Right now I would like to point Landi to www.bensbargains.com which is where I found the referral to the place where I bought my 256 Mb mobile mini-memory drive for $23 including shipping. They have 2 Gig ones over there sometimes! There is also a digital camera card called Memory Stick. It is one of the digital camera media like Smart Media card, Compact Flash, SD card, xD card. The one for a digital camera is not a USB device.

right now, i wish i had seen extreme makeover last night. it was with 2 sisters who had both been born with cleft palate. one sister was my niece's wedding planner. my sister said it was a great show and both women looked phenomenal when they were done. good for them! i worked 13 hours yesterday and 13 hours today. tomorrow we have two tournaments, one with 80 people. sheesh! i now get free rooms at chukchansi, so i am going up next month to try and win a car, LOL. my house is going to hell in a handbasket because i am always at work, but at least it pays for my son's expenses. he cracked his oil pan and i had to pay 629 dollars for a new one...add that to our insurance increases and i just may be working until i'm 82 or so!

Right now Tabby, I saw that show - mind you I was flipping back and forth with Survivor, I saw the sisters meet with the doctor, and how he was very dismal in saying they had good surgery, and he couldnt do much better (in an aside he said the fear is raising the expectations too high, because of the seriousness of this cleft palate, there really wasnt much more that could be done) It was really dramatic... then they went to the dentist, and it showed the dentist talking to the doctor on how he didnt have much at all to work with, but if the doc could do this and that, then the dentist could work with the 2 bones here, and maybe help provide some support for the upper lip, again, it didnt sound too hopefull - - THEN the reveal!! It was truly amazing!! Gorgeous!! The teeth were perfect, and probably with makeup you couldnt see the scars (close up, a bit) but the glow of happiness was tremendous! {{{hugs}}} Who, wish there was something we could do to help turn her clock off for you! You are an amazing woman!! {{hugs}} skootz - just because!

Right now, I'm waiting for my son's father to pick him up for visitation. I hate the waiting. Will he show up or not? Will he be in a good mood or will he want to argue? I'll be fine once he show's up and they leave. But right now, it's total anxiety!

