Bad Debts and Provision of Bad Debts.
An application of the concept of prudence.

Poor Rachael
As I attempt to write this Rachael is sitting on my lap. Any mistakes are therefore due to her additional comments....ahooooo...and her wrapping her paws around me as I attempt to write.
After the weekly dash to the superstore to restock the cupboards, we took Rachael to the vet. The vet informed us that the swelling on her abdomen was not due to complications of the neutering as we had thought. The neutering had been carried out in an attempt to resolve the swelling. What Rachael has is hormone problems…..she therefore joins the ranks of millions of human women. The hormone problem is not one that is common in cats and the vet is baffled. She has given Rachael antibiotics to reduce a slight temperature and hormone tablets to attempt to reduce to root of the problem. We are to take Rachael back to the vet next Friday….but they would not let us make an appointment as we may have to go back to the vet in two days, if the tablets make the swelling worse rather than better.
I will keep you posted.
Grades
A high-school student came home one night rather depressed.
"What's the matter, son," asked his mother.
"Aw, Mom," said the boy, "It's my grades. They're all wet."
"What do you mean 'all wet?'"
"You know," he replied, "...below C-level

Sisters.
A couple of my sisters have reappeared out of the distant mists. It must be time to have a party. We could go swinging on a star whilst eating cinni rolls. Ever noticed how cinni is very similar to sinni? Just to leave them on the plate is a sin.
Some Chardoney (sp?) in tall flutted glasses would be good also.
Have a great weekend and welcome back.

Guestbook set up
The guest book is now set up. Oh joy you can now send me messages. Remember the rule of thumb...keep the messages clean...I have the power of deletion. ***evil laugh***
You can find the guestbook away at the bottom of the page. Happy hunting.
Oops, I've reversed my longtitude and latatude on the geolink. Accordingly i will be relocating to the Seychelles, if only in my dreams! Hey, it might be a case of seeing where I am going to visit in the future. Now where can I get the funding? Do you think the airlines will take virtual money? I've got some blogshares I could cash in.
I did it! Shock Horror, I've managed to get the button linkts to the bottom of the page. All i need now is someone to tell me how to get them nicely lined up in a row.
I'm getting there. I've only the counter to remove to the bottom of the page. I'm sure I had it in the right place at the bottom, but somehow it seems to have jumped to the top again. Agh well back to the drawing board.
Coding
I've been playing with addling button links to the blogsite tonight. I'm not doing too badly. So far I've got the counter almost centered in the middle of my posts. A geolink floating at the top of the page instead of the bottom and dear help us I seem to have lost the archives. Don't fear I will sort it out......help.
Sunshine
Well I got a little sun today. A whole two hours of it. Normally there is only sunshine here in the mornings before the cloud cover arrived, But today I was able to rush home from work and sit outside on the swing. Oh joy Oh bliss. T-shirt and shorts and hairy legs. Hey its not my fault I have winter growth. Do you think I am going to waste my time shaving my legs when there is no man to impress. Besides it is the first time this year I've been out of trousers.
T-shirt, shorts and hairy white legs. Must remember to put the defoliator or whatever its called...umm nope the name of the torture device is gone....put the whats it in the freezer. Yes I did say the freezer. The idea is to chill the leg before pulling the hairs out one by one.
Have booked an apointment for the new cat with the local vet. The cat shelter said she had had complications during minor surgery. As that area is very swollen we are having her checked. Crossed fingers it is nothing serious.
I wonder where I left an ice lolly. Pear Picken Porky. Yummy. I really dislike ice-cream lollies. Give me sugar ice any day. Double yummy.

Survived another night
Finally got to sleep around 2 am. The new cat and the old one had decided to draw battle lines on my bed, with the final battle of the night on my pillow. Now I don't mind acting as a mound around which the fighting took place, but I do object to fighting on my pillow when my head is on it. Not that it stayed there for long. I think I broke the speed of sound as I removed my large bulk to the foot of the bed. Things are quiet this morning. After locking the younger cat into the living room, I gently and sometimes forcably encouraged the elder one down the stairs and into the kitchen for breakfast.
Before sleeping I did have to remove all the hair from the pillow, little tufts of it. I wonder if I put a chicken down in front of them could they pluck it as quick. A dead one from the butcher of course, not a live one. I could not kill another living being........unless I was lost in a jungle and totally starving.

