Not Quite What I Meant
I’m with you Naomi, about what you commented about! But that wasn’t quite what I was referring to here. It’s actually something very sweet and I do like the person I’m referring to. I just wanted to be clear that we’re just friends.
And it’s hard to do that when the person hasn’t come right out and said they like you like that, but you can definitely tell. So I thought a vague post here would help, but I think it’s just been totally the wrong tack to take and really, I’ve probably been tactless and hurtful when I didn’t mean to be.

Just Want To Make Sure
Does putting “Single - Not Looking” in every single profile you have online make it clear that one is not currently available, even if not currently married or engaged?
I don’t know. I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. I just want to be clear.
I am divorced and unattached, but for many many reasons am “not looking” and that’s how it has to be.
I apologize if I appear to be full of myself. It’s complicated…..
WTF Twitter - Redux
Twitter is down? I was going to Twitter this, but I guess I’ll blog it:
“Sherryness is… Listening to Charlie gargle water to the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” (or the ABC song, take your pick).
WTF, Twitter?
Twitter is kind of cool, but it pisses me off sometimes. Today I entered, “Texting with Donna about pineapple.” And I hit “submit” and nothing happened. So I hit submit again and this time it took. But then it showed two identical entries. So I deleted one of them. Now NEITHER of them is there. “Not quite ready for prime time” are we Twitter??? I dunno,….
Anyway… To follow up on recent things…..
I did get dinner cooked for me last night. Appetizer of roasted red peppers with goat cheese and a lovely chilled rose`. Then spaghetti bolognese and endless wonderful conversation. But then he made me watch “Grudge 2″ - I’m not sure I”ll ever drink milk again….
Regarding my “bad feeling” - Charlie started daycare on Monday morning at Kindercare - and ended his career there Monday night. They handed me back my check and said they couldn’t keep him. He needs too much special attention to the point where it is a safety issue for him (running out the front door) and others (his hitting and tearing things) - so I’m now on the hunt for special education daycare.
Donna, the saint, also known as Cupcake, took him for me for the last 36 hours or so to give me a break and to let me catch up on work. Work is great when I can actually work, and I made some tremendous headway in the time she had him. I just hope I can keep it up and tread water until he starts 1st grade in the fall.
Yes, you heard that right FIRST GRADE! It is Special Ed first grade, but still, he was in MAINSTREAM kindergarten and passed. So into first grade he goes. I am very happy about that.
Anyway, I might twitter with happiness if Twitter weren’t so flaky. That’s kind of annoying really, but oh well. I got to re-set. Things are good again.
I just have post-traumatic stress disorder when it comes to milk, now. Ish…….
Something Is Up
I have the creepiest feeling. Like hairs on the back of my neck standing up. If I were psychic, I’d be worried.
Maybe it’s something I ate… Weird.
That’s A Bummer
No hits from Bangor, Maine. Oh well, it was worth a shot!
Online Clipping Service?
I once mentioned Stephen King in my blog. The next day I had a hit from Bangor Maine. Coincidnence? I supsect “Google Alerts.”
Stephen, I wrote a fan letter to you in 1985 which I never mailed. And I’ve read the portion of “On Writing” that dealt with telepathy and I have two things to say about that:
1. You reached me in the future. Mission accomplished!
2. I’ve had a similar (or not really similar, but similarly weird) theory that I’ve always called “musicians as mediums” - that musicians are really just pulling music from the GodOsPhere or wherever…..
Authors are the same, I suppose….
Anyway, it will be interesting to see if I have a hit on my sitemeter from Bangor tomorrow. 
I love you, Mr. King. You’ve brought a lot to me in the 22 years or so that I’ve been reading you.
Floods Hurt Homeless in Des Moines, Iowa - Help Needed
The recent flooding of streets in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, caused a lot of homeless to lose what little bit they had. Mainly the very bare ”necessities” for their lives, such as tents, sleeping bags, clothing, canned goods, cookware, small propane stoves, tarps, rope or cord, flashlights, shoes, boots, and anything basic you can think of.
Please visit the Des Moines Homeless Help website if you would like to see how you can help.

I’m Notcher Buddy
We are NOT “all in this together.”
Increasingly, dropping my kid off at school or daycare, and/or picking him up, pisses me off and ruins my day. I want my child to have an education. I do NOT want to hear about gifted and or “normal” children who could lace their shoes at two and tie them at three.
My child is slow. Yours is not. I do NOT want to talk to you. Go away.
