@Vixen: lol! <3 I have had several litters of dogs (basset hounds, beagles, shih tzu, etc.), cats ('nuff said), gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish (do they count?), goats, a baby squirrel, a baby skunk, and I don't remember what else at this point. Some of them were from my childhood, which, admittedly is a few years in the distance at this point (lol!) and I'm not sure they count in terms of me raising them, but I remember the nommy little buggers when they all, inevitably, get to that stage... because they all do (including humans! Ouch!!).

@Koah: Janeway and Seven were important for the girls of the 90s, I'd say. It was really the first time we saw solid female characters (across series, excepting perhaps the XFiles, which still was a little too deferential to Mulder; but you could argue the same with Riker, imo), which, at that time, was a bit of a switch up from the "girls as secondary, superficial roles only" scenario which was so common before then... so yeah, I get it. I really enjoyed the series at the time, and it has actually held up fairly well over the years, imo... certainly better than DS9, for example!! <3

@Wildfire: Hi, great, you?

good morning everyone.

It's a very pretty Tuesday out there today (at least it is here) and I'm going kayaking in a little bit ... for the first time in months! I'm looking forward to it. But first, coffee and waking up! :3

What's on your agenda for the day?

@Wildfire: That's a good way of describing female leads in the 90s. <3
lol, speaking of which, I got my younger lady roommate into 3rd Rock From the Sun. She'd never heard of it. Now she loves it. :}

Good morning/afternoon.

Kayaking was fun. We saw several manatee and several dolphin. I think I saw a sea turtle and a ray or two (of one kind or another - they were pretty big), and the Gulf was incredibly calm today. It was hot, yet comfortable, and I only got a little sunburned :3 It was really good to get back out on the water. And now I'm just chillin' for a bit before I need to go figure out what I'm doing for dinner (pork chops, I think, of some variation and mixed greens, I think, with white beans/Mediterranean slant... and ... I'm not sure if anything else will make the cut for today)

@Aisukohi: Awww... although I'm glad you're feeling a little better, I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling a lot better.
Yes the kayak tour was an interesting thing to do. I'm glad I did it. :3

@Wildfire: Hey good morning! <3
Your kayak trip sounds beautiful!

@Wildfire: I'm good today. I spent yesterday reading and avoiding technology. Now I'm amped up to finish my projects that I've been putting off.
Time to clean and re-fill the hottub. lol. I still haven't done that. And I left my drained pond weeks ago, which needs to be pressure washed and re-filled. e.e [not looking forward to that project] But once it's cleaned and filled, my husband is going to re-boot the water feature.

How are you today?

@Wildfire: Ah man, I love having cat naps in the sun. It's been raining the last week here. Definitely needed the rain [I sound like a dad with that line]. Spring kicked off hottttt, like the middle of summer hot. So it was a nice break to have actual spring weather.
My normal everyday coffee has tasted weird the last few days and I'm not a fan. I wonder if my husband mixed the beans of another coffee brand in with it. <.<
But yes, Projects! yeah. I was determined a few weeks ago to finish the pond, I left all the stuff outside to do it, and now the stuff I left out has water and sun damage. Not bad- yet, but the stuff definitely lost a couple of years off its' life.
