What a terribly sad day for the opening of the World Cup. Indeed, I'm sure it's a very sad day for many people in South Africa. I was so sad to hear earlier this afternoon that Mr. Mandella's great-granddaughter was tragically killed in a car accident on her way home from a tournament concert in... Sign in to see full entry.

THE GATHERING SHADOWS Kiev, Ukraine, 2 January, 1945 I stand at the window, watching. Heavy snowflakes fall like feathers from a fat goose. It is only early evening, about seven o’clock, I think, but too dark for any wandering traveller to find their way safely. So, I simply wait. I will pounce at a... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I meant to write so much earlier today, but life got in the way again! It took us forever to get moving this morning! Mum came round for coffee earlier this afternoon, which is another reason I couldn't be here until now. But I'm here now, so this won't be my only entry for today.... Sign in to see full entry.

I personally don't care much at all for Simon Cowell. I can't stand to watch AMERICAN IDOL because I get fed up to here with his cruel, crude, obnoxious, and downright unnecessary comments to the hopefuls who come to him hoping to fulfill a lifelong dream. There is no call whatsoever for the way he... Sign in to see full entry.

I've just contacted the police department and left a message for Ann. The person who took it said they'd have her ring me back, so I hope she does that soon. I don't know why, but suddenly I'm a nervous wreck about this whole mess! That doesn't mean that I'm willing to back down though. Not for a... Sign in to see full entry.

I think I'm finally ready to get on with Vyktor's story. Has anyone figured out the connections yet? I have a telephone call to make, and then a shower and then it's back to the story! I'll be back soon. Sign in to see full entry.

It's another dark, gloomy day here. From where I sit at the laptop desk, all I can see are gray skies. The clouds are full of rain drops just waiting to splash down to earth to give water and life to all inhabitants. I've calmed down quite a lot since that first post I wrote yesterday, but I meant...

Hi everyone... I don't believe she's been able to post this yet, so I'd like to ask for prayers for MandaLee and her family. Her Granny passed away on Sunday evening. As most of us know, her Granny suffered a long battle with Emphysema. According to what I've heard, the funeral is set for tomorrow.... Sign in to see full entry.

I am sick to death of people around me committing acts of animal cruelty and getting away with it! If I hear ONE MORE TIME from the managress here in our flat complex that there is NOTHING they can do about our stupid-ass neighbour letting her cat run into my flat, I'm going to tell her off. Let me... Sign in to see full entry.

I've just been thinking...I want to finish the first draft of Vyktor's story, but I've neglected Marianna and Max far too long. I think I'll re-post AVINGNON again from the beginning to give some of my new readers a chance to catch up. As I say, fear not...Vyktor is going to continue today. Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... We're doing okay today. We know Nikki is in Heaven playing with his pal Meeko and chasing clouds and butterflies, and that gives us peace. Neither of us has any regrets in letting him go to sleep last night. He knew it was time, and so did we. It was a blessing and a grace to release... Sign in to see full entry.

He's gone to sleep... Sign in to see full entry.

Hello everyone... Thank you for your kind words for our Nikki. He is in our room resting now, bless him. He is still eating and drinking and sassing us, and it's good to know he'll be spicy and fiesty straight to the end. But the end has come a day sooner. Margaret and I decided last night that it...

We were so happy...we thought he'd be with us for at least another month, but... Nikki will go to the vet one last time on Tuesday morning with Margaret and he'll go to sleep. At long last, his pain and suffering will finally come to an end. We made the decision just a few minutes ago. Do we regret... Sign in to see full entry.

Hello my friends... I know...I haven't written a single post thus far today...poor Vyktor has been detained and probably will be until sometime tomorrow...but perhaps not. We will see. The weather has been brutal these last two days, so the computer has been on again off again. Hence, the delay for... Sign in to see full entry.

I love to read. I have ever since I was a kid. Mum always used to read to us before bed, and I had other friends-and of course teachers when I was a child-who read to me as well. I loved that! Through this expirience, I learned that books are truly candy for the soul. When we read, or are read to,... Sign in to see full entry.

Yes, this is my first post of todsay, but it won't be my last. Roommie and I slept in way longer than we intended to this morning...didn't drag our lazy bones out of bed until 11:00! In the first place, we both needed the sleep. Secondly, we were awakened at about 7:30 by a rather violent... Sign in to see full entry.

What a week! I am SOOOOO glad it's over! It's gonna be a mild night, 'cause I'm not in a spicy sort of mood. Roommie and I have just now decided that we're going to throw on our pajamas early tonight and have an ice cream pajama party! We've got mint choclate chip and peanut butter cup to choose...

I swear, Roommie and I have the STRANGEST collection of furry critters EVER! They don't follow the norm for most animals in any way, shape or form! In a way, this is a blessing to us. The vet finally rang us back earlier this afternoon, and it seems that our Nikki-aka. Nikkita, aka. Oscar the Grouch... Sign in to see full entry.
