My fiance's dog is managing to growl and snore at the same time. It is a VERY bizarre noise. Snoring inhale, snoring-and-growling exhale.

Kinda wishing I could capture this sound for posterity, because boy does she sound weird!

Obviously, having the presidency, the House, and the Senate all go red is a frightful occurrence for many of us. My Facebook and my LJ are awash with fear and anger, from people who have good reason to fear and be angry ( Read more... )

I think you guys all know that I love Hudson, I think the school I got him from trained him very well and selected an excellent match for me, both in terms of the skills I needed him to have and personality ( Read more... )

We're getting more money for the car than it was worth. Blue book value on it is around $2500 or a bit less; insurance is giving us $4600. So we're not getting completely hosed on the loss of an older but well cared for car. It's still money we'd prefer to not be spending right now, but that helps a lot ( Read more... )

So I'm trying to start reaching out to people again. I know I've been pretty much radio silence for a long time. It's been...complicated. For one thing, I've been sick and sicker and sicker for years, and that makes it hard to connect to the people you used to spend a lot of time with. It's hard to be around people who knew your old, healthy ( Read more... )

So, I don't remember if I mentioned that early last month, I started a new medication (Plaquenil) along with a course of prednisone in an attempt to make my immune system play nice. My rheumatologist and I decided to retry it secondary to the methotrexate, which has not been controlling my very cranky immune system well enough, especially not ( Read more... )

Did everyone on my friends list suddenly go silent for nearly a week at the same time, or is LJ's friends feed bollixing up? I haven't seen anything from any of you since the 2nd. Very odd. Anyhow, I'm curious if anyone has posted anything since then. I can't remember the last time everyone went silent for that long - I don't have a huge number ( Read more... )
