Saw the mistake too late. You already posted, deb.

Maybe she'll forgive me.

msolga, forgive me. Anybody can make a typo. Shoulda proofread, but didn't. Can I play on your sympathies and say that I'm having an especially bad day? I am. (Don't ask.) Mea culpa.

I'm asking...so kill me.

Can't kill ya. I can't reach that far. Aside from a dire economic situation relating to life and health (an extremely delayed payment that actually brought me to tears), I'm in pain. Eye, ear, cheek. Managed to get an appointment with my doctor tomorrow. Not gonna think about how I'll pay him. I need some relief. It may be neuralgia, a sinus infection, or something related to a tooth. If it's the tooth, I can't afford to go to the dentist.

Aren't you glad you asked?

Crossed paws for the sinus.

The payment isn't even close to coming--for an invoice I submitted on Aug. 2. This is creating a very messy situation with something I don't want to go into. I'm hysterical. You know things are bad when money makes you cry.

I hope it's sinuses too.

You are forgiven, my good woman!

Actually, I think "olag" is rather a fine name ... but I strongly suspect it's a boy name. Phooey to that, I say! Otherwise I wouldn't mind at all!

I hope your day has improved heaps by the time you read this post, Roberto ... er, Roberta! :wink:

No, really, I mean that!

Money makes me cry, too.

Have a little chicken soup.

And a hug.

Aw, Roberta. Sad

I wish I could help in some way.

And I hope the pain is easing now, a bit at least. I had neuralgia once, in the nerve endings around one of my eyes. It was absolute agony! So I hope it's a sinus thing, too.

Big hugs to you!

Thanks deb and msolga (spelled it right). The pain is worse. Taking OTC stuff, which makes me groggy. Still have terrible pain.

What can I tell ya.

Had chicken soup for dinner, deb. Not homemade, so I don't know if that counts. Just opened a can and heated it up.

You take good care now, Roberta.

Found out that the check will be arriving next week. Greatly relieved. Still in a lot of pain. I see the doctor in a few hours.

Don't step on the cat.

It can lead to painful ankles.

Oh the moral turpitude!

Is A2k barren of all conscience and empathy that THIS is the only reason we can find not to cause pain to another sentient denizen of the universe?

You deny them sentience?

What...are they blocks of wood?

Hath not a cat eyes? Hath not a cat paws, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Drewdad is? If you prick them do they not bleed? If you tickle them do they not not purr? If you poison them do thay not die? And if you wrong them shall they not revenge? If they are like you in the rest, they will resemble you in that. If a cat wrong a Drewdad, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Drewdad wrong a cat, what should his sufferance be by Drewdad example? Why, revenge. The villainy you teach them they will execute, and it shall go hard but theywill better the instruction.

And if THAT does not make you mend your ways, Drewdad, I shall have to to bring out the BIG gun...yes, I shall have to use the quality of mercy speech! Ans we all know the injuries THAT causes, don't we......hmmmmm?

Make sure you've got the right size underwear on before you leave the house.

Even better - throw out any underwears that don't fit.

Even better -- buy your underwear one size too big. If there's spandex in them they won't bag or wrinkle. Very comfortable -- just don't "grow" into them.

First, very moving speechifying, deb. Is Drewdad's cat Jewish?

Back from the doctor. Not my sinuses. Not neuralgia. He wants me to see a specialist. I begged for an antibiotic. He relented. If that doesn't work, I will have to figure out how to see a specialist via the city clinic. Oy.

Word for a happier life: Don't get sick. One way to avoid germs: Don't inhale. Hope this helps.

Never leave a 92 Jeep running on a hot day while the AC is on. Itll blow up the radiator.
