Don't you think karma might be good to me because I talk to lonely old men at the hospital and ask them about their injury or eve go to the hospital just for moral support. Maybe I bought my mom's caregiver a coffee and my mom lunch so that I knew they had snacks before I left. I kinda f believe in always paying it forward in actions

Well I don’t know you so no I didn’t think that... glad you impressed me tho

AliNouveau

I have a really good life and always have and i sometimes feel it's my lot in life to cheer people up haha
When my son is more self sufficient I'm going to volunteer at the hospital we were at today. It's more inner city and I don't think gets a lot of volunteers

AliNouveau

So the Toronto Maple Leafs are having a practice and game of shinny at the rink outride of city hall. They took the subway there

No lie, I miss our Mike Babcock years in Detroit

AliNouveau

He's doing well Here

Reckoner67

Yeahhhhhhhhhh and Detroit hasn't done anything since he left. He always wanted to coach in Canada though so good for him I'm not bitter I swear

AliNouveau

Hahha you don't sound bitter at all

Sittin at the vet while they try to figure out what's wrong with my dumb old cat who'd better not die

I hope your cat is ok

Reckoner67

They figured it out--MASSIVE infection, no clue how he got it but they know how to hopefully get him better. I swear this cat is trying to use up all nine lives this year, but glad that he's starting to act like he's feeling better at least

Good news, hope its a quick recovery

AliNouveau

awww yay for the vet and just an infection. Is the cat an outdoor cat or strictly indoor?

Reckoner67

Strictly indoor, but he's 16 and showing it. He's been with us longer than my oldest boy though (we've had this cat since he was 4 weeks old) so now when he gets sick we get a little panicked.

AliNouveau

Cats often live into their 20s don't they?
I wonder where he picked up this infection. Thank goodness you caught it before it got worse

Reckoner67

I don't know that they *often* live into their 20s, but that is a thing. Most cats that I've had through my life lived to somewhere between 14 - 18, though I did have one go closer to 20, and a friend of mine has a 22-year-old cat right now.

AliNouveau

ahhh I guess I just hear of old cats probably because no one talks about their average ged cats.
I have never had a cat. We had dogs, no cats

Glad to hear you figured out what was going on and it’s treatable. My wife is a vet tech thank god or we’d never be able to afford our pets as they are always in the clinic! She sees all kinds of crazy stuff like today a dog was having surgery after completely swallowing the owners head phones

AliNouveau

I just ate a bunch of soda crackers. I swear those things are delicious.

knowmequick

Is soda crackers the same as saltines?

AliNouveau

yes. Saltines is the brand name
Soda crackers are what they are

and that is your lesson in words for the day

knowmequick

I thought Zesta was a brand of saltines.
