Well that certainly explains the F-up. > [@JaneDoe42](#): > > look up the show Green Acres > [@JaneDoe42](#): > > I’m not ready to fall in love with a cat who won’t live but a few more years My daughter certainly understands. She adopted Dakota in May 2014 and was told that she was 5-7; Dakota went seriously downhill starting in Aug 2017, went into the animal hospital in late Sept and the vet said that Dakota appeared to be 14 then Laps of Love came third week of Oct. So, when daughter was ready in early 2018 to adopt another dog, one of her criteria was that it needed to be no older than 3 (for real). Bella was just shy of 2 when she was adopted. Well I’ve read about another 70 of the posts from Alexa mmp, only 70 more to go. Here are a few comments (you may question my concept of ‘a few’): > [@(Old) Alexa, start the MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-alexa-start-the-mmp/1013150/376): > > Another reading story. Oh no **Baker** , I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope you weren’t too traumatized. > [@(Old) Alexa, start the MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-alexa-start-the-mmp/1013150/381): > > Yes, and I’ll be calling them on Monday.

Part of that for me is that I’ll stay up almost all night reading a great book that I find it very difficult to put it down. > [@(Old) Alexa, start the MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-alexa-start-the-mmp/1013150/395): > > I am trying to keep a balance of being informed and maintaining sanity Me too. I used to watch a real lot of MSNBC. Now I’m down to just Rachel and Lawrence. Hubs likes to put on Velshi on Sat/Sun so sometimes I see some of that. Oh and I like Jen Psaki a lot too. > [@(Old) Alexa, start the MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-alexa-start-the-mmp/1013150/407): > > Does anyone remember bookmobiles? Yes, I went to a Catholic school grades 1-6 and there wasn’t a school library. However, the public bookmobile came every few weeks and I always checked out the limit of books allowed. I also loved a bus full of books! > [@(Old) Alexa, start the MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-alexa-start-the-mmp/1013150/407): > > It was pretty amazing to be honest. He was telling me how much better he was feeling even before getting unhooked from everything. Today he said that even though he hurts all over (to be expected), he feels better than he has for at least a year. I am so glad that the surgery is a success! Yay for Hubs! I also understand about monitoring/nagging about the restrictions. Hubs is under certain restrictions for another year, well 11-1/2 months as long as his recovery continues to progress. After his blood draw this morning, he went out for brunch then ran a few errands. When he got home, he was very excited to show me some of the results of the blood draw. His platelets are up to 200. The low end of the acceptable range for men is 150. Before his transplant at his lowest they were down to somewhere in the 20’s range, IIRC, I don’t think they went down into the teens but maybe I’m blocking a bad memory. > [@(Old) Alexa, start the MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-alexa-start-the-mmp/1013150/410): > > I gotta _respect_ folks who can hold to that dietary restriction. They don’t know what they are missing! ok, going to start prepping dinner, chicken tacos (soft flour tortillas, 3 colors of sauteed bell peppers-NO green, sauteed onions, avocado, mushrooms, cuke coins, cheddar cheese) --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-the-mmp-is-the-place-to-be/1013472)._
