I'm coming here for advice/support, don't know where to turn
14 years ago I adopted 3 kittens - really adorable little fellers/gal who grew up to be great friends and frenimies.
Broccoli, Gus and Violet. Broccoli and Gus became best buddies - Broccoli would harass Violet and Gus would protect her honor.
It came to pass that about 3 years ago Gus developed diabetes and I've been medicating him every day since. Their meals centered around his meds. Broccoli, the scamp and harasser, Violet, shy, therefore her name and Gus, the most lovable cat there ever was - a great confidante and emotional support guy, actually checking on people's breathing while they slept - the favorite of the grand kids.
Tragically, Gus succumbed to a huge blood clot in his aorta yesterday morning. I was able to be with him stroking his cheek and holding his paw as he slipped away at the emergency vet.. I'm totally heartbroken and have randomly broken out into tears an sobs throughout the day today.
But this is not the advice I seek.
Broccoli has taken up camp in my bed and will not come downstairs. I think he's in mourning.
What can I do to ameliorate his pain? In all these years he has never spent a day without his brother Gus.
My heart is now twice broken.
I'll entertain any suggestions.
Thanks
They are in extreme panic distraction mode
Do not succumb.
EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN!!!
Let them throw all the shit they want at the wall - just remember:
EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN is just the tip of the iceberg.
Donny did not rape pubescent girls while performing "official acts."
He's criminally liable.
Shame Magats who defend him or any of his henchmen.
I have a question - it's sincere and I'd appreciate thoughful answers- no snark
Do you think if the remaining hostages in Gaza were returned to Israel in a respectful way that it would allow for Israel to withdraw while saving face? Do you think it will further the peace process? Isn't that the main concern of the Israeli government? Apparently keeping them is not helping their cause.
JULY 4, 2025 should be the beginning of the
Take America Back movement - a day of Patriotism for real Americans.
It's OUR day not stinkin' magats'.
NO KINGS day for us.
Every day I say that things can't get any worse
And every day things get worse!
It started with the pandemic, I think - no, it was always there
We did have a bit of relief at times
But then things got worse.
Every day I come here hoping for some reprieve - some good news.
But every day things get worse.
We've been quibbling a bit with each other about this and that.
Issues that are surely important, but the most important is saving our nation from complete destruction.
Every day gets me closer to existential despair.
But I'll employ the strategy that I gave my children when they were feeling this despair.
Yes, kids do experience it and I thank my lucky stars that I have such a relationship that we can talk about it.
Live every day for the moment.
Do what you can do to make things better, but don't take it on as a personal burden,
Notice tiny miracles - like a seed sprouting, or your cat not vomiting on the carpet.
Acknowledge the importance of community.
Bottom line, it is so important to support each other, hear each other and consider others' viewpoints.
Survival is going to be a team effort.
Thank you DU
We get the print version of the NY times on weekends
There's NOTHING about the LA confrontations until page 20.
Something just occurred to me
With all of these ICE detentions, what happens to those people who are taking medications that are keeping them alive? Observing their behavior, I fear that the issue doesn't occur to them.
I have been taking Warfarin for more than 30 years for a blood disorder. If it were denied to me I would be at risk for a heart attack, stroke or pulmonary embolism.
Who is liable for the death of a detainee who dies as a result of their imprisonment?
