Now What

I feel like a human pin cushion too whenever I have to go to the doc and they take so many tests. I wish I had a joke for you. You should tell your husband to be responsible and go to the doc for his headaches, since you are going to the doc so much! But anyways, I guess we all have to deal with issues in life... hope you feel better soon.

I can tell you about one of my cats, Dupree. I have a table he likes to jump up on and look out the window. But I don't want him up there, he's ruining the curtain and the blinds. So he gets up there and I stop him. He growls like a dog when I do it. We did this back and forth for almost an hour last saturday. I was sitting in my rocker/recliner when he jumped in my lap and sat down. He's a big cat so he was almost eye to eye with me. He started to growl and when I made eye contact with him he laid his ears flat back, his eyes dialated to huge black saucers and he hisses a stinky gut deep hiss at me. The next thing I knew he slapped me on both sides of my head. Lucky for me he didn't use his claws but held his paws on my temples. Well I grabbed his paws and twisted him onto his back and yelled "Don't you ever do that to me" and chucked him in another room and slammed the door. He started scratching the door until I let him back out and an hour later he wanted to snuggle up with me. We have a power struggle going on, he thinks he's king of the world and I think I am the queen of my castle. He knew not to hurt me but evidently he was pretty mad with me. He has bitten me twice in the past out of meaness and after biting him back he quit doing it. Yep, he's a constant source of entertainment. I hope you are feeling better soon.

  Well now, as a 53 year old male, i gotta say your husband's a male chauvenist wimp;an allergy headache??? my dear, i was diagnosed with cfs and my doctor was trying to put me in a home. i couldn't accept that and i went off on a "i don't give a sh-t spin". well, that ended with a very bad accident. broken feet, L-1 - L-5 compacted, two compacted in mid-back, all the vertabrae in my neck are now degenerated to the point they won't touch them unless they affect major organs, and neurological and nerve damage. now, i'm looking for a woman who wants to share a quiet life AND the housework. i have a caregiver 25 hrs a week, but i have to do the cleaning ( i guess i have a touch of the taurus "i can clean better than that" attitude. i may be a foolish old newfy( an island on the east coast of canada, that supposibly has all the idiots and bumpkins as residents)( and i thought all the idiots were in ottawa running the country), but i'm housebroken( most of the time) i'm easy maintenance( too sick and sore to take out), i don't have much of an appetite, so there won't be much cooking or dishes on your nights to do it. as a bonus, as a newfy, i'm very entertaining; i gotta laugh at myself, no matter what i did that's stupid; i usually have a sick comment for everything; and just watching me bounce off walls and furniture, doing pirouettes around my dogs, and then falling withought hurting myself is quite funny. when i'm able to see again, i'll make a comment about your feet... i told'ja us newfs are foolish. now, don't i sound like more fun than a husband who whines because of an allergy headache. i'd tell ya a joke, but all the ones i know are not quite family oriented. you try to grin, and forget your hubby. apparently he has no pitty for you; so, throw the bum out and come live with me at the local asylum( i do get out on weekends!!!). the only tears here are from laughing, no tears of frustration. really, and truly. now, would i lie to you?? take care and try to cheer up. your husband could probably be worse, well maybe, yea it's possible i suppose...
