My sister lives on top of a hill. She had two cats, my niece two cats, they are cat people. About a week ago my dog was barking and barking and the cat was screaming. I came around the side of the house to see what was going on. Mercy my dog showed me where Lacy was. Found in a berry bramble, trapped and had to be cut out. Scott my brother in law ran out and gently clipped her out. She could not move and we put her on a small bed. Scott and my sister Cindy rushed her to the vet, but nothing could be done. The vet found three talon marks which meant it was probably a hawk.. her back and neck were broken. The vet gently helped her go. I was very upset by all this, but it turned out hawks and eagles go after cats. My niece said that’s why she keeps her cats inside. My sister told me this was the third cat they lost to hawks. We all cried. It as very sad.
So I worked on my loooonnnngggg ballet all day, and just as I was almost finished, and was cooking dinner, there came a knock on my door. It was a beautiful gov worker, big smile about twenty three, enthusiastic. She asked about my ballot and looked really happy I was voting. She mentioned top dems and I said yeah I voted for all. She offered to help me finish my ballet, but about then my dinner was burning. I promised “Abriela”I would return it the next day. People are on the ball, because I live at the end of town.
I have 🐝 n a member here since 2008. A year after my huband died. I used to post regularly, but all those old posts disappeared. Then I read but did not post after trump was appointed. I fell into a deep depression. So anyway Ive been around for while and I have been proud of this community that is always so going and kind towards other.
I jut got back from visiting my sister in Oregon, not having flown for over twenty years, my fear of flying thwarted me, but I hadn’t seen her in three years and I missed her. We have always been close. She offered to buy me a plane ticket.
About ten minutes after I got back from my trip pI had a head on collision with another car. My fault going the wrong way on a one way street. I remember nothing about the day, flying airports....
My dog was in the .car and she hit the windshield.
The airbags deployed. My car is totaled. My daughter had to take me to appts this week, but she is a full time college professor and can’t always do it.
I thought about asking you all to help me get a cheap car. I told my daughter I needed one, don’t like the loss Of independence.
“Mom, with your rheumatiod arthritis getting worse and your lack of muscle control, do you think you should be driving anymore?”
She’s right. At this point I’m a menace to society. Getting old sucks.
