sympathy like.. tons of losses lately.. Id say this is the most annoying year ever.Sorry for what is going to be a bit of a sad post, gang, but our beloved little cat, Spooky, passed away late Sunday night due to a sudden blood clot. We rushed him to an all night emergency pet hospital and they said it was basically inoperable and told us we needed to put him to sleep. His entire back half was paralyzed due to the clot and he was in terrible pain.
The rational part of my brain keeps saying that it was just a cat, it was just a cat, but the rest of my brain is wrecked. Spooky was part of the family, and was a wonderful friend. I can't believe he is gone.
This life is one wild ride, isn't it?

I wish I could like this a bizillion percent. We didn't have time to get a Margarita, in UNI, son in law was driving, it was hot; and he was in a hurry to get to the car. Maybe this time in October. Just hubby and I, I plan to take a cab. I would use uber, but hubby is very stubborn about that.
Sorry to hear this Buddy but now I have that song "Spooky" stuck in my head.Sorry for what is going to be a bit of a sad post, gang, but our beloved little cat, Spooky, passed away late Sunday night due to a sudden blood clot.

very expensive flights if I didnt take the week, plus need at least 3 days for my doctor appointment/review.
Yea, well the thing is that my family keeps asking me when I'm going to get rid of it. It's only 11 years old and it is a very luxurious car, that still looks like new. The problem is that it costs a fortune to repair anything on a Cadillac and, I suspect, that the true permanent repair for this problem will be in the range of 3 grand. (head gasket). It is dangerously close to costing more to keep on the road then to just pay for a newer one. I'm going to start looking, but, since I don't have any big trips planned in the foreseeable future, I can take my time. This is the first time, in about 20+ road trips that it has actually broken down in route. It's usually just before or just after. Just another thing for a retired person to spend his limited funds on. I think my kids are worried that I am going to spend all their inheritance whereas I am worried that I am not, so there is that conflict.
My brother drove up here from his home in N.C. for Christmas. His car broke down on the drive back home (he left late afternoon on Christmas, and had car issues a few states down later that night). However, due to the holiday and late evening hours at that point, nothing was open. Somehow he managed to limp it along to a service station, (closed), and slept in the driver's seat for the rest of the night, until the owner came to open up the station in the morning. Got the car repaired, and he continued back home.
