there's a place where you can donate those things. let me see where I can find it....ah, <a href="http://www.tunerecycler.com/">here</a> :) it's a good cause.

from chasingastar :

PS - it's Pam, your comments aren't working :P

from chasingastar :

yeah, it's funny how that works. I watched a documentary on anorexia a while back and there was this ballet dancer who was not anorexic, but not eating enough calories, either. they put her on a proper diet and she actually began to lose weight. let us know what you think of the south beach website...I'm thinking of joining after I get a job.

from adamh :

Saw Jane Siberry these past two nights. My God, do you two look similar!

from lobotomybabe :

when I entered my skill set, it turns out that I'm well suited for some sort of medical career--epidemiologist was #1 but just about every other medical career was listed there. Interesting...I had plans to become a midwife at one point but had to defer that for awhile. Hmmmm....

from adamh :

The comments aren't working. I get an error on the page and it's not specific.

from adamh :

Where the heck are you? I take it you're not in Vermont?

from adamh :

It took me forever to figure out that by GOYA department you didn't mean the Spanish food products company. ::sigh::

from chasingastar :

701 entries =) you make me smile. I think you would like heather (well...maybe). she likes lush too. http://www.femmerotic.com/journal.html

from chasingastar :

wow, you and I traverse the same paths. diaryland, bush-hating, cats forum, quinndolyn/andrealand =) I bet you read heather corinna too. do you mind if I look around? and yes I will wait for permission.

from adamh :

I like Rachel Ray! I made one of her recipies and it was delicious. I like Paula Dean, too. Does that say something bad about me?

from adamh :

I have the Braun Oral-B and I like it. If the Sonicare wasn't so darned expensive, I'd think about trying it, too.

from adamh :

I really like America's Test Kitchen. That, along with "30 Minute Meals" actually shows stuff I can make. That steak sauce sounds heavenly. Did you use canned stock? If so, what'd you do with the remnants? Me, I made a Mediterranean chicken dish...browned chicken, artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes, capers, kalamata olives, regular tomatoes, a splash of lemon juice, and two anchovies and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Major yummage. 5/19/03

from adamh :

You're Jewish? Who knew? LOL! Funniest thing I've read in a while. :D *hugs* --Adam 5/6/03

from kidneygurl :

Discovered your diary today, read it all afternoon. Hope you are back soon, come visit !

from adamh :

Sending my best good vibes! --Adam, 04/05/03

from adamh :

Sorry to hear about this latest ailment, Koog. Love and hugs, Adam

from dont-know-me :

Your "Won't you be my neighbor" entry was so sweet when you talked about how you rescue cats and that you and your brother used to play the characters from the show...

from openthegate :

cute diary

from adamh :

Welcome home. I was starting to worry. --Adam, 2/14/03 10:05 p.m.

from adamh :

I can't imagine wearing make up.

from adamh :

Even if you watched the game, you would have been moved to napdom. Jeeze, how boring! --Adam, 1/27/03 9:17 p.m.

from cdenise :

Happy Birthday!!!! =D (1-20-03)

from cdenise :

I hope you feel better soon! --1/16/03 7:56pm

from herworship :

YAY! Congrats; I hope you feel better for a long, long time.

from adamh :

Welcome back, again! I'm so happy for you. --Adam, 1/10/03, 8:45 p.m.

from marn :

Amanda, you *have* to hold it together. Remember, you have all those kitties counting on you, eh.

from adamh :

Welcome back!

from adamh :

Get better soon, Koog! I'll be cheering you on. *mwah* --Adam, 11/1/02, 10:25 p.m.

from cdenise :

Yes! I hope it works out too! :) *keeps fingers crossed*

from adamh :

That's good news. I hope it works out. (10/10/02)

from cdenise :

Alright you sniper! :D You rawk!

from chinacat :

ok, so my fist mistake was wandering into the biology department and looking at the biochem course syllabus. "Michaelis-Menten." *shudder* social sciences, ellen. next time look at the *social* sciences.

from chinacat :

i know this doesn't help much, but ack! why put her to sleep? why not a shelter?

from marn :

At night when I crawl into bed Zoe comes with me and curls up under my arm, right by my heart. I fall asleep to her purring, the most indescribably soothing thing I can imagine. She's an old cat, well on the way to blind, and I know my time left with her is finite. I have a glimmer of how much you miss Lola just through how bruised my heart feels when I contemplate that there will be a time when Zoe no longer purrs me to sleep.

