just lovely.

Well my future in laws had to put their dog to sleep the other morning. Julius was 14 yrs old and developed problems with his kidneys in the past few weeks. It isn't going to be the same going there and not seeing his cute face.

I know how hard it is to lose someone you love.
To me it doesn't matter whether they're on two legs or Four.

I'll keep you and your inlaws in my prayers.

Oh bsg I truly empathise

been there too many times. I hate that time in a pets life, it's so hard and every time I always swear that's it no more and then I cave 'cause I just can't resist. 14 is a good age to live to, and once the kidneys go on an animal it's very hard to make that sustainable. I always imagine that their probably having a blast, young again, pain free chaising the butterflies or some ball , probably thinks I'm a goof , "silly mummy I'm right here can't you see me?".

bsg1fan1975 · March 11th, 2004, 03:25 AM

I loved that dog. He was always at the door waiting for us when we got there. It was like he knew we were coming. Kev's mom said that he'd be sitting at the kitchen door five minutes before we got there. I'll miss that Brittany Spaniel, he was a painat times when he wanted to share the couch with you but he was also lovable.

That's great Bsg!

Hey all, you might think me a bit out of touch if I mention this, but I finally tried my hand at using a crock pot for dinner. That because my family is tired of me burning dinner when I get sidetracked on the computer

. So they bought me one (hint, hint).

Funny thing, we received SEVEN at our wedding, but traded all of them in cuz we needed food more than cooking utensils. Well, I gotta say a BIG THUMBS UP to this way of cooking! My first try was a chuck roast stew, and YUM was it ever good! It was so easy too, I just made up the batch while my daughter got ready for school and flipped the switch. And voila, nigh and behold at 5:30 it was ready, with NO checking every few minutes to add water, etc. I sure like that!

Even found a whole website of crock pot cooking ideas. Now if I can just get the fam' to try out new dishes...

Dawg · March 15th, 2004, 01:12 PM

Crock pots are the only way to cook chili.

Been a long time since I've done that, too.

Hmmm. Mrs. Dawg may be in for a treat this weekend......

I am
Dawg

Muffit · March 15th, 2004, 02:49 PM

Hi Dawg! Yup, in fact that's the dish I keep burning. The beans have to cook so long and I get sidetracked sometimes on the computer, I forget to check the water

Rowan · March 15th, 2004, 04:47 PM

Muffit I did change my handle

and frankly I can't immagine you getting sidetracked on the computer...:laugh:

Crock pots are how my boyfriend makes his chili too, and curried chicken

I had the same problem with cooking a roast in the oven. It took forever! So, the last time I went to visit my parents they sent me home with a new appliance. A roaster oven. Now I just add water, meat and my veggies and let 'er rip. In two hours I have a no fuss and very little to clean up dinner! These things are a gift from the gods!

Rowan · March 17th, 2004, 07:52 AM

Well I had to share this with you guys...
Remember I told you a little about the "great teachers" we have at my school and some of my problems well recently there has been a great deal of turmoil in my semester and the students got together and wrote a letter of complaint to the entire nursing department. I t was unanimously agree to by the entire student body of 4th semester! Here is the Assistant deans response to that letter.

Dear Debbie and the entire Semester Four student Body: (please forward this to all the
students if you like):

I have just received the semester IV letter and I am so very, very proud of the work that
you have collectively produced. As I read the letter, I could not help but feel my heart
swell with pride at the amazing work you have all done. The letter is professional,
constructive, very respectful and very, very hopeful.

I want to thank you for receiving me into "your" classroom and for sharing your
thoughts. It took courage and trust in yourselves and in me.

This process of finding your voices began on February 25th...and I am hoping that
through this very process, you have not only found your voice, but that you are
beginning to feel empowered .This letter certainly signals so.

I want to thank you, for your time and effort in "crafting" the letter.
The letter's language is articulate and sophisticated. If I had to grade this letter is would
get an A+!....

I want to share one of my favorite persons in history, a cultural anthropologist named
Margaret Mead. She has inspired me with her vision and her sense of humanity.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world:
Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has".
Margaret Mead.

Thank you for the priviledge of hearing your voices. I am hoping to be invited to your
class at the end of term so we can touch base...over coffee and cookies perhaps?
It will be on me!!

Sincerely

Silvia RN, BSc.N, MA
Assistant Dean
Faculty of Health Sciences

I'm pretty proud of them! what a great group of students

I'm Proud of YOU and of THEM! Signing that letter let alone writing it
took alot of courage for you and the other students to do. You are my
HERO girl

bsg1fan1975 · March 17th, 2004, 12:26 PM

(((((((((((((((((((((ROWAN)))))))))))))))))))))))))

Just hang in there. I think with the positive results you and your 'cohorts' (

)
recieved ..........that the 'teacher's veiled threats' might simply turn to be
for naught. In any case I'm keeping you and your fellow letter writers in my
prayers.

I have a different 'prayer' in mind for that teacher

If you notice the teacher using a cushion to sit on and
that all the Preperation H is gone from the shelves.......................................

Welllllllllllll I think you get my point
