So with a nickname like Veggie you should give Plants vs Zombies a try. It's a very addictive but cute little game available for under 10 bucks.

I'm sorry that your personal circumstances are not better. Enjoy life as best you can. Try to have fun when you can especially find things to laugh about. Like one of my favorite jokes:

A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon. Four worms were placed into four separate jars. The first worm was put into a container of alcohol. The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke. The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup. The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil. At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:

The first worm in alcohol: dead.
The second worm in cigarette smoke: dead.
Third worm in chocolate syrup: dead.
Fourth worm in good clean soil: alive.
So the Minister asked the congregation, “What did you learn from this demonstration?”
Betty Lou was sitting in the back and quickly raised her hand and said, “As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!” That pretty much ended the service.


What am I doing? Well, I got laid off a year ago and decided I had enough savings and personal investment income to be able to retire. It is going well. I am happier than I have ever been. I read, play games, browse the web and watch anime. Nerd paradise.

I hope you can come back by from time to time. Check out the MNAs, discuss issues of the day and shows. I recommend
everything USA produces. Burn Notice just started its winter season. Covert Affairs is winding down to its winter finale. Royal Pains has a special wedding coming up.
As far as genre shows, I like Vampire Diaries, Lost Girl, and Warehouse 13. Only Vampire Diaries is on right now, though. The other two will be back in January or February I believe.

squeeeee!!! veggie, my dear friend. I'm so saddened by Mr. veggie's health issues. You know he now holds the number one spot on my prayer list. But, I'm so glad to know you are around again. I've missed you something fierce.

I second Lewis H about USA. Their programming is fabulous. No replacement for Angel as yet, but several hours of entertainment.

The only thing that is different about my life is where I live. We were victims of a massive forest fire in the Lost Pines of Texas. Our home and land burned not once, but twice. We rescued our dog, lost our kitty, but lost no family members. If you want to know more, let me know and I'll shoot you my email.

Please have a quiet Thanksgiving. We aren't having a celebration at our new home this year. Christmas will be the biggie with all the children except our Marine grandson in attendance. Oh, and I now have a pacemaker. Her name is Emma. I'm not fond of the term pacemaker, but am euphoric about how much better I feel since her installation. Thank you for checking in with us. I'm happier this minute than I have been in years. Hugs and kisses.

Salty, what an amazing tower of strength you are! Losing your home and pet - that must have been heartbreaking. Definately drop me an email, I would love to stay in closer touch. You named your pacemaker? That makes me chuckle, that is so "you". You have such a great sense of humor, and I'm glad you're feeling better.

Lewis, congrats on retiring : )

Kim, rock on with your writing success! That is awesome. Do you have a website for your books? I'll check it out.

Caroline, thanks for the good wishes. Mr. Veggie and I have good days and bad days, but it's getting better every day as we learn how to adjust. We're very optimistic about his recovery.
