**** you.

That's quite an overreaction to a very common (and totally harmless) joke
about short
snouted mutts.

First of all, Maggie isn't a mutt. Secondly, a lot of small dogs like
her have a lot of problems breathing. So far, she has had to have hip
surgery, and almost died twice in one year. SHe is only four years old,
and more than her share of problems.

If I made ANY joke about cats, every cat lover on the group would be
up in arms, and calling me names. Like I said, they can have all the
cats they want, but I don't want them around me. A feral cat has
scratched the paint off a steel door several times, till I had to get
down on my hands and knees to sand, prime and repaint it. Then I had to
deal with sores caused by that for months. I am quickly reaching the
point where I despise cats. The little *******s hiss and try to scratch
me on my swollen legs, so I throw things at them to run them off before
I get another cut from their claws. With diabetes, a scratch can cost me
a leg.

A neighbor a few doors down has a full grown cat that walks out into
the street and lays down in front of moving cars. I have hit the brakes
for the last time.

Maybe we were better off in your promised yet short-lived self banishment,
if that's
the best you can behave.

I never said that I was leaving forever. I said I had to leave, but
never set any time period.

I took a nasty fall down some stairs, and it looked like I was about
to lose one, or both legs. I am in pain around the clock, and I have a
short temper right now. I haven't slept for more than a few hours at a
time in over a year, and am to the point I can barely use my left hand.
My sense of humor is shot to hell right now. I have people demanding
one thing after another, and they don't like it when I tell them I can't
help them.

My legs have shown some improvement, but only because I stopped
listening to the doctors. I am down to five small sores, form over 50,
but only because I did the exact opposite of what I was told. I am
still so weak that I can barely walk, and it is driving me nuts.

Michael seems to be suffering from quite a few health problems. Is
Michael the only participant in this group that is suffering from
various problems? Reading the group I get that impression, do most
people that encounter problems with their health drop out of the group,
while Michael has decided to tough it out?
