@lovendures. Oh man, I just watched the film about his life, and how he was trying to make a comeback. Will send prayers.
I hope its OK to request a prayer for a pet here. I've spent most of the day today at the vet's office. My cat is 13 years old and is one of the best comforting spirits I have ever known. I've been through some serious health issues in the last several years and she has been this little light of pure love through all of it. In the last few days, she has been having a lot of difficulty...not eating, having trouble with bathroom and constantly sick. Our regular vet was booked up and it took part of the day just getting someone who could fit her in. We had to go a few cities south and she does not like traveling in the car so that was traumatic for us and her. It was also really hard due to covid stuff not being able to be with her during the exams and tests. We have her back now on a 24 hour watch to see if the treatments helped or if she needs more. I've been saying prayers for what is best for her to happen. So if you don't mind, I would greatly greatly appreciate any healing or peaceful prayers for her. I don't know how things will turn out for her but I just want what will be the best for her. She is someone really special and is a big big part of my family.
@liln22 totally understand how you feel ❤️ about your cat, and i will be praying for her. Please keep us posted on her progress.
@lovendures @jeanne-mayell this may sound harsh, but i have to say it: i will pray for Tiger Woods to become a more conscious person. I don't care whether he ever plays golf again, and can't understand why his car crash is national news. Sports in general are a negative influence, because of the emphasis on competition, vs. cooperation. Golf, in particular, has been disastrous for the environment, as well as being a favorite pastime of highly negative people. When Mr. Woods accepted the (now debased) Presidential Medal of Freedom, he chose to place himself in the same company as war criminals, mass murderers, and Rush Limbaugh. Tiger had as much "freedom" to refuse the shiny object being passed out by that Fascist as Dolly Parton did. And she did refuse it. Twice.

@unk-p, no worries. I watched the Tiger Movie, and that's the extent of my Tiger knowledge. He always looked like a tortured soul to me, even when he was able to perform like the gods.
@liln22 I am praying for your kitty. I know how painful it is when a pet is sick. @unk-p helped me through the most painful pet issue I've ever had and I will always be grateful to him for that. I hope my prayers will help you and your sweet spirit kitty. I see the vet handled her with great tenderness and she knows you love her.
No problem Unk.
I agree with you on the environmental damages from golf courses. I am not a fan.
Our culture trends to idolize people which is a shame and we build them up into something they are not. At the same time it is difficult to live your life under a microscope for the world to observe with every mistake you make a wide open book.
I would not wish the type of accident he had upon anyone. It is national news because he is one of the greatest golf players of all time, like him or not. Also, it is a year from what happened to Kobe and people worried he might have had the same fate.
I wish him a full recovery and hope he will not be in the type of pain he has dealt with for many years.
@liln22, I am so sorry. I can imagine the stress you must have felt seeing her ill and then having to find someone to care. The traveling only makes the situation worse for you and her.
I'm sitting here now sending her as much love and healing as I can. Do you have a picture or a description of her? I'd love to know more about this precious soul. ❤️ I understand the intense bond you can share with a loved one that isn't human. It is just as important.
@unk-p, I agree. I do not wish him harm, but it seems he is not the best of humans. I remember when his affair came out and the impact it had on his wife. It was so public and humiliating. He always seems uncaring of other people. Then again, power and wealth corrupts, or so they say. I hope he has or will learn to be a better man.
@ lovendures, I feel the same way as you do about Tiger Woods and about golf courses. And I realize that when I wish people ill, I am in a mental space of pushing back upon events, policies, behaviors that have hurt me or others. It's difficult to see my subjective response when I am in in that space. It's a battle we are having within ourselves. But when someone is suffering, especially someone who has apologized for his behavior and accepted blame, I wish them healing. I wish him to heal and not to suffer.
@liln22, Prayers for you cat. I know how much our "furry kids" mean to us (and how much we mean to them for that matter). We have worked with an animal communicator named Terri O'Hara in the past and she has been able to give us some wonderful and comforting insights.
@jeanne-mayell @lovendures i hope i didn't come across as wishing anyone ill. I want him to recover and be well, just as much as i do for all of the thousands of other people who had accidents that day.
