I bought an inexpensive clock last winter at Wal-mart. It was made in China and only cost about $12. When I plugged it in it went right to the correct time. In March it automatically reset to DST and in the fall it went back to EST. This morning it reset to DST again. It is NOT an atomic clock...

Hi All, I meant to be out on the road a week ago but haven't managed to leave yet. The catsitters finally arrived on Thursday afternoon and then decided not to stay. Turns out the woman is allergic to mildew, which lives in some of the walls here, and found that she could not breathe well in the...

Oh gawd, I am *SO* freakin' *STUPID*. How could I have been so d*mn *BLIND*! I told you guys that my 15-year-old, Bandit, had her teeth cleaned on Feb. 25 - a week ago last Friday. Well, since then she has been even meaner and grumpier than usual, growling and hiss-spitting at everyone and...

Eve, bless her little heart, has only given me a hard time once. That was the week we were in San Francisco and she had an ear infection/cold. It was a miserable four days, but we perservered and survived despite the futile outlook. This last week, there has been a yucky bug going around. A...

I got out of work early today, so I thought I'd use my time to catch up on the NG. Went to the store and picked up some Dew, a sandwich and some pretzels. Also grabbed a six pack of Smirnoff Twisted mandarin orange (yuummmy) for the heck of it. So here I sit, *trying* to read the ng but am...

This morning, after waking up at 5, I waited until 7 as usual before I gave the cats breakfast. I think Caliban thinks if he is being really really cute, I will forget when I was going to give him breakfast and will feed him earlier. Usually, while I'm on the computer reading rpca and having my...

Got up on my stove, knocked the cover off my pork with mushrooms and courgettes and licked most of the gravy off it while I was out playing Scrabble this afternoon. Any idea who that could have been? Tweed

Well *sniff*, it finally happened: sometime last night *sniff* Weebles upper baby-kitty *sniff* fangs fell out! *bawl* -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington! (And proud of it,...

I was handling it ok, until the lady put him into the carrier. He started crying and so did i..... at least i know he'll be in a better place...... I'll post more later along with pictures. Kristi

I'm ovulating this weekend. We're going to have another child, someday. But it just... it's difficult. I can't imagine life with a single living child. But I can't *not* feel like this is just a kneejerk reaction, a "replacement" of sorts. Guilt, confusion.... Don't really have a point to this...

We have a Phantom P*sser. We strongly suspect Suki, but with two cats, you can never be sure. We're finding phantom puddles and wet spots all over the place, but the ultimate insult was that some time between yesterday afternoon (after school) and this morning (when it was time to get dressed)...

Now Pearl is coughing again. I had really backed off on the prednisone because the heart group people really have a fit about it, AND it's hard to hide the taste so she doesn't take it as well, but last night and today she isn't feeling well and is coughing and dry heaving a bit, which was what...

I have been well and truly reminded this evening that my sole purpose on thsi planet is to work to earn money to take care of the owners. Tomorrow, I get my first proper "Real" pay packet in 6 years. Sure, I've worked in part time jobs whilst in school and studying, but this is my first real job...
