He did so as they were 11 months into a 5 year term. We have been waiting for actions like this.

I think we all know there won't be a lot of change in the catholic church re abortion (even though his belief that it shouldn't be a priority is pretty major imo) and for those of us who really like this pope we do so seeing the flaws as well. Women will be another issue but one i hope to see slow change in during his reign. However in other areas he has been a breath of fresh air and now he is starting to clean up the corruption in the bank.

You have to understand that for a 52 year old woman this is more than a shock. Especially when I am on disability for Major Depression and Anxiety.

Let me tell you where this started. I picked up the Daily Mail for my morning reading, they normally have little life news and tell me what stories i am intereseted in going to the source for. A little headline said "Susan Boyle comes out with Asperger's Diagnosis"

Now I "know" Susan.I have followed her from her first audition to tidbits about her life and life history. So i thought how proud I was of her, then listened to her quotes. How she was relieved to know what made her so stressed, why people treated her so differently as a child and she could sing but feel all alone in a gathering. Follow me below the fold

We knew the the signally stupid woman would come out with something mind numbingly dumb again, she always does, but this time she is dissing the pope and blaming the media. Short diary, see below the fold. If anyone knows how to embed video please do so.

As many of you know I posted about an injured feral and some amazing kossacks helped me raise some money for her medical bills. http://www.dailykos.com/...

Well last week she was back to the vet and I honestly expected to be leaving her there for an expensive operation, follow below the fold for the outcome.

I am sorry for coming to you one more time, if you look back you will see I came for help with Misty's operation which ended in cancer last year. This year there is a feral I had been feeding outside and had a heatbox whom I noticed not moving about 2 weeks ago.

I took her into the vet, very feral and he thought it was only leg soft tissue injuries. I saw her still scooting and limping as I worked to domesticate her and took her back to the surgeon this time. He looked and as of yesterday thought we could get away with cage rest, a broken hock and a torn achilles tendon. Today he took xrays -without charging me- My relief was short lived

This lovely lovey little girl who has turned into such a sweet cat/kitten and trusts me completely has a broken hip on the right, a broken tibia that is healing and a broken hock and achilles tendon on the left. This costs money I don't have but its going to kill me to put her down. Cage rest is unlikely to work especially on the hip.

Any small amount will do, it all adds up

To all of you who have followed my diaries on Misty, I want to share the final chapter with you.

To those who helped us get this extra time, who tipped, recc'ed, hugged or just plain supported me in the fight she and I were fighting, thank you. To those of you who donated, some just the little you had, others more than I would have ever expected, you have a special place in kitty heaven and in my heart.

Just to recap, she went to a dermatologist for severe ear infection which turned out to be a polyp. There was one operation with a 50% success rate that I could have done or a larger one at double the price. Well with no money i hoped for the former, and people here came through like nothing other. The donations allowed me to ask the hospital if I could get the larger operation and pay the rest off which they agreed to. So things looked good.

Then the operation, a success until suture removal when I thought there was to much infection and kicked my heels til the dermatologist could look (the surgeon had been called away) He found another polyp..eeps. So at no cost to me she had a second, different type of operation to get rid of it..it turned out to be adhered to her ear canal and pathology showed two aggressive tumors, not a polyp.

Follow me below the fancy croissant for what happened today and how we got here.

It seems a lifetime ago but was only a month when I asked for some help to get my pootie baby an operation for polyps in her ear. Actually I was going to try and get the cheaper procedure as I had no money. Everyone came through and it allowed me to get the 100% ~ surgery with a payment plan since I had managed half down in advance.

Kos people were so kind, so caring and so receptive, I hate having to share the news I got today.

She needed a second operation as it seemed a polyp stayed in...turned out to be a line of them adhered to the horizontal wall. They did the 2nd free of charge and sent it to pathology.

Below the squiggle for the diagnosis

Hi all, to those new and those who read my diary . Thanks to the incredible generous support from people in the Kos community I had enough to get the compromise operation done. There is more to her story though!

Hi all, I am not very good at asking for help but I don't know what to do. I have seven furbabies, all of them feral rescues and each with their own issue or two that came from living outdoors on their own..one is FIV+ etc. But that isn't the one that needs help.

Just to explain, I live on a disability income of 900 a month and that is it, disability due to major depression and severe anxiety. These guys keep me going, they are my own personal therapy cats in some ways because I have to get out of bed or go to the store to get the food and otherwise help myself by helping them. In February Misty got an ear infection, we thought.

I have said from the get go (mostly to myself) that MI will be hell for Romney. I haven't understood the notion it was a given. That op-ed, Let Detroit go Bankrupt was the nail in his putative coffin. MI voters won't connect and today there is an excellent column on CNN about why
