  our cat carmel has been sick for over a month.

  she started puking every morning and about a week later, on barbara's birthday, she puked five time before 8:00 am.

  we canceled our plans and took her to the vet, he ran a bunch of tests and sold us some medicine for the puking.

  I am so so sorry for your loss. We had to put Mr. Meow to sleep last summer. He looked so peaceful and out of pain afterwards that we knew we had made the right decision. He was 17 yrs. old and had outlived my grandson and major moves from So. Cal to No. Cal and back to So. Cal. He was a kitten found in a dumpster that my daughter rescued and he became one of the greatest cats ever. We had him cremated and his cremains are on a shelf with the fine china and my grandsons' cremated leg.

  Life does go on and we now have 2 stray rescued cats. In time, you may wish to rescue a stray or abandoned kitty.

  In tears and empathy on your loss.

  I don't think he was half Chinese, as I have read on other posts. According to the web sites, he was born in the U.S. by U.S. parents, not remotely Chinese or Asian.

  i understand that the printing used for the publications - 4 color roto-gravure process - involves toxic chemicals such as zylene, tolulene, benzene, and various others.

  could this be the thinking behind moving the printing to canada?

  Did people DONATE for the literature when you went out in service?

  by BonaFide in

  2. beliefs

  i think i got a donation maybe once or twice here in the states.

  most of the friends don't ask for a donation.

  in south america, more people donated, but i think it's because it was phrased differently, we used to say, "you can give whatever you want for this magazine.

  I go back to the early and mid-1960s when we "placed Literature" for a "contribution" of xxxx. We often would "throw in" extra or older mags, like a little bonus to the householder.
