I had a fun Christmas. I won a "Major Award" (re: the movie "A Christmas Story"), and now the lamp graces the front window in my dining room right next to my Red Ryder BB-gun. My sister got it for me. She played it to the hilt--a fake telegram announcing my award and a delivery to the front door. I identify totally with that movie...

Christmas shopping is pretty much done. I sent the care package off to Australia Monday, and spent the rest of the day depleting my bank account. I'm now officially poor! The fridge and cupboards are stocked, so no worry.
My neighbor died last weekend--I was there--so I'm going to the funeral home today, and tomorrow I'll attend his funeral. While we were standing around waiting...

Ive always wanted to shoot a bb gun, haha! Why oh why did I have to be a GIRL? Would I have gotten the bb gun for xmas if I had been a boy? We'll never know! I *did*, however, buy myself an air pistol when I was 14, and shit those suckers can hurt SOOO badly when u get hit with them, way worse than paintballs! I used to setup cans on a fence and go to town. Im a great shot 
Why not fly out to australia some yr to make it happen with ur kids/grandkids?

Thanksgiving Day is nearly upon us, and I will be spending it with my brother's in-laws in Kalamazoo. It will be potluck, so there'll be plenty of good food and fellowship.
The puppy-demon, a German Shepherd and Rottweiler mix, is growing like a weed and is becoming more civilized. Except for an occasional slip, he's almost house trained. He's still a puppy-demon, though, and sneaks...

You always give me the best replies to my journals! That also tells me that you are truly reading them, haha, most ppl just skim through or just answer the questions ... and most of the time the answers are breif and didnt seem to spark anything in their brains like I had intended. Im here to give u a round of applause *hands clapping*

lmmfao - great thought. Oh the things you could pull out of that CD slot.
After some of the most pleasant fall weather I can ever remember, it has finally turned chilly and rainy. It's getting close to the time when I have to break out the winter gear. Yuck! The leaves are beginning to fall which means raking and bagging. I get too many leaves to bag them all, so most end up along the back fence line.

Aww man, u got the best of both worlds with that new pup of yours, I love both breeds probably equally. Then agn I also love dobermans, so I wouldnt know which of the three to get. Thats amazing that your lab is so old! Big dogs have such short lives in comparison to small ones. You must be giving him one hella good reason to stick around Maybe it's cuz you're "a handsome lad" lol
Maybe it's cuz you're "a handsome lad" lolAfter four weeks this miserable chicken pox revisited seems to be dissipating. Mobility is returning to my arm, though it's still weak. The pain persists, though much less than it was. It was irritating not being able to even get the tube of toothpaste from the medicine cabinet with my right hand. Now I can grasp the tube and squeeze it to my heart's delight....

After my brother got most of his things cleared out and went back to Pittsburgh, it's been rather dull around here. I go to Planet Rock on Fridays and Saturdays and drink a few beers while getting my eardrums pounded by heavy metal, but other than that, not much happening.
Oh, yeah! I forgot! This week has been rather trying. I got poison Ivy and...

Well, it seems I did not fix the problem that was causing Runtime Error 6025. I got SG to work temporarily on my laptop, but then the error started popping up again. I haven't a clue what is causing it. Any suggestions?
For ages my laptop was haunted by spyware. It was the classic wretched spyware that sent pop-ups to my screen whenever I got onto the NET. There was everything from E-Bay to porn flitting across my screen. I tried all of the software you could think of to scan for it and remove it. Hijack, Ad-Aware, McAfee--nothng worked. I even tried reloading the operating system...

i don't believe horror movies and kids are a bad combination...as long as they know it's just a movie! i started watching them when i was still a kid, and i think i turned out fine!
I would be more inclined to compare GWB to the last years of Leonid Brezhnev's rule of the USSR, when his personality cult started to fall apart. But even at the end, Brezhnev was more cunning and intelligent than GWB.
Look here, mister! I want an update, telling me alll the wonderful things goin on in your life! I give u exactly 3 days! Ok a week.
