Family; we share your relief and share in your grief.

Not much more to say my friend, you can
always PM me should you ever need to !

Your little brother loves his puppy's too !
 
Having him at peace is comfort for the soul.. my condolences to you and yours!

Steady, I'm sure a kindred spirit like Friskles will find it's way to you soon!
 
Steady, I feel the pain and also the sense of knowing you made the right decision. I lost one of my 2 guys a year ago through traumatic sudden onset of a fatal blood clot. I won't go into details but they were horrifying, he was already irreversibly dying when I found him, and it was a mercy to him to expedite the process with the caring family vet.
 
Steady, you have my deepest sympathy in the loss of your little friend, and I want to thank you and everyone else for the kind words when I lost my wonderful cat. (Say hello to Ella from my dog Audrey). Here is a nice site and a beautiful thought.http://rainbowsbridge.com/Poem.htm Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown...

Beautifully written..But next time you write something like this, please insert a TISSUE ALERT at the beginning..sniff...I don't like my co-workers seeing me cry.:(
 
Very Beautiful Thoughts - and much appreciated. I'm probably weird and very unique in the way I view the after life, because it's changed so much over the years as I come to understand the Universe and Life on our planet more fully.

In a nutshell I feel the Universe itself is like one big life with all the elements and energy in play - keeping and maintaining a balance. Our planet has a life of its own - that animals are a billion times more in touch with than humans, and recent research has expanded on this quite a bit in showing how animals are able to detect and avoid huge natural disasters. But animals clearly have unique spirits and personalities (like humans) and most of us realize how incredibly they are in touch with our spirits, personalities, and life. They are like the ultimate radar into the core of our being - and the core of our being is beautiful - wonderful - pure - wholesome - and somehow they remind us of that deep inner truth beyond most people in our lives.

So in my overall perception - I expect the subsequent world to be similar to our own - much as was described below; beyond them being fully whole and complete I believe the Lion will play with the Lamb and the balance will be perfect.

Thank you all once again
 
Steady, I'm sorry for your loss, but happy for the sense of peace you gained from the experience. I don't write on the MB very often, but I too suffered the loss of a beloved pet "Sister Mary Margaret". She was part of our life for 15 yrs. She was the pet of my best friend and priest, Fr Isaac and came to our home four yrs before he passed away, as he could no longer care for her. She has been a strong connection, for me, to him for the last 1 1/2 yrs since his passing. But the last three mos. she started losing appetite and wgt. to the point I knew I had to let her go two days ago. I'm at peace no too as I know Sister, the nun cat, has been reunited with her beloved master Fr Isaac. Thanks for allowing me to share this with all of you on the MB who I know understand the love of animas.--Ron
 
If it should be....
If it should be that I grow frail and weak,
and pain should keep me from my sleep,
then you must do what must be done,
for we know this last battle can't be won.

You will be sad, I understand,
but don't let grief then stay your hand,
for this day, more than the rest,
your love and friendship must stand the test.

We've had so many happy years,
what is to come can hold no fears.
Would you want me to suffer? So,
when the time comes, please let me go.

Take me where my needs they'll tend,
only stay with me until the end,
and hold me firm and speak to me,
until my eyes no longer see.

It is a kindness that you do to me,
although my tail it's last has waved,
from pain and suffering I have been saved.

Do not grieve, it should be you,
who must decide this thing to do.
We've been so close, we two these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.


Steady, I'm sorry for your loss but I understand the peace you've found. I've had this experience more than once over the years and it doesn't get any easier. I know they're all waiting at Rainbow Bridge. Old soul that you are, you know this too, all life is part of the greater universe. In this, religion and science are one - whether it be called mind, soul, or matter.
 
