I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Is Poppy really smart or what. Yesterday, I found her downstairs already in her nest when I went down for my shower. For the past few days, I've been shutting the front door so she can't slide open the screen and come back in. So finding her down there all ready to be tucked in told me she knew if she was outside when I got dressed she wouldn't be allowed back in.

Just now, she was in her old nest on the floor of our bedroom, saw me getting dressed and figured I might be going to work and would put her out. She hightailed it under the bed.

Clever kitty!!!

Wherever did you find a plain old phone?? I have a Kindle Fire and love it.



Scoot,

Enjoying a hard cider

I'm still awake but not for long. I spoiled myself and went and bought a wireless computer for my bike so I can know how far I ride. Also fixed the seat since it was loose - that took a while. Quietly swearing at my DD for breaking it last year when she was here. I got a $250 gift card from our electricity company for buying the energy efficient pool pump, so I used that for the computer and new bike pants for both of us - still got heaps left on the card.

 Athena - my phone doesn't even take pics but it does have a light

I'm stocked up on Lean Cuisine frozen dinners and chocolate for the week Steve's away and we have plenty of wine left.

Ha, ha! I hear you!

Had a lovely nap - snuggled up under all of the blankets - it's really cold today.The south westerleys have started.

Poppy has been in her little nest all day - she seems to be really tuned in to the weather.

I can sleep 10 hours at night, given half a chance. Really don't relate to those who can't sleep on Aromasin. For me it's the opposite. 

Sue, sweet dreams to you and Poppy!

Kira, when will we see that little genius's invention in action?! 99% is a lot higher than mammos! 

Count me as one of those with a simple flip phone.  I am technically challenged so having a smart phone would drive me nuts.  I can't text on my phone because I don't have a keyboard thingamajiggy and I am too slow to run through the letters. 

Besides I can't read a darn thing without glasses.  I can't even see the menu on my phone in the sunlight.

I am worried that if I got a kindle to read books, etc. that the glare would hurt my eyes and I would get frustrated.  Besides there is something about turning pages in a regular book that I like.

Been busy with the horse so haven't been around much.  It is high time due to the show season and if I am not showing myself - I am there supporting my friends.

Lovey and I were stood up. The lady was a no-call, no-show. Obviously, not the right person. So, the search goes on.

Yorkie - changing to Aromasin seems to have fixed the sleep problems I got from Arimidex. It was really cold last night - still is - went to bed around 10 and woke up at 5 as usual - added an extra blanket to replace Steve's warmth  I really hate being here alone.

Riley - sorry about the lady not showing up. Don't worry you'll find her a good home.

I prefer real books!!!

Count me in on the flip-phone fanclub! I kept my old Nokia cell phone (not a flip, the old small brick kind!) forever until I couldn't get batteries. Then I moved to a Motorola flip phone with TracFone, because I don't want to be THAT much in touch. I want my phone to be able to make and receive phone calls, not sing, dance, do my taxes, grocery shop, park my car and perform air traffic control services. I can receive and send texts, but it doesn't have a QWERTY keyboard so sending takes a long time. I refused a Crackberry with work for a long time (had a nice flip phone there, too), but was forced to take one this year because they discontinued the contract with Verizon and made everyone move to Sprint with a Crackberry. I was the last one because they didn't tell me -- they just didn't pay the bill. Procurement got in trouble for that one! The Crackberry (which I call my Bzzzt-bzzzt because that's what it does) is OK but I am not sure I will know how to answer it if someone calls. It is like holding a deck of playing cards to my ear!



I have an iPad for mobile computing, but I only have it because I won it in a contest. I would never have bought one, although I can now see how I would want to have one. I have read one book on it -- it is OK, but I prefer a paper book. I do like having Facebook on it, though, for the newsfeed (since I am a news junkie).



Flip-phone users, rise up! Help our sisters throw off their smart phone chains!

Will I go for an early morning ride or not?????? It's freezing - not by your standards but it must be 6 C or close to it.

Momine, I downloaded the Kindle app from the App Store. I also downloaded the Nook App, but I haven't used that. I also downloaded the Overdrive Media console which allows me to get e-books from my library. That comes in E-Pub format. I also downloaded some other book apps from the App Store, like Google Books (which is called something else now) and Kobo and a couple others. There are books in the public domain that you can then download. I had to download some to my computer and then move them to my iTunes, but don't remember how. Also you can buy books through iTunes.



Does that help?

Any of you horse folk out there: on a whim I was invited and then attended a presentation by a local breeder of straight Egyptian Arabian horses, mainly because I wanted to see pretty horses and foals.  There were three foals, and lots of very pretty horses.    I saw one yearling that was just gorgeous - very gentle.   I just feel in love with her.  Too bad I can't afford to buy her - but looking was free.

Sigh.  The irony is that I tell my daughter not to go look at kittens unless she can afford to take care of another cat (since she's unemployed, we're paying for her cat's food and vet).  So I go look at horses, which I can't possibly afford.  

Blue - gorgeous bird!!!
