9 Lives, 8 To Go!

Last night Jennifer, Gavin and I were heading off to a nice Birthday dinner traveling south on Rt. 13 from Delmar. We came up to the light at the MD State Police Barracks and stopped for the red light. It's a pretty long light, as many of you know. I looked to my left at the car next to me because my eye caught something moving. I started staring and I said, Jennifer, is that a kitten underneath that car.

She looked over and stared for a second until it moved again and she said, OMG, it is. I jumped out of the car as it was underneath the vehicle and I didn't know if it had been hit, or what.

I gently tapped on the woman's window and asked her to make sure she didn't go anywhere. I went to reach for the kitten but it ran to the other side, so I followed it. It then ran underneath a pickup truck in the left turn lane and his window was down. Everyone could tell that something was up. I told him a little kitten just went under his truck so like a gentleman he turned off his engine and the little rascal jumped up inside the bed of the truck and hid inside the frame of the truck.

It took a few minutes but we were able to coax it out of there and into the arms of the woman the kitten was under her car to start with. She then informed me that there was a group of 5 kittens near her home and it must have found its way under the car and when she stopped at the light it jumped down.

UNBELIEVABLE! This kitten was dead no matter what if I hadn't seen him. He was right next to her tire when I saw it too. She put the kitten inn her can, thanked us and off she went. While they weren't her kittens, who wants to bet this one has just found a new home.

It couldn't have been much more than 6 weeks old, tiny little thing. Anyhow, it's safe and alive and that's all that matters.

Brooke Mulford Update

Guess what everybody? My Transplant is done with!!! Everything was a go and it happened around 12:25PM. The Doctors said, “my batch of cells were really good ones!” I was such a brave girl, as you can see in the picture it was a really big syringe! I laid their and they did it very quickly, I didn’t even get sick like they said would probably happen. Then it was time to take vital signs and I did them myself, I know this routine now. Then it was time for what I really wanted, my special present. It was the Playmobile Emergency Helicopter to go with my Hospital and my Ambulance. I am now running my own Hospital! Mommy put it together and I am playing with it with Grammy right now. Well I would love to stay and chat, but I need to go rescue some people.Well everybody, Brooke did amazing and she is feeling pretty good at the moment. She still has a bad rash and itching very badly from the allergic reaction the other day due to the Chemo drug or the Blood Transfusion. She is one brave girl, or One Brave Chick as a shirt she has says. Well going to go so I can get this and the pictures posted!

BECAUSE I'M A MAN

Because I'm a man, when I lock my keys in the car, I will fiddle with a coat hanger long after hypothermia has set in. Calling AAA is not an option. I will win.
______________________________________________

Because I'm a man , when the car isn't running very well, I will pop the hood and stare at the engine as if I know what I'm looking at. If another man shows up, one of us will say to the other, 'I used to be able to fix these things, but now with all these computers and everything, I wouldn't know where to start.' We will then drink a couple of beers and break wind, as a form of holy communion.
_______________________________________________

Because I'm a man, when I catch a cold, I need someone to bring me soup and take care of me while I lie in bed and moan. You're a woman. You never get as sick as I do, so for you, this is no problem.
_______________________________________________

Because I'm a man, I can be relied upon to purchase basic groceries at the store, like beer, milk or bread. I cannot be expected to find exotic items like 'cumin' or 'tofu.' For all I know, these are the same thing.
_______________________________________________

Because I'm a man, when one of our appliances stops working, I will insist on taking it apart, despite evidence that this will just cost me twice as much once the repair person gets here and has to put it back together.
_______________________________________________

Because I'm a man, I must hold the television remote control in my hand while I watch TV. If the thing has been misplaced, I may miss a whole show looking for it.....though one time I was able to survive by holding a calculator..... (applies mainly to engineers).
_______________________________________________

Because I'm a man, there is no need to ask me what I'm thinking about. The true answer is always either sex, cars, sex, sports or sex. I have to make up something else when you ask, so don't ask.
_______________________________________________

Because I'm a man, Whatever you got her for Mother's Day is okay; I don't need to see it. And don't forget to pick up something for my mother, too.
_______________________________________________

Because I'm a man, you don't have to ask me if I liked the movie. Chances are, if you're crying at the end of it, I didn't... and if you are feeling amorous afterwards....then I will certainly at least remember the name and recommend it to others.
_______________________________________________

Because I'm a man, I think what you're wearing is fine. I thought what you were wearing five minutes ago was fine, too. Either pair of shoes is fine. With the belt or without it, looks fine. Your hair is fine. You look fine. Can we just go
now?
_______________________________________________

Because I'm a man, and this is, after all, the year 2009, I will share equally in the housework. You just do the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning, the vacuuming, and the dishes, and I'll do the rest...... Like wandering around in the garden with a beer wondering what to do.

This has been a public service message for women to better understand men.

Thanks

My husband and I are fairly new to reading the blog & find it very enlightening. I'm not sure why some people get so angry with you, but you provide an excellent and much needed alternative service. I now check the blog out several times a day.

We used to live in Ocean City, now in Willards - but you manage to cover a wide area, so it's always interesting. (Was surprised to even see a story that involved my former Jr. High - George Read up in New Castle.)

You must get so tired trying to keep up with it all - but thanks.
