Rant- I work in a department that spends more time writing vision and mission statements than they do practicing them. We've been writing them for weeks now.

Rant: Had to bury a friend on Mother's Day in California.

Rave: As strange as this sounds, the wake was wonderful. Even his widow got up to dance. As the Irish bandleader said, &quot;You know you've celebrated the passing right, when the widow gets up to dance.&quot;

Just want to say congrats on your results, jor! I've been there recently myself with much head pain, traveling to the US to get tests done, and know the relief that you feel when all is well. I agree with OO, party at jor's house tonight! ;) Great news for you!

Rant- Just came back from my last PTA luncheon at my kids' school. After 13 years, I hate to leave the wonderful parents and staff behind.

Rave: the school will still be there. I just won't have any kids attending. And I have some really wonderful friends from all the committees, field trips, carnival work and other activities.

Rave: Still 3 more weeks till graduation, and I get to be with the kids at the after grad party that night!

RAVE: Today is the best day I've had in 18 months. I got my labs back. When I moved circumstances were such that I could not take my big dogs. I'm now living in a perfect place for big dogs and they came &quot;home&quot; today! I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have that big hole in the heart filled again.

No room for Rants today (even though I did have a flat tire in the middle of busy traffic with two wired labs in the car. Even that experience turned out great!

Love and sloppy kisses from two happy labs...make that three...it appears the neighbor's dog has moved in too! :-)

RANT: POLLUTION

Hi Starsville :) Hugs to you.

Scarlett May 13th, 2005 06:38 PM

Just found out that there is an Equine Influenza virus ( horse flu) that has &quot;jumped&quot; across species to greyhounds..here in Fl, dogs are dying.
Tomorrow we will have to be sure that Pup is not in any danger .. it is a cross species jumping flu ( sort of like the Avian thing that people are getting in Asia)...very worrisome.

Starrsville, ((L)) smooches ((L))
