Ahhh... now that is quite a good point about loss. Bravo. Fireplace and pipe pondering material, there, that is. 

Is Rahz short for something? Is there a story behind your moniker?

Good end point for such contemplations depending on what the subject matter is.

He's a good friend. Couple years younger so we didn't hang out in high school but we were drinking/smoking buddies and tennis partners in my 20s. He got married and has moved about an hour from me to the big city. He is a tier 2 IT technician for a major county and has two kids so we don't see each other that often but we still talk on the phone a couple times a month.

Not a godfather either. I just brought up kids as the reason we don't hang out more often. I still drive to his place occasionally and we'll get some eats and hang out.

Oh well, so much for my reading romanctic implications implicit in 'Alive again' versus 'Dead, Gone, Forgotten'

It was about a personal loss I took badly. About a human, but I have struggled with cat loss in the past.

I did have two cats. I got Alex and Betsy in 2010. Betsy had mites and I was naive about getting cats from a shelter checked out. Betsy passed away after a week at the emergency vet. I went back and got another cat. I decide to wait to name her until I knew she was going to live (I did take her to the vet), and called her Little Girl. That ended up being her name. She was not quite right, a little unsteady. Very quiet, would open her mouth to meow but no sound would come out. She was my favorite. Passed away suddenly in 2015 on Thanksgiving day. I was distraught. It was like my soul had left my body and was replaced by coldness. That lasted about 6 months, until I met a human who cheered me up.

I think people often feel like they're dying or dead from personal loss.

Something occurred to me about "dead, gone, forgotten". I want to say that was a more selfish version of me, feeling sorry for myself, unwilling or unable to let go of something that was gone. But thinking about it more, perhaps it is more selfish to more easily let go of something that is gone. Maybe selfish isn't the right word, or maybe selfish in itself doesn't say much about qualities.

And you are correct about the sig implication, alive again was related to the individual involved in the previous sig. I broke things off with her last December.

:cookiemonster:

Still feel alive though.

Sorry to hear about Little Girl.

My wife just got a new puppy this weekend. Very tiny, barks when she wants attention. "Cupcake"

Pets do increase life quality, decrease stress, and help one to live longer.

Maybe you'll be ready again someday for a new little friend for around the house.

I adopted a 14 year old blind cat who is now 15 and a half. If he isn't there to greet me when I get home I often joke if he's still alive.

He's my little retired couch potato who I will always have fond memories of. I suppose it's almost like fostering an animal, knowing you may only have them around a few months. At least with a cat like mine, I know he could still have a few good years in him.

And the convenience of his being potty trained by day 1, and able to communicate his needs, and be comfortable and used to being in a home while I'm away was good. Plus the blindness reduces any guilt of having him as an indoor cat because I know he can't survive outside and it's cute when he boops the walls, but only generally in new places. Is pretty weird to be able to wave my hands an inch infront of his eyes and have 0 reaction.
