I liked my neighbors' suggestion too. SHe'd lure them into her garage, shut the door, then start her van and leave it running.” 9:20:36 AM 5/17/04 “treebait - I am real sorry to hear about that. A little rage built up in me after reading that one. I can not imagine what yer going through. It's one thing to loose a pet, but...... Please, hang in there. If it were me, I'd buy the biggest steak in town, "bear bag" it someplace nice and wait with a pellet gun, a bowie knife and ear plugs. I'd then put it's head in stick in my front yard as a warning to other strays........ take care!” 9:48:03 AM 5/17/04 “I don't have a pellet gun, but HPM has a paintball gun and atomic fireballs are the same size as paintballs. Nah. I'll let the law handle it next time. But the time after that....” 9:50:12 AM 5/17/04 “Good morning. Nowslimmer, when did you sneak back into these parts?"Two weeks ago. treebait - Sorry about the cat. The road is still a mess. Bryson City is a little town, but they can sure develope traffic problems and back-ups.” 10:06:19 AM 5/17/04 “tree I am soo sorry you had to deal with something like that. Just plain sucks!!” 10:17:39 AM 5/17/04 Don`t do it!!!! “That startin` the car and leavin` it runnin` sounds good, but it`s not a workin` plan actually:(( The dogs`ll just lay down and low to the ground`s the last place the fumes`ll get to so, the best it`d do is make `em sick (the dogs), while killin` you in your own home (if it`s attached to the carport) and those you love and care for. I`m sorry to hear about your loss, but let the law take care of it. You can get another pet, but it won`t take the other one`s place, but it`ll help to fill the empty spot left with it`s passin` on;( Their body all limp, fur scattered, ripped and tore the untimely death of a pet`s enough to make you sore but two wrongs won`t ever make it right, you know just remember the love in your pet, you gota let go but, if it`s justice you seek, I know a dude that can do `em all in and wipe every one `em out just like that;) tomorrow belongs to no one, yesterday`s gone already, make the most of today,... I`m sorry about your cat” 11:55:41 AM 5/17/04 Hey Gemini “sometimes it's best just to come out and say it, deal with it, have the little funeral or whatever and move on with them. crappy thing, but part of life nonetheless.” 11:59:55 AM 5/17/04 “mornin' GET UP! GET UP!” 7:28:20 AM 5/18/04 “Aw-right awready!” 7:52:46 AM 5/18/04 “Ok, already. Good morning, I think!” 8:29:42 AM 5/18/04 “Ahh, the slow pace of grading week. Have coffee at home, actually eat some breakfast, straggle in around 10 and fiddle on the internet rather than deal with the stack of papers to my right... OK, enough dawdling. Gotta get 'em done.” 11:13:51 AM 5/18/04 “Morning to all...it is almost time for work....sigh..I arrived from Ohio about 1am this morn....going to be a VERY long day today....they would only let me off 2 days for my ex-father-in-laws funeral, so we left after the funeral lunchen.....it was quite a funeral...like none other.....they played Sons of the Pioneers music and my nephews played his fav tunes on the harmonicas....so along with the tears there was laughter......as he would have liked it.....he was a great man....touched many , and will be missed....a nap is at the top of my "to do" list today” 4:22:48 AM 5/19/04 “morning!! Divinity, I am sorry about your ex father inlaw.” 5:24:32 AM 5/19/04 “Good morning. Sorry about your loss, divinity. Cool and windy this morning after thunderstorms rolled through early last evening.

LOL So true!!!” 6:09:27 AM 5/20/04 Gemini “LOL...I can relate..my boys are the same way. However, I think we may survive..one more year of high school and one more year of middle school!” 8:55:18 AM 5/20/04 Divinity “You just described the funeral my Dad wants when he kicks off. I'm not kidding.” 9:41:41 AM 5/20/04 “Sorry for your loss, Div. I'm still trying to talk my wife into a Viking funeral for me.” 9:44:26 AM 5/20/04 “A good soaking rain overnight that will do the flora well (and give the skeeters a big boost) here in the North Woods. Cold front coming through later will put us back in the 50s for Friday. Blehh.” 10:07:11 AM 5/20/04 up the creek “Hi all. Taking a shuttle boat across Fontana Lake to Hazel Creek. Plan to spend a lazy two weeks of R&R up the creek. See ya!” 11:22:39 AM 5/20/04 “sounds pretty cool NS, take care of the place, and yourself.” 11:51:27 AM 5/20/04 “This sucks. I woke up about 2:15 AM. I tried to go back to sleep, but after nearly an hour and a half of being awake, I decided to get up and start studying. Oh well, time to hit the books. It's going to be a long day. TGIF!” 3:18:42 AM 5/21/04 “Hey, what's the computer doing still on at 3:20 a.m.? Hey, what am I doing up now? The answer to one of these questions: Over 50. But that leaves one unanwered...” 3:39:40 AM 5/21/04 “Tango Golf India Foxtrot, you-all. It's almost 5 AM....

You MUST do a trip report!” 6:25:14 AM 5/21/04 “divinity...a report is expected...anyone want to wager how long it will be til the kanu is tipped and in they are water!

Started thundering and lightening around 12:00, tornado sirens went off at 1am, small screaming child spent the rest of the duration curled up under my chin, sucking her finger and rubbing her "special" blankie like mad and kicking her dad often. I kept on reminding myself how wonderful it is to have someone who thinks you can hold thunder at bay and a tornado back. Pretty soon she'll be so big she won't ever want to snuggle up to me like she did last night, sigh.” 7:52:05 AM 5/21/04 “divinity I like the way you show death as being part of life.. I would rather my love ones live fully lives and be loved when ever their time comes. Nice tribute that you gave. Glad it's Friday here in Charlotte...news for today YMCA waterpark opens this afternoon and the temp is suppose to break 90.. Only 12 more days till school is out and then watch out trail here I come!” 8:05:27 AM 5/21/04 Sassafras “Laurel loves to cuddle up when she's afraid too. The problem is she's not afriad of thunder or lightning, big storms, or anything like that. She's afraid of the neighbors' 10 month old baby crawling around.” 8:54:55 AM 5/21/04 “damn, its going to be in the 90's again today. it isn't even june yet and it has felt like autgust.” 3:59:20 AM 5/23/04 “been up for hours..time to go back to bed.. nite nite” 4:18:23 AM 5/23/04 “damn... woke up waaaaaaaaay too early and couldn't sleep. AACK!” 5:49:29 AM 5/23/04 “You, too, lizs? The pets were my alarm clock (the real one NOT being set because I'm on BREAK, dang it). Weather channel radar shows a wall of green (rain) has advanced right to the south of town. I expect it to be a soggy day. Hope the forecast is wrong about maybe getting 2 inches. A little at a time would be nice, and it has been rainy and damp for most of the week. Still, not as bad as Iowa and southern Wisconsin!” 6:20:18 AM 5/23/04 “corn flakes and bananas...except for the chai....its childhood deja vu...... another beauty of a day... time to go rejoice~~~~~~~~~~~~~” 7:40:38 AM 5/23/04 “Ok...I'm up already......a GREAT weekend even if I hurt..........woooohoooooo......we need a TT Elk River canoe float....wooohooo...I think the most I have ever laughed..... anyway....I hope everyone has a GREAT day.....going to be a long week beacuse I am so excited..........going to the coast for the weekend......wooohoooo...... see y'all tonight!!!” 4:27:44 AM 5/24/04 “Is it Tuesday yet??” 5:13:59 AM 5/24/04 “Not quite, Tilt.
