All kinds of -ma to you, Sean. I hope it goes well, and I hope everything else gets sorted, too. This is just so much to be dealing with. Hugs.

Oh Sean, I'm thinking of you today.

What a hard, hard time this has been for you.

In cheerier, news...Cash! Matilda wanted to see some pictures on the computer. And just from the thumbnails she spotted you and called you by your real name and wanted to see pictures of you.

{{Sean}} Much ~ma to you, and S and her Mom. A kick in the pants to your landlord.

Much of the neighborhood was without power last night and into this morning because of a couple of trees that came down during the storm yesterday a few streets away. We had power, but our cable (and thus our phone and internet) were out until a couple of hours ago.

Fortunately, the storm has passed and none of the trouble seems to be affecting this afternoon's plans, the Pooch Pool Party that the county runs.

I've had a four day weekend, thanks to working over Labor Day, and on Friday we took Sassafras on a 5 mile hike in one of the VA parks, and then we stopped at a winery nearby because they have a stream she could swim in. A few pictures of her day, and the puppy flopped on the living room floor afterward: [link]

eta: Much ~ma for your pup, Barb!

(((Sean))) All sorts of conversation-ma.

{{{Sean}}} lots of ~ma for all the crap you're going through.

Barb- have you tried making a stew - maybe something with low sodium broth and chicken? (For Mooshu, I mean.)

Has anyone here played with Wordle?

It's a website that has a program that will take any writing and display it as a word jumble, with the frequency of any one word making a larger size in the jumble.

You can alter the display and colors of the jumble, so there is some manipulating that can be done.

One of the amusing ones I came across was this one: [link]

The text of McCain's speech at the RNC entered in by one user.

The words "president barack obama" stand out in the center. heh.

Joe Biden's speach features Barack, obama and change in one clump: [link]

If course other variations don't show the same jumping, so I wonder at what parts of the speeches each person input to the program.

Has anyone here played with Wordle?

I have!

Sean, continued thoughts and ~ma for you, S and her mom.

Barb- have you tried making a stew - maybe something with low sodium broth and chicken? (For Mooshu, I mean.)

I went to Petsmart and picked up the Bene-Bac and gave him one dose. I've also picked up some real-people food-like canned food and the dog version of Ensure, and then some low-sodium chicken soup at the grocery store. I figure I'll make some plain rice later and combine it with some soup and see if any of it takes.

Has anyone here played with Wordle?

Oooh, I have. I've done it with my manuscripts. It's fun.

Oh, Sean, honey. So much ~ma.

And doggie~ma too!

Back to reading...

All my people~ma to Sean

All my doggie~ma to Mooshu
