    Dang.

    This morning the lovely roommate/wife of 30 years awakened me, 5:25AM and asked me to euthanize the cat.

    Poor 16 y/o kitty has looked terrible of late.
    Stopped eating.
    Skinny.
    This morning, mewing incessantly, unable to stand, incontinent on the kitchen Saltillo.

    Poor thing.
    This is the inevitable outcome of an 8 year old daughter bringing home a cute kitten a long 16 years ago.

    So, what's a dutiful husband to do but.............

    Sorry, but this IS a rant forum, right.
    Gotta' testify in front of a jury tomorrow!
    Long long day ending here in the hot tub with a little Mcallen trying not to dunk my Macbook Air!!!
    G'nite. Rant, rant, rant.

    We have gone through the same thing a couple of times. My wife still talks about them. She really bonds with her cats.

    My condolences man. That is always hard but necessary. We don't want our loved ones to suffer.

    Sorry to hear that. Worse thing I ever woke up to has to be a tie between a motar landing on our chu in Iraq, or the time my friend Ryans sister crawled into my bed. 50/50 toss up.

    Worst thing I woke up to happened right after Christmas a year ago. My plane had gotten in late and they left my bag in denver and I had to drive to a jobsite in another state in a few hours. I drove home but my truck got stuck in the snow pissin distance from my garage the snow was just too deep. In the morning my bosses boss helped me get it in the garage and we started driving in a real bad blizzard. I was just about asleep in the back when I heard F***!!! we ran into a car. Awhile later we got rear ended by an suv and there was about a dozen total vehicles involved, but luckily out of all of em the worst injury was a sore neck.

    After filling out paperwork we all went back out the next day

    PS after experiencing that I will never own a car we nicked it with the corner of the grill guard and it exploded. When we got rear ended by an SUV the bumper was messed up but the truck was otherwise whole.

    Police officer pounding on our door at at 4am. He was on a domestic violence call and about kicked the door in before I got it. Turned out he had the right apartment number but needed to be at the neighboring complex.

    My worst thing was my GF's ex-husband breaking into my garage about 1am.
    My GSD puppy heard him, & woke me up.

    Freaky Gothic girl. She was cute but a basket case. Always had thing for me and I let it go on for years. Finally she knocked on my window one night and I let her in. Started doing her thing on me and then stabbed me in the thigh with a Swiss army knife. Took everything I had not to slit her throat with it. Went to the hospital and got lots of stiches.

    I met one like that too, made the mistake of taking her to a friends house, she started talking to his wife.....

    I was going to say, "Pics...or it didn't happen!", but...nevermind ;) Your teaser headline was image-provoking, that's for sure!

    Not the worst; but, possibly the strangest...Had a foot rebuilt and three screws installed and headed home one fine day in '03. DW slept in the guest room so as not to interfere with my rest(or hers). At precisely 5AM, I awoke to the bed rocking back and forth as though someone were fervently trying to wake me...I mean really rocking! I turned on the light, checked the clock and wondered if a truck had run into the house! No sign of DW, so I groggily went back to sleep. A couple of hours later, the news reported a rather large earthquake had hit north Georgia and our north Atlanta home must have been in the "zone". Our 50 year old house had cracks where there had never been cracks before! Glad the 110-foot pines surrounding the house all stayed vertical ! I would have had a heck of a time trying to RUN to safety !!! :)

    I chuckled.

    But I never would have posted it. You're a bad person.
