evile: It's not raining right at the moment, but it's not very pretty
out. Would you prefer to postpone lunch outdoors to a better day?
evile: well, foo...maybe you are on your way to the capitol. I guess
I'll head that way....
SkyeDS: [Auto Response] I am currently away from the computer.
SkyeDS: that was nice even with the rain :)
evile: Yeah. I like it a little warmer, but it was OK
SkyeDS: aye, twas a trifle cool
evile: More layers or a harder walk would warm ya up, I guess. :)
SkyeDS: I was warm when I was walking
evile: yeah.
evile: Excalibur's going to be a mud pit. Hopefully I can get out
there at some point, just not this weekend.
SkyeDS: not fond of mud unless it's Raji's feet and not mine
evile: Even that can't be too much fun to clean up :)
SkyeDS: garden hose
evile: true.
evile: boss hovering. urgh.
SkyeDS: no worries, slow anyway
evile: I meant to tell you about the show/reading I went to last
night. Terriblelynne. was in a writers workshop & last night was
their 'recital' I guess. It was very cool.
SkyeDS: terri seems to do many very cool things with her writing
SkyeDS: all t he books I want to write have already been written,
better than I would have written them
evile: She's very talented & brave. especially brave.
evile: A lot of writers draw on mythology, fairy tales, etc, and just
put their own spin on it. I don't think there will ever be "the last
Arthurian legend" book. Someone else will come along & find a new and
interesting way to re-tell it.
SkyeDS: I've thought about a tarot book, an astrology book, and a
horse book, and there are many books on each subject that are better
than I would have done anyway.
SkyeDS: I still need to reply to that email from Iceland
evile: That's so interesting that you got a question from so far
away :)
SkyeDS: I'm going to give her my recommended reading list if she
wants to do it herself. Or suggest that if she really thinks it's
worth the investment, to send them Stateside, where someone like
myself who both trains and boards would be happy to provide both
services to her
SkyeDS: and I'm dying to see a tolt too
evile: I got a book on gaited horses, and even though it was a nice
book, I had no idea what any of the gaits look like or feel like at
the end. Somethings you just have to experience.
SkyeDS: the Peruvian gait is lateral, Jesse's isn't
SkyeDS: it rides very differently
SkyeDS: the Texas Ladies Aside group, that rode the Peruvians in the
parade side saddle, is doing a two day clinic for $200
SkyeDS: /me thinks that's a wee bit steep even if they are loaning
horses and saddles
evile: WOW.
evile: it was such a cheezy movie, but I loved the part in Tomb
Raider 2 when Lara was riding & shooting. I think it was
sidesaddle...been a while.
SkyeDS: I will probably do some research into the peruvian gait
SkyeDS: Randy wants me to explain it to him and I can't
SkyeDS: I mean I can explain the difference between a gaited and a
not gaited horse
SkyeDS: but each Gaited horse has a different trademark gait
SkyeDS: so Jesse's is not the same as a Tennesee Walker's, which
isn't the same as the rare Appaloosa Gait, which is not the same as
the Missouri FoxTrotter
evile: I think it would be quite a challenge to explain. I think it's
just something you have to see & feel yourself.
SkyeDS: which is not the same as the Peruvian's, which is not the
same as the Fino's, although they both originated from the same stock
SkyeDS: you have to either be looking at it or be on top of it
evile: yup.
SkyeDS: and on top of it, you can tell the difference in feel but not
in look.
SkyeDS: what I do know about the Paso gait (both of them) is that
they're both laterally gaited, and the gait would allow you to carry
a glass of water at a running trot without it spilling
SkyeDS: and I rode it, and it's way cool
evile: wow
SkyeDS: and Strider is the prettiest boy
SkyeDS: he's what is technically called a blue roan but he's
basically chocolate bay shot through with white
evile: pretty
SkyeDS: so he's a dark horse and just as pretty and flashy as he can
possibly be
evile: Sounds like they got a good one.
SkyeDS: he was well hidden among many rhinestones
SkyeDS: higher priced rhinestones too
evile: heh.
