I have some good news for all of those posting here who hate/dislike me and what I post here in the Sink. I am once again going to Vegas the 17th and will be there til the 27th - which means that you will have the Sink all to yourselves and can post whatever you want without me having to correct you and state the truth. I will still post up to the time I depart for Vegas. MAGA 2024!

It's also good news for David's neighbors. For ten days, their kids will be safe.
We can track David's fortunes by how often he posts in the Sink--there's absolutely no fucking way on God's green earth that he'll refrain for even 24 hours, let alone ten dsys. But he generally comes here and whines and attacks people immediately after a good ass-reaming from his favorite casino.
We also know that he'll come back angrier than ever after yet another losing trip.
MAGOO 2024!

Go to Vegas and lose your ass--again. Then come back here angrier than ever and spew.
May I state here, since the thread isn't so long yet that it will be passed over, that you, David, as far as my pea brain recalls, have never fired an ugly word towards me or anything I posted. I want to be on record with that.
I hope you have lots of fun (and of course a little profit) on your trip. My husband passed away unexpectedly last week. His health problems, including unrelenting pain, had severely cut into the frequency of my casino trips, but he and Albert, our rescued cat, held the place down together pretty well. They were great buddies, thankfully. Now, no husband to look after Albert. When you have a pet of any sort it creates traveling challenges, and with Albert requiring an insulin shot twice a day, who would step in? Seemingly nobody.
Miraculously I have found a lady who loves to cat sit and knows how to give shots! Going to give her a trial run in a few weeks, so hopefully I'll have a few more trips to report on.
Pardon the personal words about my husband. Though not one iota of a gambler, he used to like going with my BFF and I on trips. He liked the sights and sounds and fun of traveling when he was well. But now he is out of pain, thank God. Revelations 21:1-4.

I am sorry for your loss. I really understand how important your kitty is to you now. When my brother-in-law had a massive heart attack riding his bike on his annual bike trip, my sister's kitty Mollie became her link to him. I definitely can relate to his living with pain. I live with chronic pain every day. Others don't realize how devastating it is because it's not noticeable. Enjoy your trip and let the tears flow when necessary.

I'm very sorry to hear this. We all have an expiration date, but we never know exactly when it will be. So it's never easy for our loved ones to prepare or adjust when we depart, or for us to prepare or adjust when they do.
Cats, and pets in general, can be amazingly therapeutic. Their companionship and affection can make it easier to endure being in pain, bedridden, etc. (And of course, cats love it when they can sleep with you round the clock.) I'm sure the same is true of dogs as well, though they probably don't cope as well with their human(s) being inactive and unable to play with them, etc.
Congrats on finding a potential super cat sitter. Giving Albert two daily shots really ramps up the difficulty level. I assume his diet has to be monitored more closely than that of the average cat.
Enjoy your upcoming trip!

Thank you, Robert, for the comforting words. I feel your sister's grief. And your pain. Numerous procedures, surgeries, shots, and of course pills...nothing ever helped. One week since and the tears are just now starting to flow, so much to do after a death.
Advice for everybody...start now collecting notification numbers and addresses (family, financial), favorite pictures, instructions/final arrangements. File those things where either of you will be able to put your hands on it. It is a lot harder to remember anything in those awful moments.

Sorry for your loss, Candy.
My mother is going through something similar as your late husband and its heartbreaking. Choosing between the gift of life with suffering or death to end the suffering......who can say which is better? We can only hope the suffering yields more good days than bad while they are still with us.
Hope your husband has found peace and I hope you can get a second wind on enjoying the rest of your life.

Beautifully said, PJ, "the gift of life with suffering vs death to end it...who can say which is better?" Nobody, of course can say. Whenever asked if he might take his own life (doctors, hospital forms) he'd say "I don't have the guts."
He maintained an unrealistic (my word) belief that he would some day be able to go back to work (auto tech) and catch up on things around the house. That hope may have sustained him more than I realized. We once had the loveliest yard/flowers, etc. in the subdivision.
But, ya know, when you work full time (as did I), even in the best of times, things get put on the back burner, then suddenly "normal" falls apart and things are left undone. That's life.
Hey, just yesterday I figured out how to pull our TV remotes apart to change the batteries. Before I couldn't do it, always had to hand it to him to do. Yea me!
Anyway, thank you, PJ,l for your thoughts, very much appreciated.
Candy
