Mountain Lions

You're all probably going to get sick of me over the next couple of days, stuck in hospital...
I've been trying to paste a copy of Caitlin Feeley's Mountain Lion analogy but all I have is my phone and it's defeating me! I'm sure some of you old hands have read it, but as a newbie, it really struck home to me.  So, if you haven't seen it, do a google search. Try to find the full piece though as a number of people have just put excerpts on their sites.

    Thanks, @SoldierCrab. I gave up after trying to copy and paste it about 10 times using my phone!

    Oh that is such an apt description of why we endure chemo to fight the darn mountain lion. Love it. Thankyou for sharing. X

    @Afraser I took it as those who feel they want to be able to look after you.  Mind you, if my mum was still around she'd be giving the mountain lion what for - unfortunately, not possible with cancer

    That’s very cool I love the comment about the kale OMFG!  This is a snippet of one I sent to someone and how I feel about it 

    So I’m giving you a big virtual hug and I’m standing at the top of the shit covered mountain that you are slowly crawling to the top of with champagne in one hand vodka in the other and when you’re  finished everything you can run up there in the nude and show me your magnificent new boobies and show me the biggest set of Hairy balls that you have had to grow to get through all this shit and be proud that you have fucking punched  your breast cancer in the fucking face and sent it screaming down the shit covered mountain you’ve just climbed and let it lie there to die in its own filth where it belongs.

    I was walking up near Beechworth this morning and came face to face with a very large goanna. Dinosaur type massive. I've looked at it, it's looked at me and I've thought,  "Oh, shit, not you again.'

    I have no idea what it was thinking, reptiles are like that. But it flicked it's tongue, tasted the air and sauntered off into the scrub. It will be a while before I walk back down that track. I'm not going looking for a Yowie to get it off me.

    @Sister so glad you thought to bring this to everyone. I read it a couple of weeks ago and thought... Yep, that's it alright!
