Scarver, I understand it can be difficult to "jump in" to an existing conversation - but the daily cafe & nightshift threads are for everyone, so next time you're online, take a deep breath and join in! I don't post much during the day, but am around most evenings (UK time), so I'll keep an eye out for you! Sometimes these threads can move a little fast too, but you'll soon get the hang of it - we were all new once, and I promise you chatting in this way gets easier!

Scarver, I do apologize if I hurt or offended you! I just wanted you to see how I felt about this! Everyone here is allowed their own choices and decisions and my post was never intended as a way to force you to feel bad or refund the donations. I just needed to know why you never ever ventured out!
I understand shyiness it took me the first 15 years to become the strong confident somewhat opinionated woman I am now! Far better then the past of hiding in a ciorner trying to be invisible. I am sorry you feel that you have been rejected in anyway! This site has peak visit times and down times. But the cafe and night shift are always open and welcoming! I hope to see you on the ns tonight so we can chat. And if someone is willing to post intimate issues they are not worried about the responses to them wether advice or ?'s for clarifcation!
Please forgive my harshness but I just felt That you were unwilling to interact!

Hi Scarver..please don't feel bad if people should happen to overlook or not respond to your posts at times. It happens to all of us. It's really difficult, even when one tries hard, to keep up with the fast pace and change of direction on this site. Between this and IMing with others, and trying to keep my mail inbox read and answered...there are often times I miss out on someone's post and have to answer to it much later. Sometimes they catch it and sometimes they don't but I've learned not to be hurt by anyone's missing or ignoring my comments. If I did think it was ever on purpose I couldn't stay here. We all get busy and the weekends are the slowest times where many members are off taking care of other things. I'm somewhat reserved and have found that sticking with this wonderful family community here has improved my ability to speak up. I've just had to learn how not to be over sensitive if someone happens to miss something I've said. :)
BTW...I also work extra hard at following as much as I possibly can so as to be of strong support to all the members who post here. Even on topics I'm not familiar with..I will read, listen, and try to contribute something in some way. Even if it's only a prayer or a congratulations.

I have to say lately it seems as though sometimes there are people who only respond to each other and do not take the time to respond to others so it may give the poster the impression that they are being ignored. I know it is hard to respond to everyone who is posting in a particular thread but it is nice to at least to have one person respond to what one is posting. Just keep trying and sometime you will be pleasantly surprised that someone acknowledges your comment.

Scarver, I want to ditto what Karen said. I'm only online during the week days, so I too miss alot of what goes on..please pop in on the other posts and just jump right in the conversation..None of these threads are private conversations, and we all love the great input we get from everyone being a part, that includes you..If I forgot to say it before...
Welcome to the TDK family! -
LadyValkyrie: Apology accepted. If your women enough to apologize, then I'm woman enough to accept. But I do have a question. If you weren't trying to hurt my feelings, then what was your intentions? You accused me of not trying to interact when indeed I have. You said I was rude and tried to make people feel guilty by some of my responses. And worst of all you said I was taking advantage of people. There is no need in rehashing this. I am 53 yrs. old, therefore been around long enough to know, no matter what I do or say, I can never please everyone. I have been totally honest about everything from the start. I did everything I knew to clarify my request. I gave my email address, pictures of Sarah, offered copies of the vet bill and gave the vet's info.. I tried to make conversation, I replied on some other posts all in an attempt to interact. I don't know what more I could of done? But just as in person, it takes time to get to know someone. This has been my very first time for ever being in a chat room of any kind. And unfortunately I did not have the time to get and know everyone first before I ask for help. It's all good though, no hard feelings. Let's just move on.

LV is not at home right now and won't see your post 'til later today. I love that you accepted the apology but hate the 'But'. This is how feelings and angry exchanges are kept going. I like your enthusiasm to fit in however..I have been into just about every topic in the discussion list here today and haven't found a post from you in any of them. At least nothing recent. I think that's what LV meant by your not trying to get to know anyone here. Hope I said that so as not to hurt feelings as it's not my intention at all. :)

Sarah is sleeping.:) That's pretty much all she dose. Except for when she is hungry. She eats good, most of the time, but she just don't gain weight. She never has been a big kitty though, but she did use to average 7 lbs. or so. Now she struggles to keep her weight at 5 lbs. or so. She really is a sweet kittie. Thank you for asking about her.

Sarah is a very pretty girl.
Scarver, have you tried nutrical? It is sold at most pet stores and it comes in a toothpaste-like tube. It is a high calorie nutritional supplement and it may give her an extra boost. I have used it many time with my senior kitties.Posted 3 years ago by Tigerlilly #

Karenopa: Don't worry about hurting my feelings right now. I don't think they could be any more hurt then what they already are. And no, I haven't replied to any posts today. Several reasons why. First, because I am very sad today, have been ever since yesterday afternoon. Second, I am concerned about what other members are thinking now. And, I have been asleep for a few hours, I don't feel well today at all. I have lots of days I don't feel good. Plus, I am not a big talker and I hope that will not be held against me. I have always been a loner, ever since I was a small child. I am very shy and "very" sensitive. Thanks for looking at Sarah's pictures.

But Scarver, that's the great thing about TDK chat! - you can just dip in and out, make the odd comment or stay and talk for hours - the choice is yours! C'mon, try the nightshift - there's a comfy cushion and an obliging cat just waiting for you...

Hi Scarver! I got your ecard - that was very sweet of you!
When I adopted my Milo he was sick and mal-nourished and the vet gave me Nutrical to feed him, also. I had to force-feed it to him because he refused to eat anything, but it sure did perk him up. Maybe it'll work for Sarah, as well.
I'm glad you found us and hope you stick around. The cafe is always nice and there are usually a bunch of people checking in there. Have a great day! -
Oh Scarver I understand about feeling blue and having your feelings hurt. It's easier to realize that someone here is not trying to hurt your feelings once you know them,it sure took me a while. Interact however much or little you're comfortable with. I've known LV for a while and I know that of the people here she is one of the most generous,helpful and compassionate.
This site and we as a community have been taken advantage of by other people who come to us with a fabricated story of a pet injured or sick just with the intention of getting us imbroiled into his care and not ending happily and it hurts and takes a toll.It's hard for us(I speak for myself only here) to sometimes tell the differnece when someone is new here.
Again,please don't take it personally.Hopefully you will lurk or take some time to get to know us and post again. We are a nice group of caring people. -
Hi Scarver, Sarah is beautiful. She brought tears to my eyes she looks just like my little Pretty Girl did and shes been gone nearly 30 years. My girls sent a friend invite. I don't tend to post much, I always seem to have time to get on when no one else is here so I don't always get response either. I do really enjoy it when I do hit it right and spend some time in a chat room usually night shift.

Thanks to all of you for your sweet comments about my little Sarah. She loves it when you tell her how beautiful she is.:) I have been away from the computer for several hours, but it looks like she has had several requests for friends, thanks. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow, more like talking.

I hope you feel better soon scarver :) I send positive thoughts your way and my kitties send purrs :)

Hi scarver! I just wanted to explain a little of what others have said and why
I haven't contributed. A few months back, I gave $25 to someone's chip-in site for her vet bills. I believe we helped her reach 100% of the bill and I haven't seen her on here since. I feel stupid and taken advantage of. I'm a single mother with kids, 7 cats and a dog, and $25 seems like a little bit and it's not like we did without food or anything, but I watch my pennies carefully and that stung. After that, I decided that I would not do the same thing unless it was a long-time established person of the community who was in need. This is NOTHING personal against you. I hope you understand. I hope you will hang around and get to know us.
