I live in a small town in southern Wisconsin (population around 1600). I love animals, especially cats and dogs and I am known as Mom by a bunch of cats. I like gardening (both vegetables and flowers) and I like to read. I also like writing and I have published a chidren's book called Wanda Weird. It's the story of a nine-year-old girl who is bullied by some mean girls in her class and how she learns to deal with them. I work in the garden center at a Walmart in Madison, WI. In the off season, I work in back-to-school, Halloween, Christmas, etc. AKA - "Seasonal". But garden season is by far my favorite.

    I don’t know how Annie can see hugs and purrs or even kisses, unless they were candy kisses.

    I got my rental car yesterday – a 2024 Toyota Corolla with less than 10,000 miles on it. I’ve never driven such a new car before. It’s a very nice car, but I will feel so much more comfortable driving my old rust bucket 2009 Malibu again. After I picked up my car from Enterprise, I drove to my mechanic to get the cat food out of the trunk of my car, but my car wasn’t outside. It must be inside the garage. At least, it better be! I trust BJ completely not to steal the cat food from the trunk, but since I was not able to retrieve it yesterday and it’s the weekend now, I won’t be able to get there until Monday. And I’m down to the last crumbs of dry cat food in the house. So I’ll have to buy another bag today. The woman from the insurance company is going to look at my car on Monday. Then I will know how she wants to proceed as to repairs. I’m keeping my fingers crossed (I really do cross my fingers for luck sometimes!) that they will agree to fix it and that in a week or so I’ll have my car back.

    I’m making progress on the car repairs and car rental. My insurance company called and approved the rental car. I need to set up an appointment with Enterprise when I can pick up the rental. They are supposed to call me. The insurance company will decide if my mechanic will be fixing my car or if they would rather send it to a body shop. There was no body damage, but if they want it to go to a body shop instead, they will arrange that. I hope they’ll let my mechanic do it. I have cat food in my trunk. I need to get that out of there before they move my car anywhere (if they choose to do so).

    From yesterday’s comments, Gweedo it’s legal here Murray said, “NOT a solid guarantee but get the deer whistles on your front bumper and because of what you “run into” in that countryside DOUBLE UP on the whistles. WalMart has them, where I got mine.”

    I have a set of deer whistles, but there isn’t much of a bumper on my Malibu, so I never put them on. And those raccoons are so stupid, they run in front of traffic all the time. I see more road killed raccoons than any other animal.
