newgirl Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 To Adamjonak thank you for your thread. Your thread was a teachable moment. To Sleighcapatin, Questioning , awakening ,soul searching wanting answers and sometime acting out is all part of "midlife crisis When people feel this way : " What we,in our country, have been calling a mid-life crisis is really a spiritual crisis. If, by the time we reach an age at which we expected to feel content, whether it's thirty, forty, or beyond, we are not living with purpose, meaning and many real moment. we will find ourselves dissatisfied and unfulfilled " Barbara De Angeleis All this will happen : Questioning , an awakening ,soul searching ,wanting answers and sometime acting out 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I returned to college and grad school a bit later too. Hiya @txviking. It's always nice to see new folks here in the 40s thread. @tadkitty I joined AVEN in my 40s, but in a few years I'll be an official member of the 50s thread. @Iamsammie Thanks. I have a few upcoming appointments for more, and some touch-ups. Once I'm done with this round, I'll post some pics. Good luck with your sleeve, I bet it's pretty cool. @newgirl There's fire in your next of the woods, right? The snow seems like a nice break though. I'd post pictures, but they are on my phone at the moment. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BobRossRules Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I had a dentist appointment Friday, and they found a cracked tooth. I didn't even notice it. It's not bad, but I'll need a filling. Nothing like a little nitrous to knock the edge off. Anyway, @Peterson515 I hope you can get your teeth fixed. @newgirl that was me that assumed you lived near the fires not @Iamsammie. Anyway, I hope they die down soon. When I lived in California, we had some close calls. I hope everyone is having a nice weekend! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
newgirl Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 Did you ever go to you high school prom? I didn't because I didn't have a date or had the guts to go by myself but...... I found out they have Adult Proms 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
argar Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 They do? Hmm, I did go to one once, but it was at the person's high school not mine. It was an okay experience. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daveb Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I never went to prom. If I had I would've secretly wanted to wear a prom dress. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maximum Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I bought a dress, but did not go to prom. It was enough to wear a dress as a debutant within the same year. I ended up wearing my "prom" dress for Boo at the Zoo years later. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BobRossRules Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I had no idea they had adult proms. I went while in high school. Not really my thing. I'd been happier hanging out with my friends and having some pizza. Now it that means hanging out with my dogs, cats, and Netflix. Pizza can still be part of the equation. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't interested dancing, romance, sex or drinking, so I didn't see any reason to go. I still avoid bars and clubs for the same reasons (unless I'm there to see a band or something like that). 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think the methadone was worse on my teeth than the heroin. I've been on subs for 7 years without a hiccup, so that particular hell is over, but Medicaid doesn't cover the kind of dental care I need - which by now would probably be almost complete upper and lower implants. So I just clean as gently as I can and - just as you said - go into crisis mode for a few weeks every time another one cracks.

newgirl Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Sorry about the rambling but I'm heartbroken ,have been crying and I need to write.. This is about facing death. How do you let go of a soul who loves you unconditionally and this soul is with you good, bad and ugly. This soul just wants love from you. How do you say to this soul. I know you are in pain or certain age but my selfish self wants you to stay and I can't let you go. I'm not talking about a parent,sibling,grandparent, ,cousin ,aunt,uncle or friend.i'm talking about another one of life creation ,the animal on this earth My sister 16 year old pug has started to have seizures this week. He already has cataract and arthritis but he still eating. Me and my family know this doesn't look good and we now have to face the "D" word. I know to some, It's only a dog so what. To me, Simba the Pug and any dog is a soul just like any human on this earth. While everybody is celebrating New Year Eve this weekend. My sister might have to decide to put her dog to sleep or Simba will make that decision(I pray the second option). This will be my second time going through a dog death. My family had to put to sleep our 12 year old chow in 2007 due to him screaming in pain from infection, and not eating . . People, I'm heartbroken because I have 2 chihuahua 12 years old and 5 years old and this is very hard. very hard. Sorry about the post but I don't want to think right now.

Facing the prospect of the death of a beloved pet is a hard thing to do. For most pets and pet owners it is an unfortunate fact of life, given that most pets have shorter life spans than most humans. The best we can do is to make sure the pet has a good quality of life, doesn't suffer too much in the end, and is remembered fondly afterwards. Take care of yourself, too. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobRossRules Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 @newgirl I'm so sorry. My heart goes out for you. An animal's and pet's life is just as valuable as human's. My pets are my life and I value them more than most humans. I've lost several throughout my life. It sucks their life is so short. Please take care. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
newgirl Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 Update: Simba the pug is in post ictal seizure phase right now and his health watch is day by day. Simba is fighting and still eating his food. We think his childhood seizure has came back after 15 years of no seizure. Because of NYE holiday , we won't get his blood work results until Tuesday.

newgirl Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Update: SAD TO ANNOUNCE Jan 2nd 2018 Simba the pug pass away in his sleep early this morning California time. He was 16 years old when his body transition from this earth. He was LOVE by his mom (my big sister) ,me , his grandmother my mom, my brother and my two chihuahua Mozzy and Chewy his cousin. Simba was a lover not a fighter dog. He loved to eat food and play with his cousin Mozzy and Chewy . When Simba was a puppy he suffer from seizure and the vets recommend my sister put him down at 6 month old but Simba the pug prove those doctor wrong . Simba's seizure stop when he turn 1 year old. Well after a 15 year gap,Simba's seizure return Dec 26th 2017 . I guess Simba tired body couldn't fight the seizure and deal with the medication this time. Simba the Pug thank you for coming into our lives and loving our family, our family loves you and now it's time for you to join Mama, and Malik the chow in heaven. (blow a kiss). Mama and Malik take care of Simba until we all meet again "I Wish You Heaven" by Prince (A song I dedicate to Malik when he died in 2007 and now Simba) "For your every touch, IThank you so muchFor your every kiss, I I wish you loveI wish you heavenI wish you heaven" Simba the Pug 2001-2018 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
