So, I bought this FM transmitter at the Apple Store, but apparently my iPod is too old and sad to make it work, or some such nonsense. Aaaaand, I didn't realize I had to return it within 14 days (I've been travelling!). Anyone willing to buy it from me? It works fine for anyone else's iPod, it seems, but mine is a few years old. Email me (mearagirl at yahoo) if you're interested!

I got that internship that I'd applied for. Thanks for all the job~ma, everybody.

I haven't mentioned this here, but I've been looking for a job for the last couple of weeks, currently being without. So I'll take that spare, successful job~ma floating about.

I've got a job with the company I interviewed with twice. It's $8K/year more than the last place that I worked, but it does involve an hour drive each way. Office casual, so I have to wear my nicer clothes.

Still? Job! I start Thursday.

Releasing Job~ma.

A good friend of mine has a brother who was diagnosed about six months ago with Lou Gehrig's disease. He's declined rapidly and isn't expected to live much longer since he can no longer swallow and has refused a feeding tube. I would greatly appreciate any ~ma and prayers you see fit to send in the direction of Madison to the Awes family. They have done an incredible job of gathering round to take care of him and I know they could use some good thoughts to come their way at this time. Thank you.

I am looking for actual Dog~ma!

My Aunt has always had dogs, beautifully trained, happy, wonderful dogs. In the last eighteen months she lost her two standard poodles, but with my Grandmother ailing it was not the time to acquire a new puppy.

Now that my Gramma has passed we are on a quest to find my aunt a new Standard Bitch -- naturally my thoughts turned immediately to the Buffistas.

If anyone knows of a breeder or shelter with a litter (particularly if closeish to Kentucky) please let me know. My Aunt has no interest in breeding or showing. Profile addy is good. Thanks.

MWAH

There are some kind, generous and lovely Buffistas I'm sending thanks out to right now from me, Christopher, Owen and Olivia.

The newest CBG, #1616, has another column by me, this time on OEL manga

Looking for a little stone~ma for tomorrow morning. My gall bladder will be removed in an exceedingly routine outpatient procedure. I must admit to being a little nervous. Just being here in Apocalypse amongst you who are living through major triumphs and challenges puts things in perspective - yet another reason to be thankful for b.org.

I feel fortunate knowing that I'm going to come out on the other side of this feeling ever so much better.

Sending back the ~ma to them what needs it. Even if you didn't say so. Somehow it makes me stronger too.

My MIL is undergoing surgery tomorrow for lung cancer. DH is with her so if you have any spare surgery-ma, it would be appreciated.
