And some beers!!
Har de har har.
What are mozzies and moxo? I know about Calici because cats get it from rabbits, but that’s not deadly. In cats, I mean. It lowers their immune systems, and makes it easier for them to die from other diseases, but its not fatal by itself.
More supportive hugs to you.
So, I’m going back to Az tonight. I need to say goodbye to my best friend’s husband. This really bites. He’s a wonderful person, generous and kind and funny. He was proud to be a Marine, and is dieing from Agent Orange caused cancer. I’m crying now. I won’t cry when I’m with them, unless they start it first.
Mozzies = slang for cats
Myxo = short for myxomatosis, a disease that kills rabbits and was brought to Australia in an attempt to kill the invasive wild rabbits there. It’s basically endemic in much of the UK, Europe, and Australia. The vaccine isn’t allowed in Australia because they’re worried about unfixed domestic vaccinated rabbits getting out and wreaking havoc or something. Fortunately we’re (knock wood) still OK in the US.
I’m sorry about all your troubles, madrabbitwoman. You tried with this bun, really.
Condolences to you too, flatlined, and others who are hurting or angry tonight.
Ugh, no! That’s “moggies”; “mozzies” = mosquitoes, which are one of the vectors for myxomatosis. :smack:
Thank you for explaining things. I can now understand why madrabbitwoman is so upset. I’d be crying too if I had fostered a kitten that I knew would be let outside to be coyote bait.
I’m thinking about being sorry that my anger showed about my friends. But, I’m really not. Up until around 10 years ago, Agent Orange was not a recognized problem by the Veteran’s Admin and hospitals.
I will be supportive and do what I can, but my best friend’s husband is dieing and he wanted his family and friends to come now. Before all we can do is sit around the bed and watch him in a drugged sleep as he dies. This really bites.
About 8 years ago I was introduced to a man who became my mentor in certain subjects for about 2 years. He lived cross country, so we never met. I had never seen a picture of him. I had only spoken to him a handful of times when I had a really strange dream. There was a great deal of oddness in the dream, but at one point, I walked past a mirror and the reflection was not mine. I had never, ever had a dream like that before.
The next day I’m talking to him and I mention this strange dream and the reflection of another man. The image was burned into my brain so I was able to describe this man very well.
Him: That’s me. In fact, I’d say it’s a really good description of me.
Me: There was one more thing. I saw a red aura over his chest.
Him: I’ve been battling a lung infection for a couple of weeks. I’m on antibiotics for it.
Me: :eek:
He emailed me a picture of himself. He definitely was the man in the mirror.
Wednesday night in my dreams, I was standing before a mirror. The reflection in the mirror was not me…
Hopes that your dream was just a random thing.

So bunny is gone. Bunny owners got a verbal and written lecture. I am choosing to hope for the best. I have however asked them not to tell me when the rabbit dies. I don’t want to know
I belong to a group that includes singers and orchestra. Last night, the orchestra had rehearsal, and the singers had a concert. I wanted to go to the singers’ concert, but I was supposed to go to rehearsal instead, so I went to the rehearsal.
However, now I discovered that one of the orchestra members went to the concert instead. Skipped rehearsal and went to the fucking concert. Hell, if I’d known that we’d be ALLOWED to BLOW OFF rehearsal and go to the fucking concert, I’d have done it too.
This makes me so angry! :mad:
Sounds like it’s time for another “Very Vaguely Creepy” thread.
Wait, I would have thought it pretty self-evident that if your group is scheduled to perform at a concert, you show up and perform at the concert.
What are you going to do the next time the orchestra is scheduled to perform on a singing rehearsal date?
Sorry, I want to be supportive of a fellow Doper, but this is just too confusing for me.
I think she’s a member of the orchestra, not the singers. The concert was something she wanted to watch, not perform in.
So, uh, was the pic taken on grass to make the term “daisy chain” come to mind more easily?
I must say hanging around you guys has managed to fill my brain with more filthy vocabulary than High School ever did, despite Dad’s protestations that he “sent [me] to the Jesuits to learn, but not filthy words!”
Ever had an ice bath? They suck.
Crap. My windshield cracked from side-to-side on the way home last night, and the shop isn’t open until Monday. I mean, they come to me, but even so, that’s annoying.
I have a sinus infection trying to start. I also have a UTI trying to start. My period decided that while all this was going on, it might as well go ahead and start. :mad:
commiseration high five I hurt myself in at least three places today. One thing hurting is bad enough, but multiple health problems at once… ugh.
Right now I am extraordinarily angry at bigots who claim they disapprove of the ‘‘gay lifestyle’’ out of love. You obviously have no idea what the fuck ‘‘love’’ means, so stop pretending you do. I fucking hate you so much right now. Get the fuck out of my country, you’re not an American, you’re barely a person. I’m so tired of your ignorant bullshit, and I’m so tired of forcing myself to try to understand you, because I don’t WANT to understand you, at this point I don’t even care about educating you, I just want you to go away.
