Right now I am thinking Silly should check the new messages more often than once a year. Would be easier on ya. Jed, (our very own TVCH singer)no problems so far today with the new message feature. And, Ms. Eggie, I cannot picture Wendy's face at all and I have always lived here. CRS?

Right now I got one of those things that go around email a billion times but I was liking it and wanted to share: HOW TO STAY YOUNG 1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her. 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. 3 Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's. 4. Enjoy the simple things. 5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. 6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive. 7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge. 8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help. 9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is. 10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Right now, I'm working on structuring my article and hoping someone responds to my plea for help figuring out what Mail and Packing Centers could offer to their artistic clientèle.

right now, the update on poor 'chippy' the sea lion who came to my town. he has a bullet in his head! the vet is guessing maybe a fisherman shot him and that made the poor guy end up going all the wrong ways. i mean, what else would bring someone to los banos? my husband thinks that is so not funny.

Right now, I just finished spending over an hour trying to catch a feral female cat so I can have her spayed tomorrow. Fortunately she was trapped on a sunporch of the people who feed her. I only ended up with a scratch down the length of the inside of my thumb. Then the little poop tried to go through me to get away when I brought her to the clinic. One little scared girl! Good thing is my boss authorized this on a SNIP program so it'll cost no $$$. He's a sweetie!! Another good thing is she'll have no more litters and there are people who make sure she has a warm place to sleep, (their sun porch has a doggie door but they have no dog now), and food and toys... All in all, I feel pretty good about it.

Right now, it has just been one heck of a day. My sister's father-in-law passed away unexpectedly and my poor niece and nephew are so upset. They are only 9 and 7 and I just wish I was with them right now giving them big hugs!

Oh, Mamie, that's a sad deal. Hugs to the family. Right now... I am happy to announce the arrival of my nephew born to my favorite sibling(my little sissy). Gunner Storm, 9 lbs 3 oz, 21 inches born at 9:57 am today. I get to hold him in one month when I go down there. Yeah, I can't wait.

Right now, I am congratulating Auntie Denecee! How wonderful for you and your sissy! There is nothing like a baby, truly the circle of life. And one month will be the perfect time to get to hold him.

Right now, congrats to Denecee! That's a big baby boy, I bet he's cute as can be. Today as my daughter's gymnastics coach was speaking to me, he said "Your daughter's last name is....?" He knew what it was, since it's in his roll book. We have a Hispanic last name, but I look like I just climbed out of a fjord in Sweden or something. Pale, blond, green-eyed. I'm not sure why he wanted to pursue the last name thing. I told him the last name and just stood there while he tried to think of a polite way to ask about that name. Finally I said "What, I don't look like that should be my name?" He had the grace to be embarrassed, so I put him out of his misery and explained my husband is Mexican. The coach is Hispanic, so I'm not sure why he even was trying to figure this out. My kids take after their dad, but their looks don't immediately call to mind Hispanic. Maybe he thought I was babysitting or something. I do get the occasional strange looks when I say my name, but you'd think people could figure out it's my married name. All in all, it was pretty funny to me.

not1, how funny! it reminds me of when my husband and i were talking with a colonel one day. and the colonel looked at my son and said, 'he has brown eyes. you both have blue eyes.' well, duh, that could easily happen, since i had him before i met my husband, bio dad had very dark eyes, and hubby adopted ds. but i took the colonel aside and whispered, "shhh. don't tell my husband. he thinks he's the baby's father!" my husband and i laughed so hard on the way home that i made him stop the car so i could fall out and laugh on someone's lawn. and mamie and denecee...how often that happens. someone wonderful dies and someone wonderful is born at the same time. hugs all around.

Right now, I am: Patting Mamie, hugging Denecee, smiling at Lori and shaking my head with Not1. What a world! Congratulating Legalboxer on a job well done today for her 2nd interview for a public defender's job in Baltimore. Way to go, LB! Wondering about my DD, who called me tonight to tell me her good friend (who lives in Norway) just got married--and that she realizes this is some kind demarcation line in her life--the beginning of a stage when all her friends are getting married. This from the daughter who has sworn she is never getting married!

Right now, I'm thinking that a particular relationship I'm in is really hard work, and I wonder if it's even worth the agony I sometimes find myself going through. Sigh.

Right now just got another one of those cute emails to share: FIFTEEN THINGS THAT IT TOOK ME YEARS TO LEARN 1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night. 2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings". 3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness". 4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them. 5. You should not confuse your career with your life. 6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance anyway. 7. Never lick a steak knife. 8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip. 9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time. 10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment. 11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven. 12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers. 13. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails...) 14. Your friends love you anyway. 15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

Right now, I want to say thanks to Gidget for posting that. I printed it out for my co-workers. Also, I want to say thanks for the congrats on my new nephew. My sister went through 9 hrs of hard labor, she said the epidural(sp) didn't seem to help.
