"Jack Campin - bogus address" wrote in message ... She didn't know she had it until they did her blood work at Mayo. They found her liver enzymes were astronomically high. Then they discovered she had hemochromatosis. She told me that they then called her and told her that she had brought it on herself by drinking. I don't know if that's the case or not. It's an inexcusably vicious and misleading way to describe the situation. Haemochromatosis is a genetic syndrome which is worsened by alcohol, but at a level that would not be a problem for most people. Since most folks with haemochromatosis don't know they've got it, it's ridiculous to blame them if they drink. Allen, you're welcome to stick around here if you want our friendship and support. There were times when she was scheduled to talk to her doctors that she specifically requested that I not be present. She told me she didn't want me to hear what they said. I can only assume that she felt ashamed. Thanks for the welcome. I'll be as nice as the company allows me. TFM® |

Got that wrong: (WAS Disturbing News)

... "Cheryl" wrote in message ... "jmcquown" wrote in message ... "TFM®" wrote in message . com... If her family member WANT the cats, maybe we can do a collection to send them there? We've done it before.... We can do it again (remember that ol' WWII mantra?) If he wants to keep Tyrone, as an INDOOR cat, he can do so with the stipulation that they get regular veterinary visits, plus any medical treatment, he can, but he should be put on notice that Kili's friends are WATCHING HIM - and some are not so far away... insert evil grin All three can be spirited away to someone who will care for them, and a stick shoved up his butt if he doth protest too much Nobody in her family wants the cats. Now catch this part - I'm a 42 year old, fully grown man. I can and will do whatever I want. I am not abusing the cats. TFM® I apologize, Alan. I just tend to overreact when it comes to outdoor cats. Yours isn't exactly a great neighborhood where people are known for their charitable acts towards cats, as your own wife told me. But you're right, it's not my business. I do hope they at least got their shots from that vet fund. Being outdoor cats might be fun for them but it's not great, health-wise. Jill I think many of us do overreact, Jill, but it's out of caring. I know I was thinking of my own cats in this situation if it comes up while I have them all and have to leave them to someone else, and Julie did make a good point that I won't know or have a say after I'm gone. Sorry for the run-on sentence. I just like to think that someone's dying wishes are honored only because I'd want mine to be. Allan, I apologize too. I am just looking at you and shaking my head. Sweet Jesus on toast. Why?? I feel bad for him even if he's not doing right by Christy but questioning him isn't going to get anywhere. My thoughts go to Christy's cats and my cats if I die and someone disrespected me by not caring for them as I do. And I do apologize for jumping on this thread with only emotion. I can't keep up with the threads on rec.food.cooking; moves too fast for me. |

"tanadashoes" wrote in message m... "Yowie" wrote in message ... Having watched the two youtube videos, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFURD5dp_QU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QCHIZQmiOY all *I* see is two cats who seem to be enjoying the outside, and male voice that seems to hold them in some affection. Since when was it a crime to let cats outside? When was calling a cat 'Retard' considered abuse? I know that two youtube videos is hardly the 'whole story' but there is nothing in those videos to suggest that the owner of those cats is in any way abusing or neglecting them. They look like healthy happy cats that have a good relationship with the person behind the camera to me. If folks have any concrete evidence that Alan is abusing and/or neglecting the cats, then it needs to be reported to the authorities, not posted about here. Despite personal opinions of him and his character, posting to a public newsgroup implying he is an animal abuser is innapropriate at best and libellious at worst. Yowie Thank you. I know I should have snipped this, but it bears repeating. There is NO PROOF that Alan is harming those cats in any way. I met Alan last year, when he knew that there was a limited time left for Christy, and that person would NEVER harm her beloved friends. Please either find proof and contact the authorities or stop maligning a person's reputation. In other words, either put up or shut up. Once again, thank you. I have nothing but love for those little critters who own me (or at least think they do) TFM® |

. com: She was my best friend and my soul mate. Whether she drank too much doesn't matter. She was the sweetest, kindest person I've ever met. She would do anything for anyone. She always had a smile and a kind word. What she was and what you were to each other was evident to me after watching one video. No one NO ONE can even imagine what the last months (years?) have been to you. I have no idea what set Jill off but she has not had the best of time the last year either. Her post did not match what I saw; I tried to say so but sometimes people get lost. Andy |

I would hate to have to answer for all the times I told one of my cats they were retarded. |

I call my cats "weirdo", "scaredy-cat", "demanding prima donna" and other choice names, as the situation and cat requires. Cats are surprisingly thick-skinned about such name-calling. OK, who can guess which of the above quoted epithets was leveled at which of my cats? -- Joyce ^..^ To email me, remove the XXX from my user name. |

. com... As it is, she did too little too late. She was my best friend and my soul mate. Whether she drank too much doesn't matter. She was the sweetest, kindest person I've ever met. She would do anything for anyone. She always had a smile and a kind word. And yet here you are telling us her most private things. I don't get you. If you're angry with her for speeding up her death, I think you need to go talk with someone, face to face, like a therapist or support group. Then again, maybe this is how you're dealing with her death. I sure know I was angry with everyone and everything after my son died. I will just stop reading the Christy posts for my own peace of mind. I hope you will too. I'm also going to have to stop thinking about her cats because I can't do anything about that either. |
