I have featheries- they are way better than furries!

I asked for this for my birthday! Sweet!!

I hope you get the snake for your birthday. The colouring is lovely. Do you have long to wait for your birthday?

salsa - I am feeling huge relief. Amazing huge relief. In fact, right now I'm in terror that it WON'T end after all. Letter or no. That I'll cave again, or she won't get it.

*hairy eyeball* no caving, and if she really "doesn't get it" you could always say "Oh, it's not you, it's me- as in "I'm really sick of...." I hate having to spell the obvious out. You're a witty chick, you'll come up with something.

My new battery for my iBook has arrived. so now I've gotta drain the old one. Got the cd player running and the brightness turned up trying to use up the old battery. Down to 85% battery power now. Jeez, my house goes to heck, but I keep my iBook charged!

...sounds like me. I need to baby my computer. I think there's something wrong with the RAM and/or the processor. It slows waaaay down sometimes. blah.

Don't you have anything cute and furry to pet...maybe a puppy or a nice hamster??

hamsters are kinda bitey and edible. I'd more suggest a cat. xdh's cat Escher got struck once by his boa (?) Phineas and was afraid of all things long and snake-ish for the rest of his life. It's sad and funny to see 13#, huge Esch bush, hiss and growl at the vacuum cleaner hose.

Lise, AOL blows. I bet he's sent you a bunch of letters! Probably even PR has written!

Oh you are SO MEAN! Taunting me about PR that way. You know he'll always be my honey.

I still have pages of TD to catch up on, but as soon as Mom finishes packing, we're going to dinner.

I was able to get into AOL at my SIL's place today--J. had written to me and we got to talk this afternoon. (Insert silly grinning smiley face) We're both really looking forward to seeing each other when I get back. His sister is in town from Portland, helping him pack and move. He said he'd like me to meet her next Friday before she goes back--yikes! OUTFIT?!?

The wedding was wonderful, reception so much fun, and the brunch today at her house was lovely. Mom and I hung out with the newly weds and her parents until 4 PM, when they left for the honeymoon. Mid-day I walked over and briefly explored the National Basilica Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. It's (mostly) all about Mary, my personal favorite. It's a gorgeous church. I only had about 20 min to poke around, but I'll go back another time. Met a friend of theirs' who is a nurse-practitioner, works in a clinic similar to mine. We huddled on the couch and traded stories, happy as pigs in mud. I'm going to go see her clinic tomorrow. Hope to lunch with my cousin, and get in a visit to the Phillips Collection, at the least, tomorrow as well.

OK, Mom's ready, so I'm off! Hang in there, KN. You're clearing your field to receive and give much love.

Did you read my post about the Umbrella Bird? I think you would really like them!!

[chickwhorips]

kit i know if i play bartender with you i'll be hurting the next day!!!!!

KNot you won't cave. you have to many of us behind you to help you stay strong.

nanci cute little snake. do you have room in your house for yourself with all your family members?

lise glad to hear your having fun.

i'm sitting here watching the Ironman Coeur D'Alene and feeling like i'm really lazy. though i did run a bit, just to see how my leg is healing up. seems to be doing good, but have some weird spasms (happy knot) in it right now.

"weird spams"

I got 4 cans of weird spam in my cupboard. Need some more?

[chickwhorips]

ha ha Knot! your so funny! so i can't spell for the life of me. gald that even though you have a hangover you didn't lose humor.

[Kitsune06]

It pays to always read the 'whole thing' first. I'm reading through Chica's post, and I see

weird spasms (happy knot)

and I go "Buh? Do weird spasms mean happy knots? Is this a new kind of lingo I don't know yet? What?"

And then I see the explanation later. It's not the spelling, it's the punctuation this time. (insert grammar facist of choice here!)

CWR, if we play bartender, we'll both be wanting to die, but it'll be a fun evening. Let's do that ride *before* that, because I'm not so sure the bike will feel good after all that.

...I thought all spams were weird? oh man, I am *so* craving spam sushi right now.

[CyclChyk]

I love snakes as pets (not ones I stumble across in the "wild") I just can never have one for 2 reasons. 1. My DH hates snakes and 2. I can't feed em live food. Even the frozen kind you can buy, I can't feed to the snake cuz I think about the poor lil mouse whose life was cut short so it could become just another notch on the food chain.

I like reptiles. I would love to have a cameleon but its been veto'ed. I did get my tat finally tho. I wanted a lizard but since I promised I wouldn't get a lizard tat, I got a dragon. Kinda the same thing, right? Tho he still hates it.

Wanna hear something funny? When I prepare wings to grill, I can't eat them. I get caught up in thinking about the lil chickies as I "prune" their wings for grilling, and I get to where the thought of eating them repulses me. That makes my DH happy cuz he loves my hot wings.

Sorry - Just thought I'd share some of my quirky idiosyncrasies......

I am *so* craving spam sushi right now.

Where's the vomiting smiley?

[Kitsune06]

DD- Hey! It's been a long, long, long time since I've had SPAM. (Probably close to 10 years, now that I think of it...) so I don't have an adequate memory of how traumatizing it must be. I just remember salty meat, and that's fine with me.

I have a hard time keeping anything as a pet that I've eaten before. All birds look about the same when waxed/feathered, snakes look about the same when skinned, fish, same, turtles and frogs, same rats look like squirrels, I'm sure, but I try not to think about/mention it around DGF. She's so sensitive...

*pulls up her collar a little- her red neck is showing...*

[KnottedYet]

Spam sushi is yummy. But we already discussed this. Sorry, Kit, we just can't convert them...

(leaves more for us!)

[Kitsune06]

I kinda like how the shoyu tastes with it, but I can't bring myself to try adding the flavor of wasabi and/or pickled ginger. Knot... we might be in the minority, you know...
we might be...
weird.
