Still Damned Mad!

Good Afternoon Everyone!
I haven't even gotten to read your replies from my last entry, but at this moment I have a big ole' favor to ask of you... 

Read on...

I was SO proud of myself last night; mission accomplished, I did stay awake until the end of the game!
I am almost sorry I did so.

Earlier in the game, bored, I did a little channel-hopping. then I almost fell asleep. Fortunately Jerry called about 9, and so I was W-I-D-E awake then! (Thank you Jerry)!

Please take a minute, even if you didn't see it, to sign the petition below?

Love to all

XOXO

PS
My own thoughts are if they cannot end this strike, then we need to hold off playing ALL games until such an accord is reached.
The league is way off base holding this over the refs heads anyway.
If you want a little background, the league wants all the refs, as part of their pact, to ensure that this will be their only full-time job. The league is not willing to pay them for this though.
They work one a week for cryin' out loud! And most have full time jobs already!
Go figure.

Go PACK!!!!

Here's what I rec'd in my email...

The National Football League (NFL) has locked out its official referees over a contract dispute. Three weeks into the season, replacement referees are still on the field.

In last night's game of the Green Bay Packers against the Seattle Seahawks, the replacement refs ruled that the Seahawks caught a game-winning touchdown, when it was clear the Packers had intercepted the ball. And the Packers lost because of it.

The NFL's use of replacement referees threatens the integrity of the game and could lead to serious player injuries. We need the most competent, highly trained officials on the field immediately. With the NFL making more than $9 billion a year in revenue, it seems like it's within their ability to come to an agreement with referees over a pension plan, which has been the biggest issue resulting in referees being locked out of a contract.

UPDATE: There were numerous blown calls in Week 1.
The NFL needs to end this farce before a game is unfairly decided or a player is injured.  

UPDATE 2: Well, the worst has come to pass.
The NFL's use of replacement referees has cost a team the game. Sorry, Packers fans.
The NFL clearly cares more about $ than about providing an honest game. 

If the NFL gets away with this one, they can get away with anything. How long before a player is seriously hurt because of incompetent officiating?

We MUST get as many fans to sign this as we can.
Please SIGN and SHARE! The more of us who are united, the more noise we can make!

Frazzled and Frayed

Good Afternoon All;

Knock, knock... Is anyone here? 

I don't know how many of you are still around since Multiply seems to be nearly defunct already. (And with over 2 months yet to go that they have promised to stay open). I have much yet to retreive from my site- blogs and such- and am hoping that by the time I do get 'er up and running that the kinks will be worked out of this export program... I see more than a few posts complaining of that export system yet, so, even with my dial-up I will be patient. If i have too many problems I shall have to beg Mr. Greg to do it for me. *sigh*  Wonder how sick and tired he will be of me, and my computersaurus after that? Glad it takes TONS to make him be upset enough to even cuss... hehehe

Casey's surgery (hysteroscopy) is over; though I am SO sorry to say I couldn't go. Grrrrrrrr...  My car decided that this was the proper morning to pee antifreeze all over the garage floor. Damn, hey? (and I'd only wanted to warm it up a little as the chilly air hurts to be breathed in)! After that, I wasn't going to take a chance on driving in the hopes of getting there on time. 

Fortunately for everyone involved, Greg had previously taken today off. He was planning on bringing her anyway, so all that was left was for everyone to miss my presence. hehehe

I should have just said, "Thank God for Greg" and been done with it. I can't tell you how many times in the past few months that I have told Casey to tell him exactly that. I hope she has passed it on every time.

She called here about an hour ago, saying that they were back home- She sounded absolutely WUNNAFUL!!!

Of course she is sore, and more than a little hungry. They stopped at Fazoli's on the way home, and picked some food up so they could enjoy a late lunch/ early supper. Sounds good.

With my car in need of my mechanic hindsight tells me that I should have bought more the last time I went grocery shopping. Oh well. I can make do with whatever I have on hand. Mostly. 

Oh Lordy i am so tired. And it is [still] going be a very LONG evening- That is, *if* I stay awake for the Packer Game. I shall try. 

Not much other news around here- Though I am still perplexed by a phone call of apology I'd received from a friend 2 weeks ago...

I will go into that at a later posting. Suffice to say that I don't take being screamed at too well. And my heart is ONLY capable of taking BS for a time- Then it simply gives up. This time it gave up by simply hanging up. 

But like I said, that will keep.
For now.  The important thing today was to keep everyone up-to-date about my little CaseyAnne.

My love to all.

XOXO

Me

PS
Do let me know if you will be still around this site for a while?

And please, also let me know where I will be able to find you after Multiply closes for good? 

I do have a few of your destinations already, but no everyones...

Re: China
Those things you have heard/read about Mitt Romney supporting through his company's traitorous acts sending American jobs to China?
Newsflash kids- Most of these ads/commercials/web stories are completely verifiable, and quite true.
Check your emails- Verify everything before you send it on. (Unless you have no problem being considered less than honest).

Football officials

I refuse to watch a Packers game where I have to wonder who is paying off the officials... 

Off to go shopping. XOXO, Me

HELP!? (This is almost gross).

Hi all;

Nothing like being unable to go to bed last night-

I had just gotten refreshed, my PJ's on- and came out of the bathroom to see this piss yellow river going across my kitchen.

Yes, my house has always leaned a little to the east.  hehehe

Punk was over in the LR on her rug, just watching this crap turn to a stinkin' little puddle.

Since both animals were in the house, I assumed one of them had peed, although that has NEVER happened before.

I grabbed a paper towel, mopped a bit of it up, and gingerly took a sniff. (There is a distinct difference between cat piss and dog pee). 

But the smell was neither. It was "off" somehow- A bit of a rancid smell, combined with something terribly spoiled .

Following it 'upstream', it was coming out of my cupboard!  ?!?!

A raccoon?!? Something else? 

Afraid to open the cupboard door lest something come out and bite me, I hit the door a few times to make a LOUD noise- (Sure to startle any pissin' thing in there).

Nothing moved.

By this time, Punk was ready to do battle- She picks up my emotions so very well-

She stood guard (behind me). hehehe  Sputty had been woken too; thinking my loud knocks were company- He went over to the door; sat and waited.

Slowly, slowly, slowly I opened that door...

Very, VERY s--l--o--w--l--y...

...

...

...

...

...

It peed in my cupboard!!!

This is a lost onion peel that I hadn't bothered to pick up from earlier in the day. Look how blackened it is- 

And, no, it didn't take me that long to change, & brush my teeth and hair.

What causes this to happen? 

And what, pray tell, can happen to us as we inhaled the fumes, (which were nasty to say the least). 

In advance I thank you for letting me know... (Um- You DO know, don't you)?!?

Although I am very thankful that I can still boast that my animals have not had any accidents, I have never ever had this happen before.

I must vamoose for now!

XOXO
Me

I will post a little question for you first... as another blog hits the drafts folder. Grrr... Have an eye doc appointment- Will try to post later (if my damned head is behaving). Love to all. XOXO, Me
