Now that things have settled down, the reality sets in.

The music of the freshly brewed Butter Rum coffee dripping into the pot.

For you, I can imagine everything you need to do before you leave. There is just one question I have... did you get your letter written?

You are right, but then I think of Gary Larsen, who is the creator of The Far Side. He is amazing and in my opinion, a creative genius. If you have not seen then, look at The Mouse Guard series, by David Petersen. Start with Fall 1152, then Winter 1152, followed by Legends of The Guard and now the first two issues of The Black Axe.

Absolutely, very, very old. They should do like another company I know of, they advise you that if you do not hear something within two weeks, then consider yourself not a candidate. That would make it much, much easier. Focus on some of the other schools that you applied to. Hopefully something good will turn out.

Sounds great!!! Good luck!!!

Other countries have some of the funniest adverts.

I totally agree. Rest up and get rid of that allergy-sinus-infection bug. One day will not matter, and resting will only make you feel better. Besides, you have to prepare for going to camp. Feel better soon!

On youtube, check out Cats with Thumbs. The version with over 2 million views. This is a British advert and it is hilarious.

Puck will forgive you for being a horrible monster, which I believe is NOT the case. For a cat, the sewing room sounds like a nice place to be stuck, as long as you can make a bed on the fabric. As for Sasha, digging and playing in her bedding is what she does in the wild. Dig down into the bedding to hide or sleep. That is okay if you put in a lot. Glad to hear that Sasha is settling down. Hagar, my little grey boy, is still scared of everything. Helga, the blonde female has no idea she is supposed to be nocturnal. If she could she would have to put her in and out of the ball all morning long. She never goes to sleep before noon. Photoshop... when you master that, you can give me lessons. Good luck with the job at the library! I hope you get it. If not, the receptionist at the veterinarian's office might not be so bad. Thank you for your kind words. I am totally speechless. That is a first for me. Time is needed to mend my heart.

The office supply store... I love wandering around that place! The coloured pencils, markers and other art supplies is my first stop, followed by the graph paper aisle. The first book is always the hardest. You are doing great and I am applaud you for your dedication. You will be a terrific author. This is one thing I am certain of!!!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Waiting is so hard. You are in my prayers for a positive outcome!

Seriously, I could not send the letter at all. It would be just before he was released that I would tell him. Sort of on the premise that he did not need any more bad news. I am such a wimp that way.

Thank you both, Arkcher and Topazia. There is always some good that comes out of such sadness and that is the fact that I will try very hard to have an outstanding relationship with my nephew. He is an amazing young man and I look forward to spending much more time with him. Too often we put off until tomorrow, what we can do today. I plan on not doing that with Kyle. The only bad news is that he is in California. Perhaps I should move a little closer, such as Nevada. I want to take this time to thank everyone here for their friendship. Although I do not always say, each and every person on the boards is special to me and I cherish all of you with a place in my heart.

Yeah... right. No Arkcher is the king of trollers and lurkers. I am a proud troll! *evil grin* My sense of humor is very trollish. I just carry it out in such a way that the game (heh) is to get you to realize it. And yeah... You lost. I remember my first post was in the pets forum, and I went on about my nine cats and who knows how many fish. I was about 12, 13. I miss HD from 8 years ago. Cheetahspot, puppydog/myownmind, tghl, lifeseagle, taynio, I'm forgetting a big one, I can't remember. And when HK actually participated on the boards. Those were the days!!!

Lexxyman... welcome back! Glad to hear you are alive and well. Friendship is Magic... will have to check into that. Thanks!

Your stress is totally understandable. The death of the rabbit in your care makes you feel responsible and writing the letter is extremely difficult. It is a normal reaction to push people away in this situation. I wish I had the words to help you, but I am at a loss. The news will be hard for him, but no matter what, he will know that you tried your best to take the very good care of his rabbits.

Thank you. It has been very tough.

*gives Mega Wolf a giant cyber hug* I am so, so sorry. What an awful way to start the day. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know how hard it is when one of your beloved babies dies. Hopefully your day is getting better.

Let me post the six or so photographs and give you the panoramic view! Even more beautiful! I need a couple days as I do not have them on this computer.

Sounds like a phenomenal birthday!!!! My friend, Neal, started watching Green Hornet and turned it off after about three minutes. He didn't like it either.

*enjoys a slice of my favourite food... birthday cake* Thank you so much!!!

That's a great story!!! Here is the picture again. This board sometimes does strange things with the photographs. Let's see if it decides to appear.

This is such a tough time for you. Waiting is so difficult. It seems like the companies have no idea just how hard it is for the interviewee (?) to be put on hold. Yes, I do agree, it is excellent that the principal remembered you. This is great news!!! They were interviewing for a number of positions, is this correct? My mind is a bit clogged at the moment, so I apologize for not remembering. If so, then it makes total sense to take longer than they anticipated, although it does not make it any easier on you. The good news is that they did not immediately eliminate you. We have to look at the positive side of things. The other good news is that there are teaching jobs looking for applicants. I am pleased to hear this as this means that you have a lot more opportunity to get a teaching job. You will get something soon, I am positive of this. Thank you for the update.

We knew you would be an outstanding succes!!! Congratulations!!!!!!! This is absolutely the greatest news!!! What a great way to start my day, a cup of coffee and this news!!! Bring your balloon supply to band camp... you just might be able to sign up some new customers!!!
