Ouchie!

Let it be said that liquid nitrogen is evil stuff when sprayed on skin for the purpose of removing moles and beauty marks that may or may not be cancerous.Â? I was seriously having to suppress the urge to swear today when my doc was spraying it on my chest and back!

And of course, I get to go back for more punishment next week.Â? Oh freaking joy…

My First Pouncing Experience

I just killed my first mouse.Â? I’m having serious karmic issues with this.

You see… my cats were refusing to listen to my shrieks of “KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT!!!!!!!!” and I had to take matters into my own hands.Â? (It distresses me muchly when they play with their food.)Â? I got a yogurt container, trapped the varmint under it, put the top on, took it outside, and stomped on it.Â? When I looked inside, the creature was breathing heavily.Â? I think it probably hemmorhaged to death.

I am feeling extreme guilt over the taking of another creature’s life, even if said creature would have spread bubonic plague or Hanta virus throughout my house.Â? I think this is why I couldn’t hunt and why I should really be a vegetarian…

A favor from another blogger…

A request from a fellow Blogathonner:

I am blogging for The Armed Forces Foundation and I have an Expression Engine (EE) blog. What the hell does that have to do with anything? EE has a plugin which allows you to throw up a random quote everytime the page is reloaded. I thought, well, what hte hey. Why don’t I use it to my advantage during the ‘Thon?

I want to have random messages to miltary personnel show up on the blog during the ‘Thon. It could be as short as “Thanks!” to as long as “I really appreciate what you do for our country.” or longer.

But I need help. I need messages for the plugin to pull from. Send me some messages! You can do it here. You can do it at my related entry on my blog or you can email me at burningwords @ gmail.com (excluding the spaces there).

And pass it on to your friends and their friends and their friends…

I think it’s cool, so I’m passing the word on!

You Know You Live in Rural Montana When…

the entire town gathers to watch/shoot off fireworks and you fit on someone’s deck.Â? :)Â? (OK… we had maybe 8-10 people overflowing into lawnchairs on the ground too.)

It was definitely fun despite some of the fireworks not getting enough height before exploding.Â? We ended up running for cover and having to stomp out fires a few times.Â? Afterwards, we had dessert: 4 kinds of ice cream (we were joking that someone beat up the Schwan’s man and stole his cache), spice cake, cookies, and jello (we were all Lutherans after all).
