jmcquown
Dad is still gnawing on this book like a dog with a bone. He sent me money
with a letter instructing me to buy three copies of the book, one for him,
one for myself and one for brother Paul. (Don't know how brother Scott
lucked out of this one! LOL) He also wrote in the note "I want to have us...

[OT] More Katrina Recovery Pictures by

Erin just sent me these (via snail-mail since they won't have cable for a
loooooong time yet). It's been 7 months and 3 days since the storm, and
most people along the Gulf Coast are still homeless. My daughter is one of
the lucky ones (as well as being very handy and industrious) since all...

[OT] More Purrs Needed by
CatNipped
Yesterday afternoon I developed a migraine (can we say stress-related?? ;),
so I stayed home today to go see my doctor. While I was home this morning I
got a call from an employment agency to come in for an interview this
afternoon (I submitted my resume to roughly 50 - 60 companies).

Its pupil free day at the Yowlet's school, so he's sleeping in, as is
his father. Fluffy is still in the garage. Pickle is snoozing on the
lounge, Suki is goodness-knows-where but she hasn't noticed I'm awake
and therefore she isn't trying to become One with my neck.
The house is still, save...

This is starting to drive me batty... My computer mouse will often
"double-click" when I only press the button once. What could the cause be?
It's just an ordinary optical mouse, nothing fancy.

[OT] Movie Reviews by
CatNipped
Yesterday we went to see "The DaVinci Code". It was OK, it wasn't as bad as
some of the critics have said, but it wasn't as good as the 3 months of
promotion leading up to it would have you believe. C+ / B-
But after we saw that we snuck into "Over The Hedge" (oooo, we're movie
criminals). That...

[OT] Movies by
CatNipped
DH and I went to see "Stealth" yesterday. It was about as the critics
described and as I expected - "Top Gun" for the 21st century. Very
enjoyable, even so. Josh Lucas is a luscious boy babe, and Jessica Biel is
a luscious girl babe, but to me they didn't have a whole lot of on-screen
chemistry....

Man, riding a real bicycle is really *NOT* the same as exercising on a

teenagers in cars tend to speed in this neighborhood, so it wasn't...
