Hope, I'm so glad that you were able to be with her near the end. I know that you are relieved now that she is at peace and reunited with her love, but I also know that doesn't keep you from feeling the pain of her absence from this earth. Be gentle with yourself in the coming days. I"m sure...

Awww, thanks for remembering me! I'm just enjoying the peace and quiet this evening, me and the kitters!

Hmm, perhaps you're not familiar w/the concept of sarcasm? I've had some really minor, NON-terrorist-related stuff confiscated by over-zealous TSA agents (Like a metal nail file <3" long), so I tend to travel light and lay it all out for them. Haven't had anything more than a wand search. One...

Alycia I'm so sorry to hear that your DS has a venom allergy! I myself am allergic to wasps and hornets, and I must (should) carry an epi-pen during warmer weather. There are actually about 8 different types of stinging insect venom, and it's rare for someone to be allergic to all of them. I'm...

I soooooo would carry that thru security!!!!!

Just stumbled onto this thread, so I haven't read all the responses yet. I do have a Diva, and I LOVE it!!! I don't consider myself an overly 'crunchy' individual, but I will admit, freeing up all that cupboard space in my bathroom formerly occupied by tampons, pads and liners was incredibly...

Maybe it's just because I was raised by a medical professional, but I wouldn't have it any other way than in a hospital, surrounded by competent staff who respect my rights and wishes. I had an induced, uncomplicated hospital birth, w/an epidural which I probably could have passed on with a...

OMG Beth he's just precious!! Isn't it the most amazing thing watching them change almost daily??? And I have to agree, that 'sad face' pic is contest-worthy!

Actually, if it's infected (which it looks like it most likely is) it would be necessary to remove the ring to clean the wound properly. My earlobe got infected 10 days after piercing, and my doctor instructed me just as Brandi said: soak the stud in peroxide, then alcohol, then reinsert (after...

I just bought a used one -- I am a little tripped out by the small size as well, but I think I'll just make sure to keep the earbuds attached. Plus, I bought a charger for my car, so it'll be harder to lose track of in there! I have to admit, I'm a bit of a technophobe, so I haven't loaded it...

Dang it Angie -- I got mine today too, and it's all YOUR fault!!! lol I read your original post, and it got me thinking, "Doesn't my daughter deserve the cleanest house i can give her??" And, "Gee, Sarah's looks sooooo pretty!!! (Sarah is Dani's daycare provider) So I hemmed and hawed, and...

BANANA -- only took me 30 seconds, and three read-thru's to figure it out

Thank you all for your support. I did something I've never done before - I opted to have Tuxie privately cremated and returned to me. The ground is currently too frozen for burial, and I couldn't see just 'disposing' of her. I think I may take her to the cemetary in the spring to be with her...
