I haven't completely given up blogging. Clearly, this is because I'm still getting something out of it. I love getting comments from you readers. After some reflection, I thought in this weekly update, I'd be a little more directive with you about my current needs, so that I could optimize on your inspirational and supportive comments. Here goes:
1) The internet is still destroying my brain. I'm now playing Scramble with XUP which is fun because she is not as skilled as Zoom who continues to kick my ass. What I'm trying to say is - XUP, please continue to support me by losing in Scramble. Zoom, I'm not going to play with you anymore, because it is damaging to my self-esteem.
2) My workplace is completely dysfunctional, and I can't blog about this. Let's just say I'm not empowered. I do need your encouragement, though. Generic workplace encouragement required. Refer to the motivational literature if necessary. I'm open to anything right now.
3) I'm not as stressed out this week thanks to the bucketfuls of St. John's Wort I've been ingesting. The stuff works, folks. No need for comments on this one.
5) I attended a Quaker wedding this week. It was beautiful in its non-ceremony, and interesting, but I discovered I couldn't be a Quaker because a) all the silence makes me uncomfortable; b) I like a bit more structure; c) I don't like the idea of opening the floor to just anyone. No need to comment on this one. I like the Quakers and my opinion here really means shit.
6) I'm getting another cat in the new year, and I'm looking for a really bloggable one, but not one that will pee in my bed. Suggestions?
7) I want to win a trip somewhere warm, and I would like people to send me contests I could participate in. Thanks.
Ok. That's the weekly update with directions for comments. Thank you in advance.

#1 - Have no fear. I will most definitely continue to lose at Scramble. I haven't played in yonks since I kept getting massacred by Zoom and quit. I'm actually not as fond of Scramble as I am of WordTwist -- would you be open to going there with me? I'm no good at that either,but I like it more.
#2 - Most workplaces are disfunctional. My workplace improved considerably once a small group of us made a pact to go out to lunch every Friday and blow off steam.
#6 - I think every cat is bloggable if you can find the right angle. I'm lucky mine happens to look like Antonio Banderas. You could go steal a Parliament Hill cat. It might have some great inside information
#7 - You should check with A&J, they're always winning stuff.
1. ARGH! Please don't dump me for XUP Aggie! You're getting better every day and soon you'll start beating me. Besides, it's not whether you win or lose, it's whether you love playing the game, and nobody loves it more than you and me.
2. If you have the power to change it, then change it. If you don't have the power to change it, then either find a better job or adapt to the dysfunctional culture. Use your 9 to 5 time to write a novel or do crafts. Phone in bomb threats periodically, or pull the fire alarm.
4. What's the 4th thing??
6. Take Robin and me with you when you go to pick out your bloggable new cat. We've been down this road before and we know what we're doing.
7. Yes, I concur with XUP. Consult the Frequent Contest Winners, A & J.
Thanks for the advice and encouragement. And thanks, both of you, for feeding my addictions. I really enjoyed that 3-way we just did.
Thanks for the advice on number #2. I need some inspirational literature to read on this. Suggestions?
The trip to the Humane society won't happen until the New Year. I will consult the experts on this.
#7 - OK, A&J, I need your help on this one!
Count me in.
Agie, I've been so busy looking at pictures of men in mesh shirts, that I missed responding to this. A four-way would have been great. I will play next Sunday. xo
