I have a new cast and its really hard to type.  Deal with it. This is gonna be a short one.

Last weekend, I shaved Simons head for Him, as I do on a regular basis during the summer.

As I was doing it, I had a craving, a deep desire, to hand Him the clippers and let Him shave mine when I was done.

My luxurious red hair has always been a source of pride and vanity for me.  Lately though, it's lost its fire, and I have to color it artificially in order to be satisfied with i...

Recently another blogger admitted he took delight in trying to annoy me, and considered himself something of a 'success' in that endeavor.  His exact, self-congratulatory words were as follows:

But I get a kick out of driving her nuts and watching her pull every insult she can come up with and barely put a scratch on me.

For the record, I don't interact with this blogger often but he seems to place far more importance on our occasional interactions than I do.  My response to this...

Yes, folks, it's true.  Or it isn't.  (And if it isn't true, then I've been libeled by the same person who is arguing about libel with Ock and Mari. http://forums.joeuser.com/310858.)

Lately we've had a couple of new bloggers making their presence known in JU, one seems truly new (erathoniel) and one's been around a while on the gaming forums, but must have been attracted here by the new and improved cross-posting system recently implemented by the JU Gods.  (All the Gods ...

Let's make one thing clear first, I am not a 'Democrat.' In fact, I think three-quarters of those who refer to themselves these days aren't really 'democrats.'  They are leftists wearing democratic clothing, but I can assure you there is nothing democratic about leftist regimes.  Read your history books, kiddies.  Read and learn.

That being said, I have had a deep and abiding dislike of Hillary Clinton since her hubby Bill first took office and she took it upon herself to attem...

Hiya folks, just a few updates:

1) Please forgive typos, i am still in a cast, still in some pain, and my sutures don't come out until the 21st.  All seems to be going ok except for some really unpleasant tingling in my fingertips, will call doctor today about that.

2) Simon starts a new job today, a 2 year contract right here in Richmond @ 42k per year.  He'll also get 10 paid holidays, a week's paid sick leave, a week's paid vacation, and health insurance.  I was hopi...

1)  I called the vet this morning and Greybaby and kittens are doing fine, she's growling at them when they go to change her food and water but not attacking, and she readily adopted the orphan they needed a wet nurse for.  They are going to continue to try to socialize her, but if they aren's successful, they will return her to me to finish out her life in the neighborhood she knows, spayed and fully vaccinated, free of charge.  God bless you, Dr Nan Jack.

2) I spend Wednesday...

I have two neutered male cats, Noodles, the Kitty From Outer Space, who we brought with us from Ohio, and Darth Meeps, Lord of the Couch, who was fathered by Noodle before his denutting, born to a neighborhood slattern, and later kitnapped by yours truly.  In exchange for stealing one of her children, I later had the slut spayed and found homes for them all.

Since we moved to this side of town two years ago, we've been building a relationship of sorts with a fluffy, squeaky-voiced, grey ...

This originally started as a comment on another thread, but I thought the observation deserved an article of its own, so here we go.

The latest and greatest 'FOX NEWS ALERT' flashing across the screen every 3 minutes (for the last couple of days) complete with alarmingly bright graphics, suspense-building musical scores, and breathless announcements concerns a high schooler who got a 'zero' on his art assignment because he included a cross and a bible verse on it.

"Children have rights too and parents have certain rights which end when they intrude too far into a child's right to live. A parents cannot act in such a way, that is essentially, criminally negligent. And so the parent's right to bring up the child in the way the parent thinks best - an important right and one which government has no business fooling around with, ends at the point at which the parent's actions endanger the lives of kids."

Yesterday to my delight and surprise I recieved a package from Kelly W, a blogger I read often but whose threads I rarely comment on, my preference for the past couple of years being on the debate that follows political articles or screeds about volatile topics.  Kelly writes more fiction and 'slice of life' sort of stuff, and while it's excellent and entertaining it doesn't lend itself well to (my sort of)  commentary.  I do want her to know I read, though.  Hers and Jo...

Warning: Pissy little rant to follow.  You don't like it?  Go away.

I'm taking a break from JU.  Lately it seems like I log in, poke around and find little of interest, seeing that I am not into gaming, skinning, arguments about which O/S is best, or the endless repetition of various jesus-freaks that pollute these forums, no longer content to confine their bigoted screeds to the religion section.

Christ-on-a-pony, the most exciting thing that's happened around here lately (...

This (claims to be) an actual letter from an Austin woman sent to American company Proctor and Gamble regarding their feminine products. She really gets rolling after the first paragraph. It's PC Magazine's 2007 editors' choice for best webmail-award-winning letter. (I don't vouch for its authenticity, but share it only because it made me laugh and I hope it will do the same for you.)

 Dear Mr. Thatcher,

 A couple of weeks ago I wrote about some issues I was having with a crazed neighbor who kept threatening to kill my cats (because *some* cat left pawprints on her car) and engaging in long, obnoxious tirades outside our living room window--full of venom, obscenity, threats and racial slurs.

For the full background, see link above.  Suffice it to say that the police could do little without third-party witnesses to the behavior, and she had succeeded in actually trapping one of my h...
