My answering machine (yes, I am that old) has three messages blinking on it. They've been there for a while (the oldest is from September of 2010 or 2011) and I have yet to listen to at least two of them. I may have listened to the third but I don't want to listen to any of them so they are just there at all times reminding me that I need to get ( Read more... )

First of all, let me say that I am so turned on by the news. I've heard through the grapevine that I'm going back to work soon. Finally, I haven't gotten to do my job since 2007. That's seven years. You can be declared legally dead in that amount of time. I blame the bleeding-heart Liberals for my lack of employment ( Read more... )

So, apparently over the weekend Oklahoma reportedly "botched" an execution. Now to me, a botched execution would result in the victim not dying. However, the press claimed it was "botched" because they thought that the victim might have felt some pain during it ( Read more... )

Another Tuesday, another plea for votes. Here's the link to this week's poll. I am in tribe one and really need all the votes I can get.

While you're there you can also vote for beldarzfixon in tribe 5 and veronica_rich in tribe 3. They could also use votes but are far outscoring me at present ( Read more... )

So, I got a call yesterday from the employment agency from the other day that they had set up an interview with me today for a clerical position. The pay was crappy and the hours/commute would likely suck but I really need the work and the income (money's drying up fast). So, I got all dressed up in my interviewing clothes and put on makeup, etc. ( Read more... )

I'm sure that, like myself, most all of you are still reeling over the tragedy at Fort Hood yesterday. It really hit me hard because that base is a very important part of my past. I've visited it because it was where my father was stationed when he met my mom. My thoughts and prayers are with all of those affected by this horrible event. We'll ( Read more... )

Wow! I can't believe I haven't updated this since Monday. Sorry about that. I don't really remember doing much on Tuesday which is probably why I didn't update then. Yesterday was busy though. I did laundry, then had lunch with beldar, spent some time with carrie_rapp, ran a few errands, and by the time I got home I barely had time to have dinner and do my homework ( Read more... )

Well, I managed to get beldar on the road this morning with a good breakfast and a few gifts for the kiddos down there. I'm really gonna miss him while we're apart these next few days. This is the longest we've ever been apart without me being in the hospital (and I still had daily visits them). So this weekend is gonna be a bit hard on me ( Read more... )

I'm sure you've probably all heard by now that Majel Barrett has died.

This is especially sorrowful to me because I had met her and have a few fond memories of her.

My best Majel story if from the year that she was a special guest at GenCon. beldar & I were walking through the dealers room when we ran into a friend and spent some time catching up ( Read more... )
