How 'bout it. A town up here is loading semi's with donated diapers and baby needs for Texas organized by the county leaders.

Our cluster of towns is loading relief supplies for younger kids. Board games, cars, trucks, dolls, bats, balls, footballs you name it.
So much stuff lost and too many kids in shelters without lots to occupy themselves. The semi is loaded. Time well spent by many.

There is a semi truck stopping at our on Sunday morning to collect donations to take to Texas. When hubby emailed the congregation about it he got lots of calls and texts with people from our congregation and others that were leaving for the weekend and wanted to drop stuff off yesterday afternoon. It was really heart warming because for the last few weeks our church has been gathering supplies to send to a Reservation in South Dakota where our youth & adults have been doing mission work the last 3 summers and that has gotten a lot of donations as well. But it was nice to see that people around here didn't balk at being asked to give more, they just do it willingly.

Hugs . . . I can really empathize with you. My previous dog (before Jack) was my little soulmate. She was an angel sent from God, and I truly believe that. It took me over a year to stop grieving in a big way; truth be told, I don't think I'll ever get over the loss of her, but time helps to move her out of the forefront of my mind. That's the best I can hope for you and Walt.

That's how I felt about losing my Henry. If we didn't already have Kapono there would have been no other dog in our immediate future. In a way it helped already having Kapono when Henry passed because she idolized him so much and I think she tried to do things like him that we still see a lot of Henry in her.

@donaldtoo , I know you're working away at ketchup here, but if you happen to see this tag on time, I just wanted to let you know that @ajrwdwgirl is having a delicious smoked brisket holiday meal this weekend. (Her hubs is a great outdoor chef.) She's making mac and cheese to go along with it. :hungry:

I just had to share my excitement! :hilarious: (Hoping she's going to post some pictures of the meal, so that everyone can grab a hunk of meat out of the computer screen!) ;) :happy:

I will share some pictures. He does a brisket really well, he is going to try to smoke chicken wings too. All the smoking action will happen on Monday. I wish we could share with everyone here.

I'm out.
Those of you here who still can't grow up and have some self control, please figure it out, please.
It's not difficult. Get a grip...

Well, Donald.. the Chit Chat tread is about discussion of whatever seems to be the topic of the day. I know that I am one of the ones that you are referring to and frankly I don't care if you think it is wrong. You have the power to skip over the sections that you personally find offensive, just as I do. You don't think it should be there, that doesn't mean it doesn't have a place in any chit chat type of discussion. Even everyones favorite Walt Disney movies had a dark section in them. It's part of being human to vent, especially when they think it is a safe place to do so. None of these things last a long time, before moving on, and life isn't all sugar castles. So in your own words... have some self control, please figure it out. It's not difficult. Get a grip!

Way too fresh for us. We both having crying spells which is probably stupid to some, but it has been only 3 months today. We have been able to look at kitties at pet stores now so that is getting better. :)
Click to expand...
No I understand...I had those spells for months after having our dog put to sleep. Every time I'd see something about pets, I'd start bawling. We lost him about 2 weeks before my mom died, so I was a MESS for a while. He was 17 and was miserable....incontinence, a huge tumor, mobility problems...my mom had him put down when he wasn't able to make it to the door to go outside to the bathroom. She was so sick herself that she couldn't take care of him and my brother and I both lived 4 hours away. I hated it, but we really couldn't let him suffer anymore. I'm glad you can look at pet stores at least.

She meowed like, ""I though I'd never get out!" I picked her up and hugged her because I had been so worried, and she took it, purring at me. Then she went to bother Belle.

I've had my cats get stuck in closets before (Belle will routinely get herself stuck in the pantry). Moxie, my tabby, used to sneak outside, and we'd suddenly wonder where he was, and we'd find him laying on the driveway like, "I was wondering when you were going to come get me." But I've never had one that got stuck overnight. At she didn't have any accidents in the closet. Thank goodness.

I was pet-sitting for a friend of mine in high school. They had a whole menagerie. A cat, 2 turtles, a hermit crab, some fish I think...I don't even remember all of them. But I'd go every day and the cat's bowl was still full and I hadn't seen the cat anywhere. This was a HUGE fat cat...hard to miss. After about a week of the full bowl, I went looking. The family had closed every door in the house before they left....the cat had apparently gone into one of the rooms and was under the bed. I opened the door and it made a beeline for its dish. I felt sooooo bad that I hadn't gone looking before. I mean, it wasn't my fault, I wasn't the one who closed the doors or anything, but the poor thing must have been STARVING.

Yes, Isn't it amazing, still after all this time, it's amazing how many "adults" :rolleyes: here still have no self control to adhere to the rules of the thread/forums...?!?!?!?!?!?! :cyclops:
Certain members here had a whole discussion that had no place on this thread about selfcontrol of children, but, yet they couldn't control themselves. :rolleyes: None of them seem to be able to practice what they preach.
For some reason, they chose to carry it out here, instead of a more appropriate place where they could duke it out, and the rest if if us in what's supposed to be be our happy thread would't have to put up with it
Good Lord, what happened to a pretty fun thread...?!?!?
It doesn't hafta' be benign, but, good Lord people, keep your political, and social stuff off of THIS a thread.

Or, if you you still don't get it by now, go get a checkup from the neck up...

Actually, I checked the rules, and only politics and religion were mentioned as taboo. The conversation you are upset about does not fit into either of those categories. LOTS of things are social issues... Hurricane Harvey relief is a social issue. Autism is a social issue. A lot of members here have things going on in their lives for which they need a support system, and if we aren't allowed to talk about those things, we might as well not have a thread at all. I'm sorry you don't like the discussion, but it does not violate the rules. You do not have to participate if you don't like that particular topic.

We saw the CUTEST dogs on the planet today. DD and I had to take back a pair of jogging pants to Primark (the hanger said they were extra small...they were apparently on the wrong hanger and we hadn't bothered to check, they were medium.) So we were walking through the city shopping district and there was this elderly couple with 2 little dogs in a baby stroller and one on a leash and I swear to you I have never seen cuter dogs. DD ran after them to ask if she could pet them, and while she was petting the ones in the stroller, the one on the leash jumped up like "ME TOO!!" so she knelt down to pet her and the dog jumped right in her lap and gave her kisses. Made DD's day. They were just these tiny little furballs!

Actually, yet again, there is an ENTIRE forum for you people to chat about your dress codes and otherwise social issues and political gripes.
That crap just drags this whole thread down, and you all know it.
And, you're all old enough to know the difference. You just choose to air it here instead. As far as the rules go, do you not just have any simple decorum not to air all your here?
And, Grumpyernmost, I'm fully aware life isn't all full of happy happy joy joy. You have no clue what my family is going through right now, I just choose not to air it here.
Life happens, and stuff is discussed about those things here. But, if you are adult enough to even have an inkling that what you are about to post might cause an issue, don't go there. What's so difficult about that?!?!?!
We all tease each other in good-natured ways, and we all recognize that, and it's part of the fun here. There are just certain things that I have no clue why some people choose to duke it out over, here. It just makes no sense to me.
The mods may as well just change it to the "Argue Amongst Yourselves Thread" at this point.
Get your own darn grip there, sport.
Again, simple self control and decorum seems to be as long-gone as common sense.
Sad times...