SkyeDS: and that used car horse sales woman did her best to distract
me too
SkyeDS: or distract them rather in hopes that they would distract me
SkyeDS: Karen thinks highly of her because they "rescue" horses
SkyeDS: but to them it's a business
SkyeDS: they only do it to make money
SkyeDS: you don't make money when you're truly rescuing
evile: no
SkyeDS: but I don't think it's important enough to debate w/ Karen so
I just don't say anything
evile: OTOH, a stiff adoption fee will hopefully keep the animal from
falling into another bad situation. You assume that if they can
afford hte fee, they can afford the upkeep of the animal
SkyeDS: just seems to me that she thinks that this woman is the same
caliber as the Lone Star Equine Rescue
SkyeDS: whose site you should check out
SkyeDS: and she isn't
evile: I have sent LSER $ in the past. But that's as far as I've gone.
SkyeDS: somebody who is truly rescuing would, for example, want
pictures of the place the animal is intended to be kept
SkyeDS: if not to visit it personally
SkyeDS: she had one animal there that I could tell was "rescued" and
she wanted to sell him for $500
SkyeDS: and she just didn't....she was trying to sell a horse, not
find a rescue horse a good home
evile: that's too bad.
SkyeDS: he was WAY underweight, had SERIOUS abuse problems
SkyeDS: now, maybe because I was there, she thought that I was
knowledgeable and would instruct them
SkyeDS: but I never once mentioned that we rescued Jesse
evile: nope
SkyeDS: so she had no reason to assume anything about my level of
knowledge, I don't care if I was introduced by someone else as a
trainer
evile: right
SkyeDS: Randy said he had talked to the husband before, and it seemed
to be the husband's business, and so maybe the woman was just trying
to attend to business and sound more knowledgeable than she was
evile: could be.
SkyeDS: but my impression remains that she had the personality of a
used car salesman
SkyeDS: and it was funny, I said, I need a round pen, do you have
one, and she says, yes but it has a horse in it
SkyeDS: ...well do you think you could move the horse just for a
moment?
evile: heh
SkyeDS: and I take him in, and she says, do you need rope or a
whip? ...no thanks
SkyeDS: and then when I was satisfied as to what I was looking for, I
told Randy to bring Princess in and put her on him bareback
SkyeDS: and she's all "that horse has never had a child on his back,
that horse has never had ANYONE bareback, don't you even want a
bridle???"
SkyeDS: and Princess got on him and rode him around just as pretty as
you please, bareback and with halter and lead rope.
evile: cool
SkyeDS: Randy has more faith in me than I have in myself sometimes I
think
evile: it's good to know people like that.
SkyeDS: but I know he knows that I wouldn't put her up there if I
didn't think it were safe, and if it weren't safe I'd throw myself to
t he ground beneath her
evile: yup
SkyeDS: besides, if she can't ride him in a small contained
controlled space like a round pen bareback, then she doesn't need to
be on him in a saddle anywhere else.
evile: true
SkyeDS: he's huge bodied but short and he puts that massive mighty
neck and small refined head down and follows her around with this pet
dog I love you expression
SkyeDS: and he'd rather be loved on than eat
evile: aww!
SkyeDS: but sonar0m says that every time so far I work with a horse
that the owners stand around asking first Randy and then him, what's
she doin? why's she doin that fer?
evile: See that would be me, but at least I realize I'm too ignorant
and dog-ass stupid to have a horse.
evile: Part of being 'smart' is being smart enough to know you're too
stupid to do something right.
evile: I would never inflict myself on an innocent animal of whom I
was mostly ignorant. I know how to take care of cats & dogs, and when
to go to the vet, etc. With a horse, I'd have no clue and the animal
would suffer for my ignorance.I would never do that to an animal.
SkyeDS: you are intuitive enough to be taught
SkyeDS: and you know you need to be
SkyeDS: some people are "counter intuitive" when it comes to horses
(and birds and probably other species if it came down to it)
evile: When I took that 1 day 'horse heaven' class I learned a lot.
Mostly that I was stupid.
evile: And that a lot of gestures I'd interpet as 'sweet' lovey stuff
are actually horse-herd dominance gestures.
evile: So before I'd even gotten into the saddle, I'd basically told
the horse 'you are in charge, you don't have to do a damn thing I say'
evile: Maybe when Sweetie gets his puppy I can get my mini-horse :)
evile: yup. Sidesaddle.

SkyeDS: [Auto Response] I am currently away from the computer.
SkyeDS: sorry, was babysitting for client, back
SkyeDS: thought I set my away :(
evile: you did.
SkyeDS: no, I mean, I thought I said something when I got up
evile: I know you're at work, no big thing if you get busy.
