I say the more things change the more they stay the same.. Aye?

SO the inspector came and went. She was very invasive. Took several pictures of my things..
'Oh no, I'm just taking pictures of the apartment.'
Yet, they were of my pictures on my walls, my kitchen, my houseplants, my stuff!!!
Then opening and looking under the sink, opens the shower curtain, oh man, I felt like.. good grief, I really hope she doesn't try to open the storage closet.. And thankfully, she didn't.
I tried to create a document with MS Word and ended up downloading an update which took over 4 hours. I am done now.. and off to run errands before therapist comes and Dear GS is home from school.

Oh I need a nap.
What stress!!!!

Interesting how relevant those quotes are today, eh?

Very filling and economical dish .Yummy and so nostalgic to this ex pat .Havent made it in donkeys years and I am a yorkshire lass . I should be ashamed ..lol !

Have you ever checked your hits on the top menu bar? I find it interesting that my counter and the hits this site records are way different. I don't always comment either, sometimes with this old dialup connection it takes too long.
I appreciate all your words of wisdom.
((HUGS))

awwww, poor kitty hehe. reminds me of the time just recently that i found jessica caught up in the pulley for the vertical blinds and was meowing pitifully because she couldn't get out

One of our cats did something similar with an empty kleenex box once that was probably in the top ten funniest things I ever witnessed. Only he was going backwards..... you had to be there.

:-)

Cats rule and you never are a master of them.
We had (FRED) as one to share our life that RULED our property. There was never a dog that was too big or mean that learned that this cat did not run and they never made the same mistake twice , Fred would wait and leap in the air to land on thier head or back and all one saw was dog hair flying in all directions along with screaming cat and howling dog running like a blur.

Precious story..
I can just see it all !!!!!
I had a Russian Blue way back when..(1968) I lived in an apartment above a Pizzeria.. Well, this kitty cat, got into the cooling duct somehow.. We could hear her meowing all over the building, but could not get at her. Finally my husband had to climb up on top of the extra huge pizza oven and bang on the cooler piping for Silver Puss to come towards me and final rescue.. Oh yes the indignity. She allowed me to hold her until she quit shaking and wouldn't leave my side the rest the night. She walked opposite wall of venting from then on..
;-)

LOL at the cat! I can't WAIT to have a couple of the little things. Now that I know I have a second income and will also be working from home, I can do that easily. Yahoo!!!!! (see latest entry)

Great quotes, food for thought. (The thoughts that come to mind are giving me indigestion, however! hehehehe).

Kitties, just gotta love them!

as ever you have given me things to think about, very interesting quote

This was an unscientific survey of over 4000 active, reserve and guard military members conducted Sept. 15-28 by the Army Times Publishing Co., which distributes the weekly newspapers Army Times, Navy Times, Air Force Times and Marine Corps Times.

There is a less detailed version of the article read available at:
http://www.military.com/NewsContent/0,13319,FL_vote_100404,00.html

As a note, the article the above link goes to, is only about a fourth of the size and detail of the article I read in the Times. I've been unable to find that article online at a free site. It is available through paid subscriptions at www.airforcetimes.com

I forgot to mention, about the kids rooms...
they will be given a time limit, and if they don't meet it they will lose their TV's for a yet to be determined amount of time.

With three boys who always try to pull gang-up games on me and each other, I've learned some preventive techniques to avoid their trying to pull any stunts like the ones you've suggested.

I'm still thinking about getting that 2 x 4 though...

awww, thanks for the note about jessica :))

i do believe she had attempted to step through the pulley strings, you know how cats are, and then got it stuck around her belly

i hope your dear cat has recovered from his indignity!

Poor cat... of course I think that he'd do it again if there were another sack lurking about.
