Thanks, 47!

Hard to believe so much time has passed. It hasn't really been wasted, yet i'm hard-pressed to come up with anything extraordinary that's happened in the past month.

That is, perhaps, the real gift of "real" writers -- they can take the components of any ordinary experience: a trip to the grocery store, standing in line at the fast food joint,

She lives!

Wow. You should write more. I so enjoyed the good read and I'm really glad you're doing well.
Good luck on that test!

and kicks . . .

Thanks so much for the nudge. I really didn't realize it had been so long since my last post. Time flies when we're having fun -- AND when we're having a funk, which is, I think, some of what I've been up to.

Gotta go back and read my friends' posts! Hope all's well with you and yours.

Oh, and I did quite well on the test (I think -- grade comes out Monday), thanks!

I hate to sound paranoid, but when you're last post was dated New Year's Eve, and then a month of nothing........
I'm glad I was just being paranoid.
I'm really not much of an animal rights activist. I certainly love animals, and I spoil my pets, but I eat meat, wear leather, and would buy my wife a fur if I made better money. That being said, I think a rattlesnake roundup is absolutely retarded. There's a reason nature is the way it is. I wonder if people in the towns that have these roundups ever notice an increase in their rodent population. Or perhaps they just round them up too.

Teeeheehee

I hadn't noticed the coincidence of dates! I'm still in Winston's thrall, a couple-three a day, but thank H.P., my compulsion to drink remains gone.

Yeah, I wear leather, eat cheese and eggs and the occasional piece of dead animal. I object to the way domesticated critters are treated, but not especially to the fact that they are raised to be eaten. I'd like to believe that the rodent population will soon overwhelm the idiots who decimate snake populations, but I know they'll just put out more Warfarin.

Bastards.

I have a friend who raises his own livestock. It's not a farm in the traditional sense...one cow, occasionally a pig, and he's had chickens, rabbits, etc. But he treats these animals like pets. Hell, he even names the bigger animals. He had a steer named Jack that he would hug when he went out to feed the animals in the morning. I'm with you on that...just because you're going to eat an animal, doesn't mean you should treat it like shit.

Here's hoping the rats develop an immunity to Warfarin. (Or is that cockroaches that do that?)

Anyway, good to have you back. (And, for the record, if I could have kept my smoking to 2 or 3 a day, I never would have quit.......)
