OMG! I am outraged and sick! Whoever had the brilliant idea of using this means of ending the suffering of an innocent dying animal should be locked away forever! There are less frightening and painful-and far more humane ways of ending the life of a terminally ill animal, but NO! These idiots have... Sign in to see full entry.

As many of you know, I have a friend in Moskow named Volodya. He's a very sweet man, and his emails are always very kind. Recently, I offered to translate Vyktor's story for him from English into Russian. He can speak English, but can't read it very well without the aid of an online translator. This...

According to our news broadcasts last evening, the heat is supposed to begin breaking up starting tonight. We are under watch for Earl until late Saturday evening. I am praying with all my heart that the storm will pass us by. Still, the Lord is with us and will protect us. I just pray that the heat... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I've done it. I just submitted to short-VERY short-pieces of writing to my other site. I doubt anyone will comment on them...I've only had like five comments there since I joined toward the end of July. But, I need to comment more myself. It isn't that I don't mean to or don't want to, it's... Sign in to see full entry.

The heat and humidity are horrible here again today. It's all the worse outside because of the humidity and people are being advised to stay indoors unless it is absolutely necessary to go out and to stay as cool as possible and well hydrated. If it's still hot where you are, please be very careful... Sign in to see full entry.

My God! I just opened the window here next to the laptop, and there is NO breeze ANYWHERE! No movement in the leaves or grass...not even a whisper of movement. Poor Mocha wants to come out for his nightly freedom, but I think he's safer in his pen until I can open the window and get some air in here... Sign in to see full entry.

I will be back. It's nearly noon already, and I'm hungry again. So, I'm going to make some lunch and finish cleaning the coffee pot. After that, who knows what I'll get myself up to? Not much, in this terrible heat I suspect. I hope you're all having a wonderful Tuesday. If it's hot where you are,... Sign in to see full entry.

Goodness, I've been at it since I woke up this morning! First, it was feed and water and clean up after the pets, then myself. Then it was breakfast time and time to start cleaning the coffee pot and gather up the beverage bottles I've left floating round the house for the past couple of days. The...

It's still really hot here and my back is hurting again, so I'm off to watch another episode of TAGGART. Then I'll put Mocha back to bed for the night and wash the dishes. After that, we'll do our best to see about Vyktor, da? I'll be back soon... Sign in to see full entry.

Please pray for those who are under threat from hurricane Earl, which has been upgraded to a catagory four. Also, please continue to pray for the Chilean miners who are still trapped and for their families. Thank you, my friends. Sign in to see full entry.

It is HOT! Thankfully I'm off to the shower in a few minutes. A friend is coming over later to help me clean Mocha's pen again. He helped me do it on Friday too, bless him. I actually feel like doing some crafting today but I don't know if I'll get round to it because it's so warm. Maybe this... Sign in to see full entry.

My heart nearly leaps into my throat once more when Babi knocks and calls to me through the door. “I am sorry we took so long to get back,” Dadi says cheerfully. “But I managed to get these for you from a neighbour of ours.” He extends a hand woven basket toward me loaded with several kinds of...

Okay, I feel really silly now! My Uncle just reminded me that Mum was going to visit my brother's two little ones today! That's why she didn't answer the phone when I rang earlier. My Uncle was probably on the phone with my cousin. So shame on me for being annoyed! Sign in to see full entry.

Mum STILL isn't answering the phone! It's STILL got a busy signal!!!! Sign in to see full entry.

Well, here it is Sunday afternoon again. It's nice and sunny, but still not as hot as everyone was claiming it would be today. I wonder what tomorrow will be like? I've just finished with yet another episode of TAGGART. This one was more sad than nail-biting. I've just put my dinner into the oven.... Sign in to see full entry.

What a hot miserable day this has been! I only watched an hour of my Britcoms tonight. I couldn't be bothered with the other two. Next week though. I just finished another episode of TAGGART instead. The critters are fed and watered and cleaned so they're happy. I've shut up the blinds and windows... Sign in to see full entry.

Dinner's been had...yummy! The second and last load of wash for the evening in now in the dryer and there it will stay until tomorrow when I'm good and ready to fetch it! I'm not going anywhere near those blasted machines again tonight! God must be smiling me 'cause not one of the shirts or the... Sign in to see full entry.

Lunch/dinner will be ready in just a few more minutes. Just put some of the new shirts into the wash along with the one pair of sweats. I had to mix blues and greens together, and since they've never been washed, I'm praying the colours won't bleed. The first load of wash is now in the dryer. I'll... Sign in to see full entry.

Uggh! Some days my body really frustrates the unholy hades out of me. Today is one of those days. I really do try my best not to whinge on about things or let it get to me, but with everything that's been going on(not just with my poor brother)it ain't been an easy day! I decided to have my shower... Sign in to see full entry.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers for my brother and our family. Mum told me last night that he's gone off the meds for his bipolar. I've seen this happen many times with different friends who have the condition. More often than not, the meds end up making the person feel worse than... Sign in to see full entry.
