THIS IS AN EXPERIMENT
Wed Jul 13 2005


This is only an experiment.

Just want to see if fonts and colors will translate from Word to DD.

It's HOT here. Supposed to be 103, today, but I'll manage. It's supposed to be 108 in Tucson where my sister lives. Those five degrees can mage a HUGE difference. While their humidity is in single digits, ours is in double digits. But at least low double digits.

I went out early (early for me) to do some bill paying and pet purchases. I discovered that Verizon is right next door to Petco, so I was able to complete two errands at the same time. Decided to go to the bank tomorrow (early).

I bought a 30 pound bucket of cat litter. It's still in the car. Have to wait until I can snag one of my muscular neighbors to haul it into the house for me.

Toesies simply does not want any of the sample kibbles the vet gave me. He eats the canned food with much gusto, but canned food only causes rapid development of plaque on cats' teeth. And that's expensive to remove. Anyway, I bought a small bag of kibble with the assurance that if Toesies doesn't like it I can bring it back.

I never had any problem with Banshee. Megan had him well-trained, and he eats most anything I put before him. Good boy.

I hope I don't jinx myself by reporting this, but three times this month I've received money I didn't expect. So I've created a travel jar, uh, fund. The money goes into the jar. I may make it to London or Israel after all. Wouldn't want my passport to go to waste.

I made some sun tea with regular tea bags and blueberry-flavored bags. Tasty, but could use another blueberry bag for a fuller flavor.

Well, now, let's see how this works.

Shalom

Oh, by the way, Megan has finally gotten her night shift. It's at a different site, but with the same company. So there goes my mostly weekly visit with her on-site. I tried to time my arrival for her lunch break, and have a nosh or a sip with her. But no way am I going to meet her at 2:00am for any reason. At least she has off two days in a row now. It's tough to manage a home, have time with a child, and do the myriad errands on one day off.

OK, that's it for today.

    I don't know anything about Plus Accounts.. I do all mine freebee

    As for the kitty.. try mixing some of the dry food in with the canned and then more and more until she is off the canned.. as you say.. it isn't good for her..
    dry food is best.. also yu could add some milk to it at first..
    just a suggestion
    WE are hot too
    hope we survive
    got to run
    hugs

    Yea it was 99 here but you pull ip a blankie by 1AM with the house open. I close up in morning and it rarely gets to 80 by late afternoon.
    If it does I have A/C in the Bunk house. I have not posted as Dustbunny3 for some time as up early with fixing things and yard work . I can take the 90 long as cloudy but that is rare here,
    so get done by 11am or I melt.
    As a rule if you feed both at same time and dish the little one will come around.

    It sometimes takes a few days for the plus account to kick in, particularly if Steve has a lot on his plate.

    For changes in font style and color, you will need to use html. I can e-mail you the tags if you would like. Then you can just copy and paste it into your diary as desired. Or check out these sites if you're inclined to play with HTML, it is really quite easy once you get the hang of it:

    Congratulations on being DD Plus! I've appreciated it for the Hamipiks account, primarily, but then they added the ability to use Bloggar, and I love that! It makes it easy to include links and do stuff like italics and bold face, even if you don't know HTML.

    I haven't been able to change fonts though, except by learning the HTML code for it.

    That's great, about the money!

    Hugs,
    Ani

    PS Sorry to be so long getting back here. It feels good, though!

    Thank you for the nice long note and catch-up time. I'm so sorry about your health problems and glad your family's doing well. I'm gonna try to do better about writing even if it's boring--just for you...I stay so busy that I don't get a lot of computer time. I do miss my friends at Dear Diary. I feel so out of touch. Oh and I got your package a while back and followed the directions -- hope that worked out as you wanted. forgot to tell you my apartment # changed from 708 to 606. I moved just across the lawn to a larger apartment -- had to wait until one was available. Anyway the post office forwarded it but thought you'd want to know about the change. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

    Duct tape works better than chains, it leaves fewer bruises...

    OK, just kidding. Besides, my kids take after my brother and using duct tape on such hairy skin would be cruel and unusual punishment!

    If I need them to have some down time, all I have to do is introduce a new video game to them. It works every time! #2 is just oversaturated with inactivity. I'm fixing that now by having him do the dishes!
