Tekkaman-James: If it's not too much to ask, and you haven't re-homed them yet, I would certainly be interested in the Realms of Arcania trilogy you are offering. Those went on sale when I was pinching pennies and their normal price is just a bit too high for a series that I haven't actually played before.
More importantly, I am very glad to hear that you will be remaining a part of the community,
Tarnicus. Very sorry to hear about you and your kitty's injuries, but I am glad that you are both on the mend. If your vet is shocked by a 19 lbs cat, they'd flip their lid at my biggest boy. While he tips the scales at around 25 lbs, he isn't overly chubby, just a darn big kitty. Even other cat owners who visit are surprised by how large he is. =^.^=
Code sent :) 25lbs is very impressive! I thought my boy Behemoth had lost weight given that he has more muscle and less fat than when he was younger. Nope he was just bulking up...must be all those protein shakes(raw meat) he chugs down between workout sessions(fighting to protect his area). His little brother Leviathan(from a different litter but same parents) is catching up swiftly. Both of them were the first-born giants of each litter, whereas my girlfriend has Angel, the runt. I'll post a photo sometime to show the size difference :)
I'm going to retire this thread so to speak and wanted to say thank you to all those who took the time to respond, share your thoughts and feelings and especially to remind me of the joyful interactions I have on these forums. I don't think I managed to respond to people nearly as much as I had intended to and my lack of reply is due to being overwhelmed by the number of replies as well as by life a little right now.
fluent2332: Finding the right "balance" is hard to do sometimes. I find myself going through very hot and very cold periods all the time. It's tough but it's just something that happens and I have to deal with it. We get through it somehow and it's "on to the next one".
Good luck in your journey.
Agreed and thank you :)
