Having to waste time on circular arguments with companies.
Now, a circular argument with a friend can be a fun, even if the cut and thrust regarding theology, politics or reality in general can drag on - In regard to the extent that it is commonly agreed upon (A final clause phrasing I agreed upon as a foundation for further jousting: I do ensure that Young-Earth Christian friends can play with the big boy toys).
But companies trying it, well I will be nice at first. But, when they play games with facts, semantics, logic, and overriding principles. Well, Many step back and expect taloned wings to grow from my back.
It is the toughest decision to make. On reflection, one time in the past I feel I waited too long. I had trouble making this difficult decision because I was not sure how I would handle the loss. Whenever you decide, give yourself time to grieve fully and treat yourself kindly, knowing you made the right decision to end suffering.
Yep. The idea was to take the funding formerly used for in-patient, add additional funding and build a robust system of Community Mental Health Centers. Unfortunately, they closed or greatly reduced the in-patient facilities, but did not come close to funding Community Mental Health Centers as proposed. Very sad and we’ve lived with the consequences for many years. Somehow, some folks still don’t think Mental Health or Behavioral Health issues aren’t “real health” issues. I know I’m prejudiced, but was someone with lived experience I know those issues are just as real as a broken bone, a bacterial or viral infection or other medical issues.
Now I’ll get off my soapbox.
Yes, very difficult because he’s not in pain, gets around for himself and is affectionate. As for quality of life, it’s hard to judge because I don’t know what he’s thinking. Maybe for him, taking long naps, soaking up the sun and watching the birds is all the quality he needs. He loves his outdoors. And yes, he’s got some dementia. He acts a little kooky sometimes and overall slower. He can’t clean himself well anymore so we brush him the best we can. He’s a boney, old man and who am I to take his life away? If the tide turns for the worse I will help him, if needed (and that will be excruciating).
As he’s an outdoor cat with dementia, it does sound like he is engaging in simple and easy memories from when he was young. As long as he is comfortable, does not seem distressed or overly aggressive, then leave him be.
I think many would like to enjoy such a simple model of enjoyment (apart from the sun for me).
Yes, he’s indoor/outdoor and we just found out that the neighbor he likes to visit has been feeding him. That explains his picky appetite at home. At least I know he’s eating and that’s a good thing. Sometimes I see him hanging out with the guys on their back porch. He’s got a life.
Out of curiosity I called the guys and asked what they were feeding him today…steak. No wonder he hasn’t been eating much at home. Guess I’ll be buying some steak. It’s amazing how these wild beasts can exercise their powers over you.
ya think? My last remaining dog plays Jedi Mind Tricks on me all the time. Just when I find something she likes, nope, not having it. She’s been that way since I brought her home from the shelter 12 years ago. Drives me nuts.
Wow, I never met a dog who did that. I thought it was an exclusive feline behavior. Speaking of felines, in the middle of the night he went downstairs and was whacking his toys around. This cat befuddles me and makes me look like a liar. I post tearful comments about how I can’t take the thought of euthanasia, sob sob, and then he kills two rabbits and trots across the yard to have steak with the boys.
Well, he is convinced that he’s young again. Has he been seen beating up younger cats and also called out to play by a hareem of jailbait pussy on heat yet?
Having to remove countless videos from suggested teaching lists due to confusing lexical choices.
The current ones were all examples of verbification (yes, that again!). For example, ‘most disrupting’ cannot be used as ‘most’, in this extract, is being used to indicate that it is an adverb used with an adjective to make the superlative ‘most disruptive’. So why use a fucking gerund!
I wish we could still use fatal beatings over such matters. Or, be able to suggest abortions up to the 300th month.
Oy, your detailed explanations of grammar are bursting my brain cells. I haven’t seen the word gerund since I last fell down a google rabbit hole. I’m so glad you weren’t my English teacher in high school.
When you have time to try and troubleshoot your “screen flickering” issue but cannot replicate it so spend the afternoon “down the (covid) rabbit hole”
and who am I to take his life away? If the tide turns for the worse I will help him, if needed (and that will be excruciating).
