Yes, people would push me - not hard, but enough to send the message they wanted me to move.

And the buses have seating reserved for the elderly and handicapped at the front, but I've seen apparently healthy people - often teenagers - sit there, as often as not taking up more than one seat, while someone with a cane or crutches had to stand.

You've probably seen me in that seat, though. Because that's exactly what I'd have looked like--a healthy teenager.

and my friend looked like a healthy 20+ year old. But no she didn't take up more than one seat

JZ, I have no problem with questioning a person without any kind of plate or keying their car, but questioning a valid plate is different.

Real estate bitca responded once again and still missed 2 questions. She is responding to our agent and he is forwarding them to me, so I am restraining myself from responding "can you even read"?

Much love, bonny. If it's not right, don't force it. BTW, the little purse you gave me is just right for holding essentials at parades. Thanks again.

sj, I'm out of creative gobsmackedness at that agent. IDEK.

sj, I hope your agent is taking notes on "Who I don't want to work with every again and whom I will warn everyone I know about."

Is "whom" right there? I'm just going by ear on that.

This makes me purr with happiness. Yay.

I love how comfortable I am with this dog. More so than with any other besides Bartleby (before, or after)...which is confusing. When Bartleby came, we were a hot mess together. This guy and I are just fine. But. Calm isn't everything, I fear.

I don't want to push it, but I don't want to be a skardycat either.

Erin, I think you need this print for your office. [link]

AH!! I want that, but I spent too much money on needed stuff this week, so I can't justify it. DAMMIT. It's perfect!

bonny, no guilt is necessary, but you feel whatyou feel, and let it go as much as you can. No one can replace Bartleby, but you have room in your heart for a new friend.

I missed the Feb. krav intro section, but I am going to the March 10th one, and I have talked one of my guy friends who has a black belt in hapkido, but hasn't been able to afford practice for a while to go with me so we can egg each other on. And I have another friend who might go with me. I should get a throwing star for each person I bring, I think!

I'm also starting a fitness prgram with a girlfriend: home weights and pull-up bars at her house, walking the dogs and a weekly (cheap) yoga class. All I miss is a lat pull-down machine, and a leg press. Man, I LOVE leg presses; I feel like a superhero. I can do 2 sets of 12 reps at 250 lbs, and 1 set of 5 reps at 300. And I'm going to be going yoga and free weights at home to help with upper body strength --

I am gonna have some GUNS! WOO!

Ok, a little more time on the comp, and then off to Microcenter for toner, and Micheals for a picture frame.

I love those little basset legs. But I am super sensitive anymore to potential mobility issues.

bonny, well, it IS like a blind date. you have to go pn a few before you find a good match! Take you time, and find the right companion. There's no hurry, love.

And Maria, just...you know. XOXO.
