Ask may be alive and kicking, but I’m really going to end up hating the hell out of Thoughts if they don’t get their shit together real damn soon. If it’s been so sluggish for this long, though, obviously they don’t mind or have any intentions of doing anything about the problem, so as soon as my tracking subscription expires, I will probably stick with MyOpera. Then again, I don’t know that I’m curious enough about my visitors to be that patient. I may leave Thoughts sooner. I’m getting really, really fed up. It’s impossible to enjoy the site at all!

If I stick with MO and turn it public again, I won’t want only cat pictures, so I would return to KB to create “cat copies” for Maliheh. The one I never seem to hear from anymore. I hope she’s just busy and that nothing’s wrong. If there is I hope she’ll tell me. Just because I may not be able to help doesn’t mean I’m not a good listener. :) It’s kind of obvious, though, that she planned this all along. I knew her promising to keep in touch was bullshit and that she would continue to go longer and longer between messages. Eventually, I won’t hear from her for a year. Then 2, then 3, then never.

Got a 5-minute engine-gunning spree from Jesse late yesterday afternoon and a few barks today. I really hope we get lucky enough to have 4 quiet weekend nights in a row! I’ll know how it’ll be tonight in 2-3 hours cuz he usually takes off between 7:30 - 8:30 if he’s gonna be gone all night.

I really hope some of the houses we looked at online aren’t just a dream! I’m really, really sick of this tiny old trailer no matter what you can or can’t hear in it. We totally deserve better than this!

Tom’s asthma has been bothering him due to how physical his job can be. It’s a different type of asthma than what I had. He never smoked and neither did his parents. So he doesn’t have the wheezing and tightness I’d get when I used to smoke and lived down in the desert. My lungs didn’t totally improve till I left Arizona. I swear I will never step foot in that state ever again even just to visit! But the only time I had any real problems since leaving it was when we moved into a duplex that had just laid down new carpet. It was a little scary the way I wheezed my ass off because I had long since abandoned any inhalers. Tom describes the feeling as being achy. Andy said sticking his face in a freezer would help, but he feels this pain all the time. He can’t stand with his face inside a freezer 24/7.

Later…

Thoughts has shown absolutely no desire whatsoever to fix the site issues it’s had for over a week now, and therefore I won’t be reading other people’s blogs and commenting on them. I’m sorry but all I can stand to do is just post my own entries and that’s it. I haven’t even changed backgrounds in a while. Just didn’t want my friends to think I was ignoring them because I’m not. I’m just so sick of this shit that I’m within inches of leaving that site altogether. This is why I left a couple of years ago – too much change, too many glitches. I have met a few nice people who are regular followers and so I will be sure to leave a link to wherever I go if I do end up leaving.

I’m amazed at just how much more active Ask is than Formspring was before a virus attacked it. Can’t have animated backgrounds there, but it’s cool to see all the questions and comments I get from both friends as well as anonymously. I still wonder who in the world my anonymous askers are. Alison said she never referred to me as “pretty lady” and I agree it doesn’t sound at all like anything she would say. It’s probably just some random guy. I don’t get the sense that I know the other anonymous people.

I’m glad Aly joined. I knew she would. Too bad Nane didn’t join. I knew she wouldn’t.
