What really ticks you off?

[ittekimasu]

God damn it Kyle reading that pisses me off. I can't believe your mother would do such a bad thing like that the pound or giving it away would have been much easier to forgive than do something as unmoral as putting down some animal because it becomes an inconvience. I would personally have a difficult time forgiving or even supressing my anger if that were to happen to me, even thinking about it is enough to get teary eyed

Two things annoy me. First, hackers in COD4 on the PS3. It sucks. Second, I might need an HDMI cable so I ask my cousin, he got one with his PS3 at Christmas. He would have no idea what it does and I know he doesn't need it/can't use it. He then obviously lies and says "I think I may have sold it", then says he doesn't know where it is etc. Which annoys me because I have given him an ethernet cable and some PC games without asking anything in return. There's no reason why he shouldn't give me the cable. And I tell him it's not worth much and he says "Then why don't you go buy one"? He didn't buy an ethernet cable, got me to give me one, even asked heaps for it. Then I finally got a spare and gave it to him. And he even lost the discs for my PC game which I asked for the other day. Maybe I should stop giving stuff away.

I just wanted to thank you all for the support. It might sound stupid, but it means a lot to me, just to hear people who feel that the whole act was a really low, low, low one.

I can't understand how someone who was meant to care about me go behind my back like that, just to make a situation better for a pregnant woman. Because, no matter how I look at it, I can't see how it's beneficial for the cat to be six feet in the ground.

I should point out that I was constantly getting told that cats can fall asleep and smother the baby while it sleeps, too, which is ridiculous! I mean, first of all, a cat is a cat, not a murderer. And second of all, you wouldn't just leave a baby unnattended for a number of hours anyway.

I don't understand why the vet still put him down after he was aware about how I thought about it and the situation in general. It makes me wonder what my mother happened to say to him.

And yes, she is still my mother, but I don't think this is something that's easily fixed by "I'm sorry" and a hug.

And then to leave his body there like that. My brother's girlfriend told me about his body still in my bathroom, so I'm grateful I knew before I picked up the box and wondered what the heck it was.

In any case, it happened and he can't be brought back. I just hope that if my mum ever decides to help me again in the first place like this, she thinks things through a whole lot better long before she asks me which coloured cat I'd prefer.

Your story was heartbreaking Kyle and has left me somewhat lost for words.. I can't really pretend to offer any useful advice for you or any words of comfort, but I hope you get through it.

All the best Kyle. Makes my issues seem minute at the moment.

Um..I'm waiting for my CD key for COD4 to arrive. Two days late. Yea, barely relevant of a post right now.

[A13x]

My cat now resides in a small box in my parent's linen closet. I had him since I was 2, and I get pretty upset when I think about the loss of him.

I left Sydney in October last year to live in another state, and left my parents and cat behind. I was pretty shattered to receive a call from my upset mother barely able to talk while she tried to tell me how they had to have him put down as he was 19 years old, and had stopped eating, and was vomiting blood. I realised that I'd never get to see him again, after all the years we'd grown up together and he'd been like a best friend to me.

Last weekend Dani and I went back to Sydney to stay with mum and dad, for the first time since I had left last October, and it was really surreal being there without him. I am a bit grateful that I wasn't there to see his demise though.

Sorry to hear your story Kyle, that's a really horrible thing to happen, I couldn't forgive someone doing that to my pet in such a scenario.

I lost my two cats a couple of years ago and I still haven't recovered from it. They had been my pets since I was four. One died during my year 12 or first year TAFE exams and my father (who they lived with, my parents are divorced) kept the information from me until a while after the event. The other six months later I believe who had to be put down cause of severe mental illness. My father got two puppies from a rescue shelter to replace them a few months later as his house felt empty without them... However I'm not a dog person at all and despite having them around for years now, I still really have no connection at to them like I did with my cats... I just merely tolerate them. Quite awkward really, since they seem to love me >.>

I'm so sorry to hear of your situation Kyle, from start to finish. The whole story is just rather iik (although, as hard as it is, the best medicine for a deceased loved pet is to get another one. Didn't believe it myself until I was dragged to get a new one a few years ago. Although, getting a type of pet you don't particularly like was a rather questionable thing to force someone into.)