from chinacat :

they drive on That 70s Show, too. in the credits, even. and i think i've told you this before, but most of the supermarkets in my corner of suburbia keep their carts corraled, too. and lately, some of them have been setting theirs free as well. i wonder what's happened. was there a great outcry demanding free-range shopping carts?

from cdenise :

But they drive on "The Drew Carey Show" and "Seinfeld." :) Remember the BO ep from Seinfeld? "This isn't BO it's beyond BO, it's BBO!"[/George] And that isn't a lie - I've had BO like that in my car. I swear I was going to have to take it in for a cleaning to get that smell out like Seinfeld did! EEEWWW!!!! The BO wasn't from me. But I won't go there to say who was in my car the weekend that happened. *coughNOHO98cough*

from cdenise :

And to think that this month (if I'm not mistaken) AMC (which is still called "american movie classics" right?) is showing "Thank God, It's Friday." When did that movie become an "American Movie Classic?" Right after they did their 900th showing of "Speed" I assume. =) *sigh* "Speed" - I need that on DVD. *sigh* :) "Hello and welcome to the showing of "Speed." Please check your brains at the door and enter without using the term DOOD. For Mr. Reeves, this is a 'dood-less' film even though he is an LA-PD dood." BTW, whatever happened to Jack's muffin when he put it on top of his truck before the bus exploded at the beginning?

from adamh :

No, Charles In Charge just wasn't funny. And I like your term "house porn." I'm thinking of appropriating it.

from cdenise :

"Charles in Charge" - I remember watching it, but I can't remember laughing. Maybe it was Willie Aames' curls that blinded my laughter. ;)

from marn :

I also smooch them on the head PLUS Zoe likes to sleep with her head on my pillow so I'm guessing I have probably also inhaled a bazillion hairs by this point. I don't willingly share my food, but Lily used to steal my Cheerios religiously. The cat had real Cheerios issues.

from donnagirl :

dood. so many notes! Hey, like... can I buy your car? Or, we could trade? :D

from chinacat :

oh! and i'm hoping that the person searching for "rob thomas my band sucks" was searching for a quote by rob thomas using those words. 'cause, y'know.. that'd be pretty funny.

from chinacat :

sports bras are constricting for a reason. when you're doing actual sports, you need to be constricted, or you end up very sore. at least, i do. and when i'm running, i'm not out to impress, so i say smush them flat if you have to, just keep them in line so i can run without hurting myself. ;)

from thecritic :

I found Bob Barkers diary! Schweeeeeeeeet! Just kidding, I think it's really great that you post entries like that. I love me some animals, and if there were more then on of my dog and cat roaming around I'd get jealous. Nice diary by the wayyy

from mechaieh :

I think I have more fun *reading* about American Idol than watching it. Sitting Simon next to Paula was genius - she gives everyone points just for trying (which is more my personal style, truth to tell) and then Simon takes 'em away (which goes more with my personal philosophy. The man didn't become a star-maker by being a softie, after all).

from mechaieh :

National Mustard Month? Ooooh! I feel a splurge coming on... (Seriously! I was eyeing some Jack Daniels mustards the other day and telling myself I didn't need them, but if it's National Mustard Month...!) On a far less frivolous note, here's hoping you feel better soon.

from marn :

Yep, if they could figure out the can opener and how to change the locks, I'm almost sure the cats would throw us out of the house just so they could have the bed ALL to themselves. Bastards. That said, I love them to an extent that truly alarms me and each time one dies I mourn them as intensely as anyone else I've ever loved. Yes, I'm fully aware of how sad that preceding statement is. *Sigh*.

from chinacat :

yesterday you said this: "(Or if one is going to do a fool thing like skipping the meat, why on earth would one be at a barn-like steakhouse?)" and i reply.... now, have you EVER heard paul or me request to eat at the Golden Corral? NO. we eat at those places because that's where YOU guys want to eat. ;) i can't account for tino. how and why he is veg is a mystery to me. ;)

from chinacat :

i'm sure you know that my pets have nicknames. ;) "Spud" is, in fact, a nickname that stuck. her name's really Fionulla. Spud came about through a long series of silly food-related nicks (butterball ->nutter butter ->nutty buddy->noodle ->snickerdoodle ->spadoodle ->spud). ben liked "Spud" and kept calling her that, so it stayed. she's also "Puddy," and "Sweetheart." Marley i call whatever comes out of my mouth at the moment, and it's usually some variation on "Mr. Dog." i.e. Mr. Woofy, Se�or Dog, Dogness, Hairy Beast, and occasionally, just Woof.

