I just want you to know that dogs do know how to spell and read so please don't be so patronizing next time.

Tsar, babe, I am a particular person who doesn't like dressed up dogs.
I know we differ on this.
It's almost like I'm Peta, with no group... (I'm not a Peta person)

This is not against you, bubule.

sweet, tsar... I'm having a bit of a problem getting my CA credentialing in - so, not working - and it feels really terrible. I've been busying myself trying to pull the new apt together - painting and such...and I'm just hitting snags with everything. Life on snag. I know everything will straighten out - I just have to be patient. Currently running quite low on said patience. But, thank you for kind thoughts.

California = grrrr

Lash, love.

Hang in, with or without the guy.

Talk to me.
