    Y'all asked for photos of the red velvet cake. Keep in mind that decorating is not my forte, baking is. :lol:

    Sorry it's late, one slice put me in a food coma last night.

    All of my life I've resented my biological father for not being there. He's made attempts in the last years to meet up with me. I tried and he has always let me down. All my life I've lived with so much anger towards him. I finally started talking to him and I can say that I've reached a point in my life (maybe because of my illness) where I can't hold grudges anymore or hold on to anger. I hope this is the start of at least a friendship with him. I am more than willing to let him into my life and my kids lives.

    Glad to hear you're able to work through those things! 😊

    I think you and @_Miss_chievous_ are amazing. You both give so many hope and find ways to encourage others in the process.

    That's way more than most of us could do and you both do it all the time.

    You're both absolutely fantastic. 😊

    It's crazy. It's been 4 years since we broke up... And yet, some songs come on and they have a way of squeezing my heart so hard that I still want to cry.

    I know I moved on, but there's a part of me that I think will forever be reserved for that one person I loved with my whole heart.

    Too bad it was never meant to be.

    Love Skillet.

    Hope you keep on keeping on. Hang in there.💛

    So many wonderful ancient places are being discovered.

    Oh why did I have to look at that cake. I’ll obsess about it for hours...

    Me too. :/ Looks like it tastes really yummy!! Is that cream cheese frosting? I want some cream cheese frosting right now, or peanut butter frosting. :blush:

    If you're talking about my cake, yes. It's cream cheese frosting. I used this recipe if you want to make it for yourself, but.. it takes awhile to assemble.

    I had to make a very hard decision today. I'm heartbroken but it's what's best for my kids and I.

    Oh man. That's hard. I hope you're all ok.

    I am bummed out. Had a great day eating BBQ and playing games at the arcade. Came home to find a dead cat in our driveway. He doesn't appear to have been hit or beaten.. in fact, it looks as though someone carefully placed him in my driveway.

    I cried over the loss even though yes, he is a stray. My husband doesn't seem to understand why it gets to me. So now, I'm depressed. We can't just dump the body in the trash and now security on base is wasting a Sunday asking around as to the ownership of the cat.

    I’m sorry. I understand why it hurts. 24 years ago I saw a dead kitten in the weeds beside an old cemetery. I cried but was comforted when the man I was with cried with me.

    right before i found my first apartment, i was staying with a friend in a sketchy part of the city. i came back to her place one night, and a cat had been impaled on a wrought iron fence in front of the house. i was shocked senseless and ran up to my roomie to tell her what happened. we were so horrified.

    i'm so sorry that you - of all people - had to come home to that. it's devastating when death happens naturally to animals in any case, but when circumstances are bizarre - it's indeed traumatic.

    sending you a hug and hoping they find out how this cat was on your driveway...

    I feel sad just imagining this. I'm so sad you had to go through it. I don't get why someone placed him on your driveway though, unless they hit him near there and thought he was yours. Regardless, it's hard to see an animal like that - especially if you love cats. Big hugs

    Yuh.. it's even worse because it's almost always a person I shouldn't *kitten* miss.
