I adopted Nicodemeus from Adoptions R Us in March 2011 but he was created May 24, 2007. He came with the Dark Thing in a Box minion and a note from the original owner to take care of him because he was an old pet. I created a story in his description around that. My daughter gave me an Aeanoid seed to grow so I could turn him into one. Because of the story, I then changed him into a Nightmare. He is one of my favorite pets...well, they all are. It is neat that you named a real pet by that name. :)

So cool what you have done with your pet!!

You would have enjoyed meeting Nick. For all that he had been trough a racing dog and the abuse he suffered, he was a sweet loving dog. My family took our time with him, and discovered his fear triggers and avoided them completely. Unfortunately, my brother in law was a trigger, because of his deep bass voice. So that told us, his abuser was a man with a deep bass voice. My bother in law won him over, he spent a lot of time sitting lower then Nick showing him he wasnt a threat and always tried to speak in lower soft tones. He was very attached to me and I to him.

Did you find City to download? For one of my many birthdays since the copying of said book, Avi actually found me a used one. I like having real pages to turn, especially on Shabbat when I don't turn on my phone.

Beautiful of your b-i-l to take the time like that with your furry friend.

Hello Bears! I know I don't visit often but I have a request... please send positive thoughts and/or prayers for me on Thursday! I will be having surgery on my knee to fix a slight meniscus tear. That's the plan right now.. currently getting snowed on in the Mid-Atlantic, and my ride to and from surgery is on a plane right now from California, Oy vey! TIA ❤ hugs

he felt bad that his voice frightens our dog and wanted to do whatever it took to make Nick less fearful

Prayers! Very thoughtful.

Yay! Just unlocked Blackheart Stalker when I caught him with [item2=Dark Garden Bridge] just now! :)

~ Thank you!!! hugs

You have invited the mysterious stranger to a dance, and have 5 minutes until you can dance again!

hey everyone I won't be on much tomorrow during the day I have a lot of appointments tomorrow at the VA it is a 2.5 hour drive to the VA and I have to b there at 10 am and have appointments all day my last appt. is a 2:00 pm but who know if that will happen but anyways I won't be on most of the day trying to b back around 5 or 6 in the evening all have a great day tomorrow oh still here the rest of the day ... trying to dance as much as possible but not feeling to good so I will try

Am glad you have VA appointments tomorrow, best time to go is when you don't feel well. If there is anything you need that I might be able to help with I'll be more than happy to.

Real life always comes first so not to worry. Sorry to see you aren’t feeling well though. Sure how you feel better soon. Hug!

- drive safe...sounds like a long day. I'll get in some dances so you'll have some trinkets when you come back :)

edit: - just saw your post. You are in my prayers. Amazing the intricate surgeries that can be done...do all the doc says and keep us posted ❤

you take care of you. I am so happy you going. Will dance as much as I can but I go back to work tomorrow too.

: I hope all goes well for you. Drive safely, take a good book, (that's Steven King's advice) and come back when you can, no worries. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Visiting the Healers can be stressful indeed! ( I know from a first paw point of view....being a Master Healer and all. ) Good Luck my Dear!

I think Madison is going to take a break from battling for a few weeks until ARM is over ( unless they have new combatants ) and she has had some time to rest and train some more. She is less then 200 points from graduating to Tier 12, and anxious to pass that level exam. Odd how there are only 4 level 12 weapons, and that they are almost unobtainable.

: Darling! First...thank you so very much for all the lovely dances, they have been delightful. Second, my word! Surgery on your knee? I will most certainly keep you in my prayers as you recover! I sure hope your ride to surgery arrived in time, what with all the weather they must have had to endure. Leaving California must have been a mess, what with all the rain, mudslides, snow, tornadoes (in Modesto!) and dragons (I think it was on Mount Diablo near San Francisco...I may not have that quite right though). But certainly the weather back East has been horrible too, what with four Nor'easters slamming the Atlantic states. Whew! And they were driving? I cannot wrap my little weasel-girl head around all that.

I hope all goes well for you.

: Yes, I did manage to download CITY and I put it on my iPad to read later. I skimmed over some of the chapters and I am very fascinated. It is classic Sci Fi in the style of Asimov and Bradbury, who are two of my favorite.

oh man y'all make feel so good all the time thank you everyone ... my test are for my heart and lungs and liver and kidneys and blood work and an eye appointment to get some new glasses which I need really bad

I am hoping everything is fine as well kinda scared to find out what is wrong with me ... well that is a long list already lol but I have family history of strokes heart attacks and few other major problems in my family history and all of the men on both side of my parents there lives have ended in there fifties and I will be 50 this year plus with all the chemicals that I absorbed while in the Gulf War... I am really fucking scared to find out and just to let you know I don't scare easy at all not when you grew up where I did and seen the things I have seen and done nothing really scares me but this .... this is something totally different I am not scared to die don't get me wrong I don't want to but I am not scared for me I am scared for my family and what would happen to them and how would they take care of themselves without me ...

..bless you for goig..be brutally honest with them dont keep the bad thing to yourself .. hope they give you better news than you thought . will wait for you RIGHT HERE love.

: That is very understandable and you have every right to feel the way you do. Our bodies are complicated and difficult to keep healthy at this age and it's just downright scary at times. We are with you in heart, is someone going with you tomorrow? It is a long drive, you know, it would be nice to have somebody to take along.

I can sure understand why you are nervous but, hopefully, when you are done with all the tests, you will have all those things crossed off your list of worries. It is the “not knowing” that is the scariest because we all imagine the worst first. I hope all goes well tomorrow. Hugs!

Good, sounds like a complete physical. I just hope they can help with something, that is what the tests will tell us. Maybe you might need a med now and if you do I hope it is compatible with your system and if there are other meds already being used. Our own mortality does put a fear in all of us.
