A few months back, I installed Google Analytics on this site to see what it does. It was a work-related experiment to investigate exactly what information Google Analytics tracks. I’ve wondered how people find their way to this site. Keyword searches are good indicators of what search terms bring up hits. Here are the top…
My sister hit a milestone birthday today. I’m not going to say which birthday or which sister (because I value my life). Here’s hoping that she has a great day and enjoys herself thoroughly. I wish I lived closer so I could spend more time with her. She is definitely not within driving distance, unfortunately….
A little bit of good news some times goes a very long way. The Rheem AC unit was indeed covered by a parts warranty, but not labor. The unit is now repaired: the variable speed fan motor was bad. It’s the most expensive part of the interior unit. If my understanding is correct, this repair…
Your result for The Camelot Test… Lancelot Honourable and passionate. You never back down from a challenge. Your friends are very important to you. You believe in justice and duty far above your own personal security and comfort. Congratulations! This was the most challenging result to get. You are one of a kind. Take The…
I tried to find the original article so I could link back. Unfortunately, searching the Washington Post web site doesn’t return any hits for the word “neologisms.” Going through Google turned up lots of hits of people posting the same or similar lists, but no one had a link back to the Washington Post contest….
When I went out to the house over the Fourth of July weekend, I was met with a rather nasty set of surprises: Both of my back doors had been left unlocked, The air conditioning unit was not working, and The pond looked like nuclear pea soup (neither pond pump was working). The pond was…
We’re getting lots of rain here, which is good. We need it. I knew we were going to have a good series of storms because of the nasty headache I’ve had since yesterday. It gradually passed, after the thunderstorms struck. Two days of off-again, on-again rain. Related Images:
PARTY!! I have an offer on the house!! (Running around with a crazy grin on my face.) The offer is close to what I’m asking, so that is close enough. So, basically I make enough to almost cover the $15k loan I took out for the sewer and roof repairs last summer. Whee!!! Closing date…
Last summer, a momma cat had four kittens in my back yard. One little black kitty in particular caught my attention. Little brave kitty who would watch me longer than his siblings. The kitties have ended up living at a neighbor’s house. Momma kitty and all of the kittens are now fixed. The little black…
The house has another showing today from 5:45 – 6:00. Short time slot. I wonder if it is a second showing? Related Images:
The best part of this weekend was visiting Isis. When I pulled up on Friday, Isis was in the paddock next to the barn. I rolled down the door and said her name. She immediately nickered and yelled for me. I grinned. The barn owner said that she never whinnies for anyone like she does…
Here be spoilers. Fair warning. Oh this is cool. If you didn’t see the last episode, don’t read this until you do. Waa! TARDIS in temporal prison with Rose, Doctor, Jack, and Donna. Completely useless TARDIS. Imprisoned in the TARDIS on their way to the Dalek Crucible. Heh. Daleks saying “Exterminate” in German while flying…
My youngest sister watched my kitties over the weekend. She was great: regular visits and pettings for the kitties. Stella didn’t eat her wet food at all. She also didn’t touch one of the places where I put out dry food in the kitchen. My sister was pretty worried about Stella. Tonight I gave Stella…
I’m heading back to Tennessee this weekend to work on the house. I’m bringing Ambush with me and leaving Stella at the apartment. She eats better when I’m around, but I’m worried that the stress of a 11+ hours in a car over three days would be too much stress on her. So she will…
Stella ate most of her wet food today AND even some of the dry food I gave her this morning. Happy dance! That’s most of a serving of Wellness and half of the dry food. HUGE improvement for her. She spent most of the evening curled up on my desk in front of the monitor….
