You too. =)

Well said, Bunzombie. Where on earth did you find that screen name? It's really cool. :-)

my oldest son made it up for a code word in case my dad or i couldnt pick him up from school. our name combined with Rob Zombie. shshshshshs its me

well, Sandra, my oldest is getting ready to read one of the best books in the world:

'A Wrinkle in Time'

that book, for me, started my love for books.

i posted this to your blog before you took off on us and broke our hearts.

i think so. my oldest will be 9 next month, but reads on the 6th grade level .

Thanks Sandra! I am actually in my late 40's and my daughter is mid 20's...she JUST got married late july! This one will have a photo finish! haha! People still ask if we are sisters...and now I am going to be a grandmother! LOL

Sandra ((((((((((hugaboo to you))))))))))))) and LTNS.... Hear your in a writing contest of some sorts, is this true? If so you are bound to knock em dead....

I am road tripping it again....this time....Idaho and back....woot woot...

Beautiful country we have indeed....

Just a little warm and friendly hello.....

Be seein' ya round the neighborhood!!!!!!!

Steve

She just had her ultrasound this morning, and it measures in at 6wks, 4 days. Sooo...mid May? I think!

Good morning Sandra!!!

And thank you for the standing "O" ;)

I'm always up for lunch!

Sandra, I still didn't get that reply from you. I need to complete this task. Tell me what you think is best to do.

Happy Thirsty Thursday / Friday Eve Sandra!!

This seems a bit trivial to be of news interest. An animal shelter is closing today, and over 40 animals will be euthanized if they can't find a home. I personally would like to see more focus on community matters than on a scuffle over a hairstyle..

The blog wasn't about a hair style but discrimination at the workplace.a man being punished (made to take a desk job even after being forcd to cut his hair)because he wore the same style others wore. It may of been trivial to you, but it was my blog and my convictions on discrimiation, no matter who the color the victim is. It shocked me coming from you. I'd of thought you'd said nothing and moved on as opposed to saying something harsh as my blog was trivial/// maybe to you but not to me. I was informing you, as you did me that there are other things to blog on today such as the hiv vaccine. wasn't kind or nice of me but sometimes hurt runs deep for a while until it is forgotten.

Hi, Sandra!

"Illegitimi non carborundum"

Back to my cave........

FE

i forgive easy and as I said it wasn't like you at all. No problem at all. I'm also feeling guilty for what I said.

Good morning, Sandra! Hope you have a wonderful day! Happy Friday! {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs})))))))))))))))))))))

Beth

HAPPIEST of Fridays to you!!! May you and yours have the best weekend EVER, this weekend!

(((((HUGS)))))

Hi Ya Sandra! The pic is of Midnight. My last babe. He left a few months ago. Or maybe was picked up by someone. All my babes disappeared. We are now starting to have some strays come around and are pampering them. There is a solid black one just like Midnight. I think it's female though...so I'm really working to befriend it. Midnight's mom was black and white (name was Little Bit). Late yesterday there was a black and white one eating at the bowl of food I put out. Girl, I just did know it was Little Bit! *sigh*...I sure do miss my babes.

Have a great weekend!

"As anyone is my witness here, I very rarely say something like this to anyone..."

LOL. I think (s)he was just messing with people. But you are right, normally you aren't so straight forward. Releasing, is it not? ;^)

Yes it was.

Hi Sandra, Thank you for the birthday wishes. I'm having a wonderful day! I hope you're having a great weekend!!!

"You should be getting a prize for the funniest comments on here. Have a great evening. :-)"

I am but your humble servant...

Happy Birthday to your daughter! May she have a magical day!

Sorry, Sandra, had to leave my blog to work...imagine that. BUT I have to say humm very interesting: "LOLOL! I'm medium-high on lust and pride. Medium low on everything else." LOL

Sandra, I'm sorry I've been missing your blogs. I need to go back and read them. I've just been busy.

