Here I come

~E~

I now have high-speed internet so I should be posting more fascinating snippets of my life. With my old dial-up connection, these pages either took minutes to load or didn't load at all. Thanks to Al for helping me out with the setup!

Here's a cool henna tattoo I got recently. I was very impressed with it!

Nice tattoo!

I'm pretty sure I would die of net dehydration if I only had dialup internet. Although I do miss that awesome connecting sound, being able to load stuff in seconds instead of minutes is pretty sweet.

Hope you enjoy your new 'net freedom.

Tonight I'll be off to my favourite "toy store" to pick up a wireless router to add to the fun. :)z

Aw, I'm picturing Russell after the loss of his high-speed service...gaunt, parched, clutching the mouse in his trembling hands...

And Al, I am enjoying my new net freedom. :)

Naomi, the tattoo lasted about a week and a half, and then it just disappeared. That's the kind of tattoo I can live with.

The war on women

~E~ You know, it's often these little things that go unnoticed that snowball into making life dangerous for certain groups of people. In this case, it's women. Apparently some doctors in Canada are refusing to provide pap smears to unmarried women, presumably because if you aren't married, you should not be having sex, and so would not contract a sexually transmitted disease which might ultimately lead to cervical cancer. Ergo, if you ARE having sex, you deserve to die (if you are female; no word on if unmarried men are denied testing and treatment for STDs). You must suffer the consequences, much like the belief that if you have sex, you should not be allowed birth control or abortion because everyone has to pay the price for HER behavior - pregnancy. (link) I contacted Peggy to learn more about what was going on with the doctors refusing to perform pap smears and she responded by saying that in one case it is actually the doctor's receptionist who won't allow he...

Red Haired Mary

Red Haired Mary is my mom. I couldn't have asked for a better one, frankly. I like to call her momster. She was always the most comforting person in my life, even when she was too frazzled to protect me from the torture my sister inflicted on me. I clearly remember her hollering from the other room for us to knock it off!! as though I was equally responsible for being pinned down and tickled. She took me to my first and only Badger football game, and I think she was thrilled that we had a day together filled with such excitement. We snuggled on the couch under blankets together in those cold dark f-f-freezing days of winter. My first clear memory of her -- I'm five years old. She's sitting on a chair where I try to squeeze in next to her. She says, in a strained voice, "No, honey, you can't sit with me right now." Then my dad took her to the hospital where she birthed my little brother. I suppose labor pains are as good an excuse as any to have your chair t...

Bad Dear Abby

~E~ Shorter Dear Abby: You must totally squelch your inner self to get a man. DEAR ABBY: I haven't had a boyfriend for a while now, and I'm not sure why. Everyone says I'm cool, funny and outgoing. I play video games, sports, and do things that boys think girls would never do (like paintballing in the woods or bungee jumping over and over again).All my guy friends think I'm awesome, and I do get compliments on my looks as well. I'm not a tomboy, I wear nice clothes and some makeup, but for some reason, wwhenever I get a crush on a guy, he says it would be "weird" because I'm a "really good friend." What am I doing wrong? I love who I am and so do boys. So why don't they think I could be "girlfriend material"? -- BOYFRIENDLESS IN CONNECTICUT DEAR BOYFRIENDLESS: It may be that "guys" see you as one of them. And because of it, they don't consider you in a romantic way. Therefore, it's time to emphasize your femin...
