I have been here just lurking around J-land and other spots on the web. I just haven't felt too much like leaving comments or being really social.
Lately my depression has gotten the best of me. I have had it for years and from time to time it gets bad and right now I am in one of those dark periods. I was hoping that with the new meds I would start feeling better but doesn't look like it is going to happen any time soon.
I could go on about how I am feeling and what goes through my mind when I am like this but I won't. Unless you have suffered with clinical depression you wouldn't understand. Oh, I know you would say you do, and you may even think you do, but trust me -- you have no idea.
Cats are getting along great. I am so pleased that Sophie has someone she can play with. I really miss Sadie though. I miss all the pets I have had to put to sleep just these past few years. It has been too many.
Finally got my aunt's house cleaned out. Dad and some of his friends are working on painting the inside, I think we will hire someone to paint the outside. Then we will put it up for sale. Can't wait! Mom is letting me have the money from the sale to pay my house off with. This is about the best thing that could happen, I live on a fixed income (out of work on disability because of my depression and panic disorder) and this would make life so much easier for me.
Sorry about the gross graphic above. I have tons of graphics but couldn't find one that sort of went with the way I am feeling right now.
Take care.
Hello everyone. I hope you have been having a great Valentine's
day. I hate Valentines Day, but I hope yours has been a good
one.
Maggie is doing great. All she needed was some antibotics,
love and oh, yeah, canned cat food! She really chows down on
that stuff. She wants more than I will give her. Yeah, I'm a
mean mom. I make her eat some dry cat food too. She gets
plenty of both so don't worry about her!
Maggie and Sophie are getting along great -- finally. At
first they were fighting, really fighting, but now they are
playing more and more, and even play fighting. This is great as
Sophie has so much engery I can't keep up with her.
We had some snow last week. The weather man didn't call for
it, we just woke up to about an inch one day. It was gone by
lunch. It was so pretty.
If you are a regular here you probably know that I suffer
with depression and panic attacks. Lately the depression has
gotten the better of me and that is why I haven't been
writing here much. Oh it will pass and I will feel better
but right now I am just blah. Nothing really interest me.
Just got an update. Linny is back in J-land. She had a stroke
last year, and well had all kinds of problems with that butshe
has re-joined us so go welcome her back --->> Linny
I just found out about another J-land that has had a recent
death in her family. Sierrajazz's 20 year old daughter died
in a car accident just last week. Go show some love ok?
Ok that's about it for now. Take care go welcome Linny back
and then go visit SierraJazz and leave some love.
Remember the J-land that suddenly lost her husband? She is now asking for our prayers. His death is really hitting her hard right now and she is having trouble coping. Please visit and leave a comment I know she can really use it right now.

AOL and Yahoo will sell people the right to bypass our spam filters. (emails)
just got this from Joe (journal editor guy)
Hi, I would say it's inaccurate.
The short answer: the whitelist isn't going away, and spammers won't be
able to pay their way into your mailbox.
Honestly, I think we're in good shape here.
I talked to the postmaster mentioned in the article, Charles Stiles --
he suggests folks look at a comment he's left on the subject:
http://www.feld.com/blog/archives/2006/02/has_aol_just_en.html#comments
(his comment begins with the term "Sour Grapes"), where he says:
"First, AOL will continue to offer IP-based white list and enhanced
white list privileges to mailers that do not wish to take advantage of
the CertifiedEmail program. As long as there is market demand and
operational need for these services, AOL will continue to operate
them."
Jason Calacanis has also blogged about it:
http://www.calacanis.com/2006/02/05/nyt-check-in-on-goodmail-debate-or-we
-are-keeping-the-white-li/
I am suggesting to the postmaster folks that they post a response
addressing all this on the postmaster.info.aol.com site, to clear up
any lingering confusion.
I hadn't planned on blogging about it, though I might if I need to.
Thanks,
Joe

I need some technical help! And I know one of you will know the answer. At least I hope so!
I have known for a little while this was going on, but now it is really getting to me and I want it to stop.
I have folder in "my pictures" that I did not put there. It is called "pictures downloaded from aol" with a subfolder called "saved from mail".
When I first discovered this file there were thousands and thousands of graphics there. I couldn't figure out what the heck was going on.
It seems like every graphic/photo that hits my mailbox is saved into this folder. Every thing! Even from mail I don't open! Being in email groups you sometimes get mail that has "AC" (adult content) so I just delete them, never open them. Well in this litte folder that I can't delete (the folders, I can delete the graphics) there is porn! What if someone was looking through my graphics and happened upon this file? I would die.
I tend to forget the file is there from time to time and when I go there there will be thousands of graphics that I have to delete. Why is my computer doing this? Did I do something? How can I stop it? Don't say "delete the file" because it won't let me!
I am sick of cleaning it out and it really bugs me that it saves every graphic that hits my mailbox -- even if I don't open it!
Can someone please help me?
I took Maggie back to the vet today. I just felt that she was still sick and something was wrong. I was right. She is still running a low fever and one of her eyes has started to water. She got a shot and I have some eye drops for here and some liquid meds to get into her twice a day. I dread doing that. But whatever it takes.
But the big news was her weight! I couldn't tell if she was eating much (with 2 cats you can't tell), but I thought she was eating some dry cat food. Wrong. On Jan 30th she weighted 6.20 pounds, today she was down to 5.40 pounds! Almost a whole pound in less than a week. The vet offered Maggie some canned cat food and she went nuts! You would think I was starving my little girl. Needless to say I hit the store and got some delious (ick) can food for my baby. I so wanted both cats to be on dry food but it's not to be. At least not for now.
Here is a picture of Maggie I took a couple days ago:
She makes me think of a black panther, or a puma or something. She may be small but I bet (once we get her all heathly) the heart of one of those big cats is in her!
