Poor Kramer

Last night Kramer came into the office when we got home and let out a weird moan ... then went under David's desk and laid on his back moaning ... his eyes rolling back in his head and he kept lifting his leg up ... he obviously didn't feel good ...


we took him to the emergency hospital and it turns out his bladder was swollen the size of an orange and he couldn't pee ... poor thing ... he had to stay in the hospital overnight ...


we went early this morning and picked him up and took him to his regular vet ... they are going to be watching him throughout the day to make sure he is ok ...


It sure is lonely around here without him ... I think David and I both miss him ... last night David started to look for him before going to bed and was sad all over again ... hopefully he will be coming home tonight ... :)

Feedback on eBay

I have been using eBay for 5 years now ... and I've come to a decision ... conclusion ... whatever you want to call it ... I think that a seller should leave feedback as soon as you pay for your transaction ... because that is what they are evaluating ... how easy the payment transaction went ... how quickly you paid ... and how good your communication was ...


like me ... I pay within 2 minutes of the auction ending ... I am always watching/bidding at the end ... as soon as it says I am the winner I pay ... they should leave feedback on that right then ...


Once I get the product I leave feedback on that ... but all the sellers out there wait to leave feedback until after you rate them ... doesn't seem right ... I could pay in full within 2 minutes and get a terrible product in the mail ... if I leave negative feedback then they will retaliate and do the same even though my part of the transaction was perfect ...


it has happened once to me ages ago ... someone sent me a broken camera ... when I told him it arrived broken he told me I could send it back and he would send me a replacement ... when he got it he said I was the one that destroyed it and then left me negative feedback ... even though he had all my money and I paid right away ... and now he had the broken camera too ...


I think I am going to try and start something so that a seller has to leave feedback as soon as the buyer pays ... maybe I can get something to happen ...

My New Blog

My New Blog


Well I've changed the name of my blog and somewhat started over ... all the past posts are still there but I just needed a fresh start ... I sent an email to a bunch of people from my blogger address which I didn't mean to do cause I really don't like my friends and family knowing about my blog ... I can't speak too freely when I know they could be reading it ... and I know that most of the regulars that read my blog are hardcore liberals and I am a Republican ... it was just making me uncomfortable ... so it was time for a whole new place for me ... :)

Awesome Game

We had the greatest time today at the Yankees game ... [technically it was an Orioles Game but not for us] ... there were so many Yankees fans there it was awesome ... and it was the first time I've been to a game where I was rooting for the visiting team ... I didn't realize how crappy the home team is to the visitors ... nothing flashes on the screen for them ... no "nice catch" or "let's go" ... and I noticed they flash something on the screen for O's fans to start cheering but Yankee fans do it all on their own ... the stadium was shaking from the "Let's go Yankees ... clap clap clapclapclap" ... it was fantastic ... and to top it all off the Yankees went into the 9th inning tied 7 to 7 and their first two batters knocked it out of the park ... in the bottom of the 9th the Orioles didn't score anything ...


on the way to the car we saw a kid with the best shirt on ... it said, "I root for two teams, The Orioles and whomever beats the Yankees" ... well today his shirt was a big dud ... but it did bring a smile to our face ... and I kinda chased him down to take a picture ...


it was a fabulous Sunday and I am so glad David, my dad and I got to spend the day at the game ... :)

Yankees Game Today

Today we are going to an afternoon Yankees game ... technically it is an Orioles game and they are playing the Yankees but we are going to see the Yankees play ... David has been so excited for months now ... I am surprised he was even able to sleep last night ... couple hours and we'll be on our way ... :)

Live Strong??

Live Strong??


What to do?? Today someone gave me those yellow rubber wrist bands that say "LIVESTRONG" ... I see everyone wearing them lately and to be honest I don't like them ... I really don't like Lance Armstrong who started the whole thing ... so I don't want to be associated with him by wearing the bracelet ... but I think it is so nice of my friend to give it to me that I don't want to hurt her feelings ... I am just not sure what to say or how to go about it ...

Ellie's first babysitter

This weekend was great ... Saturday night David and I went to my brother's house to babysit for Ellie ... we were her first babysitters and we had a great time ... she is just a doll and made me even more excited to become a mother ... whenever that happens ... but I am quite excited ...


Then on Sunday we were totally unproductive so I figured that meant we should go out to dinner so we went to some Greek restaurant with Jenny, Jason and Ellie and had a great time ... I tried some different food ... big deal for me and we got to get out of the house and have some nice conversation ...


Monday ... clean ... clean ... clean ... I spent the day cleaning my desk ... fun stuff I tell you ... but I wasn't up for too much more ... I went to the butcher dentist on Thursday ... and he fucked up one of my teeth ... turns out they don't work on Friday so I went all weekend with a messed up tooth ... so I'll be seeing him again during the week ... that is for sure ... :)

Register to Vote

Today I sent in the forms for David and I so we could vote in the 2004 Presidential Election ... I'm so excited ... for a while there we both always voted ... then we moved so much that it got hard to keep up with ... but this year the vote feels particularly important and we are going to be there first thing to cast our ballot ...
