(OT) Humor: The Hallowe'en Party by
Pat
A couple was invited to a swanky masked Halloween costume party. The wife
got a terrible headache and told her husband to go to the party alone. Her
devoted husband protested, but she argued and said she was going to take
some aspirin and go to bed, and there was no need of his good time...

(OT) I know I over reacted about a spider before but by
jmcquown[_2_]
Guess what? Now my house is overrun with them! Apparently the one I killed
(along with it's little babies riding on its back) wasn't the only one. Now
they're in my bedroom. And I tried to do the nice thing and "set it
outside" except it wasn't having any of that. It wouldn't let me gently...

(OT) I might be moving... purrs? by
jmcquown[_2_]
I'm in a dispute with the home owners association and have an appointment
with a lawyer on Monday. The home owners association expects me to pay $278
a month to become a "member" of their club. I don't want to be a member of
their "club". As Groucho Marx said, "I don't care to belong to any...

(OT) I'm Declaring Today... by
jmcquown[_2_]
Do something nice for yourself day! Hey, you deserve it :)
(I actually did this yesterday.) I bought myself a bouquet of fresh flowers
when I was doing the tedious task of grocery shopping. Looking at the
lovely flowers just makes me smile.
In 1984 when I was going through a messy divorce...

(OT) I'm desperate by
Pat
I haven't got a clue how to solve a certain problem, and it's not one that I
can resolve alone. It's very hard for me to ask for help with this, too, but
I'm praying that one of you will have an answer for me.
It's my house, which is so dirty and disorganized that even the cats hate
it. I plug...

(OT) I'm just SOOOOOO happy by
Karen Chuplis
I know this is SO off topic but I watched the Kentucky Derby and oh man
Smarty Jones is a legend now. I don't know if anyone else follows the game
but this was indeed memorable by any standard. Can Smarty be an honorary
cat?

(OT) I'm not Moving to Arkansas (with some cat stuff intermingled) by
jmcquown[_2_]
Nothing to do with my SO, John. No, I love him dearly. But the thought of
moving 1000 miles away, to a completely unfamiliar area is simply too
daunting. He can look at houses for me, sure, and tell me which (if any) he
thinks I'd like. But I still have to fly there to look at them. And if...

(OT) I've GOT to find a local job! by
Dan M
I've heard nothing from the local jobs I've applied for, but I've also
got more leads.
Seeing how much Samuel improved when he got his antibiotics makes me
feel really guilty. If I'd been at home every night I might have noticed
his lack of activity sooner and realized something was wrong. The...

(OT) Identity Theft by

Don't ask how or why but some idiot hijacked my bank check card and ordered
himself a laptop computer from WalMart. I received email confirmation from
WalMart stating my "order" is ready to be picked up. Primary pickup person,
me. Alternate pickup person, someone named William Nguyen in...

(OT) Interesting Phone Call by
jmcquown[_2_]
Got a phone call yesterday morning around 9AM... it was my neighbor who is
owned by Schwartzie and Fedders. She said, "Did you know you have an
alligator in your back yard?" What?!!! We looked out back... sure enough,
there was a 5 foot alligator sunning itself by the pine tree.
I called...

I went to a writing and literary convention in Niagara Falls over this past
weekend. It was geared to Science fiction and mysteries, but every year there
is this writing intensive with two well-established authors--usually Nancy
Kress with another eminent pro--and it covers basic mechanics,...

(OT) Jumping Into the Void (Quitting Smoking) by
Ginger-lyn Summer
Gulp.
Here I go.
Tomorrow, I am quitting smoking. And because I am posting it here for
all of you to see, I *have* to do it!
I have figured out what I am going to do when those urges hit: I went
out and bought a sign language dictionary, and I am going to teach
myself sign language. Should...

Most of you know I lived for over 30 years in the Memphis, TN area. The
Smithsonian is opening an exhibit of photos of Elvis Presley at age 21

(OT) Just out of Curiosity: Middle Names by
jmcquown[_2_]
Try going through life *without* a middle name. No one ever believes you
don't have one. People just think it must be something *awful* and you
don't want to tell them. Only my oldest brother has a middle name. My
other brother and I don't have one. My parents didn't have middle names,...

(OT) Mayor responds on electric issue by
Pat
There was a delay because this week is the bi-annual city cleanup, but the
mayor did finally call me and said he'll be over on Monday with his "entire
crew" to check this house and see what could be the reason for the
excessively high meter readings. I'll post again when the results are in.

(OT) Me fall down, go boom by
[email protected]
Yesterday, I had to have my tax person, Barbara, do my taxes, as I do
every year. It's never fun, and it was worse this year because I had
to tell her it would be ahwile before I could pay her. Luckily, she's
an old friend and understanding, so it will be okay, and she *will*
get paid.
So I...

Most of you already know about our elderly dog's passing. Jeff (DH) has
always had a dog, except the years he was in the Navy, college, or living in
an apartment.
Se we "had" to have another dog. Sarah D., you've already met her, but at
the shelter she was known as Hazel when she was first...

(This is a long rant; I apologize in advance.) You know I want to sell this
house. The realtor I'm working with is very knowledgeable about the housing
market where I live. He said I would need to have it completely cleaned,
including the carpets. Get it in "showing condition" so he can list...
