The Lounge Feline renal failure May 21 2013

My twelve y/o Polar had liver failure.  We took him home from the vet and had a long discussion, me and my then 13 and 15 girls.  Had a great night loving and hugging him as much as he would let us and the next day brought him and held him to the end.  Took him home, buried him in the garden and planted a rose bush as a marker.

It was the hardest decision to let him go and I am tearing up just writing about it.
He was the greatest cat I ever had.  Eighteen pounds of pure love.  He got down to about ten while sick.

I can't help you make your decision but I know how hard to watch them suffer.

(((take care)))

First off, do you already have tatts?  Do you regret any of them?  What would you change about them, if anything.
Second, get a print of the one you want made and hang it up where you are going to see it a lot.  It will give you an idea of if you are going to get bored with it or not.
Third, make sure you trust your artist.
Forth, make the people that will take care of you in your older years wonder about how wild you once were.

I have washed my fitbit twice.  The first time the rice in a bag tricked work.  The second time it did not.

Saving for the fitbit ONE right now because it is water proof.

A member there told me that if you message customer service and tell them about it, they will send you a new one.  I didn't though because I want the ONE now.

Weight Loss Why do I fit into some pants but not others of the same size? May 14 2013
01:29 (UTC)

This is a battle of the sexes.  
The people that size women clothes can put anything they want on the label.
The people that make men's clothes put the waist size and length on the label.

If women's clothes were sized like men's, we wouldn't have to spend all day in the dressing room trying on clothes.  

And no one would have to worry about being a size zero or size two.

It is a conspiracy to keep us hating our bodies and forever in a store.

You will learn a lot by just running about yourself and other people.

Yes, it will be scary, anything worth going for will scare the hell out of you.

And win or lose, you will meet a lot of people and make connections that you might not have otherwise.

Go for it.

Dreams are hard to figure out some times.  Some times they are for entertainment, some times just to comfort you and some times to teach you things.

Just a quick walk through of your dream.  It seems like you are having problems with self confidence, thus the no one believing you and losing your voice.

Keep a dream journal and write down your dream.

Watch what you eat before you go to bed.  Yogurt before bed gives me some funky dreams.  

Work on your confidence, find your power.

Also make sure that you relax for about thirty minutes before bed.  De stress yourself by meditating.

Not all bread is horrible.  
Try to stay away from the breads that you can squish in your hands and it forms a ball.
As for pasta, stick to a serving size.  
Weigh it out and have one serving of noodles.  Treat it as a side dish and not an entree.  
Even better choice, try spaghetti  squash or shredded zucchini if you do want it as an entree.

Mine are trees, they use to be about six feet tall and then I stopped trimming them back.  They have to be about ten feet now and make a great privacy fence in the summer.

I talked to the guy there and he said I could put lilac bushes out front. I need to amend the soil, but that they'd grow well in those conditions.

Make sure that you really love lilacs. 
My mom hated the lilacs in front of our house growing up and did everything to get rid of it.  It came back stronger every year.

I, on the other hand, love them.  I have about six that are over forty years old and still beautiful. My backyard smells heavenly right now.

Consider this

You are taking pills that you are not really sure about the ingredients.
You do not know how long they will stay in your system.
You do not know exactly what they are doing, except for hoping they will help you lose weight.

Now what happens when you decide to have a family?
Are you going to be passing any of that drug to your unborn child?
What side effects will your developing child  encounter because you willing decided to take this chance to lose weight?


Do you think that the people that are making this product care about your health.
No they just want your hard earned money. 

Just something to consider.

Okay, I have a question.

I have a dead zone for growing anything but grass and weeds.  I have tried to grow all sorts of flowers over the last thirteen years.  I have built up the soil and fertilized.  I have dug down a foot and replaced the soil.

It is a small patch on the front side of my house that gets mostly full sun.  The adjoining plot at the front of the house will grow anything and only gets a bit of sun because it is shaded by a maple.  This spot is just around corner.

It is driving me crazy because I have been trying every year for sooo long.

Can anybody help?

If you really want to help yourself, please talk to your therapist about this issue, eat the amount that your nutritionist told you to, and stop restricting your food.

Your main goal in life should be to live a long healthy life.  Not to worry so much about how much eat and weigh.  You are worrying to much about your weight and not living your life.

I gave up on 1200 calorie diet when I joined here and found out I could eat 1700-2000 calories a day and still lose weight.

Most doctors know squat about nutrition.  

And your lovely sister is not doing you any favours by buying you a dress that far in advance.

My advice would be as stated above, if you are serious get the NRFW and follow it.

Okay, if you think that he is trying to hurt you, you need to end this relationship.  People that are committed to each try not to hurt the other person.

Yes, it will hurt emotionally for you, but think about, do you always want to wonder when the next breaking point for him will be and if he is going to leave you again.

Never give your power to someone else.  
Take some time and get comfortable with yourself.  Find your confidence.  

It will be the best thing that you can do for yourself.
