Should be the last day with the contractor

Then we will all be "happy". Now we have to find a gardener. Our old cats want "OWWWWWWWT! NNNNNAAOOW!". That's one sign of approval! Sign in to see full entry.

Is it just my imagination or are we all harboring sick pets?

When I was young, our pets would be healthy; maybe get a little sick now and then, but would shortly succumb if it was serious. My newlywed wife and I sunk a few hundred dollars into saving our first two cats (1974 prices, and working for near minimum wage)from distemper. They lasted another fifteen...

Nothing today. This blog is perched on 999 hits. Come knok it off the fence

As a sidebar to this sidebar...if one sends an email to a blogger who left via their personal profile page in Blogit and it isn't returned, does that mean it went, or that Blogit absorbed the rejection notice? Sign in to see full entry.

Thanks

For the opportunity we come to take for granted to speak and be heard, to listen, and to comment. For a roof over our heads and the water and food we can so freely partake of.

Well, it's about done. The yard, that is.

I had nine years to get it together and I failed. So, tens of thousands of dollars later, borrowed at a nice rate, plus two weeks work, we now have the setting for "gracious outdoor living" thanks to a contractor. I joked with him about this as we selected plants. "You know, I screwed ths up and... Sign in to see full entry.

Morgan Freeman, Paraphrased, On Race...

"Just quit talking about it, damn it". He recognizes that people come from different backgrounds, look and sound different, but his take on it all is this: If you are here to build a house, swing a hammer.

PS to this morning's comments and posting:

I do believe I've screwed the pooch this time. Oh, well, not the first time. Don't mean to hurt any individuals, just being the wonder* that is..."ME". *The "wonder", on a daily basis, is that I'm not lynched. Sign in to see full entry.

Failure to blog...why the blank look, MajRoj?

I have to admit that there is actually a concatenation of factors which make it impossible, no, unappealing, to post or comment. As much as I am a subscriber to the mind-over-matter-school of thought ("If I've a mind to, then it doesn't matter, I'll do it"), an attitude towards blogging comes up... Sign in to see full entry.

I wonder if posting can be correlated to news items?

Do headlines like "Car Bomb Kills Thirty" presage less blogging? Or "Bloging Causes Hair Loss"? Sign in to see full entry.

Just a catch-up

To my "ideal readers" I apologoize for not contributing to "the cacophony that is...BLOGIT". I have been busy with work (one teammate quit), house and home (interviewing contractors), health (spouse going in for a non-emergenct but necessary procedure), and the usual (attended two and a half day...