Study Tips
1. Sit with back to window so you are not distracted. Not required during wet weather.
2. Have all pens sharpened before sitting down to table. That way you will be forced to use a pencil which CAN be rubbed out. Re-read sentance until understood!
3. Carefully stack work papers in an organised er... stack. Coloured paper is optional. Black paper and black ink does not work. Black paper and silver ink works well.....gold also.
4. Have instruction manual for Oragami handy. Helps use unwanted paper and is good for relaxation.
5. Drink regularly but not excessively. To much drink and one of two things will happen. Firstly you will be running to the loo frequently, secondly you will become drunk. Contrary to urban myths drunk people are not good at writing essays, screen play or songs.
6. Keep a bowl of finger food handy. Fruit is healthy, chocolates and fries are more satisfying.
7. Set timer to ring every fifteen minutes. This way you will not miss the start of your favourite soap.
8. Remember your first aid training. Bandages are usefull for reducing the noise levels of children, spouces etc. Super glue is optional, but there is a higher risk of being perminantly attached to the being you are trying to gag.
9. Turn on answerphone or call screening. This way you can check that the person calling is someone you want to talk to.
and finally 10. When doing exam....If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished!
Good luck.

USEFUL TIPS AND OBSERVATIONS:
My thanks to Annie for these which I just had to share.
1. Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are
removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it was a valuable plant.
2. The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
3. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
4. One good turn gets most of the blankets.
5. There are two kinds of pedestrians - the quick and the dead.
7. Life is sexually transmitted.
8. Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
9. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
10. What has four legs and an arm? A happy pit bull terrier.
11. Every morning is the dawn of a new error...
12. I can see clearly now, the brain is gone...
13. I used up all my sick days, so I'm calling in dead.
14. Mental floss prevents moral decay!
15. A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.
16. If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished!
17. It's not hard to meet expenses, they're everywhere.
18. Budget: A method for going broke methodically .
Thought is a universal energy which is a pathway for communication between the physical world & spiritual world...

PIG
A man is driving up a steep, narrow mountain road. A woman is driving
down the same road. As they pass each other, the woman leans out of the
window and yells "PIG!!" The man immediately leans out of his window and
replies, "WITCH!!" They each continue on their way, and as the man
rounds the next corner, he crashes into a pig in the middle of the road.
If only men would listen.
Turtle Accident
Two snails were standing on the side of the road, a turtle stopped and said,
"Do you guys want a ride on my back"?
One of the snails took him up on his offer and off he went.
As the turtle reached the intersection another turtle came along and crashed
into him. The poor little snail was thrown and killed. A cop investigating
the accident began questioning the dead snail's buddy. "What happened?" he
asked.
The little snail replied, "I don't know it all happened so fast."
Cat Update
We have had Rachael now for two days. In that time she has managed to puncture my knee after failing to jump onto my keyboard which sits on a sliding shelf. Last night when attempting to seperate Rachael and Shadow, Rachael was so anoyed with my intervention she attempted to slash my wrists. Thank goodness for salvalon antiseptic cream. I don't think the cuts are infected. If my wrist drops off I will let you know.
The lesson has been learned. When ever attempting to seperate two fighting cats .......wear heavy duty gloves.
All is currently quiet in the home. The two cats have worked out a system. The young one gets the living room and the elder one gets the rest of the house. This suits me fine. Rachael sleeps on dads knee and Shadow is with me in the study....snoring of course.
And miracles never cease. I am going to have to pull the curtains....the sun is out..shock..knock me down with a feather....etc

Maggie Shayne - Embrace the Twilight
Another mysterious love story from a excelent writer. In this Twilight installment the almost human and only known chld ever born to a vampire, Amber Lily, is kidnaped by an old enemy. It takes the gypsy vampire Sarafina and the human Willem Stone chosen to watch over Amber Lily to join forces and resuce her. It is almost a tragic tale as any romance between Sarafina and Stone is doomedfrom the start. Stone does not carry the Belladona antigen.

