Yesterday after I posted here, i received another email detailing a second showing for the house. All good news, especially if something happens to the current contract. I don’t remember having this many showings mid-week for quite a while. Maybe it means the market is picking up...
To me this is even better than selling the house: Isis will be in North Carolina on the weekend of August 24th! Whee! Finally! Finally! Finally! (Happy dance!) This is like Christmas and birthday and Big Happy Surprise rolled into one. It has been nerve wracking having...
The house has two more showings this week. I’m glad that it is still having showings even though there is a contract pending. It gives me hope that if something happened and this sale fell through maybe someone else would pick up the house. In the good...
Sappho is one of my favorite ancient poets. I’ve found some wonderful pieces by her, and also some good quotes. This one is probably my favorite: “Here cold water babbles through apple branches, and roses keep the whole place in shadow, and from the quivering leaves a...
This was sent to me by a friend who also has an Arabian horse. Thought I would share it. My treasures do not clink together or glitter, they gleam in the sun and neigh in the night. – Arab proverb And another one I’ve used as a...
Monday evening, I tried to renew a domain through the Dotster web site. No matter what I tried, I could not get the username and password to be accepted. I figured my password was incorrected and used the password retrieval system. This system sends an email to...
A friend of mine sent me this in a forwarded email. It’s probably made the rounds before. A couple from Tennessee and a couple from the Northeast were seated side by side on an airplane. The girl from Tennessee, being naturally friendly and all, asked the couple,’So...
The house has another showing today. I’m glad that it’s still getting shown, even though there is an offer on it. I haven’t heard anything new. I hope that means things are going along as they should. (And I hope so, because I’m making plans…) Related Images:
This is from an email joke passed along by a friend. FIVE BEST THINGS TO SAY IF YOU GET CAUGHT SLEEPING AT YOUR DESK: NUMBER 5: They told me at the Blood Bank this might happen. NUMBER 4: ‘This is just a 15 minute power nap they...
Stella is having trouble again. She has been doing so well for the past two months. She has decided that she prefers Ambush’s high protein food to her own lower protein dry food. She won’t eat her dry food now. I’m feeding her wet food but I...
(If you haven’t seen the episode, fair warning: here be spoilers.) The saddest thing about Journey’s End is the contrast between the Doctor having a TARDIS full of friends and family and the end scene where he is alone in the TARDIS. If you watch Confidential for...
A while back, the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History had an exhibit about Stabiae, called In Stabiano. (Stabiae was a small resort town near Pompeii and Herculaneum when Vesuvius erupted in 79 C.E.) The exhibit was widely advertised on television and online. I managed to be...
It took a while to realize how I felt about the shooting this past Sunday. More in shock than anything. I’ve been in that Church. I took classes there when I was in college on the role of the feminine in religious history called Cakes for the...
My renegade Time Lord name is…Tau! (Best option out of The Cleaner, Hetamax, and The Totax, although the latter has some possibilities.) What is your renegade Time Lord name? Related Images:
Simon Jansen, of www.asciimation.co.nz, has built an incredible replica of a TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimensions in Space, Doctor Who‘s time machine), complete with a fold-out MAME console for playing retro arcade games. The TARDIS MAME console is obviously a work of love and art. The attention...
