Wow, I hardly recognize anyone. Is BlondieK143 still on the lam?

[iconoclastic cat]

So many people have changed names or left, I have no idea who's around anymore.

Bouncy Ball? Nowhere to be seen.

I did see GreatAuntofTriplets here tonight. And ET Awful is always in attendance. rbnyc is rockin' out.

Okay, so most people are around. It's been me that's been out of the loop.

Well, hello to everyone. I wish I had more to say.

[JohnKleeb]

1. She texted me over new years

Havent seen her, sorry.

[iconoclastic cat]

4. Ah, I just miss her wit.

She's quite a character. Never met her personally--that would be problematic. Attention/jealosy issues around these parts.

[JohnKleeb]

5. Met her once during that big Boston meetup

She was cool, wonder whats keeping her busy.

[New Earth]

7. where were YOU for so long?

:shrug: :hi:

[JohnKleeb]

8. School

I had no idea how interesting US history could be honestly.

[GalleryGod]

25. Thanks John. We try to do our best.

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. Hello iconoclastic cat!

I am still here. Good to see you again. What's been going on?

[iconoclastic cat]

9. Lots.

I quit teaching for good and found a great job in September. My daughter (Ana) was born a few weeks after that.


We bought a condo in October.

My favorite, most beloved cat ever died 3/6 after a long illness.


And now I'm here, trying to figure out my life.

How's by you?

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. Your daughter is so beautiful!!

And my heart is breaking over the loss of your cat. Zooey could be Merlin's twin. :cry:

Things are okay here. Dealing with an aging grandmother and just "stuff"...it was a bad week, but a lot of DUers helped me feel better. Hug that adorable girl for me. She has such an alert look on her face. Like, "How dare you startle melike that, Daddy!" :hi:

[iconoclastic cat]

13. Thanks--Ana's a gorgeous creature all right.

She actually sat up on her own today. I was glad I got to see that.

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. It is truly wonderful the moments you get to share in their milestones...

Here is a picture of Merlin. I have on of him in a box looking just like your Zooey, but it isn't linked:

[iconoclastic cat]

15. Definitely a striking resemblance.

I keep thinking I see her out of the corner of my eye. I think I always will.

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. My neighbor just lost her Great Pyr/Retreiver mix and swears she seems

him every morning laying his head on the foot of her bed. :( I hate it when these trusting wonderful souls leave us. :hug:

[iconoclastic cat]

18. I just wish I hadn't dragged it out looking for a cure to a 100% fatal

disease. She was very uncomfortable, all due to my inability to let go.

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. But, what you have to remember is...you gave her a GOOD life...she's

not in pain now, and you got to say goodbye. Don't dwell on what you think you should have done. Dwell on all you were to each other. I keep looking at her picture and getting teary. I am so sorry.

[iconoclastic cat]

21. That was literally 24 hours before she died.

She went downhill so quickly from that point. Lost all muscle control.

But you're right. She was the most pampered and loved cat ever.

[EstimatedProphet]

3. So, where have you been?

You gotta remember me from that thing that we did with that guy in that place that time...

[iconoclastic cat]

10. Shhhhh!

[Random_Australian]

6. HI there! I'm certainly new, joined 28 Jan this year...

How are you? :hi:

[iconoclastic cat]

11. Conflicted. Nervous. Uncomfortable.

Welcome!

[DS1]

17. Blondie in the middle

[iconoclastic cat]

19. Yep! That'd be her. I wonder if culinary school actually happened.

[greatauntoftriplets]

22. I am here!!!!

Though wasn't for a bit since my DSL crashed for a week. :(

:hi:

[Briarius]

23. Talked to Blondie a month or two ago

she's been crazy working and such, not around here much if at all.
Welcome back! :toast:

[yewberry]

24. BB was posting last week

in the v/v/ar forum. She sounds like she's doing well, just very busy with school.
