Ya' know that cat litter commercial where the cats all come over to
one house & have a party while their hoomans are gone?

That happened at my house today.

My guys seem to fly past me & get outside every time I try leaving for
a Dr's. appointment. Most of the time I do not have the time (or the
physical wherewithall) to get them back in & still catch my
handicapped bus. SO today I left the back door open just a skosh so
they could get back in. I was only going to be gone for 2 hours. I
figured it'd be ok.

When I got home, 2 of the neighborhood strays were IN MY HOUSE with
Pooh & Tipper!! They hightailed it out of here pretty fast once they
saw me though.

Once I got the stereo turned down, vacuumed up all the confetti &
pulled down the disco ball I confronted my furry kids. And of course
they were all sweet & innocent...."What? You TOLD us to be nice &
make friends, right??!!" as they both ppbbllfttt'd out some confetti
that was in their mouths.

BUSTED!!! Ok, Voxers. Grounding them doesn't seem to do the trick.
What do YOU think would be an appropriate punishment for such
SHENANIGANS??!!! I am at my wit's end, I tell ya! Sheesh!!!

ACK! This is what was attached to that strange sighting this morning. It seems to sleep a lot so I guess there's not TOO much danger.

Right? :-/

I just saw this online & was very surprised.

Judge: No College Credits for Creationist Classes

I guess I thought the rights offered in the First Amendment were still
honored in this country.

I dunno. If college credit is given for courses like "Comparitive (or
World) Religions" or others in Sociology course options, how can a
judge rule this way? Isn't it discrimination,

And I'm curious....what do YOU think? Am I being naíve? Weigh in.

BREAKING NEWS!

Yeah, there are those OTHER games over on NBC. But the Puppy Games is
being broadcast continuously tonight through 3am Saturday!

"Dozens of puppies will compete in athletic events, including swimming
& gymnastics". Viewers can go to AnimalPlanet.com & vote for who YOU
think should go home with the GOLD!!

In depth profiles on each pup-lete will also be a part of this momentous event.

(Squee!)

There will be an Encore broadcast on August 23 from 5pm to 11pm.

How many of you plan to be glued to your TV's for the next 16 (?)
days, watching the Olympics?

I was hoping to be able to watch the live video stream on
NBCOlympics.com, but then I saw this:
"Browsers must have the Windows Vista operating system and Microsoft
Silverlight software before viewing NBC Olympics videos. Olympics fans
can download the MS Silverlight software".
Yeah, ok. But I don't have Windows Vista. Do you? My son Josh tells
me (& I've read too) that Vista has a lot of glitches that Microsoft
then has to send out a patch for. Plus I've heard you have to have a
pretty beefed up PC just to run the software. *sigh*

I guess I'll have to just watch the taped delay when it's shown on TV.
I haven't been able to find a channel who will be broadcasting live
either, & I have a gazillion cable channels to choose from too!

Does anybody know of a website or TV channel who WILL be broadcasting
live? I watch almost all of it. I can live without the weight
lifting, shot put, discus hurling & pole vaulting. But I enjoy the
rest! 8-D

GO TEAM USA!!!

I don't get this. Isn't this a clear violation of our civil rights?

Sorry for the link post, but I'm moblogging & wanted to get your
feedback on this. I for one do not understand how they can do this.
In the U.S.A.? Shouldn't they at least have to have probable cause?
Or a search warrant?

Ok, so NOW my surgery has been re-scheduled for August 11, 2008, at
10:30am at Highline Medical Center, Burien, WA. This date will be
good UNLESS my blood work doesn't cooperate by then. :-/ *sigh*

Oops! Link correction

Bridge Ministries here in the Seattle area can be found at www.bridgemin.org :-D

Well everyone, there will be no surgery this coming Monday. 8-/
*sigh* My blood platelets are still almost double what they should
be, & my white blood count is also still elevated. :-(

So now I have to see my family doctor every other week & have new
blood tests every week until I'm back to normal. (THAT could be a
loooong wait!! LOL!)

Surgery has been rescheduled for August 18th at 1:30pm PDT. But this
will happen ONLY if my blood work is "within normal limits".

A little better news is that I will be receiving the gift of a manual
wheelchair within the hour. This is made possible through
http://BridgeMinistries.com, a local ministry for the physically
and/or disabled, home bound, etc. One of the many services they
provide is providing mobility equipment for persons who cannot afford
to buy one. The equipment is donated by families who no longer need
it. Then volunteers refurbish the items & make them available to
someone in need. When I no longer need it I will return it, along
with my walker, maybe even my cane! I'm hoping that one day I can be
like those people on TV that go to those "healing" services with the
well-known evangelist, throw down their crutches, and shout "I'm
HEALED!! HalleLUjah!!!" 8-D Can ya' see it? ;-) hee.hee

MANY many thanks for ALL of your encouragement, prayer, & well-wishes!
I want you all to know how truly grateful & blessed I am by your
friendship & caring. My Vox peeps are the BEST!! I love you all LOTS
& LOTS!!!
