I took a small doll to my grandma's funeral years back. I packed a cigar case purse and put him in it, but I had him on my lap during the second service. I dunno if I really needed him, but it was nice to have him there. my sweet orient doll.

I'm gonna take my tiny in an eyeglass case...I might sneak her out I might not but having her regardless will make me feel better either way.

I'm sorry for your loss.

[knittnkitten]

don't be. she was really gone years before she died, and it was a relief to all when she finally did. I never really grieve too much when someone dies. they are in a better place, they arn't suffering. and while I'l miss them, I know they would be hurt if I focused too much on it, and they'd be just as happy if I went on living a good life. even a guy I knew who had Down's syndrome for a good part of my life, I accepted that he wouldn't live long and it was just something that happened when he did die. but he's in a good place and who knows, may reincarnate down the line.

That's a good point of view to have. I've just been..Conflicted I guess during all of this because I didn't know my uncle well and I've been just feeling the weight of everything. Tomorrow I can start healing...I'm just glad I have so many people who care on my side. Made it a lot easier.

Nnnnn... drama AGAIN in my Wartune guild... T__T

This time, one of the mid-level players basically ranted at the two highest-level players in the guild (one of whom is me) for not helping the little ones in multi-player dungeons when we're done with our MP runs... (Let me explain a bit: each player gets 3 MPD attempts each day, and once you've used those up, you can still go into multi-player dungeons but you get no EXP or treasure. The MPDs are meant to be done with players of the same level as yours. Lower levels can't get into the high-lvl dungeons, and the EXP you receive is scaled by level, so once you are 3-4 levels higher than the level it was meant for, you get no EXP there. You're supposed to go in 4-man teams, which can make finding enough people to do an MP run tough, especially for the high level dungeons.)

We both explained to him that by the time we're done with our runs, it's 4am and we need to go to bed... but he kept going on and on about how we don't help the lower levels more... basically it was the three of us repeating the same things over and over at each other in guild chat, trying to make the mid-lvl dude understand what we were saying although he never seemed to get it...

Around 4am, the other high-lvl player logged off, and the dude was still bugging me about shit so I finally told him to be quiet and stop being disrespectful and offensive to other players (which is one of the few things that our guild leader kicks people out of the guild for).

He apologized and said he didn't mean it that way, but then repeated the same things he'd been saying the whole time, in the same exact way, and wondered why we would find it offensive...

I was about to flip out on the guy because he would NOT give it a rest even after I told him several times to just drop it... I finally told him that even if he didn't mean to be offensive, the things he said and the way he said them WERE offensive to us, and that I will be speaking to the guildmaster tomorrow about his behavior.

tl:dr - a player in my Wartune guild suddenly decided to throw a bitchfit about not getting help from the higher levels in multi-player dungeons, and might be getting kicked out of the guild as a result.

Phone/Dial-up internet is out. We think all the rain we've had has gotten water in the land line. It's completely silent when you pick it up, and is throwing up a busy signal when you try to call it. No idea when it'll get fixed either. Will definitely be on at least once a week when we go out to town to a WiFi hotspot.

I am "lolling" at the guild-whiner. <-------------- it's a face much like this.

I always knew the date was looming, but I was blissfully unaware of it until just now. tomorrow marks the 3 years my cat Cuddles has been dead. We had two cats before her but she was MY cat. My name was on her papers, I handled her vet bills... she was my girl. So when she got sick out of the blue and was vomiting everything she ate, I thought I could handle it. I thought changing her diet and medication would help her get through it. I should've approved exploratory surgery. Maybe they would've found the diseased intestines before it killed her... I don't know. The whole experience was traumatic. I tried to keep her alive when everyone was telling me it was time to let her go. I couldn't justify putting her down without at least TRYING something.

I look at Dr. House and I hope he goes out peacefully. I really hope I don't have to struggle with another medical decision. But, Cuddles is the reason why I'm so careful with pet food now. I regularly change Dr. House's food because I don't want his body doing something i can't control. I don't even know if it was food that killed her, but she had been on the same diet for years and the whole experience got me looking at the pet food industry different after the things i learned.

and as if on cue, Dr. House as come to my desk to be near me. Augh. ok, I just needed to talk it out.

Yes, well, the drama-llama and I both talked to the guildmaster today. He mediated the disagreement, made sure both sides saw each others' points, and basically asked us to try to get along.

Guild chat has been pretty quiet tonight, even though the whiner is online, lol. He's usually a bit more chatty but I suppose he is wary of getting his head bitten off again...

*hugs catshem* It's always so hard to see your pet hurt My family used to have a lot of pets, mostly cats and dogs and sure enough most of them had babies. Everything went well, even had a family tree growing with the cats until at one point we had our beagle stud. One by one her puppies got sick and if it was too hot they'd have a seizure. It was hard. Some of them died the last 2 we gave away before they started the seizures. After a few months our cat had kittens, and we think the virus the puppies had stuck to the house. The kittens got sick... It was so hard.. we really loved our pets as part of our family and seeing a kitten writhe in pain..I feel you catshem.. I'll keep Dr. House in my prayers that he stays strong and healthy
