Jan the dog might be just what you need. Someone to cuddle with and is there for you when you don't feel well. I can tell you my guys (boy cats) always know when I am not feeling well and they have even licked my tears off my face.

Jan you might want to try oatmeal, yogurt and stuff like that. If will take a while to get used to your new teeth. My friend has had hers for a few months and when she gets frustrated she takes them out

Kiya girl I hear you loud and clear. I get people are mad about the election heck I am mad about the election. I also get that protesting is everyone's right however when it turns violent and stores are getting broken into and cars are set on fire what good does it show? I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and people here don't seem to need much to protest. The sad thing is some of the stores that they are vandalizing or small business owners. How is that doing any good ? And lighting a police car on fire ? It's outrages.

The other thing I do not get is the high schoolers in our area. San Francisco had over 1,000 students walk out of classes several times this past week. They just walked out. Not only is that dangerous the school looses money for each student not in class and the kids that left could not even vote

So Kiya I know how sacred you are I am to. Also if you need to talk or you get nervous before surgery remember you always have us. Anyone of us will be there for you.

Liz and Christina I hope you guys are holding on

Hugs to all
