Hello everybody! I've been searching and searching for a MT job but i can't seem to find one, so instead i've decided to dedicate one of my weekends to walking for the march of dimes. I'll be doing it 4-14-07 in my hometown. If anybody would like to help with the cause i have been given my own website for donations:

Thanks for your time reading this, i'm just pretty excited and want to get as many people involved as possible!

My daughter is 5 and really wanted a cat, but we just aren't "cat people."  We have a big dog, and she loves him but wanted something cuddlier.  We wanted something that she could help care for and play with.  We get the "pigs" out of their cage every day (we have a an indoor fence/play yard that we put on a towel to catch the pee and poop) and let them run around.  They have turned out to be a lot more fun than I thought they would.  They really don't smell as long as you change the bedding in the cage every three to four days (might go longer if you only had one).  From the things I've read and our experience, they are really gentle and tolerant (no one has gotten even an accidental bite since we got them in March, and we handle them ALL the time). 

The negatives are that they are quite messy ( lots more vaccuming in the room where the cage is - again might not be as bad with only one - most of the bedding goes flying when they get to chasing each other around), and they can be noisy (especially at night when you're wanting to sleep). 

They are terribly cute, and we love them but, like any animal, they are a lot of work.  I don't regret it at all, but I can see where it wouldn't be for everyone.   

which grew up really nice and started to grow out like vines - got pretty white flowers in them which means the pumpkins would be coming out in a few weeks.

I haven't checked up on them all week because we've had plenty of rain so I haven't had to water them.  I go today with my big bucket of water and there was only dirt left with holes. They dug them up and ate EVERYTHING - the stalks, flowers, everything!  I am really upset.

I have 3 boys - 2 little ones, and we live in the country. Every year I spend about 80.00 on pumpkins decorating our porch, land, etc with pumpkins. I though I'd be a little more economical and plant seeds in the spring which cost a dollar so that I could have nice, ripe pumpkins, as many as I wanted - for the fall.

I'm thinking rabbits got them. We have indoor cat/dog so it wasn't my animals. I'm not sure what to do next spring. I'm not giving up. How can I keep animals from getting to them like that???

I want to cry.......I've been going out into the field and watching them grow..they were my babies..

I am doing Easter at my house for the first time, as I am the only one with kids in my family.  I am looking for something to do that is sort of traditional, but fun.  My family does not like lamb, but all else if fair game.  I would love any ideas to help me plan for my first real holiday feast!!! Thanks and hope you all have a great holiday!

Well, my friends, it is time to go downstairs now. I am finished working for the day, and for the first time in my life I can honestly say I am sorry about that! I don't want to see anything with a tail, pointy ears, fur, sharp teeth, wings, bulging eyes, etc. Guess that leaves the ex husband out! HAAAAAAAAA!  Thanks for today, all of you. I really thought I could not smile today. You are the best!

Well David Paterson, new Governor on NY as of today, is reported to have had an extra-marital affair..no prostitutes, just a long term affair. He claims it happened when his marriage was in trouble and his wife also had an affair. According to him, they then had counseling, got back together and that was that.

Someone in Albany started a rumor that Paterson also had a "love child" with still another woman, but Paterson flatly denied it.

I don't have a link--it's breaking news.