SkyeDS: horse heaven class sounds like f un
evile: The lady who taught it really knew her stuff as far as horses
go. Not much tact with people, but...oh well. Hurt feelings are less
important than broken bones & such
SkyeDS: I've known many horse people who didn't have people skills
SkyeDS: and one of the reasons I didn't want to train for money is,
if you can't get through with superlative people skills or whatever,
to the stupid monkeys who are fucking their horses up in tehf irst
place
SkyeDS: in such a way as to convince them to stop being stupid monkeys
SkyeDS: then it's an exercise in futility and there's no amount of
money to be m ade to pay for the heartache and aggravation
evile: That's got to be terribly frustrating. Especially for someone
who cares about animals
SkyeDS: I absolutely hated saying this, adn saying it in the
restaurant was probably a bad idea
SkyeDS: but I said to Randy, I can't figure out what
the "appropriate" time place and way to bring this up is, so here goes
SkyeDS: don't let Grandpa "teach" your horse, or your daughter
SkyeDS: they're both exceptional, and he'll just mess things up.
SkyeDS: I know he's coming from a different background and he's just
trying to help
SkyeDS: but if I don't tell you this now
SkyeDS: then in a few months you'll come to me and want to know what
the hell is wrong with that damn horse
SkyeDS: and I don't want it to go there
evile: yup. Best for all concerned dthat you say something now
rather than later.
SkyeDS: and he and Karen nodded, agreed, and said they'd already
started taking care of it
SkyeDS: I was amazed at how painless and short the conversation was
evile: good.
SkyeDS: if they were all that way, it would be a great business
SkyeDS: but it's like Hugh
SkyeDS: some of his clients listen and some don't
SkyeDS: and they pay you so you try to do what they want
SkyeDS: but you're in the business of trying to do what they need,
which is not always what they want
SkyeDS: and the clients that don't listen create all sorts of heart
burn and headache
evile: yeah. You just have to decide if they're worth the $ or not, I
guess.
SkyeDS: I know many trainers who don't even train for money anymore.
They train for free, but just for select few.
evile: wow
SkyeDS: I remember how frustrating it used to be to work for six days
on a problem t hat should never have happened (not the horse's fault)
and then watch all the work undone in six hours.
SkyeDS: it's hard to just take the money and keep your mouth shut
evile: I bet.
evile: That would be like running a day care and sending a kid with
head to toe bruises home with its parents at the end of the day.
SkyeDS: /me nods
SkyeDS: I would imagine if you made me something and told me how to
take care of it and I didn't, and I was rude, belligerent or just
plain obviously not even paying attention when you told me how to
take care of it
SkyeDS: you wouldn't make me anything ever again
evile: *shrug* probably not, but ultimately it's an inanimate thing &
isn't going to feel anything if it gets ruined. People (a LOT of them
anyway) dont' see any difference between buying a jet ski or a boat
and buying a horse.
SkyeDS: same people who buy a 30K concert grand to put doilies and
silver picture frames on
SkyeDS: I know that's inanimate but it still gets me
SkyeDS: but not as much as it would if said piano were a large
psittacine or a horse, no
evile: sure. But the piano has no feelings. it's sad to see people
doing stupid wasteful things...but it's not abuse to throw a doily on
a piano and let it gather dust.
SkyeDS: people with dollars but no sense (cents) have no business
with large dogs, horses or even little birds, much less medium to
large psittacines (toos, macaws, grays, amazons)
SkyeDS: but nothing you can do to stop them
SkyeDS: and I heard on the radio today about some woman who thought
she was rescuing someone's dog
SkyeDS: so she trespassed on their land
evile: Whereas it *is* abuse, I think, to buy an animal with no
knowledge of how to take care of it, what it needs, and then neglect
it or abuse it. Unfo, the animal has to be pretty far gone before
authorities will step in.
SkyeDS: and the dog didn't need rescuing
SkyeDS: and whatever she fed the dog that she thought was starving
sent him to the vet several times
evile: good lord
SkyeDS: so there's a fine balance in there
SkyeDS: the SPCA won't step in until it's way far gone
SkyeDS: but then I don't think people should be able to trespass any
old time they think you're doing something wrong
SkyeDS: the dog in question was a rat terrier and was perfect weight
for his breed.
