運動会

今日の子供達の元気さ加減は並じゃありませんでした。　見ているだけで疲れた。　マナも初めてリードなしで遊ばせてもらえて大はしゃぎ。　脱走しそうになるとハムとチーズで呼び戻し。　ちょこっと脱走したけど、ひとしきり走って帰宅したので、進歩進歩。　油断禁物。　とにかく運動会のような一日でした。

Hearing Loss

nobody@vox.com(martini) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:27:54 -0800

Our little family has relocated to somewhere in Alabama. There aren't much activities like New York. You definitely need a car to get around, and everything is at least 30-minute drive.

This is not permanent. We are thinking of this relocation to last about 8 months until the economy in New York picks up. So far it's been good. My pups both love the country life.

Then this relocation made us realize that Arnott may have a hearing problem. In New York, I never had to call out his name. He was always near us, at the leash distance. We lived in a small apartment, and walked in Central Park.

After we moved here, with much larger property, Arnott walks off leash or just roams about. The thing is he can't really hear. If I need his attention, I have to clap really hard, or stomp or bang something really hard.

This was a heart-breaking discovery as I still think he is a little pup. He is almost 13 years old. I know he is "senior" in dog-age. Still...

I get ready to go to bed, call his name. He's sleeping on his pillow. I pat him, and I just startle him despite the fact I was calling his name... I don't think this isn't a medical issue. I think it's simply his age issue.

Ahhh sigh...

According to this website below, Arnott is 68 years-old, and Mana is 44 years-old in human age.

It's Gonna Be OK

nobody@vox.com(Scoobywings) — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 22:48:52 -0700

Not right now, but one day, it will be OK. One day I will actually enjoy being single, I will know what to do with my freedom. Maybe I'll even make some friends, finally. My sponsor said I come across as aloof. Normally, this would hurt me, but I've heard it before, and I have even said in the past that I repel people. It is definitely something to figure out. So, I appear aloof...but I can't see it. I don't know what I'm doing, and if I did, I would stop. I want to be approachable and I'd love to have some friends. They just have to be intelligent and hysterically funny and like to go shopping and drink lots of coffee. And they have to think that I am hysterically funny, too.

It would also help if they liked dogs, and were interested in writing, or might want to be in band with me, or needed a roommate. And it would be great if they were vegan socialists with no TV's. But I won't be TOO picky.

Anyway, if I could ever turn off my own damn TV, I might be able to get closer to becoming the person that I want to be. A hysterically funny, intellectual, vegan socialist with a Pit Bull and no TV.

One day I'll have my yurt and my windmill, my organic garden, my Pit Bull, and my writing career. All while maintaining a flawless figure and unbelievably soft skin for someone of my (at this future time) maturity.

Maybe I should reconsider taking a writing class.

Who knows. I just know that one day it won't hurt like this and I'll be able to think rationally and be the woman that I have always dreamed of being. I never imagined myself as ending up alone, but maybe once I get used to it, it won't be so bad.

はい！ボール♪

nobody@vox.com(mike-neko) — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 07:23:41 -0700

ボール持ってきた！

ボールと遊んでるときが一番幸せなあぎんです。意外にもボールの端っこを噛んでるんですねぇ。あぎんの口にはちょっと大きすぎるのでしょうかね？私の元まで持ってくると・・・私にすぐボールを投げられると走るのが大変なので、ちょっと離れたところにペッと転がしていきます。賢いつーかムカつく。まっそこが可愛いんですけどね。

I try to translate my Japanese to English. Sorry my poorest English. I hope you can get my thinking.

It is the happiest time for Angin to play with the red ball. Anyway I noticed from this picture that He bit the edge of red ball. Maybe the ball is too large for the mouth of Angin.

Angin loves to bring the ball to me but he rolls it a bit away from me. He earns time. Coz Angin knows if I throw a ball to Angin immediately, he has to run fast. Lovely idea!

why isnt this thing labeled?!

nobody@vox.com(I_am_a_delicious_apple) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 06:14:44 -0700

A small woman in a hot pink dress with an albino frog in a bag stops traffic in a local Georgia WallMart.You've probably guessed by now that the identity of the woman in a hot pink dress with an albino frog in a bag is none other than your's truly. That is correct. The sighn below the frog tank was labeled "aquatic frog". I assumed it was an african dwarf frog and I thoght to my self this is just what I need! Why is it not on my shopping list! So I choose the liveliest one and the pet isle attendant madly chased it with a fishing net for a good 5 minutes before getting him into the plastic bag, all too happy to hand it over to me. My husband and I then head to the food isles and grab a few things for dinner, but after the 3rd or 4th person called out in wonder " look she's got a frog in a bag!" I began to plead for the exit, and after the 5th person my husband quickly agreed. We headed towards the checkout isle as fast as we could walk without jostling the frog too much. The cashier remarked that she had no idea WallMart carried amphibians. Then FINALLY we were out of there but I spotted a hungry looking dog that had obviously had puppies not to long ago wandering around the parking lot so I poured out some water for her.(Not from the frog's bag, from a bottle. My husband always keeps a bottle of water in the car.) When we got home I began to search the Internet for information on our frog,which my husband decided to name "7". I came across an article on how to tell an african dwarf frog from an african clawed frog. Here is what I found : African dwarf frogs have webbed front feet, while african clawed frogs do not. African clawed frogs come in albino, african dwarf frogs do not. So I thought I was buying an adult african dwaf frog, but I actually bought a juvenile african clawed frog!!!(This is a big deal because african dwarf frogs never get any bigger than a nickle and while african clawed frogs can get up to 5 inches!) also thanks to google, I was able to identify 7 as a male. Good thing I didn't buy two of them like my husband wanted. Well, it is not to big of a deal buying a bigger tank when 7 begins to grow, and I have had toads and frogs before so I know about feeding it live prey when it is bigger. My issue is with the label. Instead of just putting "aquatic frog" They should specify what speciese it is so that people know what they are dealing with and can also provide the correct care. The proper care of one speciese of frog can vary quite differently from the care of another. I wonder if the Walmart Company is even remotly aware that they are selling african clawed frogs?

