Why is a Raven Like a Writing Desk?

Because Poe wrote on both!
Anyway, I’d forgotten this little corner of the internet and I thought I would update! We still don’t have any Wii’s, and our store is slowly going down hill!! We are losing a bunch of really good people! And we have a blundering idiot for an electronics specialist! GAH!!! I love my job, hate the people around me!
Well, ‘cept for Andrew and JoJo and a handful of others…
Tuna Fish
March 26, 2007 by sarah.
Yeah, its redundant. Do we, as a human race, need to drop the fish from Tuna Fish? I mean, we already know its a fish or a form of. What about Pickles? We know and assume what everybody is talking about when one says pickles. So how come we have to say ‘pickled asparagus’? Or ‘pickled pigs feet’? Why does the cucumber have the exclusive use of the word pickle?? Why don’t we say ‘pickled cucumber? Its not fair that the cucumber sits on the pedastal of the vegetable world? Wait, cucumbers aren’t a veggie!! They are a fruit! Holy Crap! This folks is why i didn’t do so well in biology!
I’ll tell you and your friends an American tale or two.
Is the underlined word (you) a direct object, indirect object, predicate nominative, or predicate adjective?
”You” is a subjunctive adverbial prepositionary connotation.
Long week

And its only thursday!! Uuuffffda!!! Im so ready for friday, then i can go with friends and get sloshed! LOL! Although those who know me well enough know that i usually don’t wait till friday!! But, getting up at 5am kinda deters that notion! So i just have one beer and im usually good!
So, Ron and I have made the grandiose decision not to have kids a while back. Instead we have a cat, a Russian Blue, just like Romeo. But thats where the similarities end! This little girl cat has more personality that most humans that I know! We named her Alexia, short for Alexandria! We’re kind of obsessed with Russia! Anyway, we got her in Newton, a little town about 40 miles north of Wichita, at a humane society! We didn’t get her here because its sooo expensive! We brought her home in a Jack Daniels box! Tee hee!! It took her a bit to get used to the apartment, but she loved it once she found all the nooks and crannies! We got her spade and I didn’t realize what they go through! Yikes! I put everything in the basement, like her food and such, so she wouldn’t have to climb the stairs. And I sat with her as she went in and out of her groggy state! I spoil that cat so much! but she got over that pretty fast! Then a few months later, we got her declawed, just the front paws. OMG, I was a nervous wreck! Again we were supposed to keep her from climbing stairs and such. well, she was pretty attatched to us, and I think we had taken a weekend trip somewhere between getting her cut and declawed and she didn’t like it! So she would follow us everywhere we went! Or she had to be in the same room! Anyway, she was on the main level of the house and I had to go upstairs for something. Well, I must’ve been up there longer than she liked cuz she started to climb the stairs after me! I went to go downstairs and I found her halfway up, like she was resting! Silly girl! And she healed from that pretty fast…but then came the fleas…OMG. That was the worst thing to endure! We thought they would just go away. Nope! Ron had little bites on his legs and we were both itchy. We tried a mild aproach so we wouldn’t hurt the cat, but that didn’t work. So we unleashed a full on attack!! We put a fogger in the basement and one on the main floor and left the house and took Alexia to get a flea bath! OMG!! Sweet relief for all of us!! We even killed some of the spiders and crickets that were hanging about! So about 7 or 8 months later, we drove up to Monatana for my Dad’s funeral, and when we got back, she would not let up out of her sight!! And after we came home from Megan’s wedding, she was glued! In fact, I came home from work one day and she was at the door as usual, but this time she got up on her hind legs and started ‘begging’ me to pick her up! Just like a little kid begs “up mommy, up!” So you know that I picked her up, with my hands full! LOL! Ron inherited this cute little gramma like pillow after his grandma died, and we’ve recently pulled it out of the closet so we would be comfy at the computer. Well, we bought a decent chair now, and the pillow has ended up on the couch. I came downstairs one day to find the kitty laying with her head on the pillow and the rest of her sprawled on the couch! Oh, it was cute! But she is defiant! We discipline her with one of those can’s of air, that you dust the keyboard off with. We spray it at a distance. Oh and she has this thing with paper, she likes to rip it up! Crazy cat! So today shes doing that and I get the can out and spray it, and she runs to the other end of the couch to her gramma pillow and cowers!! Oh i felt bad! I’m such a softie! And Alexia is the most spoiled Kitty on the planet!
First things first!

Hello!
This blog originally started out as more of a bitch-fest! On our last trip up to Missoula, me and my boyfriend were observing peoples behaviours in airports, because as you know, that is the best thing to do to kill time! We usually travel Southwest airlines and theydon’t have assigned seating. People line up like cattle, as my boyfriend so lovingly puts it, and you wait for each line to board. You are either pre-board, which is saved for families or handicapped or other circumstances, A, B or C. Which line you are in is on your ticket and Im not real sure what determines what line you are in! At any rate, we observed the silly habits that people have when faced with a line. For example, it’s necessary to arrive at the airport about an hour to two hours before your flight nowadays, and if everything goes fairly smoothly, you end up waiting for a while before your plane takes off. Well, everything must’ve been going well, for a gentleman that had arrive to the gate shortly after we did, cuz he hauled it right up to the beginning of the B line! Because human nature dictates us to follow anybody when they form a line, people started to form one behind this guy, and the flight didn’t leave for another hour and a half or so!
At any rate, I have more interesting stories, I don’t wanna waste them on just one blog!
Hope you have a fabulous day!