SkyeDS: I don't think people should be able to trespass (that would
become a burglar's favorite excuse) but I still think the spca should
intervene before they do in most cases.
evile: Some problems are best solved by going directly to the
source. "Neighbor, I saw your dog outside and it was 17 degrees last
night. Don't you think you should bring him in at night?"
SkyeDS: you know, I don't think people would get mad if you honestly
saved their dog, or their child, from harm in the yard
SkyeDS: like the house is on fire
SkyeDS: the child is hanging himself from a tree accidentally
evile: "Neighbor, your animals keep going through the fence and
eating my landscaping. Can we fix this?"...and then escalate if the
neighbor seems inclined to keep the problem going
SkyeDS: or dog or child has misplaced a body part
evile: Personally, I'd let the brat hang. Save the animal, forget
about the kiddo :P
SkyeDS: I mean, I would be grateful if there was an honest emergency
and Connie saved my horses (or my child if I had one)
SkyeDS: but then I know Connie and I trust her judgment
evile: yeah.
SkyeDS: she isn't going to trespass and do something harmful in the
interest of trying to do good
SkyeDS: but if someone I wasn't close to and whose judgment I didn't
trust came into my yard "because the horses look thin"
SkyeDS: course...I run a business now, could be a client
SkyeDS: but you know, if I see someone out with the horses that
doesn't knock on the door first or when I'm not home or whatever
evile: yeah.
SkyeDS: can you imagine if Sweetie caught someone in the yard because
they thought he wasn't taking good care of Nikki.
SkyeDS: I understand that minis can be kept in the house and
housetrained at least as well as most dogs.
evile: yup
SkyeDS: I can't imagine but it would be way cool
evile: I think so.
evile: Next time I have 4-10K just sitting around.
SkyeDS: I don't suppose having a mini would be the same as having a
puppy in Sweetie's perspective
evile: Nope.
evile: I wish the Expo center was better about publicizing their
events.
SkyeDS: a large group of us in rockdale are trying to convince the
city that we'd make more money if we ran teh fair park like the expo
center
SkyeDS: instead of just using it for non profit eventws
evile: absolutely. But they'd need at least 1 FT person to organize &
keep things going.
SkyeDS: it would be worth it
evile: yeah.
SkyeDS: depending on how much they paid, I'd do it.
SkyeDS: if they paid me enough that I didn't have to drive to Austin
to work, I'd have to take the offer to Hugh and say, well, what do
you think? It pays my bills and I don't have to drive.
SkyeDS: (and if he upped the money, then I would consider turning it
down, but that's tangential)
evile: yeah.
SkyeDS: is what Linda (my predecessor) did, moved, found somewhere
else to work (another attorney)
evile: It happens.
SkyeDS: all the talk about how to fix Rockdale has been about taxes
evile: republicans?
SkyeDS: hello, get people to come spend money in rockdale
SkyeDS: that's what it's really all about
SkyeDS: Milam County is Democratic
evile: heh.
evile: There are a lot of mini horse farms in TX. I may take Sweetie out
to see some. See if he'd like them if he sees them up close. Which
made me wish the Expo center would post their schedule. the mini
auction was this time of year last time I stumbled across it.
SkyeDS: I did not go to horse things at the expo center like I should
have when I lived there
evile: They *never* publicized them.
SkyeDS: I think they do on the travis county channel if you have cable
SkyeDS: and pay attention to the local channels
evile: no cable.
SkyeDS: I know.
evile: I wrote to their webmaster & suggested they put a calendar on
the website. no response.
SkyeDS: but that's the only place I ever saw or heard them post what
goes on out there.
SkyeDS: I want to join Tetra when I have the money (texas trail ride
association)
evile: Sometimes there are paper notices up at the actual barn. But
you have to drive up, look for notices, write down info, and come
back for the event.
SkyeDS: lot of effort
evile: yup
evile: all to find out about something that may or may not be of
interest.
evile: The rodeo is in town from the 13th-28th(?) ish I think.
evile: Tom' s never been
SkyeDS: I don't care as much about the rodeo but I enjoy the fair
SkyeDS: although it's so expensive now the rides are it's just as
cheap to go to an amusement park
evile: true.
evile: safer too
SkyeDS: I like to watch the horses work the cows but that's not
itneresting to everyone
evile: true.
evile: mid-level boss hovering about. feh
evile: I haven't been in trouble at work in a while. It's starting
to make me nervous
SkyeDS: don't hang out here with me if they're going to catch you at
it :(
evile: naw, my boss is gone for the day
evile: maybe they finally wised up and realized that I do best when
left alone to manage my own tasks.
