Damn, I'm messed up!!
I just wanted to thank those of you who have taken the time to read my journal. The entry about the cat was the hardest thing to put in print. We haven't told my Daughter yet. With her being incarcerated for another Christmas, well, this isn't such a good time to tell her. I agree that she should know, but I'm afraid she will freak out and be put in Shoe. Thats Solitary; Albion slang. Then she looses all her good time. She is a facilitator for the new inmates. She gives them the 411 about whats going down in prison and what to expect. She is doing so well right now, considering her predictament. I still think it's best to wait a bit. I do value all of your opinions. And I am very thankful for your comments. We will be telling her, just not for the Holidays. Keep me in your thoughts. This is going to suck, big time.

As you can guess, I have no-one to spend my holidays with. It really does suck. My kids are grown, and do their own thing for the most part, they have someone. I am so grateful for my friends here on VR! I am really happy to participate in the Annual Holiday Card exchange! That helps keep my spirits up! I've been around VR for almost 4 years and have met some really great people! It's nice to belong somewhere!
This is very difficult for me to write. We lost one of my Daughter's cats November 16th. Her name was Wickette. She was a beautiful girl. Anyway, my Daughter is in prison until 2012 for something really stupid, and she doesn't belong there. I will say that Albany cops are crooked and evil and I hate them all....sorry, I get pissed when I think about the circumstances. One of the things that my Daughter fears so terribly is to loose a cat while she is away. The nightmare begins. We haven't told her because it would crush her. I am sick to my stomach thinking about it. I think about it every day. What am I going to do? This is going to absolutely kill my girl. Her Brother was taking care of the kitty. Apparently she had something wrong with her heart and it was enlarged. The same day she became paralized from her waist down and couldn't walk. She was wetting herself, poor thing. There was no warning, she acted normal right up until she had an anurism or heart attack. We don't know for sure. My Son did everything he possibly could. He even went to the emergency clinic in Latham. She was suffering, and would have had a terrible time. My Son was very brave, and put her to sleep. He has never done this before and he is devastated. I wish I could take his pain. I've had to put beloved pets to sleep before and there is nothing as unbearable. I am crying as I type. I am so worried about my Daughter, and what she will do when we tell her. I don't want her to suffer any more than she already is. This is a really tough call. I'm not sure if it is right that I don't tell her, but she is at the mercy of our "wonderful" judicial system. All I want to do is save her from more pain. What would you do?? It's really awful, either way.

The truth is always the best Lin and even though it will hurt her it is better than letting the cat be miserable, I'm sure she would of done the same thing and as I see it there was no other option. Unfortunately death is a reality we all must face from time to time of our loved ones. All you can do is be there for her and I know what a wonderful mother you are. I'm sorry for your loss hun *hugs*.
I'm sorry for your Loss hunny. The best bet is to tell Lin that you did everything you could and it was the cat's time..
Sorry to hear that. My girl, Shadow, is 20. I have to have her eye removed. My doggie, Scooby< had an enlarged heart. It's 3 years since he passed. We still miss him with all our heart. That's atough call. Better to be honest.
I am hitting the highway at 4 am Saturday morning to journey to Albion Correctional Facility to see my Daughter. I am sooooo excited to see her. She definitely doesnt belong there but shit happens. Course, I am the Mommie, so I would stick up for her anyway!!! I'm going up with one of her friends, who, bye the way, is paying! Thankful for that because I am broke ass. Can I say ass?? lol Ass, ass.... back on the subject!! Its about 550 miles round trip, and boring as hell. I do enjoy the farmlands that we go through. Its near Buffallo. I am going to wear a Pittsburge Steelers tee shirt because its my Daughters team, and I want to piss off the locals!! Danielle will love that!!! I told her I would do it. No offence to Buffallo people. Just something fun to do, and see the looks on some of the inmates, CO's and other visitors faces!!!! They are very serious about the Bills. Wish me luck I dont get a speeding ticket. Its pretty much a straight away and it's so fun to go 80 or 90......I shall return late Saturday and will be friggin pooped from driving. I do almost ALL the driving. Thank god for rest stops!!!!

Lyrics to Bad Things : True Blood
I wanna do bad things with you.
When you came in the air went out.
And every shadow filled up with doubt.
I don't know who you think you are,
But before the night is through,
I wanna do bad things with you.
I'm the kind to sit up in his room.
Heart sick an' eyes filled up with blue.
I don't know what you've done to me,
But I know this much is true:
I wanna do bad things with you.
When you came in the air went out.
And all those shadows there are filled up with doubt.
I don't know who you think you are,
But before the night is through,
I wanna do bad things with you.
I wanna do real bad things with you.
Ow, ooh.
I don't know what you've done to me,
But I know this much is true:
I wanna do bad things with you.
I wanna do real bad things with you.
[ Bad Things Lyrics on http://www.lyricsmania.com/ ]
After a long 6 months of total hell and chaos I am glad to be back. I got hooked up with who I thought was Mr. Right, oh man was I mistaken. After 2 months I found out he was a heavy drug useer and a woman abuser to boot. I cant even begin to tell you the hell he out me through. but the worse thing, even after he threatened to kill me with a knife to my throat, low and behold, it got worse. I am an avid cat lover if you haven't figured that out by now. When I was in the process of getting my belongings out, he put all my cats outside on the main road. These cats have never been outside, besides in the cat carrier to go to the Vet. These poor innocent creatures...I have retrieved 4 of them, and there are still six missing. I have canvased the neighborhood, carefully, I might add, as he works across the street from my old apartment. Ladies, proceed with caution. Some men put on a really good act. No offence to you good guys out there....although I still havent met one who is single!!! If there are drugs involved, lots of drugs, head for the hills. And if you ever meet this character, who's name is Joe Dunn, do not be fooled. He is crazy and should be on medication. RUN AWAY

It;s guys like that who give us all a bad name and major drug use is bad news no matter what. I have been with a couple women who did alot and it did'nt go well ata all. I hope you find your cats atleast.
damn...welcome back hun....hope you find your cats.
: (
I hate people who abuse animals. They are defenseless and don't know how to care for themselves. He should be taken out and tied in the road and left for someone to run over his sorry ass.
I am glad you got away from him
I've had my share of fraudulent men and I feel for you. And of course he hit you where he knew it would hurt the worse, your cats. I hope you get them all back ..