I was initially going to say the vet must be very questionable to put down a perfectly healthy cat but having thought about the way you described the cats mood lately, some vets may have considered it "feral" & would have put it down as a lost cause. Poor, poor Kitty. Still, not a vet I would ever go to, outside of an emergency & them being the only option at the time. Poor kitty should have at least been given a chance one way or another.

The whole cat & baby danger thing has been a belief for years/centuries. Some people argue old wives tale, others believe it, either through knowing nothing else or because they really do actually believe it despite the skeptics.

I hope you get through all of this really soon. I know what you feel, are going through for a lot of it (The only thing my mother hasn't completely messed me over with -long term at least - in my life is, thankfully pets.)

I seriously don't understand some people. How can they be so cruel? How can they so easily throw away the life of an animal? How can its life mean so little, like a meaningless old toy? And the amount of animals that get abandoned and thrown out on the streets, it's sickening, I can't stand seeing it. I wish some of these people were put down themselves, or at least had some sense knocked into them before they decided to take responsibility for the life of another living creature.

Kyle, you have every right to be distressed, angry, hell - outrageous about this situation, especially when there's other factors that are already pulling you down. Don't feel bad about venting it. And certainly don't feel bad about expressing it to your family, regardless of how insensitive they may be. I hope you can work out whatever else is bothering you and find people perhaps outside your family to offer you support.

[Howler]

Kyle, I cannot express how sad your story is, nor what a horrible deed your family did. I know if anything similar happened to my little Tabitha, I'd kill those responsible without a moment's hesitation.

But listen, you say you're weak and have a lot of issues atm, but in reality you're not weak. It's okay to express your anger, it's perfectly normal for you to be feeling the way you do. But, the fact you are even able to remain in the same house as your family, and the fact you seem to be in relative control of yourself, it shows you've got a strong will. Nothing will ever change what's happened, but learn from the experience. You'll know how it feels and never do it to your child or partner or whoever in the future.

But remember, don't let your anger consume you. Instead, be true to yourself. Embrace your emotions. Live them, feel them, express them. Just maintain control, and you’ll eventually pull yourself out of this dark time in your life.

So I had tonsillitis for the last few days and i've just started taking pills for it yesturday. Anyway I woke up today to find that all the side effects of the tonsillitis is gone, except for the fact that my voice now sounds like a retarded frog and I have to go to work. For those of you who don't know I work at St George bank, so I had to try and use sign language as well as writing down stuff to communicate to the customers which is alot harder then you think, (when I showed one women a written piece of paper saying " I can't talk very well" she ask if I could understand her, considering that I look like a 19 year old anglo boy, I was a bit confused why she would ask that).

So at St George and like many bank we have to sell, so I was trying to sell stuff to customers which required me to talk and no one could understand me which also sucked. And to finish it off I was $200 down on the till today which was bloody fantastic as well. Should of thrown a sickie.


Now Kyle, I really sorry to hear about your situation but I can think of one thing that can take your mind off it, if not make you forget about it for a while ......Video Games!!!!!!!!!!! I hope that might help if not just get out of the house to hang with mates with something. I don't know mate but good luck

[DancesInUnderwear]

...i'm with your housemate. Its a doco. How are there spoilers in a doco?

Now, if he did what my friends love doing with any sort of anything, and proceeded to tell you about a scene/level/page/whatever in mind-numbing detail, then you could make him shut up.

Sorry to hear about what happened Kyle Clarthy. My dog was put to sleep a month ago, so I know what it's like. He was my best friend for 10 years, but about 6 weeks prior to putting him to sleep, he got a brain tumour. The poor dog was getting seizures almost daily, and it was heartbreaking watching him suffer the way he did. One vet prescribed him some medication (I won't tell you what another vet said, bloody idiots) that helped him, and for 2-3 weeks he was seizure free, though had some changes in behavior. But then the seizures came back and we had no choice, but what made it worse was that my mum took him to be put to sleep without me knowing, so I never even got the chance to say goodbye. I wish I could give you some advice on how to deal with the loss of a pet, but sadly, I'm still struggling with it myself.
