is this a usual kentuchy winter? do u get snowed in each year?

No.  The two storms we got hit with were the two worst storms (as far as power outages) in the history of the state. We got more snow this year than in the past 4 or 5 years combined.  I'm sure it's nothing compared to what Walt and Kaley have to deal with, but I'm definitely ready for Spring!

The open MRI's are not too bad.

this is trivial and silly, but...

i really want a westie of my own. before moving to AL, i took care of my sister's westie while she was at college. i miss that dog so much, and i want a westie of my own. like, i really, really, REALLY want one. but i would feel guilty buying a purebred puppy when there are so many others that need a good home. also, i work long hours, and i would feel guilty leaving any dog alone that much.

i'm just not at a place in my life where i would be the kind of owner a dog deserves. i'm always busy; my house is small... but man, i really want a westie.



i guess i'm just missing sammy (my sis' dog) these days. isn't it strange how close you can get to a pet?

[ALady]

I hear ya, meg.  I walked through our local humane society the other day and it was like torture...I wanted to take all the puppies home with me!  But I know I'm not settled enough to be a good dog owner right now.

When you're ready, though - maybe try Westie rescue?

As I believe PennyLane said in some other thread...LOVE STINKS!!!!  I feel like I lost the love of my life.  I mean she's not necessarily gone for good, but she's at least gone for now and she might be gone for good, so that's bad enough.  And why do I take break-ups so hard?  I'm a dude.  I'm not supposed to care.  I'm just supposed to go find some other girl and not give a shit, right?  I know this isn't true but it's the common perception anyway.  I've been in the same pattern for years.  I have no problem getting a girlfriend, but I can't keep a girl's interest for more than a year.  It sucks.  I guess I could look on the bright side and say that none of them were meant to be, but F*** that, I'm gonna be a sad bastard for awhile.  Or at least drink a lot  ;D :'(

I returned from camping at the beach to find out that yesterday Victoria errupted in the worst bushfires in it's history. So far 50 people have died (many in their cars, trying to escape the flames).

My parents live in the bush, thankfully they're out of harms way (thus far) however my brother's girlfriends grandparents lost their home... it's horrifying.

The pictures are hard to believe... and the fires are still burning all over the state. Bloody scary.

I've been trying to keep up with this all day. I thought the count was up to 30 people. This is so awful. Are you anywhere near the fires?
My thoughts are with you.

Unfortunately the death toll is now confirmed as being 65 people.

I live in Melbourne, so I'm completely safe. It's really hard to watch it all unfold from the city though.

I used to work in the Emergency Services, and this is no doubt the worst disaster they would have ever had to deal with (at least since Ash Wednesday). Here's hoping everyone gets out safely.

100+ dead now on BBC World this morning. I just learned that some of the fires were started/re-started on purpose?! Horrifying!!
Thinking of you all in Oz, please take care!

Yipes, Beebif, that's terrifying.  Hope that you and yours are safe...please keep us posted!

good lord, that's awful. you aussies stay safe, eh?

my current complaint is the need to possess a degree. i almost went ahead and withdrew from this semester this morning. been thinking about it a LOT lately, so that I can just go ahead and work all i need to without worrying at all about school. i'm pretty tired of cranking out academic bullshit about topics I'm not interested enough in to write papers about. God, if I could just finish out my year with courses in The New York School or Modernist poetry, or Futurism or anything 20th century I'd be stoked as shit. The Graphic Novels course I'm in is cool, but I'm currently procrastinating on writing a paper about Hothead Paizan: Homicidal Lesbian Terrorist. And as intriguing as it sounds, my creativity bone has pretty much atrophied in the last few months. Senioritis indeed. I feel like I'm redefining the concept right now.

Dude, just get the paper. You will not regret it...

actually wound up dropping a couple courses this afternoon to lighten my workload, this being one of them. I'll graduate a semester later, but I won't be taking four English courses at a time to get finished. Upper level English will really take it out of a guy, and I figure I can better focus on a smaller number of courses at a time, so why not just take an extra four months to graduate well, rather than graduating quickly. Plus, dropping this course gives me the ability to not only take a creative writing course this may, but I get to take that course with my favorite professor, so I'm pretty jazzed about that. Wait a minute, this is turning into a current joy...

My boyfriend's mate from school is missing in the Kinglake area. They think he may have gone away that weekend, but no one has heard from him or can get into contact with him.

Shit. This is a nightmare.
