Look around. If you have a friend called Lucy, get the shirt. ;-]

Turnsky · December 16, 2009, 03:43:58 AM

Small update folks: the kitten didn't make it.

.. and the bill's in the mail.

bradypodidae · December 16, 2009, 10:54:06 AM

Sorry you lost the kittens. Everything else I wanted to say seemed trite or cliche. So I guess I'll leave it at that...

Sprocketsdance · December 16, 2009, 01:49:02 PM

I'm sorry everything has to get so crappy around the holidays >_< heck even if it wasn't the holidays it'd be crappy.. but.. yeah..

Did you ever get a status update from the vet as to what caused the kittens to die?

ShadesFox · December 16, 2009, 08:28:22 PM

Poor kitty

ShadesFox · December 16, 2009, 10:14:28 PM

Ugh, are there other kitties that might have them?

not sure, we're worming them just to be on the safe side.

the rest are really quite strong.

ShadesFox · December 16, 2009, 11:00:27 PM

Clearly we need the kitties healthy, then insert them in the comic to torment Luke.

llearch n'n'daCorna · December 17, 2009, 08:49:49 AM

... wakeup with a kitty nomming on his hair?

not sure, intestinal ones i know that much..

in other news, weren't satisfied with current strip in progress, decided to redraw, just my luck, however.... my wrist hurts...

i gotta stop falling apart.

ShadesFox · December 20, 2009, 11:22:00 AM

I've got a staple gun, will that help keep you together?

llearch n'n'daCorna · December 20, 2009, 04:25:33 PM

I've already supplied duct tape, and that doesn't seem to be working.

ShadesFox · December 20, 2009, 06:06:23 PM

Staple gun > duct tape.

Kabbalist · December 20, 2009, 10:52:23 PM

Staple gun, duct tape, AND Mighty Putty! Gotta watch out for that last one, though. It might stiffen his fingers a bit. Then again, it'd be great for gluing him into his drawing chair...

Oh, and lest I forget: Sorry to hear that life is throwing rocks at you again, Turnsky.

eh, it happens, the thing with the wrist is more annoying than actually painful (it hurt like hell last night, for the record) as it prohibits me actually drawing.

Well, I'm glad that you're not trying to push ahead and draw anyway (you're not, right?), since that could take things from "annoying" to "medically significant source of more bills."

I think I'm about as greedy for new pages as the rest of the forum, I (again, like most of the forum) am more concerned with your wellbeing. If nothing else, a healthier, happier artist is a more productive one, so from a purely logical standpoint it makes sense to encourage you to take care of yourself.

Not that I'm purely logical, of course. There's a reason that the custom text under my forum avatar is "part-time voice of reason, full-time weirdo."

Turnsky · December 21, 2009, 05:30:15 PM

well, it was okayish yesterday... now it hurts like the blazes..

i'm gonna try and see the doc about it this week.

it's a knock on effect of my disease, sadly...

speaking of, wrist now relatively pain free...

it moved to my thumb joint, and it -hurts-

Yeah, I know how that goes. Typically my wrists and ankles are a bit "crackly," but sometimes it moves into my left knee and makes a cane helpful...at 27. I shudder to think what kind of shape I'll be in at 50.

Have you tried taking a glucosamine chondroitin supplement, such as Osteo Bi-Flex? I take the stuff, and find it makes a noticeable difference in both the pain and snap-crackle-pop factors after a few weeks. Ginger supplements, though commonly used to soothe the stomach, are also helpful with joint inflammation.

Turnsky · December 29, 2009, 09:05:44 PM

everything's fine now joint wise.. to prove that, i actually updated.

ShadesFox · December 29, 2009, 10:17:14 PM

An update complete with an Eph~
