, and said it won't set them apart Thirdly, in this conversation which lastest no more than four or five minutes, I'm also informed that the stress of flooding last year is still taking it's toll because they are trying for a baby and, despite trying for some time, they are having no luck. They went to the hospital and are both apparently ok so have been told it's stress-related. This is a subject where I have great empathy because of my own situation however it's not one I would be discussing with the neighbours. (Probably mostly due to them then proceeding to tell the world by posting it on a forum ) I really did not need or want to know most of this Presumably if they do have a baby it will be something other than black or white to avoid mistakes of ownership in the park.

safneo Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Cheryl, I hope you can get to the bottom of it . And I hope it was down to the child 'mishandling' her as bad as that is, at least it gives an explanation. Zara never showed any signs of a problem when she was with you so unless she is stressed or ill, there can't be much other reason. Jules, how did you get on in your meeting today? scrummy! Will send positive thoughts for Moo tomorrow. What time is your appointment? Healing thoughts to Moo I am never ever sending my dogs to kennels again I trust my kennels 100% and they are the most fab kennels ever with an acre of secure land every dog has playtime in off lead every day - but my boys do not do kennels - Toblie has red eyes, he has not been sleeping and Beenzie has lost his bark OH keeps pushing to go on holiday. I keep stalling as there is no way I think my dogs can cope in kennels, especially Neo He woukd go crazy and end up with SA to add to his list of problems. I may well end up divorced before then! Shazzy, glad your FIL is picking up Mel, please keep on at the doc to chase the results orget you in for another MRI incase they have lost the results Glad that Foodog is looking after you. I would try and set up a recorder if you can or even a webcam that you can set to record. Presumably if they do have a baby it will be something other than black or white to avoid mistakes of ownership in the park. Julia, are you dressing up too? If so we need pics of 'Mary' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Presumably if they do have a baby it will be something other than black or white to avoid mistakes of ownership in the park. Absolutely! Nobody wants my foster kittens Cheese and Pickle. *said in best Ali G voice* Is it cos they is black? I knew people could be, erm, selective over dog colours and that's always baffled me but I must have been really shortsighted to think that didn't extend to cats too. I have three cats - one is black and white, one is black and t'other is white. Pure common cats Is it something that a touch of Nice 'n Easy can sort out? If so, the neighbours would prefer tabby or tortoiseshell please. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoebejo Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Is it something that a touch of Nice 'n Easy can sort out? If so, the neighbours would prefer tabby or tortoiseshell please. Thank you. I put pink food colouring on Eggs belly so I could tell him and Spam apart, maybe I could try a similar thing with Cheese & Pickle. Do you think they'd like black & pink kittens?

cycas Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I have missed loads and cannot catch up now. From a quick scan it appears that Melps is planning her funeral, and Kelly and Phoebejo are conspiring to supply fake dyed kittens. If that's a representative sample I'm not sure I dare go back any further.... Here is a random comedy pic of me and Molls when she decided she wasn't going to walk over any more pebbles. Anyone know where you can get those little dog-bags for chihuahuas in greyhound sizes...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Because when ever i leave my room she invites herself in unwelcomed and you cant get rid of her. She just goes to sleep on my bed, or goes through my things Some people don't have any sense of privacy, and don't realise that this kind of thing makes housemates feel threatened. You need a lock for your door for when you are out of the house anyway, but have you tried explaining that you need your personal space, you don't like people going through your things and if she wants to sleep you would rather she did so in her own bed? She may simply be lonely and unable to relate to people, as she is clearly missing some social skills. Or maybe she comes from a family which doesn't go in for privacy. It's difficult to confront someone over something like this, but it isn't going to go away and you are doing her no favours by letting her think it's OK. Lots of good thoughts for Moo and everyone else in need. All the cows, goats and turkeys arrived safely I am told, but I haven't seen any yet as out until after dark. I went to see Mary and heard the latest about Tim. He is still on pureed food, but eating OK. His hand movements are shaky but he is communicating well by alphabet board. Carmarthen hospital want to transfer him to the rehab unit at A.N.Other hospital - which has refused to take him as he has Aspergers. They don't seem to know anything about the condition and insist it means he can't learn anything. His bro who is a doctor is going to try to enlighten them. Tim is a gifted mathematician, chess player and musician. He can do logical stuff, it's the complex and often illogical interactions between people which he can't get to grips with. He is making a real effort to work with the nurses to recover from his stroke, and it is shocking that he can't get the rehab he needs. Why has Rolex decided to sing an aria at this time of night?

Shocking that medical peeps don't understand about Aspergers - hope Tim gets the treatment/ rehab that he so obviously deserves.

merledogs Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Morning Back to work after 4 days off but on the plus side, I am only in today and tomorrow and then not back in until Wednesday next week. However, I have an exam on Tuesday so the time will be spent studying, studying and then studying some more Healing thoughts for Moo I am never ever sending my dogs to kennels again I trust my kennels 100% and they are the most fab kennels ever with an acre of secure land every dog has playtime in off lead every day - but my boys do not do kennels - Toblie has red eyes, he has not been sleeping and Beenzie has lost his bark Awww bless, they missed their mummy Melp, I hope the doctors get to the bottom of whatever ails you soon I knew people could be, erm, selective over dog colours and that's always baffled me but I must have been really shortsighted to think that didn't extend to cats too. I have three cats - one is black and white, one is black and t'other is white.
