The I Feel Down Topic.

The reason we even knew each other in the first place was because our mums worked together in some early years group thing back in the 1990s in the Forest of Dean. I've probably known them for 30 years at this point, and probably the longest I've ever known and been in touch with anyone who isn't a family member or church-related.
 
Oh dear, that is the very name of their doggie morgue.
Stunning local service, but incredibly sad.
Over the rainbow bridge to be reunited with his missing leg.
 
Cheers all...**** happens, we knew it was coming.

Six year bonus really since he lost his leg at eight (roughly).
A mean and crazy Staffy boxer cross Salford street dog that struck lucky via a shelter up on the moors.
Log fire lit early just for him and a whole settee in front of it every day for the last two winters.
Never left for more than three hours for the first couple of years, destroyed everything, and no young child's leg was ever left unshagged...even when down to one back leg.
Stopped the traffic on the devils highway more than once, fighting his way onto the front pages of the local rag...

Kind services called in at 8 this morning, all done, been and gone by half ten, both of us ****** by noon and back to bed.

Good to see you about again Mr Zola, and diogo, you don't want to know what he thought of rats.
Tried to take the door off to get to one.
Very nearly succeeded.

Back to the bottle now, so no more posting today, or Craig will be having me whipped, again.
 
Double post I apologise but I've had an utter shambles on the first day back for my school runs.

First thing is the minder I pick up (who's kid is also on the run but that's another story) which I need to help with special needs kids seemed to have gone AWOL with no warning or anything in which I tried phone and knocking on the door for a response which I feel that maybe she felt that ad it is Easter Monday that schools are still off like in England only here in Fife they are back today which it seems she's made a embarrassing mistake so I had to apologise to the parents of the other kids I pick up that I couldn't take the kids in this morning for my minder has seemingly gone and even though this wasn't my fault I still feel guilty that I failed to do my job because of someone else.

But guess what, the calamity doesn't end there as before I went out on mu afternoon run, got a word from my boss (who I told about what happened in the morning ofc) that my taxi had failed it's taxi test from perhaps the most stupidest reason possible...the seat belt plastic cover had come loose and now I have no idea when I'll get it back and to add the cherry on top for this crapstack day, there was no spare vehicle ready so the afternoon run was cancelled and now I have no clue what will happen tomorrow.

Now before you ask why wasn't this done during the holidays is that the work is done during the holidays as everyone who does that work is off so yes it is one of those things for a double whammy to happen to me...all isn't my fault but yet still feel I'm getting the blame for it. I'm just so ****** off for what has happened today and I really have to let rip for what has happened today. :mad::mad::mad::mad:
 
Had a miserable journey back from rust on Friday. Checked out of the (poor) Hayat sky hotel at 10:30, had a lovely mooch around Freiburg until 4pm. The trip from Freiburg to Basel airport was nothing short of a disaster, the extensive roadworks around the airport diverted us to saint Louis (French side of airport) but the car needed to go back to Swiss side… however, there are ZERO diversions put in place to clearly guide people to the Swiss side of the airport. Driving around an Airport while navigating roadworks and being on a time schedule is quite possibly the most stressful thing I’ve done for a while!

Got to the airport with an hour to spare only to find the find the flight delayed by 90 mins which is fine but it’s just compiling the misery at this point.

Landed in Bristol, jumped in the car only for the air con compressor to tear itself sending a shower of sparks down the M5 lighting up the road around us at 1am… cue 5 hours on the hard shoulder wearing shorts. didn’t get home until 8am the next day with the car now sat in a random car park awaiting repair! Really put a dampener on what was an incredible 11 days away 🙁


TL;DR: what was supposed to be a relaxing final day of an action packed holiday turned into a 24 hour sleep deprived travel day from the depths of hell itself!

Sorry to hear that, travelling can be awful. Had a nasty journey back from Heathrow after a Liseberg trip last autumn with only two cylinders out of four working - we didn't know it at the time, just that something was very very wrong! A closure on the M4 didn't help matters especially when my overtired husband stamped on the brake rather than the clutch on a slip road (I was too scared to drive at all!). We got back at 1.30am feeling pretty shaken. Not fun.
 
I saw my cat be euthanised.

She had been run over a few days ago. I wanted to go see her, I bought treat too.

I don’t know I saw there. She was mangled. She twitched and breathed like a rabbit, she blinked like an eagle. There was dry spit all over her coat, it was matted, yellow.

I took one look at her and cried. I felt sick. I don’t know what had happened to her. She was so pretty and I was just looking at this… thing. She couldn’t even eat the treat.

She looked away from us while she took the injection. She turned away from us, looked death straight it the eyes. I always took her as snooty, but she was so valiant. I couldn’t see her face. I stroked her. It was like stroking the old Yoshi. She was so young.

I took great comfort seeing her at peace again, just like how she used to sit on the puzzle board in the living room. I don’t want to think about looking at what I saw ever again. I wish the car had just killed her there and then. I wouldn’t wish her to live seconds more, with what had happened to her, she was so precious.

She was good. Maybe even the best.

Sorry mate, both lost our pets recently.
Better place and all that.

I truly hope my dog doesn't meet your cat at the rainbow bridge...

Honestly, I was very happy she could pass on. I’m upset about what happened to her. She just looked mangled. The cat I knew had died before I got there. She was just obliterated, but breathing. It was awful.

Christ no she’ll be getting her own bridge if she gets her way!
 
Sorry to hear about your losses guys. Awfully sad business losing parts of our families. Better to remember the joy that we brought to each other.
 
Just finished the last session of a Path Finder (D&D) campaign I've been playing for about six years. The character(s)* I have been playing for that time have kinda taken over my head, in a good way.


*Turns out my character has a repressed personality [didn't plan this, it just happened in character] So I've been playing two brains in one body for the last couple of years...

The best part? Our DM never revealed exactly what the hell is going on in my head. Leaves things open for a future return.
One day.
As a high-level quasi-demi-god.


But yeh, its pretty weird to kiss goodbye to something that's been a part of your life for so long.
