An Ah-Ha Moment
I called AOL this time. instead of online Tech Support. It took another 1 1/2 hours. What I accomplished is that I now know HOW to get AOL completely out of my computer when my time runs out here.
That AND a bit of information....I said to Techie "I hear that AOL will be no more as of January".
He said, "We are not allowed to comment on that issue".
While waitng for all the Uninstalling, Restartind, deleting program files, restarting I said to Techie that it certianly appears with AOL closing Journals and pictures and sending us all to Google that either there is a merger taking place or Google is buying out AOL. ::silence::
I don't Techie really knows. I've been with companies that were sold and even with me being in management I wasn't priviliged to any information.
Certainly if it wasn't true AOL would give instructions to say it isn't true. Not an "We aren't allowed to comment".
~So Much For A Positive Attitude~
I am having AOL problems. I don't think I'll be on AOL much longer. In fact I told the to terminate my account because my Email is all messed upand none of thier techs know how to fix it. I can't reply or forward mail. Can't download attachments.
Just wanted to say g'bye if I don't come back. I think I have most Blog Spot Addies and will try to catch up with you there.

~Here Kitty~
This was a lesson challenge. I had to do it this way-not sure I like it.
.
It might not have been a mouse, but it was a little critter. I edited out the part where I had to open her mouth to do a swipe and swoosh.
Oh, Mau'i is a REALLY good cat. She has never jumped on the counters, climbed the curtains, the shower curtian, or the screen door. She doesn't beg for food & has never pee's or poohed in the house. After she started going out in July I never had to empty the box again. So that thing had been gone for a couple months now. Every night she sleeps in her crate and at 6: 15 she meows a couple times for me to take her out. I put her out with fresh water and kibble and I go back to bed. Yep I tell her to "Go eat a Bug"!
And except for the morning wake up call she only meows outdoors to me. Indoors not a peep. Isn't that an odd thing?
This morning I heard the tink, tink, tink of her tags and thought this is good I'll just go get her before she meows. Ha! She didn't have to. She had somehow gotten out of the crate. I must not have completely had the door latched in. This video is only 45 seconds long. She is one wild & crazy girl.
Today I saw 3 of Maui's 4 brothers and was able to pet them. Miss Mau'i is only about half as big as the one Ingrid calls "the Runt". They are all orange tigers, coats are rough & coarse. Their heads large & are all very muscular. I do brush Mau'i a couple times a day for a few minutes to get the dirt and hair off her before I let her in the house & have noticed a big difference in how nice & sleek she is looking.
Before I get razzed for totally spoiling her I must tell you that she has claimed the couch has her own (well, the spot between Jazzy & I). She cleans the dirt from her paws & fur on the sheet covering it. I was cleaning up the fur & sand she left behind a couple times a day. Not only that, but one evening after she ate & then commenced to clean herself she jumped up & urked on me & the laptop. All in one gracful motion.
Think that's gross? Ya should have been on this side of the screen : /
With me brushing her she is not grooming nearly as much an I am no longer giving her a full serving of kibble when she comes in at night. Yes, I'm trainable!

~Celebration of the Late Autumn Harvest~
Yesterday was the Day of the Autumn Harvest/Mabon/Fall Equinox. September 22nd marked the day where the day and night are equally divided. I spent the day nuturing and loving my Plants as I repotted them. The Herbs and Pineapple are doing great. Jasmine & I went across the street to Crystal Beach to collect some Shells & Sand to Renew the replace the Sand and Shells I have in the Earthenware container that sits next to my door. In the other terra cotta planter I have Rosemary. I picked a few Avocados from the tree along the fence as they are just coming into season now. It's so nice of this wonderful Tree to provide me fruitful nourishment through the Fall months.
For my little feast I roasted a Cornish Game Hen with Rosemary, baby Carrots, & Red Potatoes, homemade Applesauce , one of the Avocados sliced, and cinnamon sugar cookies (Snicker Doodles). On the table I placed cinnamon candles that I pulled from the cupboard along with my little corn husk men and purple and orange Indian corn along with a couple of Miss Tree's fruit, lite the Candles and and put some Orange Oil in the tart burner. A small alter which was so nice to reflect upon my life the past year and the changes that have taken place....I gave thanks for friendships, the plants that grow so naturally for me, and the Animals I nurture. I ate my little feast of Mabon as I felt closer to Mother Earth and at Peace.

Snags and Tags
Sorry I haven't been around much. I've been very tired and have even taking afternoon naps. I guess I need to get into the doctor & have my blood counts checked. I'm feeling that I am more anemic than "my normal anemic".
I accidently missed my last appointment. So I know my chart indicates I was a "No Show". I'm sooooo embarassed. As a nurse I should know better and not be a "No Show".
*Note to Self ~ call Monday & reschedule
Anyway, I have been doing some PSP and did a few decent tags this past week for Fall. It's still in the mid 90's here in Plam Harbor during the day so it's a little difficult to get into the spirit of "Autumn".
You may snag these if you like and this time I'll even offer to tag them.
What these look like with names...
Hugs to All!
