Wednesday the 17th

Yesterday I took my mom grocery shopping.  It was horrible.  I have been having a lot of anexity lately and being out in public just made it worse.  I was right on the edge of a full blown panic attack by the time I got her home.  At least she did get to do her shopping before I told her we just had to leave.

While I was online yesterday trying to do a few things little miss Sophie decides to play at my feet.  No problem right?  Wrong.  Right in the middle of things my screen goes black.  What the?  Somehow she had managed to unplug everything.  So I get the plug back in, log back on, get in the middle of something and my screen goes blank again.  Was ready to throw Sophie out the window.  (not really)  This time she had stepped on the on/off thing on my power surge protecter thing.  I got everything turned back on but I gave up on doing anything on line.  I was really p.o.ed by then.

 

If you are the least bit interested in reality shows or the rich and famous you have to check on the new show on E!  It is called "Filthy Rich Cattle Drive"  It has 10 children (adult children) of the really wealthy on it.  This ain't no Paris Hilton show.  These people are expected to drive cattle!  So funny are the women!  They were wondering how they would use their blow dryers and flat irons when they camped on along the trail.  When they saw the rancher's version of a "port a potty" I thought they were going to die!  You gotta check this show out.

In just a few more days it will be J-land's 2 anniversary.  Not as much going on this year as last but still things you will want to check out.  Click on the partying bears to go to Vivian's to see what all is going on.

Well that's all I have for now.  Got to feed the little 4 legged kids that I have.  Take care.  Hope to see everyone at the anniversary chat.

Friday!  At last.  And this has been one hot week.  Into the 90's every day I think.

While reading Vivian's journal about J-land's 2nd Anniversary I started thinking about what I could do to participate.  Then I saw a Christmas count down ticker in Stuart's journal and thought I could do that.  Hopefully I did it right and it will count down right.  Copy/paste if you want to:

 

 

 I hear about this on the news or somewhere then I found an article on it.  What?  Ligers!  What the heck is a Liger?  See picture:

 

At first glance it looks like a lion, but if you look closely you can see some tiger markings on it.  Click on the picture to go to story.  I don't understand why man wants to try to "create" new animals.  As the article says most of the Ligers born at the zoo aren't really healthy.

Yesterday I got a check from the assisted living place my aunt was living in.  They refunded part of June's payment.  I thought they should but I wasn't going to try to get it out of them.  The check is for $500 so it was great to get.  Sure can use it to do some work on my aunt's house so we can sell it.

Looks like I am getting some new neighbors.  The house has been empty for over a year.  The couple that lived there before moved out and the house had to go through forclosure.  As much as they were asking for the house I am surprised that it sold.  Maybe they came down on the price.

One of my parent's neighbors is in jail. "A" got arrested for driving with a suspended license.  (I am not sure why it was suspended but suspect DUI)  He is having to spend 60 days in jail for it.  I know his wife must be upset.  But then she had to know that he was driving without a license. 

John is pimping a journal that is all about Big Brother 6. etvjackie subscribes to the CBS live feed of the show and writes about what she sees on that feed.  And if your like me and too cheap to pay for the feed it is great to get information from someone that does.  It is the only way you will find out the Beau urinated during Thursday's head of household competition.  Let's face it, they ain't showing that on the tv.  LOL  The offical BB6 site is here: Big Brother 6.

That's it for now.  See ya around J-land.

 

Just another day in August

 

Nothing much going on around here.  Took Sadie back to the vet and let him run some tests on her.  Didn't really find out anything we didn't already know.  Because of some birth defects she was born with she is likely to get infection in/around her throat/nose fairyly often.  Neither she nor I were happy to hear about that.

The other day I got some really pretty shower curtains in the mail.  Not something I would usually order but they are on clearence and the price is unbelieveable.  Regularly $29.95 marked down to $7.97, and the matching curtian rings were under $4.00.  Got them from the National Wildlife Catalog. (click here to see the shower curtains).

The happy little octopus here has nothing to do with entry.  I found a whale site I wanted to tell you about but I don't have a whale graphic so you get the cute little octopus instead.  Wailing Whales plays the sounds a whale makes.  It is beautiful yet lonely sounding.  They also show some pictures of the whales. 

While fliping the tv trying to find something to watch I stopped on the Food Network as they had a candy story on.  There is this place in San Fransico called See's Candies, Inc.  They have a store right beside where they make the candy.  It looked so good! Check out their site, the candies aren't really all that expensive.  I may have to order some!

Still cleaning out my Aunt E's house.  It is taking forever.  I guess I just don't spend enough time in one chunk to get it done.  I just do a little here and a little there.  I was going to try to have a yard sale with some of the stuff but have about decided to just call the veterans or Salvation Army to come get the stuff. 

Sophie (my kitten) has so much energy that I get tired just watching her!  I have got to get some pictures and post them of her.  She is black with brown eyes.  So cute.

Guess that's it for now.

Another death

I don't know what it is but it sure seems like J-land has had a lot of illness and deaths this summer.  I am guessing most of you already know but in case you don't -- Kat's (aka sunflowerkat) sister and nephew were killed in a car accident a few days ago.

Kat's journal is private but ondinemonet is letting everyone leave messages here at her place:  Ellipsis.  She also has links to newspaper articles about the accident.  Please go and leave a hug for Kat.

Another J-lander needs your love

I just read over at queenbigo's that StupidSheetGuy lost a friend this past weekend.  He appears to be taking it very badly.  Please drop over to his place and let him know that he isn't alone at a time like this.

Thanks everyone.
