So, Uh, What Have I Missed? Here I Mean?

I Told You So ...
EF VIP
Apparently it's kind of been like, um, nearly six months since I've been here or made any contribution at all.

Anything interesting or worthwhile, or shall I just continue trolling unbearably tight-assed message boards?
 
So, nothing's going on, I take it, and only two people recognize me.

Glad to see nothing's changed!

I think I got banned from a low carb board for trying to be helpful. Fuckers actually use an IP filter, too. Caught me when I did a Java.

I turned 50. I lost 20 pounds. I'm hypothyroid. I fell on the ice and bruised my tailbone 10 days ago and it still hurts like a son of a bitch. Two of my cats had bad teeth and I'll be paying that shit off for the next six months ... and that's pretty much everything. I'm actually not complaining, it's just that my life is so goddamned boring most of what I have to share sucks donkey dick.

I assume Pick's life still sucks moar than mine, so you go be your str8 old self, sweetie :kiss:

I'm gonna say sorry/not sorry to hear about your divorce, Nan. From my POV, no matter how you guys feel/felt about each other it sounded like there was some serious incompatibility, at least what you shared on the board. You've been together a long time, relationships that start under 25 or so are tough. People change as they finally mature. Honestly, getting divorced was the best decision I ever made (only really good one, other than marrying my current hub). Working the material shit out is a PITA though. I'll tell you one thing, don't take his word on ANYTHING. Get everything in writing, seriously. Divorce brings out the asshole in a lot of people.

Im having a great time separated. Less stress and shit. We're still living together while we sort out the division of the house. I was moving out next month but he finally realized he cant keep the house and will allow me to keep it. Gonna refinance it under my name this week. Give him his share of equity so he can be on his merry way out.
 
What's a bad kitty tooth repair cost?
Just a straight dental starts at $500 per mouth (that includes preanesthesia blood work and x-rays). Rotten/broken teeth are what kills you. Extracting 14 teeth between the two cost another $900.

Fucking 15 year old cats. Could have put them both to sleep and gotten their ashes in commemorative boxes for the price of one uncomplicated dental.

Allow me to serve as a cautionary tale. Dogs cost exactly the same. We've just been dealing with other vet bills (cancer, two cats within four years of each other) that we kept postponing the dentals on the cats that weren't sick.

Man, I will never forget the first morning I woke up after leaving the ex. Felt like Christmas, the first day of summer vacation, and my first day home from the Army having a cup of coffee WITH a cigarette all rolled into one! I was singing "I'm Free" by The Who all day.

Sounds like you two are being fairly civilized. I hope it continues to go smoothly.
 
Cindy, Digi, SD, yo, how ya do in? (Sorry, I've been marathoning Episodes)

Hey, does anyone else think the Elite app looks like shit on the Droid platform? I ended up deleting it and just view the forum as is. You do lose some formatting and functions (e.g., can't give karma).

Before any of you techie types say it, my tablet is lame but considering it was only $100 it was waaaaayyy cheaper than a new pair of glasses. I really just wanted to get an e-reader to begin with. Web access, widgets and apps were a total bonus.

That doesn't sound too bad.


Mittens swallowed a hair tie/rubber band and it cost me 2 grand.

Shit, both of my cancer cats had multiple tumor removals, NEVER had a single surgery run that high!

My vet is a cat specialist, maybe that has something to do with it? Or it's geographic?

I go to the best place in town. They're more expensive, but they're awesome.

Well, I'm within 20 minutes of the U of Penn Vet Center, one of the top in the country. I won't go there, you'll literally pay 4x what you'd pay with any good vet.

The vet I have is very good. Cat specialists have to be by the simple fact that when they specialize they've narrowed the hell out of their business. I don't like taking cats to a vet that does all sorts of animals, I've had some bad experiences, and heard worse stories (the vet that couldn't vaccinate a cat because it was throwing a fit so they anethetized it and the cat died from anesthesia comes to mind -- true story, happened to my husband's friend).

For most cats the experience of being shoved into a carrier and going on a car ride is terrifying enough combined with smelling all the lingering odors of strange cats, but combine that with animals that they consider predators?

Also, I don't like the way vets that also treat dogs usually handle cats. Most of them don't understand cat psychology. A cat freaks out and the vet treats it like a dog that's misbehaving, shake a cat and speak firmly and you've just escalated things and frighten the animal further. My vet handles cats like they're sweaty sticks of dynamite, very gently, speaking softly, no matter how bad the scene gets. They were working with a feral cat when I dropped the girls off for surgery, talk about caterwauling.

That's what has always impressed me with cat specialists (this is the second one I've used), the staff is so good, fearless but calm. Exactly the perfect approach for a frightened cat.
