Datawarehouse Designer Jobs

Posted under Piggy Bank

I’m so glad that the Datawarehouse Designer Jobs, is my last work entry that I have to do today. It’s not that I don’t like my work, in fact I love it!! It’s just that I’ve been working for the past 2 1/2 hours, and I’m ready to be done. I have several other things to take care of today, and a busy week ahead, so I’m glad I’m done for the day.

KMC Wheels

Posted under Piggy Bank

I have no idea what kmc wheels are, or what they are used for. So I’m off to do a quick internet search, and find out what they are. Okay, so they are nothing that I’m interested in. *LOL* I have no interest in custom wheels and rims. I’m doing good to have a running vehicle, and need to save all the money I can for repairs, or a new vehicle, not spend money of fancy things like that.

Cats, Cats, and More Cats.

Posted under Family News

In the last year I’ve gone from 2 cats to 8….Don’t ask me how this has happened, because I just don’t know really. I love cats, but I said 4 was my limit, and then I said 6 was my limit, and now, well, now I have 8….It’s ridiculous I know, but I really can’t see parting with any of them.

My original 2 are Orangey and Yeti. They are brother and sister, that I got when they were young kittens. Orangey broke his leg as a kitten, and Yeti was born with a hip problem, but she has pretty much out-grown the problem. I’ve had them for about 5 years now, and well, they will live out their lives with me.

Next came Sam and Kit Kat. These were kittens that the girls picked out. I don’t have any real attachment to these cats, as their personalities just didn’t click with me. However they are decent cats who generally mind their manners, and I don’t want to give the girls the idea that it’s okay to get an animal when it’s cute and cuddly, and then get rid of it when it grows up.

Next came Shadow and Sissy. They were manx cats that I adopted from a shelter. They had been their quite a long time, because they were about 7 years old. Sissy was only able to live here acouple of months, because she died of liver disease. I am happy to know that the last months of her life were filled with love and care, it makes her passing a bit easier on my heart. Shadow is still here, the love of my kitty kingdom. *LOL*

Next came Tai Chi. A 9 month old orange manx when he came to me. The owners didn’t want him anymore, and were going to take him to a shelter.

Next came Gimpy. I saw a poster of him at my Vet center. He has deformed front legs. He is about a year old now. I’ve only had him for about a month. The owners were moving and desperately trying to find him a good home. No one else wanted him, because of his disability….So home he came…..

Now our latest addition of Malfoy came to us only a few days ago. The girls found him outside stuck in a fence. Flea infested and starving. What could we do?? *LOL* He now lives a quiet and comfortable life with us. He is a sweet, loveable boy. Only a few months old. He will be taking a trip to the Vet next week or perhaps the week after to be neutered.

And that my friends is my big happy cat family. No more please!!!

I Pod Touch

Posted under Piggy Bank

Why is everything going to touch screens? We have the i pod touch, lots of different cell phones, cash registars, and even home computers.

I worked with the touch-screen cash registars when I was a waitress and loved them. It made putting in orders so simple and easy, as well as not effecting the ease of ringing up someone. However I don’t think I would feel the same about a touch-screen home computer, or even one of the touch-screen phones.

Exam Tables

Posted under Piggy Bank

I’ve often wondered why exam tables have to be so cold and uncomfortable. Although I think they are better than the gurney’s in the Emergency Department.

Yes, I wonder about random things. Things that most don’t have any interest in. I’ve often wondered why I do wonder about such odd things, but have since discovered that it’s just a part of who I am.

Aeropostale Coupons

Posted under Piggy Bank

Now who has ever heard of aeropostale coupons?? I surely hadn’t, but a quick internet search, or for you all, a simple click on the link, will give you all the information that you need.

That’s what I really love about the internet, any type of information right at my fingertips. I’ve often wished that I could live back in the Old West days, but I do have to admit that I would miss the internet!!
