Keeping Kitty in my sister’s old bedroom makes me more than ever want to rip up the carpet. It’s all very well and good to keep the carpet in my own bedroom, due to its history, but to keep THAT carpet is almost unthinkable. My sister’s bedroom was the first to get carpet. She chose a nice dark blue. She gave me a little scrap of it to put next ( Read more... )

I just shut down my PC 3 times and it came right back up! It seems nothing short of miraculous, but the reason is that I disconnected my onboard data card reader. It hasn’t solved all the problems, but it’s a very good start. Nevertheless, my PC gave me the Blue Screen of Death overnight, and once yesterday before I disconnected it, so we may ( Read more... )

I am having surgery on 10/15 and I keep wondering if I’m going to quit bleeding anytime between now and then. I have had 4 or 5 abscesses in the exact same place since 2005 and the third specialist finally found the cause: a fistula. So I had the abscess lanced but it has not quit bleeding since, even though it’s been quite a long time ago now. ( Read more... )

Kitty is about 18 years old. She was most probably in the Spring or Fall of 1991 or 1992, and I found her with two litter mates dumped along the side of the road on my way home from school, but it might have been the Spring of 1992, or in fact, any time in Junior High, but I do know that when my sister’s Netherland lopeared bunny, Arthur, died on ( Read more... )

FYI, I have a rough draft of my dystopian novel in my writing journal. There are still some gaps, filled with summary, but anyone who has friended my writing journal, I'd appreciate if you'd go over and give me your opinion, thanks. Like, how to describe a zipper from the perspective of someone who has never seen a zipper, that's very important ( Read more... )

Why do they print books on such cheap pulp? Sometimes, I take out a paperback that has never been read or maybe only once, and it’s pages are so yellow, but not even uniformly yellow, but faded in such a way that it makes me a little seasick to try to read them. It is so nice to get one’s hands on a good, old book that wasn’t printed on pulp. I ( Read more... )

My mom’s almost-6-month-old Great Dane Abraham broke his leg the day before yesterday. We don’t know how it happened. Mom went to a meeting at Grandma’s nursing home to discuss what to do since Grandma has been losing 2 pounds a month for the past 3 months. Since she’d gained weight due to one of her meds, Mom decided not to do anything unless ( Read more... )

My PC is still not right. It turns itself off a lot. It usually will not turn back on until I’ve taken the memory out and put it back in. Even after that, it usually freezes either on the splash screen, or on the American Megatrends screen (the screen where it says Primary Master, Primary Slave, Secondary Master, Secondary Slave, and all that, I ( Read more... )

I wanted to share some info on here, I know it's been a ridiculously long time since I've posted, my PC doesn't work, I've RMAed and/or tested everything, my motherboard is out for its third RMA. Anyway, I have some interesting info I'd like to share ( Read more... )
