    Wow Buttons! You are the sort of tough grrl that the world needs more of, taking on a drunk, and from what I hear these guys can exhibit great physical strength when agitated, while the rest of the staff – including a guy – cowered in the corner. I so “love it” – NOT – when peeps just stand by and wait for someone with a backbone to take action. And then the Garda just gave this guy, who is not only abusive but a thief, a pass. Just don’t get it and never will. But hope that in some way he gets his!

    🙂 lol yes KJ drinks tend to have a strength when drunk they normally wouldn’t have when sober.. I used to play camogie (women’s hurling a GAA sport) as a teenager so I’m used to pushing my weight around 🙂 ….

    I’ve had such a strange week so far.. Was at my friends house for a girly night and Mr B’s sister was there too.. I’d decided long ago I wanted to make no contact with her after her last outburst that was again directed to me 🙁 and I was quite happy to smile and nod while in her company.. Well as I slept in my friends spare bedroom at 3am Mr B’s sister came into the room woke me up and proceeded to tell me she “didn’t want to Hate me anymore!” And that she has been telling everyone that would listen to her for the last two years that I’ve been bullying her.. Because she’s jealous and thinks her dad ( Mr B senior) loves me more than her and I’ve been picking on her for two years and telling Mr B she’s been doing Badly in college and I cut her out of family photos when I’ve been asked to take family photos without me being in them! Myself ..Her level of delusion has gotten to such an extreme level I’m actually scared we all believe she needs to be hospitalised now! So whatever she says or however much she says she wants us to be friends again I’m NEVER gonna be friends with her she’s a dangerous person and I have to stay completely away from her.. She has been making up complete lies about me and I hope people aren’t listening to her ..

    Phew rant over.. Sorry for off loading guys just can’t believe I have a person in my life that’s prepared to completely destroy my reputation 🙁 Mr B is very upset about the whole thing .. But I’ve asked him to stay out of it after all he his her brother.. … I’ve tried to explain it’s all in her head but she’ll probably accuse me of being mean if I use the words mentally unstable and delusional 🙁 but she clearly is and it’s bloody scary for me cause it’s all directed at me and only me!

    No worries, Buttons, if it relieves you somewhat to articulate situation/feeling re this woman, Café’s the place and most always a listening ear is willingly available. This woman def sounds very disturbed and I agree, I would not open any sort of discussion with her so as not to provoke her or feed into her delusional thinking, I would just keep my distance. You didn’t ask for advice, and I so do not have it “together” but I have a tendency to give advice anyway. My own stuff is what it is, let’s just say that there my family situation is complex and my emotional self-preservation is crucial, so I do have some idea of what you went through.

    Anyway, I’m watching news for continual coverage of Ottawa shooting, and right at War Memorial, situation might not even be over, no one has any real details as yet. Similar shooting last week here in Quebec. At same time E, my Fix-It guy is supposed to be coming to ideally finish work on shower as has been intermittently dripping for going on a month. Want this over and done with.

    Good for you standing up for that poor couple, Buttons!

    … and thankyou everyone for the sympathy, I gave Dau the news, and she is heart broken …… she was Cuddle’s favorite person on earth!

    … KZ, I’m so glad to hear the coconut oil is working for you, I really love it, and am sending a tub of it to Son to use on Venus, and on his dry skin in winter ….

    … I’m taking it easy this afternoon, my heart is sad ….

    Oh advice always appreciated KJ! It’s nice to know someone knows what I’m going through.. But not nice you have to go through it too … At least I know how extreme her behaviour is getting and I will avoid like the plague! Closest friends know exactly what’s happening thank god!

    Scary stuff with that shooting ! Hope it is all over now..

    {{{Buttons}}} strength and safety with the disturbed sister, and bravo for standing up for others when it was sorely lacking from others.

    AV, so will the Queen reside under a tree where she can see others from her favorite spot on the porch or perhaps in a beautiful urn of her own?

    ’til tomorrow, JK!

    … Deb, we really can’t bury animals here in the City limits – not only is my yard very tiny, but dogs and racoons will dig them up. Cremation was definitely the way to go. The vet offered that I could come back for her ashes if I wanted, but choose not to. I’ve been downloading pictures of her all day, and am making Dau a memorial collage ….. I think she will really like it ….. Cuddles has been with us since Jill was 5 …. she’ll be 24 soon ….

    See ya tomorrow Jean.. Will continue to hang On till then 🙂 lol

    Deb I’m sure I only mirrored what every fellow TDKer would have done in the same situation 🙂 it was upsetting to actually hear someone speak to a person of another race like that.. I know it’s not an unusual occurance 🙁 but I’m 32 and have never heard the like of it before and hope I never have to hear it again !