A Kitty Called Rachael
Yesterday we went to the cat rescue centre to collect Penelope, who was happy to see us. However it was explained that the cat was too old and set in its way to go to a house with another cat. What a pity as it was a lovely thing.
We had another look at the half-wild one, but were told that it would not be leaving the centre as they did not feel it would make a good pet. So we wondered around looking at all the furballs. We were offered a tom cat which lived in the cat litter tray and turned boneless when lifted, but declined. We were looking for something with a little more spirit.
Dad, who had been up earlier in the day took me to see a young 9 month old in another part of the sanctuary. When we got there the guide informed us that that particular kitty had been moved up to the main cattery a short time before. So it was back to the main cattery. There we discovered that a cat we had noticed earlier climbing up the chain fence was the cat Dad had been interested in. We took it home.
I had a phone call from him coming up to lunchtime today asking for rescue. The little furball kept climbing onto his knee and washing him. Hehehe the cat obviously thinks he needs a bath. LOL It follows him everywhere, but is not too impressed to be fed CAT food. Someone had taught it bad habits as it jumps on tables, benches etc. Not to worry, I have a handy mist gun to squirt water at it when it misbehaves. It will soon learn not to jump onto ‘food’ surfaces.
Shadow our old cat has been sulking most of the day. Whilst Rachael is with Dad keeping him company, Shadow is with me in the Study. We have had to close the cat flap which allows access to the back door. Poor Shadow is reduced to using a cat litter box. ‘Well really dear that is not done’ is the snooty look she gives it.
On the home front my sister has started to build my website for me. It is called DracoFalls and should be up and running within a month. In honour of the new kitten she used a Kitten Header for the site. Sorry Sis, although it is very nice, Kittens and Dragons don’t go together. It was a lovely idea and very pretty. Besides the site is for earth science i.e. rocks and deep oceans as well as poetry and a link for the rest of the world to read my bloggs. Thank goodness she is willing to build the site, I have no idea where to start and all those >> and << mean nothing to me.
Have a nice evening.

The New Matrix Movie
Well I finally made it to the cinema. It was a hard choice between the latest Matrix Reloaded or X-men 2. A very hard choice, but since Matrix Reloaded started first it was the one, popcorn in arms, that I saundered in to see.
What can I tell you. The action was non-stop. The actors for the most part cute. The grapics wonderful and the music great. Even the twist in the plot was excellent.
When the audiance yell an agonising 'NOOOOO' when the 'To be continued' pops up on the screen you know that the movie is excellent. I can't wait to see the last part when it is released in six months time.
If you haven't yet seen the movie go Go GO.
Score 10/10

Web Page Building
I've taken the first step into the dark and decided to get a web site.
It's very dark here as the light of inspiration seems to have gone out. I have absolutely no idea where to start. What theme I want to use. A personal site of course. Maybe with a photogallery. Links to my favourite sites of course.
I suppose I should be voting for the Eurovision Song Contest, but to be honest Britian has never had a song as great as the legendary Bucks Fiz singing Making Your Mind Up. I do hear the ocasional comment from the living room. Along with shouts of 'thats political voting'. Apparently Britian still has to get its first vote. Defiantly an anti war crowd.
I wonder if I can talk my sister into building my website for me. www.kalamaraarts.com That's her place. I've put her link on my blogger page to try and encourage her. Yo Ho little sister.

I'm afraid you will have to copy and past the link as I have not quite worked out how to get it into clickable format.

A Cat Named Penelope
Well I think I might have talked his majesty into allowing me to get another cat. My own dear Shadow is going on 24 years and does nothing but sleep. On my bed I might add. Eat, sleep and lie in the sunshine. In my next life I want to be a cat.
Today we called into the Assisi centre to look for a new pet. The centre is set in the rolling hills near to the village of Conlig and looks towards Strangford Lough. Lush green fields, surounded by stone walls, but up against an ancient woodland. It is the place where abandoned, almost feral cats and no longer wanted pets go to find new homes. As always it was packed due to another charity raising open day. Strangely enough it is one of the few charities that I do donate money to, since they don’t get any government funding and rely on people like you and I to support them.
So there we are. Up at the cattery, being ignored by the cats who are more interested in watching the dogs being put though their paces. Have you ever seen a cat called Fido being made to run around an obstacle course? Of course you have not. Cats stare with that superior down the nose look as dogs frolic around attempting to appease their pack leader. Cats know they are the pack leader and do not let you forget it.
There is one cat in particular that I like, but cannot get close enough to touch. It looks similar to a cat that died last year. Then there is a white and black one (more white than black) that is friendly. This one is the one we finally choose.
One thing I am clear about is that I am not going to call it Pine...err...pen...ah…Penelope. That is the first thing that is going to change.
Now how do I tell an elderly cat that there is a new cat coming next week to stay….
And how do I convince his majesty to get the feral cat instead?
Either way it will be £50 well spent.

