Thank you lil. I agree, actually. And i agree with Cristen, that this should've been PMed, not in a forum. But i wasn't the one that decided to make it public.
Nor am i the one bringing up 2 year old debates. Personally, i'd gotten over all of that and moved on.

I don't expect sides to be taken. There are no sides to take when two people are wrong.
It's just...well, if you're going to publicly call someone out on something they said privately and anonymously, you gotta expect that there's at least a possibility that they'll come forward...publicly.

I don't think correction/criticism should be given anonymously, but it should be done privately. And I don't think confronting anonymous criticism is even worthwhile.

There are times we all gotta just let stuff roll off of us.

And with that, I am off to seek medical attention.

But P.S...Whatever y'all have done "wrong", so have most of us...maybe differently, but still wrong. So I'm not pointing fingers, just saying...I hope stuff can be forgiven and resolved.

Right, going now.

Cristen - I hope it's not super serious. Feel better!

lil - So happy you got to see Mocha!

PopClick & Ugly - I hope you will apologize and forgive and seek true conflict resolution and reconciliation. Hash things out (privately, of course) and then make up. One of the best qualities a person can have is the ability to say, "I'm sorry" and really mean it.


So I took the kittens in for their first vet check-up this morning, and they told me they have some fleas. It must not be that bad because the kittens hardly ever itch and I've never seen anything that I've identified as evidence of them having fleas. They were apparently covered in fleas when they arrived at the shelter I was told, and the flea bath they gave them must not have totally done the trick. The vet obviously gave them a flea treatment, but now I'm freaking out a little bit about getting infested. I vacuumed my entire house when I got home as well as the furniture they had been on. I'm just hoping and praying that this doesn't become a bigger problem.

not me!

I haven't done anything "wrong" yet. I am biding my time. When I do, it's gonna be epic.

That moment when you ordered something off of Amazon, it's delivery day, you know it's on its way, and you're REEAAALLLYYY impatient. They said it'd be at my doorstep at 8:00 pm. Whaaat. I didn't even know they delivered packages that late in the evening.

so many in CC have recently expressed many pains, bad weeks, feelings of "meh." But there has been answered prayer as well.

Praying that my CC brothers and sisters will be comforted by God's unequaled love.

Well, they let me keep my arm.

Just kidding....















I didn't even go to the ER. I called the only nurse I know, she came over, checked out the burn on my wrist, put some smelly stuff on it, wrapped it in gauze, and told me I'll probably live.

Yeah, but the whole thing just doesn't smack of anything (at least I think) Pop would bring up, really. Maybe it's something else? more recent? Anyway, it just doesn't sound right. I guess I don't really know but it doesn't feel right.

The packages finally came in :) I got myself some dark chocolate with crushed espresso beans in it. It's amazing.

i've been dragging my feet getting ready to go to kaiser for another Fe infusion. wishing i could skip or delay, but the really nice nurse only works on wednesdays. and that's WELL worth overcoming my stubbornness. : )

therefore, i am expecting lots of riveting, scandalous, and amusing reading when i get there. so.... hurry up and start posting people!!!

otherwise, all the people in my cell phone might get textbombed. bwwahahaahaahaahahaa.

in other news, i'm happy that mocha is ok, cristen will live, fenner is a princess, chandlerfan's cute kitties are healthy and um, people are ironing out their differences. oh, and persNick, i think there's a pill that can help you with the drooling. : )

Dentist put my crowns on today, it hurts, a lot more than I thought it would. Who knew being a Princess could be so painful?!

wait, you don't drunk-text people?????

oh, well, i guess i don't either. but i have sent texts under the influence of ice cream, near-lethal levels of giddiness, chocolate, extreme annoyance, cheesy bbq pizza, general spazziness, and a triple shot mint mocha.

I've never drunk tested anyone, shocking I know. I just show up on their doorstep drunk and say stupid things. ;)

Texting wasn't Yet the main form of irritating people during the couple years that I drank way too much... There were a fair amount of drunk emails sent, and a couple of drunk I-just-stole-your-absurdly-large-Beanie Baby-collection-guess-what-I-stuck-them-to-the-wall-with moments.

Now I've realized I'm plenty crazy enough without a few drinks too many. A text from me sober is harassment enough :D

I've been under the influence of emotional-that-time-of-the-month-hormones texting. Poor boyfriends & guy friends.
