Oh - I'm not alone. I seem to twirl and twirl forever getting to M or N before it kicks in and zips right past the song I'm looking for.

Today I need to go to Lowes to shop for a multiuse shovel. Something suitably heavy for, allegedly, whacking her over the head, yet lightweight enough to carry into the woods and, hypothetically, digging a shallow grave.

Dixie - do what Dorothy did. Drop a house on her. You're the only one I know that can fly a house in a tornado.

So now I have her cursed bug - extreme sore throat, fever, aches & pains -- sort of like a mini case of flu! If my brain ever starts working again, I'm going to plan how to thank her!  |
Everyone around me at work has had the bug. So far I've been able to side step it. Get well soon. (Just heard some one upstairs sneeze loudly.)

I'm just glad none of them were directly in front of the truck (except the raccoon, which we still managed to miss). I spent the whole ride home wound tighter than a coiled spring watching for deer to dart in front of us.
I know they were here first, but dang they are nerve wracking.

There were two wallabies on the side of the road on the way to work this morning. Plenty of slow foxes around here too. I saw a car exactly like mine in the repair shop that hit a kangaroo on the same stretch of the mountain I go over twice a day. It wasn't pretty. Those silly drivers that tail gate had better keep back because I brake for animals. Haven't hit one yet but would have hit plenty without braking.
And now for my rant! I returned home from visiting my sister last Sunday to find no internet. The phone line has been down ever since and the battery in the mobile phone has given up the ghost. Last week Telstra promised they would have it fixed by 7pm this evening. Is anyone here a gambler?
The good news is I haven't had a direct marketer call me from India trying to get me to switch phone companies this week.
