I am very crazy about my Siamese cats. I love music especially jazz and great standards, although I don't mind a little country thrown in there.I love to read and watch mysteries, and my favorite show is Monk.

Chicken Soup
There is no loss like that of one's mother. Later, when you're ready, there are two books that helped me a lot. Dr. Christiane Northrup's book Mother-Daughter Wisdom is one and Motherless Daughters is another. Glad to have you in the Disabled Lesbians group here at DS.

Sorry
Sorry about your house getting hit. I hope they fix it quick. Of course it has to be raining. The chat does not work for me on my end anymore. I have written DS and they keep giving me these stupid answers. I did everyting they told me to do and it still doesn't work Ican see who's on and if someone typs to me I can't type back. I am going to send a message to my friends so they won't think I am ignoring them. Good luck on a quick fix. Naomi xo