SkyeDS: Hugh doesn't give a damn so long as stuff gets done, either
SkyeDS: of course he signed a contract to that effect lol
evile: That is very cool.
SkyeDS: and I dont' know if he read it closely or not
SkyeDS: but he also signed a contract saying that he wouldn't fire me
w/o 30 days written notice
evile: he's a lawyer, you'd think that'd be second nature..
SkyeDS: of course I can't leave him w/o the same
evile: that's good, though.
evile: seems like it works in your favor, either way.
SkyeDS: we can mutually end the contract whenever
SkyeDS: but one person can't back out w/o 3 0 days written notice
evile: that really seems like a win-win.
SkyeDS: I did serious research into what the IRS tests before I wrote
it
SkyeDS: so it's solid on 20 different counts
evile: cool.
SkyeDS: and interestingly enough after he read it, he started giving
me more paralegal responsibilities
evile: heh
SkyeDS: he's making noises about letting me represent a nurse before
the nursing board all by myself
evile: ee!! I'd be nervous!
SkyeDS: /me shrugs
SkyeDS: I'm just going to do what he does
SkyeDS: play the notes the same way, sing the same words. Not like I
have to write my own music and lyrics (which I know I can't do)
evile: awesome. :) I'd never have the guts!
SkyeDS: if the nursing board is anything like the medical board, it
will be more trying of patience than anything else
SkyeDS: they behave like autistic five year old high school children
evile: Dixie Chicks and then Earth Wind & Fire. Trainwreck!!!
SkyeDS: LOL
evile: well, as long as there are procedures and whatnot, you can
just go through the steps no matter how ridiculous they seem, I guess.
SkyeDS: the medical board likes to yell, scream, insult, and put
people on review panels who know nothing about the branch of medicine
in question
SkyeDS: I can't believe the government of Texas acts that way
evile: they're people,same as everybody else.And people suck. :)
SkyeDS: we have a client who went home, was off duty, not on call,
had wine with dinner, got called back for an emergency labor when the
doctors who were responsible didn't show up
SkyeDS: she delivered the baby without a hitch
SkyeDS: and some student nurse smelled the wine and turned her in and
now she has to pay Hugh to get her out
evile: good lord
SkyeDS: we have a doctor
SkyeDS: had a patient who was 80
SkyeDS: morbidly obese
SkyeDS: knee problems
SkyeDS: hernia
SkyeDS: and diabetic
SkyeDS: refused to give herself insulin shots
SkyeDS: so he put her on the only medicine he could put her on when
she wouldn't take insulin, eat or exercise right
SkyeDS: and the hospital fucked up last time she was in there, and
she had kidney failure, and the daughter sicced the board on him.
evile: yuck.
SkyeDS: someone should either fly a 747 into the board, or drop
sodium in their plumbing
evile: I wrote to the MB when I was diagnosed with 'allergies' when I
had the damn mumps.
evile: But I feel justified in whatever ass-chewing was then
administered to the THREE doctors I tried to get to help me.
SkyeDS: /me nods
SkyeDS: I wish that my little sister had filed on Zidd when he nearly
killed her
SkyeDS: but she wouldn't file on him and wouldn't medmal suit him
SkyeDS: they chase so many of the wrong people makes me wonder if
they have time or energy to go after the real problems
evile: true.
SkyeDS: wonder what happened to the ones you filed on
evile: One retired soon after. Not sure about the other 2.
evile: the clinic they had is gone. too bad, it was conveniently
located.
SkyeDS: I have to go to promed tonight after work
SkyeDS: /me makes face
evile: Hopefully it will be a good experience.
SkyeDS: I didn't realize they hired docs who were in trouble and
couldn't work anywhere else
SkyeDS: but they've never messed me up either
SkyeDS: of course I go in there with things that would be hard to
mess up
evile: yeah
evile: who knows? maybe getting in trouble made them more careful?
SkyeDS: they could however have messed up my neck
evile: yuck
SkyeDS: I don't think they did though because I don't know what else
they could have done besides immobilize it and medicate it
SkyeDS: and I think I'd know if they messed it up
evile: hopefully.
SkyeDS: couldn't get launchcast to work on the laptop before
SkyeDS: but it's working now :)
evile: My computer at home had a problem at first, too.