Right now my daughter and I are recovering from a very emotional roller coaster of a day. PARTS OF THIS STORY AREN'T PRETTY SO BE WARNED: Did you ever have a time when that inner voice told you not to do something or go somewhere? I have had that happen to me a couple of times...and then something happens and you go AHA! THAT's why I wasn't supposed to do that or go there that day. Well, yesterday was the day I was supposed to have flown to New Jersey to visit with my friends. I have done this the last three years. But this summer, when we talked about it...I had that inner voice that said "not this year"...so I told them that I would come other years, but that this year wasn't a good time. I had no idea why I felt that way...just that I did. So instead of flying to New Jersey, I was home alone with my daughter yesterday. I hadn't been feeling well all week, so instead of going into the office...I was home in the afternoon which is HIGHLY unusual. We have three cats Binky the mother cat and her two sons Bo and LUke. (Yes...hubby was a Dukes of Hazard fan). Luke is a bit aloof and looks like Puss in Boots. Bo is pure black, very laid black and panther like. Bo is hubby's favorite. They are buds. Bo loves to share hubby's fruit. He especially likes bananas and pears. It's the weirdest thing. Daughter came home to live with us for awhile and brought her cat Winston...another male. So needless to say...we have our share of cats. Well, somewhere along the line...Winston decides he wants to be a daddy so...Binky is expecting. Binky who is a rather small kitty is now as big as a house. She looks like she could be a balloon! She has had two litters of cats before, but she has never been this big. Well, the last two days, she had either been on my lap or daughters lap. This is not usual. We think her time must be near and are wondering why she hasn't gone off on her own like she usually does. She is sitting on daughter's lap when fluid begins leaking. We now know that her time is here, but she is still on daughter's lap. What's up with this??? We are totally puzzled by her behavior, until I realize that perhaps she is having problems. Sure enough...in a little while we see a tiny little tail. I realize that the first kitten might be out of position, and that she is going to need help. So daughter and I end up assisting in the breech birth. I am able to help the kitten pass and then assist with bringing out the placenta which seems to be stuck. Binky then cleans up the kitten which starts to mew and then she picks up the kitten and heads for a more private area. In all she had five kittens. Mother and babies are doing fine. While I was thrilled to have assisted in this miracle of birth, Daughter found the whole process gross and disgusting and immediately bolted for the bathroom as soon as Binky was out of danger. No sooner had she returned to living room when we heard a comotion on our front porch. Daughter leaps to her feet and goes running. A stray dog is in the yard and has treed Winston and Luke...unfortunately Bo wasn't as lucky and the dog has him. Daughter is able to get the dog to drop the cat and chase him off. She picked up Bo to bring him in the house...but Bo is seriously hurt...and he bites her hand right and the base of the thumb. So she puts him back on the ground. (Her hand is really bleeding...she was bit hard). The dog is coming back and we don't want to leave Bo...so I pick him up...again not realizing how seriously he is hurt...and he bits me on the arm just beneath my shoulder..hard. I have no choice but to put him down. Daughter stays with him while I fetch a box, some gloves and some thick towels. We manage to get him into the box and carry him into the house. We see that he has puncture wounds in his side and realize that he is bleeding internally. It isn't long until he breathes his last. We are heartbroken. I call hubby. Hubby comes home from work early and I can see that he is upset...but he isn't one to express these things. He goes back to the office for a while. Later last night, he goes out in the back yard and buries Bo under the Windmill. The windmill is special to Hubby so I know that he picked the place for a special reason. I go out to the garage to check on hubby and he tells me that he has just buried Bo under the windmill...and then he adds..."and I gave him a banana." Well, I can't explain to you what that meant...but it was such a special gesture between the two of them....that I just started crying. I turned and went back into the house and by the time I got to the living room, I was just bawling. Daughter was desperately trying to find out what was wrong ...but it was some time before I could explain to her. Then SHE started bawling....so here we were...the two of us just bawling a river of tears...because this kind and thoughtful man, who loved his cat...thought enough of him...to bury him with a banana! We are both quite sore from our injuries...daughter dropped a can of soup all over the kitchen floor because she can't grip well with her hand. And I avoid moving my arm as much as possible. But at least we know...we tried to save him...even though we feel bad that we didn't get out to him in time. So now we have five new kittens...but hubby lost his buddy. That hurts worse than our wounds. I'm just glad that I was home....because if I hadn't had that feeling...I would have been in New Jersey...and daughter would have had to deal with all that on her own.

Mary, that's so sad. {{{{Mary}}}} A couple of weeks ago I was supposed to go on a trip, and that inner voice told me not to go. I delayed the trip for a week and a half, and everything went fine. I still don't know the reason why it was wrong to go on the earlier date, but I'm glad I listened. Big hugs to you and your family Mary.

Right now I've tears in my eyes for Mary, dd & dh. Poor little Bo! I have a boat load of felines - if I lost one I'd be lost! One suggestion I have for both you and your dd is to get to your doc asap! Cat bites can seem like nothing but turn into something horrible weeks later. It's all in the wat they bite - punctures not tears. The least the both of you should be on is an antibiotic. Usually they will prescribe Augmentin(sp). My heart goes out to you and your family!

Aw,Mary,I'm so sorry. I do agree with Ruiner,cat bites are scary. I got my foot in the middle of a cat fight once, didn't go to the doc. I later up ended up in the hospital!!!! So,go see the doc.

Right now, Mary I am so sorry for you and your family. I think Ruiner's advise is good, you and your daughter should get to a doctor asap. You did what you could for Bo, now you need to take care of your family! I also have pets and feel for you.

Mary, something was nagging at me this morning, and thank goodness Ruiner articulated it. Do NOT ignore a cat bite. Chances are it will go bad if ignored. Go to a doctor very soon if you haven't already been.

right now, so very sorry about your kitty, mary. i loved that your dh added the banana for his little buddy. right now, the banana part made me think of something a little off story, but interesting. did you know you can use a banana as an 8-ball? not on a pool table, but as in wanting a yes or no answer? ask your question and then cut off the very end of the banana (belly button, not 'stem' side) maybe 1/4 inch. there will either be a very clear "Y" or a very clear "N" inside. don't know how it works, but it does! tonight i was showing my husband and i asked the banana if dh loved me. fortunately a "Y" came up LOL
