    Well, At Least The Cat’s Back!!

    And so the whine with continues!  If you are new here the back story can been seen here: Where’s Mom?  Basically, the Cliff Notes version is: My Mom passed away on December 29, 2017, her cat Biscuit passed away 12 days later. Mom’s remains still have not arrived.  Mom passed away 24 days ago. But, the cat’s ashes are back. The cat passed away 12 days after my Mom. Of course, because it seems that I can’t catch a break here…… Biscuit’s name is spelled wrong.  But, that made me laugh so, Bisquit stays. Think my Mom is up in heaven sayin’ bes quit bitchin?  Maybe THAT’s why the name…

    Seriously?! Where Is Mom??

    Whine alert. Death is a racket. It’s expensive. It’s heart wrenching. It’s stressful and it sucks ass. My Mom has been gone 3 weeks today. I was so impressed with our Hospice experience through Silverado. The folks there were 100% on their toes. Customer service was amazing. THOUGHTFUL and continual. I never felt alone. On the other hand, I am a million times unimpressed with The Trident Society. They are everything that Silverado is not. Several years ago The Husband and I were approached about cremation services. The Trident Society sent out a representative that made us feel this was the GOLD STANDARD!! The best company to use. We signed up. We…

  • Scruffy Cat Still Lives!!

    This is a post that first published in July 14, 2015. This has to be one of my all time, TOP 10, BEST items I have reviewed. So, I thought it should be printed again.

LORD help us when we are away and don’t take Scruffy Cat with us. Which is why I am posting again. Because only 2.5 years later did it dawn on me to purchase another Scruffy! One for NaNa’s house! Last week was a rough week!! Whatever flu…