    AV that sounds like a lovely healing process … I hope the collage helps.. I was so torn when Buttons died.. I had always said I’d have him cremated .. But when it came time the nearest crematorium was a couple of hours away and only cremating on the following Thursday .. I wasn’t willing to let Buttons out of my arms even for one second so we knew we had to bury him with Lady Muck, Smelly Cat & Maneki on that little island in the middle of my parents river under the oak tree.. But as we all know they’re just places to visit they never truly leave our side.. Cuddles will always be with you.. I feel Buttons around me everyday ..

    AV, I have Shaddo & Jiggs ashes in nice boxes with their nameplates. The vet made a paw print for each of them. The plan is to have my kitties ashes go in with mine when it’s my time.

    I think the collage is a nice idea 🙂

    Joan, may it not be your time until you reach 120 years old! (Jewish saying). Now I’m back to thinking on Nicky’s passing and it never ceases to sadden me, the suddenness of it all, on a Thursday trouble breathing, by Sunday had to make dreaded decision after carefuland detailed discussion with vets. I was a total wreck. Did not keep ashes (was told that pets who are PTS are cremated). Not done in my religion, and no my kits are not Jewish, but not a concept that I can relate to. And in a sense felt that Nicky would have liked to have his ashes mixed with those of other pets as he was alone when with me. Does this sound completely crazy? not to TDKer’s I hope. Screen getting blurry.
    Changing topic. No, shower head is not repaired as yet! Looked up character as Eldin Bernecky, Murphy Brown’s philosophical and constant repair guy. My guy took detailed pics of nec’y faucet part. And supplier sent him one with a different shaped end, sort of like trying to drill in screw with incorrect drill bit. And (I asked) not possible to send part as would have had to shut off water for duration or flood my apt. I told him to give supplier “what for” and have them for sure pay for re-shipping etc. ‘Cause y’all know that I’d go right to head of supply company and explain reality to them! So I would be eternally grateful if occasional dripping were my biggest problem, and I’m cool with waiting yet again. Or getting cool. At least I’m not having to re-work my schedule for all this. Oh and when I went to confirm water supply after non-job I heard a huge meow! Thought that it was guy’s cell phone, or Dorry? It was guy “talking” to Dorry, who just gave him the “look”. My fearless boy-kit!

    Awww such sad news in the café today…. 🙁 Sitting here crying for everyone and the loss of our precious babies. 🙁 SO heart breaking…… AV, I am SO sorry sweetie. Cuddles had a lovely life with you and your family. She was with you guys for a very long time!! Awwww…
    My two are buried next to each other, under the huge oak tree. Actually, one was daughter’s as his heart belonged to her! We are all SO blessed to have our fur babies with us for as long as they are able.

    Oh NO AV! I’m so sorry. You must have been posting same time I was this morning and I haven’t been back until now. Sweet Cuddles. What a wonderful life she had living with you and your family. Almost every tree has more than one or two kitties buried under it in my yard, on this farm. My granddog Jakie is buried out by the barn under the butternut tree, now known as the Jakie tree and my heart still yearns for him and his happy face. As well as all the kits I have lost and their unique and funny personalities.
    KJ, that was such a kind thing to say today, I wish you were here I would give you the biggest hug. I know that we all don’t know each other but I genuinely care (yes, love) the people here and their kind hearts and spirits. Look at how Buttons went after that nasty human…Karma for sure and soon. You know Buttons, I wouldn’t be above putting a little *hex* on that cat figurine he has in his possession…just sayin’…….
    Well, all went well today until about noon, and Dau called me and her hubby hurt his back working and ended up in the ER. She had to leave work and won’t be working tomorrow because he can’t hardly stand up and will need help going to the bathroom. I took Avery home to her this evening so she didn’t have to make another trip and leave hubby alone. Seriously, some weeks, UGH.
    Also KJ, I was thinking of you today after hearing on the news of the Ottawa thing. They broke into programming, and I didn’t catch the later broadcast so I don’t really know what happened, but it was Canada and KJ lives there and hoping my TDK peep (peeps) is safe! AND I really like the Jewish saying about living until 120!

    Aww thanks KZ, I feel and appreciate virtual hugs as well! Back at you! Saying comes from Torah quote that “Moses was 120 years old when he died” (Deuteronomy 34:7). So “till 120” is a goodly age to get to!
    Yeah, I’m not in the city where shooting happened, a similar shooting happened in my province the other day (perp was supporter of terrorist efforts), but not in my city. The shooter had criminal record in Montreal as well as in Vancouver (across the country near Pacific) and lived here for some time, details beginning to be released as news peeps get them. So sad as soldier was on guard duty right next to Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, young guy and news shows pics of him and his dog and gets at me big time. How anyone walks near Parliament Buildings with an assault weapon is beyond comprehension and I’m not the only one to express dismay. More will unfold as week goes on and there is strong thinking that there may be link to terrorism. Scary.
    Anyway, maybe I should give the TV a rest, but hard not to want to “know”. Hope that son-in-law’s back heals soon, what a lot for your daughter to be dealing with, again thank goodness that Nana and Grandpa (don’t know what Mr. KZ is called by grandkids) are there for them.
