Pardon me while I raid your sidebar o' comics. That you have a comics sidebar, on top of the 'taking a year off from life to deal with health' thing I've picked up on from my looking around, kind of freaks me out. Are you me?
I surfed here via Feministe; your comments always crack me up, so I wanted to put a layout with the screenname. Cute pups.
She only cares about the TV when a doorbell rings, like it does in this new, oh so annoying commercial. The doorbell sounds after the guy's in the house, so I always agree with Dixie and think it's ours, but it's on TV, and I have to remind her of that fact.
Wickett changes the channels in this house, he's the man. Mom lays on couch, accidently changes channels as well, but Wickett likes to snuggle up to her and he often changes channels and once turned the cable off! "Pet me."
About ableist language on my blog to any new readers - there is going to be some on old posts (pre November '09, I'd say roughly).
I'm not necessarily proud, but I'm not going to go back and edit the posts to clear them up, even though I want to and go look, I've been a good little activist all along!
But that's a lie and it's disingenuous. It's also a disservice to the few people who do read the posts.
On a personal note, it's a disservice to me. I can go look at my posts from 2008 and compare them to ones in 2010 and see how I've grown as a writer and as a human being. It's nice to see how far we've come in life, you know?
I am truly sorry if anything here hurts somebody, and even if it's on a post from 2006, do not feel shy to tell me - e-mail me at otrumpets at yahoo dot com or comment. (I get a notification with every comment, so if you do comment on an old one, I'll know and reply.)

This is a good place to start. It's an ongoing series.
The posts are "101" so feel free to ask questions, as long as they're not "FREE SPEECH!!!!" or "Why does this matter?"

AUGH! I had a nice long reply and firefox or blogger ate it.
Thanks for visiting and commenting.
I like your blog name, I'm adding it to my blog sidebar, so I'll know that hey, maybe I should look there from time to time.
My comics sidebar is longer than yours. I win!
I was just glad we can have more than one links section - I had them all lumped together - videos, comics, blogs, and odd websites. What a mess.
Thanks again. I like your name, it makes me think of French.
Is Dixie looking for the remote control?
Is she sick of the XFiles?
Just kidding sweetie.x
I don't know how or why doofus got like that.
