I was on the phone arguing with Chase Bank this morning. That's the credit card I was using to pay all of Persia's vet bills. I have never used it for anything else. I got a letter in the mail yesterday saying they'd lowered my credit limit based on my "usage". Um, excuse me, it's based on...

It's been a long, long past week. They let Richard out of the hospital last Weds. or Thurs. (I'm losing track of time here). He did not feel ready to leave, but they felt it was best for him to go home, and then return to work part-time this week. They feel he needs some structure. They also...

Sounds like a hurricane outside, too frightened to sleep and cats are terrified. Our tornado watch is extended to 4 AM local time. Urgently seeking purrs from anyone who might be awake at this hour!

What would happen to the island of Guam if some additional thousands of troops were to be stationed there? That's what worries Hank Johnson, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. He is part of the House Democratic leadership, elected by the Democratic caucus to serve as whip for...

Level 10.... I'm TOO GOOD!!!

Nearly a year after my mother's death last November and well over that since the death of my father, I packed up their clothes for donation to the SA (Salvation Army) this week. The boxes are stacked in the garage awaiting pickup next week. It was difficult enough to unload their closets and...

DH & I were using an old pair of jumper cables to give our decrepit riding mower a boost at starting - before I clamped the jumper cables on, I saw something shiny & black *inside* the large alligator-jaw like clamp, looked closer. It moved!

I just got back from 10 days in Guatemala. Two years ago, my church decided to sponsor a church in Guatemala and this was our first mission trip there. What an awesome trip, and what a beautiful country! The people are very friendly and very open to God. The missionaries we were with said since...

Remember that big spider I saw by the patio door? It's an Argiope (aka "writing spider"*). I went out back to strain the glass "pebbles" in the solar copper fountain and put in fresh clear water. I went over to the spigot to fill the fountain and saw another spider on the back window. So,...

It's a Victorian "cottage" in the town where John lives. I'm musing about possibly buying the place. http://nwa.mlxchange.com/DotNet/Pub/EmailView.aspx?r=96535627&s=NWA&t=NWA Click on the photo of the house in the link to see more photos or to view the slideshow. Of course I'd have to sell my...

Those idiots at "the club" are at it again. I finally had to cave and become a member even though it benefits me not one whit to do so. They prorated it so I had a minimum left to spend in dining of $99.88. So I went there for lunch on 12/15. I had a hamburger and fries. I ate there again a...

We drove over to the Lutheran church to pick up the food I from Angel Food Ministries. I cannot believe everything I got for $30! The September "menu" consisted of three very nice looking 8-oz. ribeye steaks; a package of chicken breast halves; a bag of chicken thighs; four good sized pork...

is a program available across the US called Angel Food Ministries. You can order boxes of food for half what it would cost at the grocery store. The food is donated by food distributors, the same people who would supply restaurants. The food is then distributed by local churches. But you...

I had a bookmark to a video of Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean" video from 1983. Not the staged one, one he did live. It's no longer available for viewing because, according to YouTube, it's subject to a "claim" by West Grand Media. Who the hell ever heard of West Grand Media? Oh wait, that's...

/*rant I'm getting really irritated. The a/c was supposed to be repaired on Tuesday. Then I got the call... they don't have the part in their warehouse. Would I like to have it shipped from the factory overnight? At my expense, of course. Please... anything to get it fixed! So the repair...

At 2:30 this morning I was awakened by my hands itching. The tops of both hands, near the center, mostly between the fingers, were itching so badly that it woke me up. I haven't been in anything lately that could have caused this. There's no rash, no bites, nothing. A heavy application of anti-itch...
