I swiped this link from Seantaclaus over on Facebook. This guy could seriously use some legal help and attention from the press: http://www.johntunger.com/legal-defense-fund.html
basic story - This guy, John, makes awesome, handmade fire bowls from recycled propane tanks. Some guy see them, copies them, mass produces them and sells them cheaper. John sends cease & desist, the copier responds with a "no way" and then the copier sues him to overturn his copyrights so the copier can keep doing what he's doing.
John has spent over $50,000 so far, defending himself. He needs support and donations.
eaad more, reaad about his story, get pissed off, and spread the word. Donate or shop if you can, but spread the word, too.

If it's a cold, that's easy... a shot of robetussin, a shot of nyquill and a shot of Bushmills (or equivelant Irish Whiskey). It gets enough alcohol in your blood stream that the cold can't survive. LOL

2:38 pm - Halp a Cat
|
To many of you on my friends list, this is old news. But, there may be a few of you who have not yet discovered the awesomeness that is Catherynne M. Valente. Cat is a magnificently talented authoress. She is also, like so many of us these days, falling on hard times.
Please check out this link to her blog, and her plight. Check her out, and help if you can. Even small drops in the bucket, can create mammoth floods, if there are enough.
http://yuki-onna.livejournal.com/487082.html?view=11902122&style=mine#t11902122
There is also a new community dedicated to fund-raising for Cat.
Help Catherynne M. Valente

10:28 am - Sorry!
|
I found Facebook, and have been doing most of my posting there lately. Just boring little updates, but still... I AM reading LJ daily, and commenting when I can, I just don't post much here any more.
So, what's going on in my world these days...
The boys turn 3 Wednesday. Time sure flies, let me tell you. We had their birthday party yesterday, since the folks will be in Memphis next weekend, for the Memphis in May Beale Street Music Festival. The kids and I are not going this year. Too much chaos, too many people in dad's small house, and too much rain. (Memphis in May is also known as Memphis in MUD). Anyway, the boys got a sand and water table (no sand just yet, though. Jesse would eat it), some toy trucks, adorable jammies from our neighbors, and some sidewalk chalk. Papa, my 98 year old grandpa, bought the boys each a large stuffed bunny for their birthdays, too. It's so great that at 98, he still gets around, and drives, and shops, and lives on his own. I hope I'm in as good of shape, when I'm half his age. There will be more to come on Wednesday, but this was a good start.
Dad is still job hunting. Has a couple of decent interviews. The job we really want for him, will be making a decision this week. Cross you fingers for him, please. If he gets this job, they can stay inmemphis. Otherwise, by the end of May, the townhouse will be on the market, and he'll be moving back here. This house is NOT big enough for 3 adults and 3 kids. Not to mention all the pets.
Speaking of pets... the chinchillas are moving on to new homes this week. I just don't have time to devote to them like they deserve. We are also looking for a new home for Tripp. Any one interested in a 7 month old male Doxie? He's neutered, UTD on all his shots, mostly crate trained and mostly house broken. He LOVES other dogs, and thinks cats are play toys. He's GREAT with kids, too. I'm asking $150 for him, cause I've invested so much into him alreasy. He really needs a fenced yard, which we don't, and can't have, because of subdivision rules.
I guess that's it, fo now. More later, or just friend me on Facebook.

6:28 pm - Atlas has a home...
|
Sort of. Stray Rescue of St Louis has agreed to take in Atlas, and foster him until they can find him a new "forever Home". Thank you to everyone for the advice, the help, and the interest. He's still looking for a home, but at least he's safe now, and his owner can pass in peace, knowing his furkid is safe.
current mood:  relieved

11:44 am - Looking for some help finding a home for a dog
|
My neighbor is moving next week, and is unable to take his dog with him. He had arranged for a friend to take care of Atlas, but the friend just backed out of the deal last night. My neighbor is moving Monday.
Atlas is a 10 year old male Norwegian Elkhound. He likes to be outside, and would love a fenced yard, but does very well on a tie out chain, too. Atlas has been in a single pet household his whole life, so he may not do well with other pets, but he is very friendly when he meets other dogs on his daily walks, so that might not be an issue. I don't know. Please contact me if you are interested in him.
If Atlas doesn't find a home by the weekend, he is likely to be put to sleep, and no one wants to see that happen.
We'd take him, but we have 3 dogs and a cat already, in addition to the twins, and CB. My house is FULL!!!!! Unless, someone wants a 6month old male mini doxie/silky doxie mix. Take Tripp, and we can take Atlas. Just looking for other options, to save a dogs life.

2:28 pm - Spring is in the air
|
I am having a hard time resisting the urge to get into my gardens today. The thermometer on the back porch says 78. The daffodils in the back yard are 6+ inches tall, and the new bulbs I planted this fall out front, are poking thru, too. I know better though. I could start turning th esoil now, but I'll have to do it agian in a couple of monts, when I get ready to fertalize and plant, but it's so hard to resist.
I guess I'll just rake the fallen leaves that didn't compost over winter, out of the beds for now, and let the sun start warming the soil some.
Come on Spring!!!! I love the winter, don't get me wrong. It's my favorite season. But I really want to get my hands back in the dirt, and make things grow. It's only been in the past 4-5 years that my green thumb has sprouted. Now I'm itching to get out and work the dirt earlier and earlier each year.
I have lots of hopes for the water garden this year, too. We'll see if they take hold or not. I've got frogs and a crawdad that need to move outside, as soon as the weather is right, so I need to get the gardens ready for them. Ordering some mussels this spring, too, to keep the water cleaner, so I can actually SEE my fish this summer.
Anyway, I'm off to go work outside, while I can. Winter will be back soon, I know.

6:14 pm - The cookies are here, the cookies are here
|
Yep, the girl scout cookies are in, and sitting on my dining room table. If you ordered cookies from me, get in touch with me, to arrange a time/place to meet up to get your cookies. Money is due to the troop at the March 9 meeting, so I need to get with you before then.
Thanks again for your orders. Chryssi sold 236 boxes, and raised $118 for her troop.

Blessed Solstice and Happy Yule!!! As the days lengthen, may your home be warm and full of light and laughter.
Blessed Be!!!!!
~*~*~*~*~*~ Santa's Wisdom Teachings... ~*~*~*~*~*~
Five minutes before the Winter Solstice circle was scheduled to begin, my mother called. Since I'm the only one in our coven who doesn't run on Pagan Standard Time, I took the call. Half the people hadn't arrived, and those who had wouldn't settle down to business for at least twenty minutes.

12:41 pm - Which one of you did it???
|
Which one of you slipped the CRACK to the twins??? They didn't settle down to bed until almost 11 last night (3 hours late), yet they stil got up at their normal 7:15 this morning. I had delusional hopes of them crashing for naps early, to play catch up. NOPE. Logan is currently hammering the coffee table with the toy hammer, and Jesse is yelling about something. Not only have they not gone to nap early, they are now more than 40 minutes LATE for their naps.
Mommy has to get ready for the Yule get together tonight, but that involves loading things in the diaper bag, and into the car. Neither of which I can do with them watching, or they'll be bugging me to go "bye-bye" for the rest of the afternoon.
So, who dosed my kids??? Fess up, so I can beat you with them.
Blessed Yule to the rest of you!
ETA - It's now 1:26 and I just put them in saparate beds, in separate rooms, on separate floors, to nap. Now, there is screaming ALL OVER my house. Yeah me!!! Not!
current mood:  stressed
