Rose is having some family issues and well one of Mister Blacks family passed away. So shes not able to concentrate on the page this week. i'm giving you a spiffy pic of Galina, this was made for a friends b-day and i thought i would share.
Sorry, folks. This happened very suddenly, right in the midst of treatment and monitoring for a medical issue, and we're all kind of in shock. I'll try to get a page done later this week, but I can't make any promises right now. Thanks for your patience.
I'm sorry for your loss, Mister Black and Rose. Don't worry about the page. Take care of family. *hugs*
This is the venerable pic of Galina that has been our vote incentive for this past while. I didn't know it was originally made for a friend's birthday though. It is berry nice :)
oooOOOO-K that was unexpected and I was at work
luckily, I have a private office and I'm not so sure our IT guy looks at every picture anyone looks at ;)
It's not Feelie but it's berry, berry nice and if it doesn't get the standings up in topweb, I don't know what will. I'd been meaning to suggest a new 'cheesecake' incentive if we got this comic into the top five, but as usual, you've far exceeded our expectations, even at a time when you surely didn't need to bother.
I am still here. 25 years ago, I had my first heart attack. 6 years ago, I had a fatal heart attack. When I say, "fatal," I mean the medics that came to my house could find no pulse and zero blood pressure. Yet I was talking to them the whole time.
Heh, my old grandma did something similar.
When the paramedics were hustling about, she just had to slow them down and tell them about this one apple pie she once made.
Right now my pulse is around 30-35 and very 'hard' but my blood pressure is around 105/55...or lower...my Dr hates me, my cholesterol is great, I think it's better than hers and she's so skinny she only has one side...apparently I'm not fat, I'm fluffy :) her only comment on the slow pulse was "you won't wear your heart out as fast" so I asked for a referral to a cardiologist because I know it isn't supposed to be that slow, hopefully it doesn't end up at zero with no BP but it's sure felt like it a few times lately.
saw the cardiologist this afternoon, he says my heartbeat is all over the place, 'early' beats, skip beats, short bursts of fast with some stretches of slow thrown in but "it's perfectly harmless" then gave me statins when my cholesterol is lower than normal to start with, says they're for lowering any possible inflammation, not the cholesterol level. I wonder how low cholesterol can go before that becomes a problem ? probably should have gone to med school like I planned so many years ago. To make a short story long, apparently I'm not going to fall over it just feels like I should. :)
First things first, we're not your employer, and even if we were there's no need to make excuses for what has to be the primary concern right now. Take all the time you need, we'll still be here when you feel up to it again. Be well and may G-d ease your path.
Indeed, we are not your employer, though it is nice to be kept in the loop, it shouldn't dictate how you do things.
As for the whole God thing, I am one of those weird non-believers, (strange right ?) and even I am not offended when someone say "God bless you", because it comes from a heartfeld place of love and care.
Now, if they want to discuss their belief in … god/gods / Marxism / Capitalism / Small Wooden Toy Dogs … then I'm game.
It's weird when a heathen on the internet is more appreciative of your religion, than the people you move amongst. 🤣
Oh well, the oddities of the modern world, I guess.
Religion is usually a touchy subject on the interwebz. I might guess that the creative duo doesn't mind discussion, if people can be civil. Under that (possibly mistaken) assumption, I posit that the non-religious may or may not appreciate others' religion, but are likely to be more accepting. The lack of acceptance, from those who follow a religion, usually stems from disagreement with the tenets of others' faiths, or lack thereof. Without a religious bias, it's easier to accept different ideas on the subject.
Wait a second, Sheela... are you telling me that you DON'T believe in tiny wooden toy dogs with rubber wheels and a pull string that make them go "bow wow"?
I'm SHOCKED! I'm DISMAYED!! I'm SHOCKED AND DISMAYED!!!
I don't try to convert others and it's a long process anyway and I don't really mind what others do, I've had many different and varying opinions and beliefs myself over the years but eventually I went back to the start and am sort of staying there, I guess some would say that the older you get the more you try to hedge your bets ;) Like the old man on his deathbed when the priest asked as part of the last rites "do you renounce the devil and all his sins" he replied "do you think this is a good time to be making enemies ?"
I'm pretty sure Cent would like to have a cow..cut and wrapped of course..BBQ season is on the way ;)
TR would likely have a cow seeing her eat so much red meat but that's always fun to watch. That'swhy I like TR, Feelie and TeeDee, the dialogue is hilarious and I can just imagine a sawed off ginger spitfire with cowboy boots rapidly melting down before detonating entirely...you wouldn't even need popcorn, it's pop by itself :)
I concur entirely with all the supporting words above, especially for those regarding the delightful recent vote bait. Charity does indeed begin at home, especially the self-care part.
We've all been there and it seems the older you get the more frequently you go, the best any of us can do is try to make it easier for those left behind. This reminds me I have some more pre-planning to do just so others won't have to run around making decisions when it's their turn.
*insert obligatory "Hang in there, kitty!" poster here*
Everoyne else has siad pretty much all there is to say already, but I'll add my condolences and well wishes for your families, Rose and Cent. We'll be here when you are ready to come back. :)
I've been going back and rereading the story from day one, hard to believe that the battle for douchewaffle's palace started almost five years ago our time and it's only been less than a week for the characters...now THAT'S storytelling !!! Thanks to all involved for amost entertaining ride
I'm sorry to hear about this, my prayers go out to you and your family.

Also: Hellooooo Ceci! (Good choice!) (Thank you!)

Ah, yeah, I don't think TWC does,but Centcomm mentioned it above in the Author's Note when she posted it. :D*edit: Yes she did also put it in the vote message on TWC
prayers and hugs to you an yours...
comic ,, what comic,,,. no really we can wait.!!
Take as much time as you need.
So hang in there!!!

… it was very good. 🤣

But for now, you're safe. 😁

And then some of us just don't give a damn. 😁
I'm SHOCKED! I'm DISMAYED!! I'm SHOCKED AND DISMAYED!!!
You mean, like tipping cows ?
TR would likely have a cow seeing her eat so much red meat but that's always fun to watch.

...and take all the time you need...
This a hint of a Ceci comeback.
And dealing with the loss of a loved one is always painful. And that takes time before a person can begin to heal from the loss.

I just re-read Luna Star. I think it's time to look at starting Volume 2 of Galina Kotka's memoirs.