from glitterfaery :

yes, all my cats have nicknames too. Thomas is "Tommy", which is prosaic enough, but Pixie is "Snickerdoodle" and also "Jelly-Belly", and Cristabel gets "Sweetheart" a lot.<br><br>For that matter, I even have a nickname for my mother's dog. Toby is "Stinky". He isn't, really, but no matter. He's delighted when I greet him that way.

from angeline-is :

Yup. My two cats have nicknames. Callisto is "Lunchbox"...she's rather round and tubbyfat, I nicked the name from Mallrats--and Mina is Midget or Mina-ture, because she is a very tiny cat. So you are not alone! Plenty of people nickname their cats.

from cdenise :

Koog, I did the same thing. I wanted to sign for 3 months at the end of september at a gym just to see how I would like it and got coerced into signing for a year. The guy wouldn't let me (literally) out of the door until I signed for a year stating "you'll get 3 months free! It's a savings." Well I didn't read the contract closely to find out that I was being billed started 11/01 instead of 1/02 so I didn't get my "15 months for the price of 12." I was ripped off. To top it off, I got sick in October and haven't been able to use the gym at all since then. So I'm being billed $39.95 per month and I can't/don't even go (I doubt there is a way to get out of it - I have never seen such a high pressure sale on their part). ::sigh:: What a waste of money. :( So all I can say is, I know where you're coming from. :( BTW, did you get a CD from me as a present? :)

from marn :

I'm starting to think that the whole gift giving thing must be a recessive gene linked to the x chromosome. We wimmens have two x's, the tripods but one and so only a minute portion of the male population is blessed with the perfect gift giving gene. Pure Vulcan logic, if you think about it. Oh, and congrats on the second Maine coon cat. I've always thought they were insanely gorgeous creatures.

from mrsw :

Nice redesign, but I miss the pink...

from blivet :

I don't know what universe these people are from if they think that the goth kids would be "freaking". The goth kids are the ones standing in the corner dancing by themselves and ignoring everyone else.

from adamh :

5/15/02 - since there isn't a datestamp ;) Diet soda sucks. Coming from the other side of the diabetic highway, I don't drink much soda anymore, because diet soda sucks. Oh,wait, did I say that already? Although, Diet Rite, the one with Splenda, is way better than Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi. I'll stick with water or seltzer in most situations.

from chinacat :

"recovering diabetic," maybe? "codependent pancreas?" although i think "non-practicing diabetic" is the funniest way possible to say it. and funniest is what's really important, after all.

from lara :

hi koogle-- saw this online quiz and couldn't help but think of you: http://www.extricate.nu/drift/quiz/makeup.html. What makeup are you? I'm eyeshadow. Yes, corny, but what the hell. Glad to hear you're doing well. :)

from subversive :

OK, now, yours is the second diary I've found with a "Diaryland Beautification Project" logo on it. Is this some secret club? Can I join? Do I get to plant daffodils and put mulch around the base of my diary? Enjoying your writing, BTW. :)

from donnagirl :

I wear brown on my lashes, but it looks black. Is that a faux pas? :) And I HATE iceberg lettuce. Nasty. Flavorless, and watery. Yuck.

from herworship :

Heh. I eat that very kind of lettuce. It's so easy...and so I find myself eating more of it, in salads, on tacos, burgers, sammiches, anything. And eating more veggies is a good thing, right?

from jennamhughes :

Ah, there is a problem with the idea that no blonde should wear black mascara...what if that particular blonde's lashes are ALREADY black? Thus, my problem. LOL

from herworship :

Hiccups cure: a spoon of sugar. Kind of hard to swallow, but it always works over here.

from mrsw :

That's the most amusing website I've visited in a long time, Kraft that is.

from kuinileti :

sorry you're not feeling well. i'm hoping for the best for you. (the utah grizzlies are a hockey team already... though your idea was good.)

from marn :

Since you're hoping she'll bloom, have you thought of Iris? It's a sweet, antique name with flower connotations.

from belle :

Koog, she's precious. She reminds me of my Mina, herself a tiny Maine Coon mix. Best of luck with the name search. Smokin' does not fit at all. I am sure you will find something suitably feminine, feline, and elegant for the new baby.

from simplify :

oh amanda, i'm so sorry about lola. my heart breaks for your kitty loss.

from marn :

I was so sorry to read about Lola. My sympathies, Koogle.

from pisceschrist :

i'm sorry about your cat. cats are so very cool, moreso than people. but i wanted to offer you my theory, on the other. maybe people tour with N'SYNC because they (the boys) offer them sweet tea? just a thought.

from herworship :