Oh my it's Saturday again
Where did the week go? Once more it is up with the larks and chores to be done. Dare I list them. Shopping, washing, cleaning, cinema, assignment and a spot of leisure.
Shopping is first on the list. Get into the shops first so there is no need to jostle for the freshest veggies, or trolly bash when fighting for the fastest moving cashier. (The line I get into seems to have a remarkable way of instantly becoming the slowest). Then off course there is the fact that you can park reasonably close to shop entrance.
Any way I must dash. I have to navigate the ring road before the snail drivers or jet drivers get on them.

Why are my dashes between words looking like thick I's?
Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush.
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine in the night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry. I'm not there. I did not die.

SARS Virus - Where did it come from?
There are all sorts of reports running around the web at the moment regarding the SAR outbreak. Some of my favourites follow.
Is it chemical warfare? Could be – there are a lot of terrorist organisations with grudges to settle.
Is it own government research gone rogue? Perhaps – New chemicals require testing to check their effectiveness.
Did it come from space? They are out there! – I thought that space carried bacteria and germs were burnt as they entered the earth’s atmosphere.
WHO thinks it originated in animals in southern China. That the mammals carrying the virus were found in an animal market begs the question – did the animals give the virus to the humans or did humans give the virus to animals.
Either way the virus crossed the species boundary, which makes me wonder what else is out there?

Stationery – Continuing Sheets
When did ordering stationery become so difficult? All I want is a nice plain blue page and matching envelope.
Here are some of the highlights I came across when attempting to order.
What size of page?
Duke (7” x 5”), or King (8” x 6”), or Imperial (9” x 6 ¼”) , or A4 (8 ¼” x 11 ¾”)?
I get the feeling that the cost per sheet is going to be royally expensive.
What type of paper?
Huh?
Matt, woven, linen, laid, glossy or picture? Linen? I don’t want one made of paper, I would like mine made of finely mashed and mushed tree.
What weight?
What weight of what?
Each sheet can be a weight between 80 gms and 160 gms? The higher the weight the stronger the paper.
Translation: photocopy paper thickness 80 gms to postcard 160 gms
Colour?
I’d like a blue?
Royal blue, light blue, florescent blue, sky blue, ocean blue, petunia blue ….?
err... right..I’ll ring you back. (I never did get to the envelopes)
When did ordering stationery become so difficult? All I want is a nice plain blue page and matching envelope.
Here are some of the highlights I came across when attempting to order.
What size of page?
Duke (7” x 5”), or King (8” x 6”), or Imperial (9” x 6 ¼”) , or A4 (8 ¼” x 11 ¾”)?
I get the feeling that the cost per sheet is going to be royally expensive.
What type of paper?
Huh?
Matt, woven, linen, laid, glossy or picture? Linen? I don’t want one made of paper, I would like mine made of finely mashed and mushed tree.

Circus Tickets
Have you ever noticed how popular you become when you have some complementary tickets to the circus. Everyone suddenly becomes your friend.
Because you know how limited the numbers of tickets you have are you decide that it would be for the best if you start rationing them out. One for her, one for him and one for me.
Then you find you are short, there are not enough to go around, so you give up yours to someone more in need. (I hate to see a man cry)
After that you start ringing around to see if there is anyone one your lengthing list who doesn’t want a ticket Sheesh, maybe I should have accepted those bribes. I could have been a wealthy woman. I mean how often does a woman get offered an unopened packet of ginger nut biscuts
Ever noticed that after all the tickets are gone, including the one you had been hording for yourself, how quiet the phones are.
