I love PhiPhi ! Having just watched Lincoln and Philippe Fleuries employ their myriad skills and design tastes compared to useless snorts, Fanny is living the Divine Comedy in choosing such a purposeless dilettante/leech as her partner, mired in the grifting murk together. He is Fanny's punishment and denouement. Stephony surrendered to her fate when supposedly first encountering the useless 'creature' Sept 2020. Stupid, Stupid girl.
Happy birthday Lochy, you've had a year, I hope the next is better . I used your b'day as an excuse to have a couple of

Thank you for the encouragement! When my husband got up, I went over my plan and he agreed with it. I called the surgical group, explained our situation, they got him an appointment for tomorrow at 10:15 a.m.! They said it was a good idea to bring him in for a consultation and depending on what is decided, they had one opening for surgery on Wednesday morning. My regular vet and this ER vet group were both called by this surgical group, Merlin's records and all images have been sent, so we're ready to go!
We spent all day with him and came home around 6:00 p.m. He was 100% himself, except he wouldn't/couldn't pee. By 4:00 pm, he still had not urinated, his bladder was getting full and he had to be catheterized again. On top of it, he now has a UTI, which he didn't have until today, possibly due to the excess catheterizations. He finally ate, it was as if someone had given him a few puffs of whacky weed because he had two helpings of food - side effect of the anesthesia, which is great, because he can't eat after 11:00 pm tonight. We could be in much worse shape (not that I'm tempting the gods!).
I'm the type of person who needs to constantly move forward - I'm not controlling, but I can't sit idle and wait for things to crash around me, particularly when I have good reason to suspect they are going to crash, without a plan A, B, and C. I have to see where I'm going in order to make today a good day. As long as I know what the next step is and can plan for it, I can usually keep moving. So once the appointment for tomorrow was scheduled, I felt lighter and able to move forward. My sweet boy is on his way to relief, whatever that means for him medically.
Thank you all again for your words of encouragement and support. We care about one another here and I am most grateful!

What a bleeping child!!! He is scared of EVERTHING! Was he raised in a box???For the first time ever, I can’t judge Phiphi… I feel exactly like this on a Ferris wheel
I hate them so much and the last time I went on one, my ex made me do it! He’s so spot on about the noise it make being terrifying
Damn! I have something in common with Herbert!

Okay, I am going to throw a flag on the play and call BS. At the end of the vlog, Fanny stated all she wanted to do was have a lie down, but Snorts and she intended to drive 4 hours south, and stop at a little motorway hotel for the night on their way back to LaLande because tomorrow they are having the Shitoo Christmas party. After consulting with the "Maps of Googlie", it is a 5 1/2 hour drive (and Fanny has remarked on multiple occasions that Snorts has a lead foot, so they could probably make it there in a little over 5 hours.). So riddle me this, why would one even stop for the night an hour or hour and a half away from home to stay at a motorway hotel? I'm not buying it.

Awww that poor cat! I am a crazy cat lady and my favorite fellow, Master Chief,( my boys named him
) was a Maine Coon and had urinary issues. He lived until he was 19. I feel for you guys. Looks like you have your ducks in a row for future treatment! Good thoughts going up for you.
He is a beautiful fellow.

I was thinking the very same thing @Karma baby! It's the first time I can sympathise with him.
Mr GM wanted to go on the Ferris wheel at Luna Park in Melbourne (this was years ago but it feels like yesterday). There was only a horizontal barrier at the front of the cabin thingy and I gripped it for dear life. As we reached the top he said, look at the view, look at the view. I was absolutely rigid with my head down. It was spectacular sight . . . a full moon shining on the horizon over Port Phillip Bay, but I could barely raise my head.
On the way down, I kept thinking, this will be over soon, this will be over soon. Then at the bottom, we kept going back up again. Apparently, I yelled out, noooooo.
When we finally got off I realised I had gripped the 'safety barrier' so tightly, I had nail marks on my palms.

My husband is like you, he hates rides, no matter how tame. I am the complete opposite - or I was, until what I'm about to tell you happened! My husband says he doesn't trust people who man these rides - I'll refrain from saying what he calls them, but he says that there's no way he's letting his life be in the hands of some of these people. We were at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA for a work trip. I coerced my husband to get on some ride, I can't remember what it was, not a roller coaster, but something where you spin around and go up and down - it was tame, I promise, nothing fast, just spinning around and see-sawing up and down. Sort of like a horizontal ferris wheel. Wouldn't you know it, we got stuck at the very top, at a very awkward angle. I thought my husband was going to lose his mind! We were stuck for two hours! He just looked at me and said "no good deed goes unpunished". We never went on a ride again!I was thinking the very same thing @Karma baby! It's the first time I can sympathise with him.

My brother is a mechanical engineer and he would not go on any rides, no matter what. He only says “if you knew how hard is it to maintain these machines and how no one actually does it properly, you would never go on a ride either”…
I am surprisingly more chill on gondolas. I used to love Sea to Sky gondola, the short hike at the top is lovely in summer and the view is to die for… but then some psycho went ahead and sabotaged it TWICE and caused the cord to be severed and cabins to fall…
never again!

Oh you are so right Abuela!
Fanny looked like a sad old middle aged Squirrel with a ton of Grifting Nuts in her huge cheeks blabbing on and on and trying to be Cute!!!

There is absolutely nothing cutesy about Fanny. Fanny wore the damn ear muffs because she thinks they make her look younger. She just looks stupid. It makes sense that the label on Fanny's touque says 'GRANS' as in Granny!
I can only imagine Snorty's parents introducing their son and his aging 'finance' to people. Instead Snorty should just say, "I have 2 mummy's". Nobody would question him and it's much more plausible and easy to understand than introducing Fanny as his finace.

Happy Birthday! I hope it's fabulous!I was amused by Amanda focusing on this bust at the brocunt she visited recently…I think she had Fanny’s recent purchase in mind.
Snorts should be advertising the Foreo instead of Fanny, that would be fun.
Why does Viv give them masks each time they visit.}
I have decided this coming year will be my year of renovations, both my house and me. I’m 61 today. My knees are creaking along with my waistband!
Welcome to the 61 club! December babies are the best! Fact!

Makes me wonder what rides Snorty rode during his trip to EuroDisney with his Bubblegirl. It seems only little kiddie rides like 'It's a Small World and the Tea Cup would be suitable for his sensitive constitution. Oh, I would enjoy watching Snorty spew apple sauce and mushy peas all over the other riders.
