I don't know if anyone remembers my colorful birthday calendar (that looks mighty-fine when the pages are attached to each other and then laminated!)but I'll start another thread asking people for their birthdays. I still have my original, so it will be easy to just add names to it. Sorry we missed your birthday, AB! I don't know where my copy is at work, so I haven't looked at it for ages. I guess, like many people, that I began to count on others to start a birthday thread if it was warranted. I have to be careful about posting from school, so I usually get a chance to post only during lunch. I figure they can't get too upset about it (if they catch me!) if it's during my lunch break.

Psssstttt....
Don't tell Alicia I told you this, but we're having our 20th Anniversary March 18th. We're going to Vegas, so we won't even be here on TDK to celebrate.
*pout*
But don't tell her I told you.
LOL

GD, that is a good idea about putting a card in your wallet. I will put one in my purse as well. This way they at least know I have two very scared and hungry cats wondering where I am if anything were to happen to me, God forbid.

UD, you are so correct. It IS a bit like high school with people leaving because they got their nose a bit out of joint. I don't know about you, but high school was a LONG time ago for me. Resiliency is the key! And that is what most of us have. Life is not perfect and people disagree. But that doesn't mean that you drop out of life. How foolish would that be????

I haven't been around as much as I would like. I lurk a lot, but with some of the things I have been going through, I've been much quieter than normal. I am still here though, and I am still praying for those that need prayer. I am just feeling kind of quiet lately. Maybe I wore myself out with the Why, oh why thread. *giggles*
I have noticed a lot more tension in some people around here, but I choose not to get involved. It really bothers me when people decide to leave just because, as WWM said, they get their nose a bit out of joint. I agree - high school was a long time ago and people need to learn that not everybody is going to agree with them. We have to accept that people have different ideas and opinions instead of leaving because somebody doesn't agree with us or get along with us.
*shrugs*
I didn't intend to get up on a soap box. *sighs*
I better get back to my math homework now.

Aww, Mollycat, I will be your buddy! We practically share the same birthday - mine is March 17 - and we ive in the same area (I am in West Michigan) I don't have a TDK buddy either, although I do have written instructions with my will that tell my family to contact TDK if something should happen to me. I'm going to use GD's wallet idea too, I'll put it right next to my insurance card. My email is jebyl at comcast dot net

Hey All, I didn't post earlier to point fingers or accuse y'all of not missing me. I too feel invisible on this site from time to time. I am also guilty of trying not to jump in the fray when it gets unfluffy. I just don't understand what happened and why some of the old timers are dropping out. For goodness sake, I made the sojourn to Chester's Place in NC to see where our money was supporting a no kil shelter for cats and kittens in honor of our friend Jerry. Does anyone out there remember Chester/Jerry posting on the night he passed away from us? I do. Do y'all remember when LV wished and wished for Max Max? Do y'all remember when Joan lost Shaddo or when Bobby was so sick from tainted cat food? Remember Mui's list of baby names for AbbieFish? For those "old timers" out there that might be lurking, "I miss y'all and think of y'all often." As I said earlier, TDK is in my daily prayers and I wish the best for all of you that are in pain, are lonely, are dealing with grief, or are just overwhelmed. I wish you all happiness from the bottom of my heart. I'm not going anywhere, I am in the background. I'll be 50 on Saturday and I know what it's like to be part of the invisible crowd outside of the cyber space world.

I remember lots of that, TF. I wasn't here when Jerry was here but I know that I would have thought the world of him.
50, huh? You're just a baby!!! Don't let it get you down because it honestly is just a number. And not even a very big number!

I remember those things, too - I think I came in right about the time of Jerry's passing. In fact that was the thing that really drew me in, the whole Chester's Place thing. I could see what a great group of people TDK was.
I can't say anything about the big 5-0, since I will be there in just a few years myself.

SOM my email is UDgirl@live.com. I have a BUDDY! *pounce*

I don't post as often here as some, but no one has ever made me feel unwelcome. As for Drama? I've seen plenty of drama on other forums of various topics. Sometimes I even started it, or at least helped to continue it beyond all reasonable length. Beleive me when I say that compared to some sites, the drama on TDK is a Sunday walk in the park. (I don't want to tell you how the one political forum I'm still a member of has utterly exploded into name calling and personal attacks.)
And also there is a sense of community here, solidarity. That's a theory that's *supposed* to be true of net forums generally; here it actually is. I still remember how we all pulled together when we lost Renee, and all the lovely little meetups which, sadly, I've been unable to partake of so far.
All of which is to say, TDK is a nice place.

LTNS Arcalian :) Glad to see that you are ok. Hope that you are doing well and have found a job to suit you.

UDGirl/Soxsmom: Thank you. The right thing to say, me? Well, if so, only through learning the hard way what the wrong thing to say is. That's a litany I wouldn't care to repeat.
Azdebra: Oh, I'm still here. I post FUZZ comments most days on the kitty, and pop into the forums occasionally. No job yet but thank god for my roommate, and Christmas Money. Well, I do have *a* job, of sorts, but it isn't even part time and it won't pay the bills. However, roomie does have A Cunning Plan.

I've been thinking about this disturbance in the Force (Star Wars reference) for several hours. There is a lot of stress out there in real life and not much good news out there for the immediate future. Lots of TDKers are facing loss of jobs and health benefits, retirement funds that are shrinking, illness and loss. It makes it all the more important to be supportive of each other. I guess I'm an "old timer." I don't think that gives me any more status than the newest person here. I just have some institutional memory which is sometimes useful. Old timers and newbies and everyone in between need to keep TDK a place where we can come to share our joys, sorrows and silliness. Let us be gentle with one another, please.
Thanks for the reassurance, Arcalian, that TDK is still one of the fluffiest places on the internet! :)

TF, truly 50 is nothing, I thought it would be a big deal almost 5 years ago but it has been a bit freeing of the spirit really. Yes I do remember Jerry and his posting(s), and all the other events you mentioned. This tired furbaby lover needs to sleep, so I will go off now and wish everyone a peaceful night with only good thoughts and dreams....scritches to all those furry ones out there, so until tomorrow evening Ciao.

Arcalian, bless good roommates, Christmas money and Cunning Plans! It is good to see you my friend, I have seen your posts on the kitty ~ they are always a welcome sight that bring smiles.

TF I remember Jerry. I cherished his talks. He and Instinct shared so much and the two of them taught me more valuable lessons than I can ever repay. I was in a bad place and to read the banter between those two made my day so much better. I miss so many that have gone. CatRancher is the bar still open--it is the place to be sometimes!

The bar is always open Soxsmom...always...and "attitudes" are welcome! You can cry in your beer, play some darts, or tell dirty jokes...it's all good. The bartender always listens (he's paid to) and he's a lot cheaper than a therapist...

TF, I think I came right after Jerry's passing or didn't get to know him. :(
Having just turned a young '70' last year, I am hear to tell ya, life just keeps on getting better and better!!! CR, I'll be seeing you at the bar, I am partial to double straight up vodka martinis w/anchovie olives. Ciao!Posted 3 years ago by SammyandOliversmama #
