Wretched, ungrateful little shit children
My parents weren't profoundly strict, or particularly full of all sorts of etiquette rules. They were, in fact, pretty lax in that department. We never wrote thank you cards, for example. It was simply not something we were ever taught to do ( Read more... ) -
Ranting about health care
This was an exchange between myself and someone on Facebook that I knew from high school, and who approached me. She is JK, I am "You" and "Me ( Read more... ) -
Socks the dog
Our beloved Brynna kitty died at 18.5 years old. She had failing kidneys and heart problems. She passed away at the vet's office. They took her in the back to get blood and urine for testing, and she arrested. They did all they could for her but she was just.. gone. Just like that. It hurt, and felt weird. For the first time in my entire life ( Read more... ) -

I see so many beautiful things I'd really love to knit, but I'm still struggling with some basic techniques. Hopefully soon I'll be able to figure out knitting in the ( Read more... ) -
Making more of an effort

Always forgetting
I'm going to come up with something that'll remind me that I like posting here. ;D I really do enjoy it, I guess I just don't have all that much to convey to the world in general, or myself in particular ( Read more... ) -
Holy cats
I keep forgetting to post stuff. Life has been so busy the last year or so, and a lot of stressors have gone away, but I still have a fair number of them ( Read more... ) -
Wow, been a while
I just wanted to mention that I've created a page for myself at voices.com. You can see it here:
I'll probably post more about the lack of progress towards our surgery later.
