Oh a lot of things...I feel like we've been in a "pissing match" around here...very unusual for this forum but on hindsight...that's what families occasionally do.

Last night we went to an excellent presentation at IUSB put on by the Suicide Research Team. We are fortunate to have Professor John McIntosh on our campus. He is nationally and internationally known for his work on suicide, especially with regard to the elderly. He is former President of the American Association of Suicidology and is known for his research into the "survivors" of suicide...family members and other close friends who are left behind when someone take his or her own life.

And he is very approachable..has helped me in the past with questions pertaining to various forums I have participated in.

As always the statics are alarming...more about that later.

I'm having lunch with Barbo at a new place and hoping the wallpaper will arrive in a day or two. *grin

Hugs for the room....

I'm sorry about your kitty too BMW...how like you to bury it before they others came home....that's what Mothers do.

LOL...re:the song!

a lot of fear is on my plate. about this that the other and everything else.

i feel terribly unsettled and disturbed today.

there are people in the house overhauling the chimney and that is not helping. i want to dig a hole and hide in it.

I'm so sorry your are feeling this way Alice (formerly known as ~waves~)
I think maybe you gave too much of yourself last night...thank you but remember what our David always says....YOU TAKE CARE OF YOU..

Hello, BMW:

So, SSOOOO sorry to hear about your cat. My dog died in 1985, and there probably isn't a day I don't think about her. I think circumstances have a lot to say about what happens inside the owner...

My dog, well, you go to the vets with your pet, and you go home alone. She was only 10: cancer. I had another dog before her, however, aged 13, that we knew was dying. She passed away one morning. Lesson to me, perhaps to others: if you are expecting it, that's one case. If you're not expecting it, well, that entirely another, i.e., the trauma is greater and lasts longer.

You were right to do what you did. And how fortunate you are, to have more than one cat! They will lessen the load.

Best wishes, Tom