PGとの生活

nobody@vox.com(mike-neko) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 05:47:40 -0700

PGとバカ息子

基本的に我が家は長期間のワンコのお預かりはやらないってコトに決めていたはずなのに・・　新潟から一匹のお嬢様ワンコがやってきたのは1週間前のお話。1ヶ月我が家に居候の予定です。早朝からヒン啼きしてみたり、トッピング無しのフードは絶対食べなかったり・・　（笑）現在色々と試されております。あはは（汗）　最初、娘がリードを持ったら脚側やらなかったもんなぁ（爆）　もちろん【こらぁ～PG！！あとぉー（怒声）】とか叫ばれて、がつんとリード引かれてましたがっ・・・(￣∇￣;) ﾊｯﾊｯﾊｯ　PGと娘・・　いい勝負ですわ。現在もトッピング無しフードを食べさせるべく、娘とPG日々火花ちらしあっております。近所の人たちには【あれ？3匹目？？】と聞かれまくり・・　そのたび説明してるけど、あああ・・・めんどくせぇ～(~_~;)　これからはそぉ3匹目って答えちゃおうかな（笑）

野球見にいきました

昨日は、ダンナ、あぎん、あたし、PGで、近所の野球場まで中学生の新人戦を見に行きました。結構長い間見てましたが2匹ともまるでいないかのように静か。脚側も完璧で野球場がある公園の中を歩いているとみなさん振り返ってみてくれます。お～！あたしたち目立ってる？なんてダンナと話しながら歩きましたね。途中出会ったチワワ2匹組にもボ～2匹組かなり穏やかに対応してました。えらいぞぉ♪　PGは今までとは全然違う生活を、まぁそれなりに楽しんでいるようです。おかげさまで私との距離も1週間でずいぶんと縮まった気がします。

Angin & PG

先週はあぎんが足を怪我してしまい、一応大事をとってPGは自宅フリーを許されてませんでしたが、今週は様子見ながらフリーにしてみたいと思ってます。あ～でもみかんがPさんのことまだ苦手みたいなんだよねぇ。まっのんびり気長に対応してみます。

About web proxies and anonymous web surfing

nobody@vox.com(torrin) — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 12:45:04 -0700

Proxy Servers

A proxy server is a kind of buffer between your computer and the Internet resources you are accessing. They accumulate and save files that are most often requested by thousands of Internet users in a special database, called cache? Therefore, proxy servers are able to increase the speed of your connection to the Internet. The cache of a proxy server may already contain information you need by the time of your request, making it possible for the proxy to deliver it immediately. The overall increase in performance may be very high. Also, proxy servers can help in cases when some owners of the Internet resources impose some restrictions on users from certain countries or geographical regions. In addition to that, among proxy servers there are so called anonymous proxy servers that hide your IP address thereby saving you from vulnerabilities concerned with it.

Anonymous Proxy Servers

Anonymous proxy servers hide your IP address and thereby prevent unauthorized access to your computer through the Internet. They do not provide anyone with your IP address and effectively hide any information about you and your reading interests. Besides that, they don t even let anyone know that you are surfing through a proxy server. Anonymous proxy servers can be used for all kinds of Web-services, such as Web-Mail (MSN Hot Mail, Yahoo mail), web-chat rooms, FTP archives, etc. bproxy.ru - a place where the huge list of public proxies is compiled. In a database you always can find the most modern lists, the Proxy are checked every minute, and the list is updated daily from various sources. The system uses the latest algorithm for set and sortings of servers by proxy, servers for anonymous access are checked. Results of Search always can be kept in file Excel.

Why Should You Use Anonymous Proxy Servers?

Any web resource you access can gather personal information about you through your unique IP address ?your ID in the Internet. They can monitor your reading interests, spy upon you and, according to some policies of the Internet resources, deny accessing any information you might need. You might become a target for many marketers and advertising agencies who, having information about your interests and knowing your IP address as well as your e-mail, will be able to send you regularly their spam and junk e-mails.

A web site can automatically exploit security holes in your system using not-very-complex, ready-made, free hacking programs. Some of such programs may just hang your machine, making you reboot it, but other, more powerful ones, can get access to the content of your hard drive or RAM. Everything a web site may need for that is only your IP address and some information about your operating system.
