This was stolen from several people.  I can't do the hyper-linky thing with livejournal names....so this is from Shiny.

Ferrets - I had a ferret a when I was young.  I was a bad owner.  I had lots of guilt, but still liked them.  I finally decided to get more, when Jamie and Cercesi fell into my lap by the "Used Animal Saleswoman" of a vet that I ( Read more... )

I have never, ever, been particularly interested in politics.  There are many things that the government has done that I do not necessarily agree with, and I have complained/ranted about them.  But all in all I just sorta let the realist inside me "deal" with them by chalking it up to "the way things are," and that they are unlikely to change.  I ( Read more... )
