    hi, all,

    am writing to send regards to everyone from Michelle lumberjacksgurl :cheer:

    i spoke with her last night, and she sounds very good. she and baby Ben are holding steady.

    they are hospitalized away from home at a distance of about 12 hours drive time, and DH :drool:

    was there visiting with them. for the duration, he and Alex are batchin' it back home, and Izzy is with grandparents.

    she says she has what she needs in her room, including music equipment and TV, and she declined my offer to send a metal file so she could cut through the bars .... so i gather she is situated for now.

    there is no wireless access available, but Mich says the hospital has promised to set up an account for her so that she will have internet access soon. in the meanwhile, she is communicating via telepathy.

    i think she knows that we miss her, and she's about 1/4 of the way through reading the encyclopaedia brittanica, and doing well. :kiss1:

    My fur-baby is such a klutz

    so, how are you?

    i'm so sorry to learn of your fall ... girl, please stay away from those rail-free stairways, OK?

    REST the foot. you're already an elevated life form, so just raise that paw. you can do it!

    hope you're feeling better, that the tecnicolor hues are fading, and that you're on the mend,

    :wub:

    ps: yes, the doc is right, this means no bungee jumping or hang-gliding for at least another week.

    I finally did it

    it's such a fabulous piece, deb!

    the listing looks great, too. :p

    you want advice on listings information, eh? well, eBay sends me greeting cards. i am a bizzy lil eBayer.

    ok. as one virgo to another, i reckon there can't be too many ways to entice a buyer, by offering encouraging details about buying more stuff, and the nutz and boltz of the transactions.

    once you're launched and busy selling additional items, in the TERMS section you might include information about what sort of packaging you use (recycled is nice), whether you charge a handling fee, whether you offer combined actual shipping costs, or offer a shipping discount, whether you allow local pick-ups, and whether you'll ship via priority, parcel post, and so forth.

    congrats on getting past the angst. you're gonna be a stellar seller with heaps of sales.

    :unsure:

    hey, nutti, congrats!! :p

    and hey, michelle! i am so very, very glad that baby's results are good. i sure do wish life were being gentler to you, and i hope you are taking loads of rest (as Alex and Izzy permit that to happen).

    re-siting the port mightn't be all bad, if that happens. could be easier to maintain ... but i hear ya.

    so, i'm thinking that maybe the little guy and i can do two thanksgivings next year: one up Yonder with you, and then one here in NC, and you all can come visit us, OK? his room is coming along well and i'll keep you posted about how the pre-school applications are going.

    sending all strong healing and hugging smile-y thoughts to you all,

    :unsure:

    do cats control miniacs?

    yes. of course we do.

    in 1998 the humans searched for and bought a house based on our modest criteria:

    (1) minimal automobile traffic, so we may venture out in reasonable safety;

    (2) lots of windows, so we can see outside while indoors;

    (3) screened porch, so we can be indoors and outdoors at the same time;

    (4) a deck, so we can loll in the sun on pretty days and watch the birds;

    (5) various doors, so we can demand to be let in and out and in and out and in and out;

    (6) that random stuff for the humans, like a roof and walls and plumbing.

    Glad to see that you're all catching on,

    Gracie and Sylvie Katz

    this is as bad as the Truth or Dare game .... ok, True Confessions:

    my Newberg is sulking because i'm fixated on the Tiffani and Pierce, both of whom are projects for some little folk. i feel guilty. this is absurd, but i do.

    Miss Tiff is a bit of a Camille type, very moody. She is always about to faint or cry if she doesn't get exactly what she wants ... but she keeps changing her mind. it is making me nuts.

    Fortunately the Pierce (actually she's an Annabelle) is fairly easy-going, except for being very demanding about her living room. All together, i've probably spent about a week searching online for furniture that will meet with her approval.

    she's been considering whether she wants to have siding, or an exterior paint change, but she hasn't decided and ... :p this is worrisome, as i have no idea what to do if she opts for either. i reckon she'll let me know, but the waiting is making me anxious.

    the baby, Sandhills Brimbles, is getting acclimated, and she is so freakin glad to be out of that attic that she's just kickin' back, for now. The others are used to being "in line" so they're cool, for now.

    For now .... :p occasionally i hear mutterings, but nobody's yelling ... yet.

    I am here!!!!
