What Are You Thinking Of Right Now?

I'm thinking I wish I had something I could say that would make TWT feel better. I've spent countless days, weeks, months being injured and immobile, and it has never ever even remotely helped improve my mood at all. I'm sorry 🙁

Max will get the best of everything for as long as he's with us. He has multiple health issues now, but we're managing them the best we can. I take him in for monthly injections of monoclonal antibodies. They made a big difference at first, and gave him 3-4 weeks of relief (we can tell based on whether he's able to get up onto the bed or couch, or not)... now they only give him 4-5 days relief. I help him into the car (he loves to go for a ride) and we've had to shorten up his morning walks. He's been a one in a million dog... so smart, so sweet, so totally chill. All he ever wants is to be with me. Hopefully we have some quality time left... but I will NOT let him suffer! I owe him that.
Every time I think about the end, I get this strange liquid in my eyes. : |

I am wishing both Max and you the best and he is such a handsome Lab!

He reminds me of my previous boy Samson

Our Lab turned 14 last month and is on Librela (which has helped greatly) and 3 pain meds plus a supplement to help her but unfortunately she is having more bad days.
 
I'm thinking of what the hell I'm going to say at the Memorial for my "complicated" friend Jim.

He died unexpectedly a few days ago while I was visiting the niece and nephew in Austin.

They had met him in March 2020 on our Coronavirus Road Trip to deliver my wife's TSX to my bother in Miami.

Being chased cross country by 'Rona made for quite the memorable trip.

No signs of heart problems that he ever mentioned and we had ridden 20 miles on e'bicycles a week before he died suddenly of a massive heart attack at age 72.

His parents lived into their 80s.

I think I'll just talk about how much fun we had on the road trip and leave out any mention of his "complications" related to jettisoning a bunch of friends after they flew to NOLA for his daughter's wedding.

My wife being one of them.

His daughters, who I consider family had been told a year ago their Mom had a terminal lung issue and would be gone in less than five years.

I'm going to cry giving that speech, mainly for their sorrows, but gotta do it.
 
i’m thinking it looks like we’re fixin’ to have us a good ‘ol fashion range war. of sorts. i’ve heard the 1850’s were wild around here. you don’t say. time flies. it also stands still.
 
I think work was intense yesterday while assessing a 15 yr old psychopath.
He gave me the heeby jeebies.

I normally do not respond in this thread ( history,Am I right?) but…

Only way to do business with husband wife is with a iron clad contract making them one, otherwise you are effed with no physical pleasure.
 
Elder prison… I know in advance I will regret these thoughts and resentments.

Thanks. Wait till you hear this story. It's off the hook. Try to help someone with lesser means and they try to set a trap, get busted and blow their entire chance at economic independence completely apart. Unreal.
 
you know, it's not until you're in front of the judge and hear the fine that you realize that being unemployed and disabled and getting neither unemployment or disability, that you realize the fine is all you have in your checking account so you won't make rent, so you could be out or doors, that you start hoping for the mercy of the court.
 
I wonder where the Catholic Church will go now that the progressive Pope has passed.

I imagine like many other things, they will swing back even further towards the conservative side in an overcorrection
 
I’m thinking, h came in last night and snuggled up to me. The animals have been acting a little off, what’s up?

Personally, I gave up on Catholicism decades ago. That was when I figured out that the hierarchy of the church didn't appreciate the parishioners. To them, nuns-priests-bishops and cardinals. . . we are chattel.

Not once have I regretted leaving.

Where are they going? On the road to catch up if they care about empty pews.