Koog, I read your entry today with loads of tears. Jasper and Cleo send many purrs your way. Sniffle.

from belle :

*hugs for Koog* As a fellow cat lover, my sympathies with you.

from marn :

Alice Munro, a Canuckian, writes simply superb short stories--the New Yorker has at least one piece by her each year in their fiction section. You might want to check out her previous collection, "The Love of a Good Woman" which is a big slice of wonderful. Her current collection is getting rave reviews, but I haven't picked it up yet, so I hesitate to recommend it.

from adamh :

Grafton Village cheese is very good, yes. The Williamsburg General Store here outside of Northampton is supposedly famous for their cheese, too. It's good. If you want maple goodness, my uncle is a sugarer in Vermont. If you're interested, I'll give you the contact info.

from cadences :

hi koog. i just wanted to leave you a note and say hello. i read you a long time ago, and just recently came back to catch up- i've missed your wonderful writing. keep it up and stay well! --love... cadences

from herworship :

merry christmas to you, cha cha cha.

from jillcat42 :

Hey- That bear is adorable. It screams "CUDDLE ME!" right through the computer screen. Stuffed animals are a thing of joy. *sniff* I hope you feel better for the holidays. Sick + Holidays = Suck. I'm sending you good vibes! -J

from chinacat :

why not get a real wreath to give you the wonderful smell? that's what i have done in years when i didn't get a tree.

from chinacat :

what about that commercial for the.. ummm.. marine corps maybe? with the song with no words, just a lot of "ahhh..." and "ohhhhhhh"s. that gets me every time. it always looks like one of those sept 11th memorial type things.

from chinacat :

see, i thought i was being all brave and adventurous, buying makeup without your guidance. i know better now. ;) i asked my friends if they minded going to the sephora in boston this weekend and then we discovered that it's gone. what boston does have, though, is a fresh store. that was heavenly. it wasn't obnoxiously scented like stores that sell stinky stuff usually are. i could actually smell the stuff i was trying to smell. ohhhhhh... they have some yummy smelling stuff.

from chinacat :

you should congratulate yourself for anything. you should congratulate yourself for not throttling anyone on a given day. you should congratulate yourself for waking up and looking the day squarely in the face. you should congratulate yourself for every day of the past year. why not? why the heck not? =)

i got here from a websearch of 'creed sucks'. i like make up too. your layour is purty.

from lobotomybabe :

Hey, my friend's brother (who is 18) awoke from a coma (no kidding!) and wanted to listen to Linkin Park. I guess that's who's listening to it. I hate them because of their name. I haven't even gotten a chance to listen to them, though I suspect I will pass if the opportunity presents itself. I'd rather listen to Creed. --L

from herworship :

Koogle, I'm so glad you're back. Do take care of yourself.

from lobotomybabe :

I hope you're feeling better soon and that you can get a new kidney. My thoughts are with you. --L

from mechaieh :

It's good to see you back. Best wishes for a speedy and steady recovery.

from donnagirl :

Koog, you RAWK! Hi. Do you want me to adopt you... since I get medical insurance pretty soon? And... sorry about Sunday. I was home ALL DAY. Until 7pm. I should be around ALL WEEKEND because I have 5,687 lesson plans to write. So... you know. If you're up to it, please call.

from kenazgirl :

i love you koogle!!!!!

from donnagirl :

Hi, 5'3", proportionate, above-average intelligent gal interested in meeting someone who isn't a fucking retard. Tired of being bored by people who think they're funny, annoyed by the pretentious, exhausted by the conservative... if you're someone who thinks they won't always piss me off, might make me laugh, and at least won't inspire me to sleep over dinner, give me a call. [amanda, I heard you called. I'm glad. Call me again. Sunday might be good.]

from adamh :

Oh. Der. Favorite beverage. Varies. In the morning, it's a large Dunkin Donuts coffee, light and sweet. (Coffee flavor? What's that.) Mid-morning it's refrigerated bottled water. Lunchtime, it's soda. Afternoon, water again. Dinner, milk. After dinner, lemon- or limeade. I must admit, however, to having a strong (but as yet unsatisfied) craving for a Friendly's Watermelon Cooler.

from adamh :

Notes! Kewl! Glad to see your pictures are unpassworded. :D

from koogle :

Hey Koog, you rock! This is just an example of the sort of message one might leave me. You might also tell me what your favorite beverage is... I don't know. I may or may not care about your favorite beverage, but if you tell me, it might just make me laugh, and I need all the laughs I can get. Also feel free to use this section as you would a personal ad... not that I want to go out with you, but somebody might.
