    sticking my head in

    Hi, everyone, Just sticking my head out of my shell for minute before returning to lurker mode. First of all, Hissy, you flatter my skills! I'm glad you enjoyed your present, I just wish it hadn't taken so long to get to you! Sparky has begun another course of antibiotics. He has gone from...

    Goodbye

    Dear friends. I find that this is not a safe place for me any longer. Not because of any of you, but because of my ex. I won't tell you the whole story. He feels justified in trolling through here to see what I say about him. I think he is just looking for trouble. He read something here...

    In the spirit of 10 questions about you

    Here is a list of questions a friend e-mailed me and my responses. Enjoy! 1. IF YOU COULD BUILD A HOUSE ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD IT BE? Oh, I guess I'm adventurous, or at least given to extremes. I could like happily in the country on a farm I think, maybe in Colorado; I could return to Canada...

    I guess that's that

    I went to my lawyer's office yesterday and signed my divorce papers. My ex has been very difficult to handle the last few days, calling repeatedly to bother me about makin changes (I hate redial), practically harassing my lawyer threatening to start a custody battle, all that kind of thing...

    Memorial Day Thanks

    I just wanted to take a minute to thank the many people in the armed services who make my life and lifestyle possible. I am a pacifist, but I want to acknowledge the people who risk their lives so I can live in peace. My personal list is: Ansel B., army Chip B., air force Doug C., army Norm...

    Cyber Stalking

    Hey! A while ago, if I remember right, someone posted here that some people she ticked off were following her around the internet causing her problems. I know everyone ticks somebody off sooner or later, but you like to think they have enough of a life that they have something better to do...

    Enterprise: Sola Vox

    I just watched the episode from last week, I think it was called Sola Vox, where the Captain and Trip and some other folks got trapped in a sort of web thing. Now, I do think that a little too much money got spent on the CG graphics and not enough on the webbing which looked very fake to me...

    going offline for a while

    Hi, guys! We had a really nasty storm last night here in D/FW, and it knocked out my internet. Apparently it's not the hardware, it's a problem with the cable lines to the house. But of course AT&T can't get anyone out here after 5, and I have training Mon thru' Sat at the new job next week...

    I got a job!

    It isn't much, but I got hired as a waitress at a local Olive Garden. I need to buy some clothes for it, but I think I can manage that. I've never done food service so I don't know what to expect. But that's okay! I'll be getting my feet under me pretty soon I think. Not completely...

    gender confusion & neutering?

    Blackie is neutered. You might recall that he used to groom Sparky and Sparky would try to nurse from him. That hasn't happened in a while, so I guess it stopped naturally, but it was cute and I kind of miss it. Fred is not neutered. Every now and then I catch him on top of Blackie. Blackie...

    does your cat know his name?

    The weather got really bad the other day, and I realized Blackie and Fred were both outside so I had to call them. Blackie is usually just in front of the apartment, under the hedge. Fred I think is going outside instead of using the litterbox. He asks to go out several times a day and comes...

    Walking with Blackie

    I'm just wondering, if this is something other people's cats do. Several years ago, we had a little calico named Patches. She had been a stray who adopted us, and even though she was pretty happy in the house, she liked to go out in the yard a couple of times a day. We lived kind of...

    Funny

    Here is story for all my horsey friends! My friend "Appy20" on another site posted it, so I'm giving her credit for it. The mental image just made me laugh out loud: \t As far as weird animals go, this is how it works at my house. If I get a full grown animal, it tends to be normal. If I...

    Anne, is this what it's really like?

    Here is the link to the photo: oblivious tourists in Bethlehem Now I thought the couple was a little spacy, but maybe I wouldn't have noticed either if there was no gunfire at the time. But what struck me was, Is that what the city looks like? All deserted and half of it rubble? Word...

    Job Interview!

    Hey, I finally got a job interview! Now it's retail, but it's management, so that's okay. The name of the store is Zany Brainy, and in case you don't have one near you, it's owned by FAO Schwartz and does educational and developmental type toys. Very cool stuff. They must be pretty...

    computer woes

    Hey, peeps. You might recall I use a laptop. Last night I unplugged it and took it to bed to finish some stuff. This morning I find that one of the cats peed on the connector! The part that plugs into the machine is all corroded. I tried to clean it and plug it in, but it started SMOKING...

    "Almost Strangers"

    They showed this mini-series on BBCAmerica. Did anyone else watch it? What I want to know is, the red-headed chick who plays Rebecca, did she used to be on Chef! ? I think she used to be the sous-chef - was her name Alice? - but I'm not 100% sure. I figure one of the Brits is going to have...

    Need advice

    I'm having a moment of uncertainty here . . . An online friend of mine asked if he can call me. He knows I'm going thru' a divorce and we've been friends a while but he never asked this before. I'm not sure how I feel about this. If it was an online woman friend I wouldn't think twice...

    Hi, Hissy!

    You must be online. I keep thinking, what is she doing up so late? but it's really only 11:30 ish where you are. How is the math going? You must be coming up to the final push for the year about now.