SkyeDS: slow next little bit
evile: There's a message thread on one of the yahoo groups
titled "Who's the Daddy? Does it Matter? I Want a Baby." I know
better than to even look. But I'm mightily curious. Even though I
know it would just make me sick & sad to read
SkyeDS: /me raises an eyebrow
evile: yeah.
evile: I am getting over my original notion that all the polys are
godlike beings of perfect intelligence & such. I now realize there
are some jerks and assholes in the bunch. But...that message thread
title is killin' me.
SkyeDS: have you read it?
evile: No. I really don't want to.
SkyeDS: I finally read Stranger in a Strange Land
SkyeDS: which people say is about poly and wicca and anthemic for
other out of the box practices
evile: Great book. The original version, not Virginia's postmortem
money-making version.
SkyeDS: I didn't see any wicca in it
evile: The Church of All Worlds actually does exist as a result of
the novel. I don't think it follows the book exactly but it's out
there.
SkyeDS: I've heard of it, Otter and Morning Glory Zell I think
SkyeDS: they come to CMA
evile: Once I passed puberty and realized that I really truly wasn't
going to be a boy when I grow up, I stopped liking Heinlen so much.
SkyeDS: but that's not strictly Wicca I don't think?
SkyeDS: I thought they were like Unitarians
evile: unitarians with sex, I think.
SkyeDS: in public rites you mean?
evile: Oh, I have no idea. I've never been to a CAW gathering.
SkyeDS: we have sex in our rites, at a certain degree (that I'm not
supposed to know about) but not publicly
evile: *shrug*
evile: the same people who say 'wicca' and 'caw' in the same breath
are the ones who say 'witchcraft' and 'satanism'. whatever.
evile: Perhaps a better statement would be to say that Stranger in a
Strange land is a 'gateway book' to Wicca
evile: In the same way that Mists of Avalon would be.
SkyeDS: /me nods
evile: There's going to be a few pathetic fanboy/fangirl types who
take the book as 'gospel' and try to re-create it exactly. Then there
will be others who say "this sounds cool, what is there in RL that is
like this?"
SkyeDS: but some people read Mists and 21 lessons of Merlyn and think
they're druids
SkyeDS: like half Drandmir
evile: heh
SkyeDS: I have to try very hard not to say anything
evile: well, does it hurt you to have them wandering around calling
themselves whatever and talking to trees? No? leave 'em alone and
let 'em play. They'll grow out of it.
evile: I was a Mists of Avalon silly wicca wannabe. I grew out of it.
SkyeDS: I try not to get into discussions where I'm going to get
upset at a lack of research
SkyeDS: it's not worth losing friends over
evile: and, who knows? maybe they really get a connection with Spirit
from their poseur nonsense.
SkyeDS: however if you're not my friend
SkyeDS: and you make the mistake of getting in my face about it after
I've tried to extricate myself
SkyeDS: you best have done your research, gotten a box of clues and
eaten an entire box of Wheaties for breakfst
SkyeDS: because I'm going to eat your lunch and dinner for you and
then cut you off at the knees if you haven't.
evile: yup
SkyeDS: /me is reminded of a little 16 yo Wiccan who told me I wasn't
a witch because I don't live by the Wiccan rede
evile: The way I see it, it's none of m y business how anybody else
relates to god/ess. The same way it's none of my business what they
do amongst their partners behind closed doors. If it's not in my face
and not hurting me and it's making them happy, fine.
evile: And never let it be said that S/he does not have a sense of
humor. Things that start out as stupid jokes can sometimes turn into
very profound experiences.
SkyeDS: lol more weirdness. Cats, Yes, Duran Duran, Ronnie Milsap,
Monkees, Poison
evile: heh.
evile: It's about time for me to get gone. Home to start cleaning
house. oh, joy.
SkyeDS: /me hugs, travel safely
evile: You, too. good luck with the Dr. today :)
SkyeDS: I foresee being at home all weekend, maybe at the park in
round rock when the sun is out
evile: yeah, it's a 'nest' kind of weekend for me, too.
evile: *hugs* Take care. Good seeing you at lunchtime :)
SkyeDS: feel welcome to come laugh at my nest if you want to be amused
evile: heh.
SkyeDS: we should do that lots
evile: I'm up for it :) Maybe more walking if the weather's conducive.
evile: *hugs!* Have a great weekend :)
