Star Trek, Tour, Rain and butterflies...
Oh yeah, if you're looking for beads, I've made two bracelets, but am not ready to post them until I get a few more made...plus I have some backorders I need to fill...and some new silver - but I ran out of fuel yesterday...so I have some errands to run before I get things in order here...but i'm workin' on it...
I'm rockin' to the old Star Trek marathon on G4 right now...these old eps crack me up...and its been raining out, so our butterfly garden is drinking it up...I haven't been outside in it much, the plants are going crazy, the vines are taking over, and yesterday a Giant Swallowtail was laying eggs on the lime tree...we found 2 eggs, two teeny 'orange dogs' and one large one, who will turn into a butterfly in a few days...the fennel is lookin' pretty scraggily, but there were a ton of little mop ladybug larvae crawling all over it - they looked like teeny tribbles...so cute...
The tour is rolling along, an individual time trial was today, George Hincapie didn't do all that, but Floyd Landis was good...the mountains are looming...
So, who saw the new Pirates movie last night? I read that it made a zillion dollars, although I don't have any figures...is it good? the reviews swing wildly, EW gave it a D+, but our local paper liked it...and they don't like much of anything unless its gay cowboys eating pudding...(Cartman knows his indie movies)...We're lookin' forward to Wed and our feast...
Stray update - we're still feeding the kitty and today its sibling came running over, looking just as skinny and all wet from the rain...Brian took it over to the food and it scarfed down a good amount...I won't go into the problems of that family, we found out more info about them last night, and its no wonder they aren't feeding these cats - they can hardly feed themselves and one of them was in jail for shoplifting last month...nice... they can yell at me all they want, if these cats are starving, then we're gonna feed them...people suck...

Right on for takin' care of those kitties! I wish everyone were as responsible a pet owner as some of us. Little Dexter is smiling down on you guys from heaven!

that's fine if they need as much help - but why not say 'thank you for feeding our cats and helping us look after them' instead of yelling at me 'that's not your cat - stop feeding that cat' when it was obviously starving to death...I don't mind helping out, but when I get yelled at for doing so, its aggrivating...if they were taking care of their cats- I wouldn't get involved...but these cats are starving to death, (6lbs is not a full grown cat weight, unless you're Clementine and only weigh 5lbs completely wet)...I can't handle watching helpless animals starve - if these people need help, that's fine, but they have choices on low-cost housing, food stamps, etc and can eat and stay dry...the cats don't have those options...and these folks have had dogs removed from their property for the same neglect reasons...they are just not good animal owners and should not be allowed to have pets...period.../soapbox rant off...

BY the way Donna, do you remember the "Trouble with Tribbles"????For your untrekkies Tribbles multiply like CRAZY!!! You can't have one without getting a GAZILLION of them!!!Geez I think Harry Mudd brought them aboard !!!

You have it right...there's not one excuse. Those cats didn't choose them - they have a responsibility to those cats if they chose to keep them. Those cats don't have choices those people do. If they can't feed them they should be thankful someone is willing to do it. I could get on a soapbox too but won't since I am just visiting your site! We have two cats that we rescued. Thank you for what you are doing.
