Very neat. I've come to the conclusion that name I've given my cat sounds very Egyptian thate way it is supposed to be pronounced: FRU-KA-th-KUH

I'm considering modeling the Felinoid pantheon of the Tale after the Egyptian pantheon (though with some tweaks and modifications).

Hah, I've always pronounced it right in my mind then . Yeah, I always thought it had an egyptian tang to it too.

Those two kittens we're getting are supposed to be female, so that's why the names. If it turns out we're getting males they will be Ra and Set.

Means nothing to me. Reveille abandoned us for a woman.

I didn't abandon anyone. I know you mean ithis in jest but I just don't feel it.

To be honest it feels to me like GOD abandoned me, my mother, my sister and my godson/nephew. He took my father right from us. He was supposed to retire at 61 (2 years away) and then wed truly be a family; travel, have fun, revel in each others company. Now that is never going to happen. I am extrememly mad and violently angry. My dad started working at a very young age and never stopped. It wasn't fair for him to be taken from us before getting to enjoy life. Religion and god have always been a center point for me, but it is going to be a very long time until I put any more trust back in it, if ever.

I am very pleased that you are getting these kittens. They can be such a blessing. Do yourself and your gf a favor and never give them human food or table scraps. The one thing I hate about Fruity is how much of a begger she is. It is downright annoying. She even nipped my big toe earlier; I gues she may have tasted the sweat on it and decided it was worth a nip. But dang if it didn't hurt; good thing she didn't break the skin, otherwise it would've really hurt.

Yeah, I know. My old cat used to be like that too. My dad used to give him something from the fridge everytime he went to have a snack himself. Though in the big country house there was one plus-side to this. If you ever needed to find the cat, all you had to do was open the fridge and he would be immediatily standing next to you .

Of course it was in jest.

I know this is a rough time for you. I'm hoping to make you laugh even if for just a moment. Don't be angry at God or your father. It's not either's fault. Time heals all wounds or so they say. Try to look at this in a positive way. This was a sign post for a new direction in your life. You won't see it yet but in time you'll understand what happened. A death like this tends to change people. Make it work for you and not against.

If religion and faith in God is so important then it is time to embrace it not push it way. Go to church and talk to your pastor. Have you had grief counseling? Sounds like you need it.

Okay, you managed to get a chuckle out of me with this. Unless Fruity is asleep in another room, she isn't evene that bad. She seems to spend most of her time sitting/sleeping on the the kitchen bar.

Heh, well cats tend to be quite amusing. Another is my mom's new cat. I think she knows that my mom hates it when she's on the kitchen table. Mom always chases her down, but it seems like she's trying to make her mad on purpose 'cause everytime mom turn her back she just climbs back to the table. To be fair, it seems like a good place to lie down. The sun shines on it almost all day .

Thanks for the support Aeson. It really means a lot, especially coming from you. You've been through a lot yourself and deserve better and in my time of need here you are, cheering me on to move past this.

Thing is I knew he wasn't coming home from Albuquerque. And when he called home the two or three times he did, I never picked up the phone to tell him that I missed him or that I loved him.

When my sister came over to tell me and my mom that he was gone, I wasn't shocked, instead I threw a greedy fit. The first words out of my moth were, "Sh*t, just great. I'll never be going to another GenCon." Gaming has always been a refuge for me from the drama of my family. We've been through a lot. Most of it was my dads fault, but he was ours, dammit!

I've been nothing more than a wreck lately though, and thankfully Mandy is in my life. If I didn't have her comforting arms, to be near her, to be able to hold her, I most likely would have put a hole in my bedroom wall by now.

Fruity can be that way sometimes too. My mom will put some kibble on a paper plate, put it in the other room and close the pocket door to get her morning solace. Otherwise Fruity jumps up on the kitchen table and annoys my mom to no end, laying on the paper, demanding some love and attention then when she is full on it will attempt to strike out by either biting or scratching (she still has her back paws). My mom got wiser to this and now does what she does to avoid the cats wrath.
