Now I really did it :((

Hi, missy. I have been back to Pricescope a few times because I was visiting the fragrance forum and I didn't see your usual (omnipresent) presence. I finally did a search on your name, which at one time in Pricescope history would have have been an unthinkable need for anyone to do if he wanted to find you.

I haven't read or posted on your thread for many years, since you were first injured. I always felt I could keep up with your news because you were so active in the other Pricescope fora.

Now that I read the MIA quotation and I have glanced at this thread (I hope to look into it since you are doing your posting here), I see that there has been a sea change in your relationship to Pricescope.

There has been in mine, too. I used to be on Pricescope every day for years. I never had any negative feelings about Pricescope and never had any conflict with the owners or administration. Sometimes I have seen my username invoked when a poster or poster wants to advocate for political posting on Pricescope. I do not believe I ever did that. I still love Pricescope and come back for the holiday (Christmas) music thread and Karl's 9/11 thread every year. Now and then I pop in for another reason. I have been enjoying the fragrance thread and just met @pearlsngems in person. She is the first Pricescoper I ever met in real life!

But for the past five years I have spent a lot of time on a site that exists for political debate. My political worldview is such that looking the world straight in the eye is not pleasant and sometimes I don't know if I can keep it up. I want to shut off the television and not read any news.

But no one came here to hear about me. I am going to go back and see what I can piece together about your life. When we last spoke, you were in a dire situation with your kitties.

Hugs,
Deb (AGBF)

And as soon as we get back I spend a lot of time with Bobby hugging him and petting him and loving him. I feel his time with us is drawing near and I am very sad about that. I still cry over Tommy daily (yesterday was the 6 month anniversary of his death) and then of course start thinking about Francesca (6 year anniversary of her death was last week) and Fred and Butch, Buster, Billy and it does make my heart heavy. I take solace in the fact they were all rescues and we gave them the best life possible after rescuing them from the streets and rescue groups. But still. I wish so hard that our furry babies lived longer. Thanks for letting me share. I miss them so....

Dear missy,

I am sorry to read that Tommy did die. I am glad that you and Greg are able to give Bobby a lot of time and care. I have not gotten over the death of my last dog, Hero. My two attempts at getting another dog-neither made until more than a year after his death- didn't work out. I am not trying to rush into anything. I want to be sure I will be around or have someone else reliable around-if I take on another dog.

What bothers me so much about Hero, who was a scarred and abused rescue, was how short a life he had getting cancer and a bad heart at only six. Like you, I can only take solace that I gave him a wonderful life. I had an acquaintance once say that he wanted to die and come back back as one of my dogs.

Your cats are the most loved animals on earth. (Along with my dogs, of course.)

Hugs,
Deb
