Hello most humans and many others,
Well, Missy Linda and Tio Kane got the tree chopped up pretty well with no excitement and no accidents. I don't really want bad things to happen, but since I never get to go anywhere any more, a little break from the boredom would be nice once in a while. What if you had to just sit on the dining room table or a dining chair or the kitchen counter all the time, and what's right there is all you could see? You would know what I mean then.
After they chopped up the tree in the front yard, they started cutting down some dead shrubs in the back yard that were so big Missy Linda couldn't cut them by hand. When they got about one and three-quarters of three chopped away, Missy Linda bent the chain on the chainsaw. They were too hot and tired to go back to Home Depot and get a new chain, so they just quit. I didn't mention that they had already been back once to get a new chain , did I? Missy Linda says she has trouble remembering to keep it straight and to not try to saw at weird angles. She loved the stupid saw though. She wore this stupid helmet with ear protectors and a big face shield of mesh. She thought she looked quite cute in the whole get-up.
It's when she's acting like that when I am kind of glad she doesn't take me places. I try to look on the bright side, see?

Good Day to Chop Firewood
Hello most humans and many others,
I'll swear, I don't think I'll ever figure out you humans. Today, Missy Linda and Tio Kane are sawing up the top of one of the big maple trees in the front yard. Don't worry. They won't be up on ladders or anything so I don't expect any entertainment value from the whole thing at all. That would be way too much fun for me!
The big chunk of the tree is not up high anymore at all. It's lying across the yard since it mysteriously blew down, was struck by lightening, or otherwise became unattached from the rest of its trunk. It didn't hit the roof or break the window so Missy Linda says that's about all she can ask with the kind of luck she has. There's probably not really any danger that there will be any chainsaw injuries because Home Depot rents these electric saws that look like giant electric knives for people like Tio Kane and Missy Linda.
Missy Linda likes to tell this story about how she knows someone who bled to death after accidentally hitting himself in the thigh with a chainsaw. I think she does that to make everyone think she is doing something perilous. Nice try, Missy Linda. Maybe next time we'll be concerned. Now take your antihistamines and get crackin'!

Not the Best of Times
Hello most humans and many others,
I have probably lost a lot of you guys already because I haven't been keeping you up on my life. I know I have dropped the ball for awhile now. Missy Linda doesn't remember to let me have a turn at the computer when she has other things on her mind. Also, I got moved to a chair in the dining room, and then a jacket or something got thrown over me. You know what you humans say, "Out of sight, out of mind."
I've been hearing Missy Linda and Tio Kane talk, and it sounds as if we are going to be moving. I think that they do not want to move at all, but I don't know why. Missy Linda says things about having lived in this house longer than she's lived in any house her whole life. They talk about how they will have to get rid of so many of their things, and they don't know where to start.
I don't really understand their problems. I'm pretty sure that I'll be thrown into a shopping bag and taken to wherever it is we are going. I just hope that someone remembers to take me out when we get there

What's in a Name?
Hello most humans and many others,
Well, school is finally out for Missy Linda and Tio Kane. Missy Linda had told me that she was going
to take me to her class this semester. She said that she would take my picture with her classmates. After hearing about them for all that time, I wanted to meet them. Actually, some of them had been in other classes with her so I had heard about them for a long time.
Her friend Marnie sounds like she is really cool even though she likes a lot of the same things Missy Linda does. "Hoodie Guy" is a super nice young man with a little daughter. He is the same age as Mr. Nick. Missy Linda thinks he has so much talent for writing that she wants him to get busy and publish some books. She says she will spend her grocery money to buy his work. There are two other young men that Missy Linda really likes who were in the class. She says that at first the guys are always a little shy around her because they probably think of her as a mother-type person. She says she tries to nip that idea in the bud. Before long everyone acts like she's just any other classmate.
"Pirate Woman" is someone whom Missy Linda just never could click with. Missy Linda started calling her that because in another class, all that woman wrote about was pirates. The two of them just like totally different types of stories and totally different types of everything.
Missy Linda would get mad at me if I didn't explain that these nicknames are not derogatory in any way. They are just descriptive terms to identify people when she doesn't know their real names. Then by the time she finds out their names, the nicknames are imbedded into her brain. She is so weird.
For two semesters she had a classmate whom she called "Smoky Laptop." That was his nickname because he always used a huge laptop in class, and he was a heavy smoker. I wonder what other people call her, don't you?
