Ditto this, if nowhere closer is found.
2016 stinks.
Me, too. I’m probably the closest to her geographically- we both are on Long Island. I’ve two cats and a dog, so we’d have to see how another cat would integrate, but I’m a possibility.
I hope someone posts funeral arrangements.
2016 does indeed most profoundly suck.
Ruble - what’s that ritual again? I got a fire to light…
So very sorry to hear this.
Hadn’t heard anything from Rosie lately and didn’t even know she was in hospital.
Miss you rosie 
'Nanner bread bakeage is underway.
rosie’s passing is a real slap of reality. You expect the elderly to die, and while it’s sad, it’s not the same as when a contemporary dies. Especially someone younger. Even tho we never met or even spoke, she was still a part of my life - of our lives. It hurts to lose any part.
Home from the birthday soiree. The kiddies had horseback rides and had a ball! Much hilarity and cheerin’ on of kiddies on horseback ensued. However, we are glad to be back in da cave. 'Tis gloomy and dreary out.
**swampy **- in the interest of education, a soiree is a social event that takes place in the evening. From the French soir, meaning evening. An afternoon birthday party for a child is more correctly called pandemonium. 
You’re welcome.
The house is smelling nanner-licious!! **FCD **is still snoozing. I should wake him so he’s not up all night… shouldn’t I?
'Nanner bread is done and cooling. The dishwasher is loaded and washing. **FCD **was getting up just when I went to wake him.
Taz is being a brat - he’s currently peering at me from atop the hutch.
Oh, and my laptop is working again. Maybe it was an issue with the extension cord? The battery light is orange - I’m assuming that means it’s charging. Or it’s dead and I’m operating just on wall power. Which is fine. I need to check Lenovo’s site.
I’m so sad about Rosie. Seemed like she was recovering, her disability pay was on its way. It is hard to believe that the non-elderly can die of pneumonia.
I will miss her cheerfulness in the face of adversity. RIP, Rosie. You was good people.
Ham is all done and sliced. Sweet and unsweet tea has been made. That’s enough doin’ for one day I say. I am the non cannibal kind of Lector for the first lesson tomorrow but the lesson was not sent to me. Fortunately bein’ the good Whiskypalian that I am, I looked it up in the Revised Common Lectionary. [sup]TM[/sup]. 'Tis a passage from Isaiah, chapter 10 verses 1-11. A very nice passage to read. I shall leave it up to the curious to look it up. Remember, Google is our friend.
WetOne rosie was indeed good people.
It’s been a sleepy day.
I didn’t wake up until almost 11,then a nap after getting the groceries. The dog, cat, and kid have been sleeping all day as well. I’m supposed to make tacos for him, but since he is sleeping I’ll leave it to later.
I’ve started making a rag rug out of grocery bags. It’s going to be mostly pink and white with a little blue, yellow, and black. It’s random, whatever color I grab goes where ever it goes.
I’m not sure where I’m going to put it, that will be random too.
I know what you mean FCM, I am having a hard time wrapping my head around Rosie passing away. You get used to somebody being around and you think they will always be there. She was younger than I am, it’s surreal.
Have a nice time in Hawaii Sunny. Enjoy the warm weather.
Cat quite often pats my knee, with the claws out to get my attention. This morning he sunk one paw in, and was starting to rake down while getting ready to claw me with the other paw. I wish he’d just jump up next to me instead of expecting me to scooch to the edge of the couch and bend over to pet him.
Possible names are Moocher, Mellow, or Teddy. Or maybe Simon, he kind of looks like a Simon. One of my friends had a cat named Mellow, but he was sort of a yellow color.
I’m so sad about rosie. :: sigh ::
To whoever asked upthread: it’s fine to cry for people you’ve never met.
I haven’t been around the MMP for a while, but I still know many of the people here better than some people I experience every day in 3D.
Hugs all around.

Oh, no! I am just stunned to hear about Rosie. I was really hoping for an update that she was doing better. She will definitely be missed.
I’m so surprised and saddened by rosie’s passing. Just when things were beginning to look up.
I got the clothesline and fire extinguisher and installed the clothesline, alont with a couple of hooks in the studio. The bed was stripped, a load of sheets done, the tub cleaned and supper made. I’s tahred.
rosie’s sig to all.
Since 2016 sucked a LOT, I’ve decided to hold a funeral for it. I’m going to burn my calendar on Facebook Live on New Year’s Eve. Y’all are welcome to join me.
Fucking 2016. It should just be erased, and history should just go from 2015 to 2017.
Been a long and sad day. I shall now join OYKW in the boudoir to watch teevee until sleepy time. I have a feelin’ sleepy time will be soonish.
Rockin’ I agree with your post one hunnert bazillion percent!
So sad about rosie. I had another friend years ago, about her age who was in the hospital for what seemed a minor illness, went to visit her one afternoon and she was active and looking forward to getting home…and found out that she died the next day. We never know how much time we have on this pale blue dot; always try to live up to your goals, because you never know…
Helped with the indoor soccer for 4 hours today, and managed to trip on a soccer ball and land on the hardwood floor with my knee, which is achin’ and painin’ something fierce. Will apply ben Gay this evening and see how it’s doing tomorrow.