That poem is so touching! It expresses what we've all experienced. I've shared it with family and friends. Thanks for sharing it with us!:)

Right now I'm totally at a loss - not because of Friskie - but from losing something a thousand times deeper. Somehow I need to learn to become something that I'm not - something different altogether and I have no idea how long it will take or where to start. I have been totally and completey "a heart person" - and usually when my heart is on fire and I'm full of life - then I naturally throw this out to all around me. Also when someone dear to me is hurting in some way then I'm way too inclined to pour out everything. But I can't do this anymore - it's so strange being in this situation but I no longer have a choice. I guess everyone needs some time to mend - a time to reflect - a time to heal - and that's where I'm at now.

So I'll try to finish up the story over the weekend. We are in the process of cleaning up this country - getting our own house fixed up and in order - and then we'll deal with our neighbors.

Anyway - these are beautiful testimonies that the treasures of our hearts are far above the other treasures.

Thank you all again - my sincerest love and gratitude.
 
Good morning my dear little brother.

I'm on my way for the "morning cup of coffee" and hopefully will be able to avoid the site until late this afternoon.

I enjoy the family of wonderful friends - but watching the charts too closely is the last thing I need.

Anyway - GL everyone - and let's hope an upward trend continues.
 
HI there big bro's!

Steady, don't watch the charts, just hang out and chill with us! :cool:

Well, I wait around the train station
Waitin' for that train
Waitin' for the train, yeah
Take me home, yeah
From this lonesome place
Well, now a while lotta people put me down a lotta changes
My girl had called me a disgrace

The tears burnin'
Tears burnin' me
Tears burnin' me
Way down in my heart
Well, you know it's too bad, little girl,
it's too bad
Too bad we have to part (have to part)

Gonna leave this town, yeah
Gonna leave this town
Gonna make a whole lotta money
Gonna be big, yeah
Gonna be big, yeah
I'm gonna buy this town
I'm gonna buy this town
An' put it all in my shoe
Might even give a piece to you
That's what I'm gonna do,
what I'm gonna do,
what I'm gonna do
 
Luv2read,
Thank you so much!! :)

Sarah, who graduated recently with top honors in teaching English as a Second Language got her degree to teach K - 12.

She spent her summers working at a Mennonite Outreach Center called SWAP (Serving with Appaliancian People) in Harlan, KY; where different groups came on a weekly basis to fix up homes. It is amazing how much each group accomplished.

Well the leaders talked Sarah into devoting her first year out of school to another Center with worldwide outreach. So tomorrow she'll head out to an orientiation to prepare her for a year in South Korea - to teach English as a second language. She had to raise her own money for this commitment - but the outpouring from her church at the college, our home church, the school, extended family, and friends was overwhelming. She will make $2 dollars a day - but this should be one of the most enriching experiences of her life and I'm thrilled for her.

My wife was crying this morning and Emily and Carrie were crying last night. So this is going to be a very emotional - stressful time - and there is a lot of work that needs to be done today. Fortunately as a man - it is easier for me - maybe our faulty wiring is an advantage sometimes?? Well please keep them in your prayers.

*********************************************************

The following is from Tom's Commentary this morning:

So while it is a slight positive that the Nasdaq could be leading the way up, the head and shoulders pattern is quite clean and we'll want to watch how that plays out. If the pattern continues, the right shoulder should start sloping down now. If it doesn't, my bullish radar detector should start beeping.

I especially enjoy Tom's input because it seems so solid and non biased. He is willing to admit that things could point to worser times ahead - but fortunately he appears very optimistic about an emerging "BULL MARKET" and the evidence for that appears good so far. So this is a wonderful way to end the week.


 
Day Chart Analysis:​


Strength has been consistent throughout the day:​

volume will pick up and will end higher.:laugh:​


This is just the opposite of 8/4 when I bought additional shares :D​
 
Ladies and Gentlemen,

Please fasten your seat-belts as we are in some turbulence.

Please note that the C and I winds are pushing their craft rapidly towards the bottom.

The F wind is still struggling to gain an upward momentum.

The S wind is the only one that has risen so high that even a downward turn still has the craft well maintained at 24,000 feet.

Weather patterns are sporatic - and can be dangerous - but the higher you are the better off you'll be.
