If you were wondering where the holy hell Jenn I Am has gone, you can find her here. jenniam.com is defunct, so update your links, yo.

Regarding ghost theories, have you thought that maybe the ghosties are just protesting that the mirror was affixed with double-sided tape? The malevolent beings used their psychic powers to cause it to fall! Oh sure, leave it up to us to have ghosts who disapprove of shoddily-made medicine cabinets, instead of cool ghosts who’d, say, take over our bodies and make us sing and dance around.

You had mentioned in an entry a few months back about taking a pill for your facial hair. Did it help? I am interested in your experience before I try it. It wasn’t a pill, it was an ointment – Vaniqa. And no, it didn’t work for me, though it’s possible it might work for you! (It’s kind of pricy, though)

when are you getting internet over at the smallville house? It depends on when Fred and the spud move over there – at this point, Fred’s thinking it’ll be the end of April or very beginning of May, so it’ll be a few more weeks at least.

We’ve also always bought the buyers a home warranty and frankly I just thought it was standard procedure. Next time I might not be so nice, thanks to you. I had never actually heard of a home warranty before, and I don’t really even know what it is – Google will help me out with that in a few minutes – which is why I was resistant. As long as we’re not required to do anything difficult, I won’t resent the buyers for requesting one.

Do you still wonder whether Mr FancyPants will ever come home and does it bother you that you might not be there if he comes back one day? Actually, I think Mr Fancypants is too busy flying around the world to ever be bothered to come home. Seriously though, yeah – I do worry that he’ll show up home and we won’t be there to greet him. I do intend to say something to the buyers when we close at the end of May – “If a fluffy black cat prances across the yard, goes upstairs and shits on the carpet, could you give us a call?” – but to be honest, I think he’s gone for good. I prefer to think that he’s found a new home with a family that properly adores him, but at the time he disappeared, we were having an issue in the area with coyotes, so that might just be a pipe dream on my part.

I’ve decided that from now on, when I have to join something online (say, the RiteAid site, so I can submit my name and address for a rebate) and they demand a title, I’m going to use “Dr” as my title. Dr. Robyn And3rson. Has a ring to it, no? (I bet it’ll be less than a month before I’m getting junk mail with special offers for Dr. Robyn And3rson.) I can’t decide what my specialty should be, though. I thought of proctology or veterinary medicine, but those are too obvious. I want something obscure, yet cool. Suggestions?

“Please, lady? Can’t I go out?”

Previously 2006: “Hmm,” I said, like that meant something to me. 2005: Just because the fuckers are talking to me doesn’t mean I’m obligated to listen to their bullshit, does it? 2004: What exactly the fuck was I supposed to be doing at 5:30 on a Sunday afternoon, running for fucking president? 2003: No entry. 2002: Apparently the Committee for Deciding Who is Hellbound was meeting in the waiting room. 2001: “Jesus has arrived in Madison,” he said nonchalantly. 2000: Now that, my friends, is wickedly fast. ]]>

  1. Not sure about how cool the specialty is, or even if there will be enough room to input it, but my favorite word is otorhinolaryngology. heh

  6. Our buyer’s agent always includes a home warranty on offers. I know so many people who have ended up needing to use theirs, I’d probably pay for it on my own if I hadn’t just bought a house. If you’re that offended, tack $485 or whatever back on your counter-offer so the buyer can at least roll it into the financing.

  7. As Jenn above me said: a feline psychologist!
    “Dr. Robyn Anders0n – Feline Psychologist.” Oooh that has a nice ring to it! 😛

  11. I am a daily reader, but a rare commenter. I’ve noticed you’ve been answering questions, so maybe you’ll answer mine, even though it’s vague, and may not even be for you. I can’t remember if I read this on your blog, or if it was on Fred’s blog one of the days you linked to him for us to read something, but one of you mentioned re-reading either The Stand or The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King, then mentioned another book that you would re-read when you got done, because you were in the mood for epic novels. Or maybe you said long-assed books. Either way, I love the Stephen King books, and I’d love to know what other book you were talking about so I could purchase it for my own reading pleasure. Books are my crack, so thanks in advance for helping me out!

  12. I but in Dr. on a form once. I now get offers for discounted subscriptions for my waiting room 🙂 I just got a vet catalog for condolence cards, appt reminders, and business cards. I’m waiting for them to send me the supply catalogs, my exam rooms are pretty bare 🙂

  14. Day-O!
    Feline psychology sounds right up your alley, but I kind of like “infectious diseases specialist.” You know, like Dr. House. 🙂 “Epidemiologist” sounds more obscure, though.

  15. I usually put “Her Majesty” when I am asked for a title. And, yes, I do have a few bits of junk mail that arrive that way.

  16. OK, peeing myself at Leslie.
    I’m totally using HRH (her royal highness) on my next application form.

  17. My real estate agent had me ask for a home warranty and my sellers gladly gave me one. Let me tell you though they are not much 🙁 All they do in reality is figure out ways =not= to cover anything. And then at the end of the year they bug you to death to renew the non-coverage at an even higher rate. No thanks.

  18. Dr. And3rson has a great ring to it.
    My father in law’s name got mixed up with a Dr’s on a cruise once and he never bothered to change it. He thinks seeing Dr. on all his cruise-related mail is too funny. They even put it on his name plate on his room when he goes on cruises.

  19. I think being a Dr. of Parapsychology would be appropriate. Then you could go on ghost hunts and laugh at the kooks.
