I've told you all about my son who is into modifying game stations (PS2, PSP, XBox, etc.) - his site is http://www.acidmods.com/. I also told you about a "project" he's working on that will pretty much revolutionize the gaming market (he's flying to Barcelona on the 14th to work with Reebok on...

Just watching Animal Planet and there's a "Crocodile Hunter" rerun on - it's the one where Steve is swimming with dolphins with his daughter Bindy holding on to his back (with her little "swimmies" on her little arms) and laughing in delight at the dolphin antics. What a terribly short time we...

Don't ask me why, I don't know why. I'm sitting here at my desk and "Ellen" is on the TV. She is showing scenes from when she was in New Orleans last week and just now had a scene of her talking at the Tulane University Class of 2006 graduation ceremony (students took classes in other cities, but...

Individual.net is not working for me this morning - I'm having to post this on Google. Is anyone else on Individual.net having problems (they just changed some IP addresses on my network at work and that could be causing a problem)? Hugs, CatNipped

I haven't been able to conenct to news.individual.net for the last 10 hour. Does anyone else have this problem, or know anyting about an outtage? Yowie (using her back up ISP news server, and hating the fact there are so many thousands of undread messages, she doens't know which ones to skip...

On Wednesday evening, after work, I was talking to the security guard at my workplace parking lot. He called my attention to an animal passing through the lot, only 30 feet or so from us. It was a mink, about 18 inches long, not counting the tail. It appeared to have been injured, possibly by...

Richard Marx's new song, "Ready to Fly" is awesome, he has a wonderful voice, and the music "soars". It lifts me up when I'm feeling down. If you get a chance, get this one! I've been trying to open the door To the secret of my destiny And every new road I think is the one Seems to lead right...

Purrs requested for a job interview (my 4th in nearly 18 months) tomorrow. While the idea of possibly moving again doesn't excite me, the idea of employment, and in my degree field yet, does. Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha

Joel thinks its slightly bizarre that I *insist* on tuning into a show - and a weird show that is playin gon our 'community' channel at that - purely by the fact that some cat group on the internet has recommended it. Never the less, I was delighted to discover that "Iron Chef" had finally made it...

I just read (on rec.humor.funny, for those who don't read that ng) that Costco (US wholesale club) is marketing new condoms called: "Next Generation Condoms". Will that be like that the Chevy "No va" not selling in Mexico? :) Joyce -- To send email to this address, remove the triple-X from my...

I just had to post this because I am laughing hysterically and wanted to share the joke. It seems that my own personal troll is not only cowardly (sending me the following email through an anonymous remailer), but she is also seriously irony impaired as you can see from the message text below...

The haul was *incredible* Masses and masses, tens of *metres* of all sorts of different bubble wrap, and it was all *mine*. It nearly broke my heart to have to throw nearly all of it away (I can't use up half the volume of my shared office with bubblewrap) but I did take *great* delight in stashing...

I love buckwheat pancakes. While visiting my aunt, we went out to breakfast at a place that had buckwheat/cornmeal pancakes. Soooo good. Anyone have a recipe for buckwheat and cornmeal pancakes? -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca

The Dr. Phil show is capitalizing on this tragedy. He was on Larry King the other day and had a clip where he was telling a woman that he might have found her family. Larry King asked him if he really did find her family and he said, "You'll have to tune in Thursday to see!" GAG!!!! Well I'm...

I've been reading Tad Williams' Otherland series recently. I read the first two books several years ago, but I lost interest. This time, I made sure I had all four on tap so that I could blast through them. You really have to pay attention to these books, which feature an enormous cast of people...

Maybe someone can help? I want to buy a song from iTunes. I've done it before - how hard can it be? Apparently, these days, they've made it almost impossible. I go to the iTunes store, search for the song, and find it. I click the "Buy song" button, and I get an error message saying that in order...

I've been unemployed since April (my job was outsourced to Manila). I have no encouraging prospects. It's like I'm sending my resumes and applications into a black hole, as I'm getting zero response. This evening I got my lease renewal notice. It said my lease expires on October 31. I have to give...

Well, we had the discussion. No problem - just my contract is up next week, and no extensions. Phooey. This means interviews, phone calls and messing up my routine again. Hopefully no unpaid vacation again... Hugs and Purrs,

I've asked for job purrs off and on for over 2 years now, and so here's the latest update. Two weeks ago today I had another interview in an infrequent long series of interviews. One week ago tomorrow they called to see if I could come in for a second interview, which was yesterday. Before I could...
