Kitten Stuff, Legal Stuff, and Jumping a Country Mile
06 Sep 2007 1 Comment
I’m sitting here, intently reading legal stuff. I’m totally focused on what I’m doing, and then I hear foot steps in my hallway, right outside my bedroom door. The sounds aren’t coming from a cat, or the dog, it sounds like a man’s steps. I look up, and was so startled that I yelled my head off.
I had forgotten my son was home and didn’t realize he was headed towards me to ask a question. He laughed a lot, I laughed a little, but I have to say that I really was startled. He wasn’t trying to sneak up on me, but he couldn’t have done a better job of scaring me if he had planned the whole thing.
Speaking of kittens, Karen has a new hobby, “Ring The Bell”. It sounds almost impossible but I saw it with my own eyes. She wraps her little paws around the moulding of a doorway, and climbs all the way to the top. It looks like one of those old carnival attractions where the player hits a thing with a hammer, it then rises up and rings the bell. It is such a sight to behold that even the other cats just sit and stare with their eyes wide open as she shimmies up, up, up.
Back I go to reading the legal stuff. Man, I am getting tired of all the “wherefores”, “therebys” and all that. I don’t mind writing the stuff, but it’s not fun when I have to read what someone else wrote.
This song applies perfectly today

I found this older guy singing on YouTube today, and it sums up everything for me:
Some legitimate info on telecommuting and working from home

If you’re looking to make a few extra dollars, you may be interested in a report done by ABCNews.com. They checked into several work from home companies and found them to be very reputable. A few of the companies mentioned in the story are:
I haven’t checked into all these, but they don’t seem like scams, but instead, they’re probably part of a growing trend. Personally, I noticed in my local paper that the branch of GE in the Phoenix area is also looking for tele-commuters.
Feeling a bit off-kilter today

Not sick, or anything like that. I just feel out of sorts, like I’m wearing two different shoes, or I just noticed that I’ve had my shirt on inside out for half the day. I wish I could put my finger on it, but I guess I’ll just keep plugging along. Maybe its because I’m having a bit of a pressure sensation in one ear. I’ve been reading online and found that it could be caused by a buildup of ear wax. Further searching for home remedies, I found that some sites suggest that putting a stool softener such as Colace in your ear can loosen the wax and relieve the problem.
Okay, now that we’re all done snickering over the idea of using Colace in such a unique way, remember they laughed at Edison too. Well, I have to admit they also laughed at Bozo the Clown too, but that’s beside the point.
Listening to the Golden Oldies (and Moldies)

A local radio station, KOOL FM, now has the option of listening to their station online. So I’m sitting here, hearing songs I haven’t heard in a long time. They actually have some good local humor too, so I may try to remember what they said and then incorporate it into future posts, bwahaha.
I still do not like the Rolling Stones.
Still don’t care for The Beatles (sorry Larry), although McCartney wasn’t too bad after the breakup.
The Carpenters aren’t as sickly sweet as I first thought.
I think Mark Lindsay sounds mad singing “Arizona”, and I hope he’s not harboring a grudge against our entire state.
“Three Dog Night” is supposed to refer to the practice of Indigenous Australians sleeping with dogs when it got chilly, so therefore, a “three dog night” meant it was very cold. I didn’t research this online to see if any Australians ever slept with dingos and I’m really not motivated enough to go looking. If you feel so inclined, could you post the results of your search for everyone to see? Thanks.
I PROMISE not to write about Arizona weather….

At least, I won’t write anything till something interesting happens here. Lets face it, weather here is probably one of the most boring topics unless a monsoon kicks up. When that happens, we get the chance to mock everyone that’s been caught breaking the “stupid motorist” law. In the meantime, We’ve spent a lot of time today working on the other site, and it is beginning to look great, if I do say so myself.

Once again, we were all fooled by the howling and blowing wind. It’s like a big build up, and then nothing. It’s totally calm outside now, not a cloud in the sky. Darn it all, I wanted to see some lightning too. Oh well, its gotta rain sooner or later around here.
