LOL, that reminds me of an old Calvin and Hobbes where Calvin writes a paper "Bats are bugs." Maybe the geckos are there to eat your scorpions... do they do that? <br /><br />Ack. I hate when burners go wonky. I have two that are running hot even on low. It totally sucks.<br /><br />Yeah, it would be cool, but my Eric Larsen never struck me as a writerly type person. If I remember right - which is iffy on the best of days - he became a mechanic. Not that mechanics can't be writers, too, but it's not a typical thing.B.E.

Double oh-no for Deeders. :hugs: LOL, I'm pretty sure I couldn't handle a kitten again, but they are so much fun. Poor Boone. And yay for Jake! <br /><br />Yay for writing, even if it is only a little. I hope you got your links updated. Which reminds me that I have some back matter to deal with before my next sale. Drudge work is the worst.<br /><br />I hope your Friday went well. And today, too. B.E.

I hope it brings you sales!<br /><br />It's definitely the year of the bug. A record 8 scorpions, as well as the usual critters. Do geckos count as bugs? I've been invaded. They don't seem to do any damage, but I accidentally killed at least three.<br /><br />A second burner on my stove stopped working. Well, one is dead, and the other only runs on high, even on Simmer. My dinner boiled over before I noticed it. I hope it's just the elements, if I can figure out how to change them.<br /><br />It would be cool if you went to school with that Eric Larsen!Deb Salisbury, Magic Seeker and Mantua-Makerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01513482264195697450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076293789081887442.post-57610776652139057462019-08-29T10:03:52.486-05:002019-08-29T10:03:52.486-05:00The metro area had a tornado and high straight win...The metro area had a tornado and high straight winds Monday night. We came through fine, as did the kids. The BiL not so much. They lost a strip of shingles on the main part of the house and half the garage roof. 😟<br /><br />Adidas is now partially paralyzed in her back legs so she can't really walk. She's not in pain, eats, drinks, does business (just not in the litter box). She seems content in her soft bed, on a puppy pad which we change through the day. She meows. Demands attention. Not sure how long she'll last. Vet just shrugs and says as long as we don't mind the "critical" care, let her be. So, we're letting her be.<br /><br />Loki is my 5 am alarm. He climbs up on the bed between the sheet and the bedspread and attacks my feet. The bedspread provides some protection from his sharp little vampire-kitty teeth. The sheet? None at all!<br /><br />Loki also likes wadded up paper "balls." He grabs them in his mouth, stalks off and then "plays" with them like a cat with a mouse. 🙄<br /><br />Boone is a worry wart. Loki freaks him out (Can't hurt the little thing!) and he goes in to check on Deeders about once an hour, which pisses her off because he noses her while she's sleeping.<br /><br />Jake is just Jake. Mostly mellow, loves to ride in the car, ignores the cats, barks at things moving down the street, and snoozes a lot. Life is good. I want to be Jake. 🙃<br /><br />I'm writing. A little. Better than nothing. I need to update my website with the new links on the Nightrider books. I think I'll do that when I get off the web. <br /><br />And that's my this. Tomorrow is Friday. Yay.<br />Silver Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606837105470988646noreply@blogger.com
