Friday Night I agree about animals. When you adopt them,it's like having a baby. You sign on for the long haul. Lucy will be 18 in March, and I've cleaned up so much poop and pee from that dog. But she can't help it. She can't hear or see well, but she loves to sleep on the leopard skin dog bed by my bed, and be next to me whenever she can. Yogi is a problem doggie because he had an unhappy childhood, and barks so much. He knocked me down for at least three of my falls last summer, but now he seems to understand that you can't hit Mom with 80 pounds of dog going 80 miles an hour! Willow is a dream dog. All 3 dogs sleep in my bedroom. My cats are just as diverse. It costs a lot to feed 8 pets, and I can't just take off, but they love me and I love them. I've always wished that pets were rare and cost a lot to buy, were status symbols, and you had to pass tests to get them. It's 10 p.m. and my eyes are tired from writing, and I'm hungry so time to go home and eat supper. Love to you all! Ann Posted by Ann on Friday, January 29, 2010 at 21:56 Thursday Evening Just a quick note. My dermatologist just called and said that the nail bed of my finger turned out to be benign--which is good news. What I had looked a lot like squamous cell skin cancer--which is the middle level of skin cancers. I'm very relieved that it wasn't, but I did get in early and they respond favorably to treatment if caught soon enough. I'm back to typing with all my fingers again, too. Arletta,I always prefer a long crotch in males--and don't care for big butts. Pam did you listen to my lecture on slides? I think you mentioned that houses below you might be in danger. Remember any bulldozing or changes on a hillside can trigger a slide. Of course, where I am it's mostly sand and more likely to slide. Just be sure and check landmarks for any movement. I need to get back to writing now. But I DO read your posts every day. Love, Ann Posted by Ann on Thursday, January 28, 2010 at 18:43 Wednesday Hi gang, I can't type well or much as I had a big round chunk of my left ring fingernail removed (deeply) for a biopsy by my dermatologist to see what is making that nail crack and peel. Won't know til next week. I have to write the best I can The doc and nurse kept saying "This is really going to hurt," but only the first 4 needle jabs next yo the nail hurt. Then, I didn't feel any pain until 2 a.m. I'm hunting and pecking and managing to type somwhow. Sigh. Talk to you when I have the use of all 10 fingers. Pam, be careful when it thaws and watch for fissures in the ground, trees bending over or rocks or clumps of dirt coming down. If your hill seems to be sliding, get out. You may need to consider having a geodetic engineer look at your land. After my slides, I had to put in bulkheads, 35' deep soldier pile wall, and well poinrs to keep my hill draining. I worry about you. If mud starts rolling, you must leave. Love, Ann Posted by Ann on Wednesday, January 27, 2010 at 13:59 Thursday Hi Gang, I'm past 300 pages on In the Still of the Night. This is the book whose working title had "justice" in it. It's a hardcover--due out in June. It's very complicated and suspenseful. Again, anyone who has info on Ronda and/or Ron Reynolds or Katherine Huttala, please contact me at this email. Your privacy will be safe. Wish I had as much energy as some of you give me credit for. My tailfeathers are draggin' but Spring is coming and some time off. I don't do much traveling to far-off places these days< although I'd love to meet all of you. Anyone on here had rotator cuff surgery? Opinions and experiences? I read every email but sometimes I don't have time to answer when I'm writing. My daughter, Leslie, the "ghost writer (literally) helps me keep up. My favorite TV shows? 48 Hours, Dateline, Cash Cab, 2-1/2 Men,(but I'm sick of Charlie's antics off screen!)The New Old Christine, Gary Unmarried, Snapped, Reba, Trauma in the ER, Deliver Me, I Didn't Know I Was PG, movies on LMN and Lifetime, Dateline, QVC, Medical Mysteries. The only reality show I watch is The Biggest Loser. Never watch the others at all. Like Dr. Phil sometimes, HATE Judge Judy! I think of you all often, and will try to be in touch more after March. For those near Seattle, I'll be signing free books at the Women's Show the last Sat. in March. I WILL be travling down I-5 in June, with many stops to sign and visit. It's 59 degrees now in Seattle. Whoopee! I have the tips of daffodils poking up, and hoping most of my perennials made it through the hard freezes. With my bad shoulder, I don't know how much hands-on gardening I'll be able to do. Sigh. No fear--so far, my fingers and my brain work pretty well and I can still write like the wind. With Mick's and Colorado Rosie's bottom conforters, I can even sit for 8 hours in a courtroom. Have a joyful and relaxing weekend, all of you! Love, Ann Posted by Ann on Thursday, January 21, 2010 at 14:21 View Journal and Archive