@unk-p Mea culpa. Your distaste of Tiger and golf triggered how I feel about people who piss me off, but I don't have any hard feelings about Tiger, who always looked so sad to me. One side of my family is hugely in love with golf, and I always balked from that. And I don't like golf courses. I even wrote an op-ed piece in our local paper several decades ago clobbering our local country club and their precious polluting golf course, which would have had my father rolling over in his grave. I don't write that kind of attacking columns anymore. But I wanted you to know that I agree about the negative effects of the golf world.
Of course you wouldn't wish Tiger ill. You save baby opossums.
Of course you wouldn't wish Tiger ill. You save baby opossums.
OMG! That is the best memory!
I agree with Jeanne.
@Unk-p, You care deeply about so many. I know you wish all people and animals good will. May good come from his accident and from all accident which happened that day and all days.
I knew what you really meant and that you would never wish anyone harm. I think what irks you is what many of us don't always talk about - is that the news these days tends to be just a way for many of the networks or news orgs to make money and sensationalism. I will definitely pray for Tiger, his prognosis on his legs is not good, he broke two legs and shattered his ankle. That doesn't bode well for his golf career. But perhaps the Universe wants him to do something else with his life now? We shall see.
Going back to the point, if we could all imagine a world where news organizations only told us about important news and threw in some positive ways we could all affect one another can you imagine what our world would be like? Instead of what (for example only) Kim Kardashian or someone else had for dinner or did that day, it would be focused on important things and people who were making a difference. If that were the way our country was I bet the former occupier of the White House would never have been there to begin with.
@liln22 I will pray for your kitty! It wasn't until I had my own pet years ago (my dog Ibbles) that I realized how they were family too. ??
? ? ? ?
@unk-p @jeanne-mayell @moonbeam @journeywithme2 @paul-w @triciact thank you and everyone else who kept my cat Cinna in your prayers too!!! I truly believe they helped both her and our family who love her. We made it through the 24 hour watch and she is doing better so I'm cautiously optimistic. We still have another week of medicine (which she does not like!) and a follow up appointment. However, last night she finally ate a full meal and kept it down so I can breath abit again. To top things off, her carrier and travel stuff was in our garage and the cold weather warped our door and it was stuck. I ended up having to go get another carrier before we could take her in and was just thing after thing. She really is a sweetheart. Each night before I go to bed, she jumps up on the bed, looks me in the eye and then flops sideways so she can be caught in a hug. She often will come lay her head on my shoulder and just snuggle up. When I was away for some weeks in the hospital a few years ago, she wouldn't hardly eat or come out to anyone. When I got home and was on a walker to get around, she would walk with me up and down the hallway to make sure I got everywhere OK. She just truly is special soul. Thank you all again. She is doing better but we are taking one day at a time until we get through this next journey with her. ❤️
@liln22 that is so great to read. ❤️ Sometimes cats become even more amazing than they already are. I call it a 'soul-cat' ? an extra special link when an animal is so tuned into you (and you into them) that they understand and comfort you as if they were a human friend. Losing them is like somebody tears off a piece of your soul.
I am rooting for you and Cinna. We need a win on this forum when it comes to sick cats. ❤️ Go Cinna!
@liln22. Will continue to hold you and yours in prayer for continued improvement and recovery. As a vet tech for 30 years... most of mine are special needs and others throwaways. It can be such a dichotomy of heartbreak and incredible joy and connection.
Cinna bon bon ( I always nicknamed my patients LOL ) I am rooting for you 100% and more! Sending you special healing Light of pink, green and purple ribbons inter- swirled and wrapping you in it.
@unk-p, no worries. I watched the Tiger Movie, and that's the extent of my Tiger knowledge. He always looked like a tortured soul to me, even when he was able to perform like the gods.
Tiger always looked "lost" to me--- even at the height of his success.
This is not an urgent request but - this whole week I've been running our statewide conference virtually. On Tuesday evening I ended up in the ER - trying to teach my daughter how open a can of spaghetti for my daughters to heat up in-between sessions, I grabbed the stalled lid and pulled - a stupid decision but one made in the moment. I elected the medical glue instead of stitches because I'm a baby, but my finger is really messed up. I almost sliced the whole tip off!
My career as an international finger model is over. But anyone who is willing to send some healing energy to the finger to continue healing and not experience any infection, I'd love to accept that light.
Again, NOT an emergency. Just a request for those with the desire.
I was trying NOT to be that dad who went viral and made his 9 year old figure out the can opener herself :P
