Please don't do that, Bob. Its been a bad patch, cats (and other lesser
creatures) we care about deeply are sick or missing or having RL hassles.
Things haven't been good in general for RPCAers this week, and I think it
just boiled over.

They say that we take our frustrations out on the ones we love. I think that
that is all this is - we're going through a collective bad patch and are
venting our frustration.

Soon, though, we'll get some good news about the ones we care about, and
somebody will lighten the mood with their kitty's mad antics, and things
will return to their usual state of affairs here. And hopefully we'll
forgive and forget and continue like we always have been. Like a family with
its ups and downs, with the occasional spits and spats, but with an
underlying love and respect for each other. RPCA is family, you don't walk
out on family just because things are a little bit rough for a week or so.

Please don't do that Bob!  You did indeed pick the wrong day.  Everyone got
up in arms... much ado about nothing, as far as I can tell.  Let's everyone
hug a kitty or a goose or a dog or whatever and get a grip.

Oh Bob, please don't leave - we've had a *VERY* bad time of it lately with
life-threatening illnesses, jobs lost, financial problems, housing
problems - you name it we've been faced with it lately.  Everyone is just
really frayed around the edges and it just boiled over for a bit!  It will
calm down again soon.

Hugs,

Human begins are imperfect. Maybe you would rather relax with
a nice book.

PLEASE DON'T GO!!!!  We love you Bob, and love to read about your kitties
and experiences in the fast lane.

You know what?  It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO easy to "mark as read" or ignore
thread, plonk the peeps you don't like yammering about things that are so
silly.  I cannot find the orig. message that caused Tweed to be upset.  And
I don't want to.  I believe that ANYONE who has a cancer scare needs hugs,
purrs, a place to vent and cry and moan and whine and vent again.

I can't believe that this GREAT GROUP should be abandoned for this.  I'm not
familiar with you Bob, but I'm shrugging your post off.  It's YOUR loss atm.
There are so many good stories and things that are so inspirational and/or
funny in here.

RL sucks sometime and I have learned how to deal with it, and accept it, and
be nice and thank God that I have what I have in life.

Get over it and come on in and post away about happiness, cats, purrs, etc.
And, if you have a BAD day, then vent away!!  There are tons of purrs around
the WORLD that work for us.  I'm about to make a GOOD NEWS post and thank
everyone for their purrs because it worked!!!

And...  God made it possible.
