the ‘net is a wonderful place to make friends. Long distance friends, never met friends, perhaps, but friends nonetheless.

it is sad to bid some of them goodbye when they go - especially if they leave without saying goodbye. Faith is one whose page just disappeared on me. Tina has closed her doors and so has Jill. Ali left awhile back. Of these, Ali is the only one I’ve been privileged enough to meet.

Kitty threatens all the time that she is going to stop writing.

this sucks you guys - I want to say COME BACK . . . and yet I understand. Life gets in the way - things come up (and sometimes that’s a good thing). Life happens and so do we.

I do have snail mail addresses for you (yes, I am hoping that you still stop by from time to time to see what the moose and family are doing and so will see this note). And, yes, I know that it is sometimes pretty lean pickins from here, too.

But even when the times are rough - maybe especially when they are rough - and I find it a bit harder to write, well, I find that I still need to write - and to read. So I am thankful for those of you who are still around.

this big old internet world is changing quickly around us. But I still think of all of you as friends.

See you around, ladies. Take care of yourselves, now, y’hear? And, when you come back (because they always do, you know), drop me a note or comment here and let me know where to find you, okay?

out of the mouths of . . . .

“mom, she gots a big butt!”

embarrassed mother shushing child telling the four year old that she shouldn’t say such things and that I am owed an apology.

interesting mostly because the mama, while shorter than I am, is actually a bit bigger.

gotta love kids and their perspective. I am not the love of her life so of course I “gots a big butt.” (poor baby - I hope her mama doesn’t make her apologize for simply telling the truth as she sees it. On the other hand, rudeness should be apologized for. I will wait and see what happens.)

I am STILL acting as receptionist. Sigh. The position closes on Friday. Hopefully there will be enough resumes submitted to garner a couple of good interviewees and hopefully those will garner one very good person to train. So - who out there wants to move to Alaska? Hmmmm? The scenery is gawjus and the fishing is spectacular and the people are above nice (’cept maybe the very honest four year olds around here - heh).

It pays $11.08 to start with bennies like health insurance and the accrual of sick leave and annual leave. And, the MOOSIE would get to train you! Come on, you know you wanna.

email me or comment and I will send you the address of the job description. I’m serious, dagnabbit!?