I hope you and the family are doing well.

thanks for the feedback. my blog never made it. I'm staying off until the problem gets fixed. I don't want my computer to blow up

My doggie has cancer on his spleen and they think it's spread to his liver...and I'm having personal issues--seems like I can't make anyone happy the last few days--just going through a lot of crud right now

" and we'll shapeshift "

Oooohh...I'd pay to see that.

Nigel Smallfaucet: from a Bond movie, Never say never again..... is where I got my screen name, but a lot of people know it as having a small..................

What up Homes? I'm doing fine. I saw the picture of your son he is very handsome. I'm glad he took off that silly shirt.

What a beautiful day, I took a walk after lunch. I forgot how many weirdos there are downtown in the middle of the day. I could tell they were keeping an eye on me.

I have a gardening question for you. I have a boat load of day lilies that are normally beautiful but this year the deer attacked. But anyhow I want to split them and plant some in other places. What time of year am I suppose to do that in?

I have to hit the road....so sorry to hear about the cat fiasco....

I will be thinking positive thoughts for this little child and her feline friend...

From Crystal, Grinder, and little Bemis....:) (wags and purrs)

"This is a pet who is loved and cherished, and as of right now, he is in a cage. Even if she doesn't think of the human companions, it's pretty rotten for the cat as well."

Been there and done that, Sandra. I have an outside dog right now that must stay in her "cage" so she doesn't wander. My son was devastated when we had to put her in a dog pen. However, her pen is about 20x20 (I would guess) so she has a little more room than the cat you are speaking of.

Well, Sandra, it sounds as if the cat would be quite an investment. At least it is at a no-kill shelter for the time being! That is a blessing.

The pic reminded me INSTANTLY of your Lucifer. Had to snag it ... lol

I've read with interest the 'cat story', but have not commented much. You are to be commended for taking up the battle for these folks. What the shelter did is horribly cruel, and is the result of a person who is a control freak on a power trip. Find out what state agency is responsible for licensing these types of shelters and complain to them. And let me know who that is. Or contact the attorney general. Ask the state agency to put a hold on CatAngels adopting this cat out to anyone else until this issue is resolved, or else the new family will be subject to even more heartbreak. It sounds like this poor family has an army on their side, and that's good. Let me know if you want me to send any emails in support of this cause. I don't have anything pressing and would be glad to help.

Oh nice pic BTW, LOL.

{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}

Hey Sandra - Sorry, I just checked that email account and got your message. I will let you know as soon as I get a response from him. Feel free to use my rr or mac addresses if you have either - I check those regularly.

I am sorry this happened, I think it is pure bull chit.

Talk soon, Dawn

Sandra- I just sent you an email with my phone number please call me ASAP. Dawn

Sandra - Can you please repost this blog for afternoon viewers. I do not know how to reach Cjones to have her do it, but truth is people love and follow you so I think you would get a better blog response anyway. If you will repost your cat blog I will comment with all of the email and phone numbers again of the facility and their sponsors

please let us know what happens

Three boys are in the school yard bragging about their fathers. The first boy says, "My Dad writes all day. He scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a POEM, they give him $50!"

The second boy says, "That's nothing. My Dad writes all day too! He scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls his a SONG, they give him $100!"

The third boy says, "I got you both beat. My Dad also writes all day. He scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls his writings SERMONS. He reads them in church, and it takes EIGHT MEN to collect all the money!!!"

Dont say that Con Amor did'nt make you smile today! Have a great day!

Great Job, Sandra! I know stuff like this brings some strange ones out of the woodwork, but you got the situation the attention it deserves. :)

Sandra I am very disapointed that you have made your cat blog from the other day private. You told some of us to read your friends post but never told us a user name or where to find it.

I hope your friend gets her cat back, but I think that bombarding the cat shelter with communications was the wrong way to solve this.

"Please, if you can, do send out an e-mail."

I did. And sent you a copy of the text. Hopefully, they read it, but I have my doubts. You are dealing with some very stubborn people here, I'm afraid. DON'T LET UP.

"so since you were MIA this morning"

I have recently gotten some desperately needed projects to work.

Now that I have the opportunity I have to "strike while the iron is hot".

I'll be out of town a couple days next week as well.

Safe travels...
