singout Thanks for your response MoonGypsy. Wow! You said it happened when you were a baby. Were you old enough to remember anything about it? At least I made contact with the floor a little sooner than you did.

Twelve years is a long time to have a cough. That's how long this ailment has been with me. My career was my voice. I was a moderately accomplished singer. Not a Caruso by any means, but I had reached the top of my trade...

My cat came in the room where I was watching TV last night. I didn't hear him, though, I heard the CRUNCH. He was eating a baby bunny, a TINY baby bunny. (Wild, of course, we live in the country.) I wasn't...

singout I rescued a bunny from a cat once. Even though it didn't appear hurt or injured, it died anyway. I think they get so traumatized and in shock they don't usually recover. I wish I had more encouraging news for you mentalward.

singout Thanks for your response mentalward. That was just the type of thing I was looking for. It is kind of sad isn't it? It just shows you how small a part of time we share as well as the things that we enjoyed so much.
