RIP Toby

She’s so sick, and looks so awful, I chose an older picture of her for her last one. We’re taking her for her last trip to the vet in a couple of hours. I can’t even give her much in the way of special treatment – she can hardly eat, and she’s too uncomfortable to [...]

More Stuff I Forgot!

I had meant to blog this before, but it got lost in a bunch of other paperwork and junk. I came out one night after cleaning up the cat cages, and found this under my windshield. My first thought was that it was one of those annoying flyers for some “service” or another, and I [...]

Schadenfreude

I couldn’t help it, I had to look at every single one of these bad real estate photos: http://www.reagentinct.com/category/bad-mls-photo-of-the-day/ Many of them are examples of bad photography, but there’s more than a smattering of truly appalling decor and lack of common sense on the part of the realtor/occupants. (Like #255, featuring a pooping dog, and [...]

Stuff I LOOOOVE!

OK, I’ve been really busy lately, not so interested in posting after I’m done with this – just reading and responding to other blogs, wouldn’t ya know. . . but I’m going to show you a couple of things I’ve been using that I think are marvelous. I’ve been doing some sewing, but my sewing [...]

NSFD

That means “Not Safe for Dishwasher”. I was taking pictures for a couple of blog posts and found that I had forgotten this. It’s Audrey’s job to load the dishwasher, but she doesn’t put much thought into it. If it’s in the sink, she loads it. If it’s anywhere else, it’s invisible. However, sometimes I [...]

Hey, Maytag!

I don’t think anyone from Maytag is checking up on things here, but I know a lot of customers and potential customers are. So, everyone, here’s some Maytag dishwasher updates: My mom’s Maytag, about five years old, bit the dust. So did my friend Gayle’s. Forgot how old her was, but not old enough to [...]

Creeping Crud.

I have caught whatever it is that’s going around. Sore throat, gunk in every place that can produce gunk, headache, body aches, the whole gamut. I have a couple of great posts floating around in the mushy thing that is my brain right now, but I just can’t get to them. Must rest. . .blech.

What is it with people?

From the Associated Press: WESTON, Wis. — An 11-year-old girl died after her parents prayed for healing rather than seek medical help for a treatable form of diabetes, police said Tuesday. Everest Metro Police Chief Dan Vergin said Madeline Neumann died Sunday. “She got sicker and sicker until she was dead,” he said. Vergin said [...]

Who the Hell Can Get Into Heaven?

It’s pretty interesting to see how incredibly diverse and self-contradictory these suppositions can be among the various Christian sects. The Internet, of course, gives ideas that otherwise might be almost invisible a worldwide forum, and it’s a curious thing to see that they are all purportedly drawn from the same holy text. Now, I had [...]

It’s Not a Cat. . .
