Holiday Weekend Photos will Replace Photo Scavenger Hunt for this week.

Easter Dinner At Alex and Amber's In Peterborough


This is a busy weekend with alot of travelling on our part.
The beginning of the weekend was yesterday.....of course! And we travelled to the vacation district to Alex and Amber's University apartment on Good Friday, for a Holiday meal.

We took Nanny Tucker up too. She is 94 now.
It was a great drive up north and a snowy drive home.
Our balmy temperatures have been replaced by blistering cold with lots of wind and weird fine snow or freezing rain.

We moved the tables into the livingroom from the dining room for more space.

Candy kitty was curious about the smell of Easter Chocolates in the bag.
Actually I don't think she could care less about he chocolate, but really wanted the
plastic wrap I had put around the gifts.

"I want in There!"

Nanny Tucker

Kitty resigned to the fact that she is not gonna get to eat the plastic wrap.

The empty dining room.
See all the booze on the bar?
Amber and Alex have been having formal fancy drink parties.
They charge $10.00 a head and everyone has to dress up!
They are making a profit from it.
Anything to earn money for food on the table!\
Smart idea!

Candy Kitty lookin all cute

Amber is shining the pet lazer on the floor, and Carl and Candy are scheming to catch it!

Candy started to get a bit excited and broke a rule and walked on the end table.
Amber is scolding Candy

Candy getting a "calm Down" hug from Amber
Make note of the plant pots on the book case, for the future!

Me playing Kitty-Paws with Candy

Oh nice stretch while playing

Upp now she has all 4 paws and mouth into the play

One excited jump too many and Candy knocked the cactus off the book shelf all over Amber!
Al is despirately trying to vacuum Amber. Hehe

This is when Amber discovered the cactus and dirt was down her back

eeeewwww! It's everywhere!

And the men get out their war tools and go to work on the dirt

News About My Blogger Posting and Editing Problem

Well I finally found out what my Blogger Problem was. After "El Rato" helped me all he could, I was forced to send trouble tickets to Blogger.
I sent several a week for several weeks and got no responses from Blogger.

I could not highlight one piece of text on my posts in the Compose window of the Edit feature.

This meant I was forced to do all my posts in Html only.
I can do it, but I am not skilled at it and it takes me hours and hours to do one post. Especially if it has alot of photos in it!

In despiration I took my computer (which is new and has Windows Vista on it) and I showed Alex what was happening.
In three seconds he fixed it.
He deleted the newest Internet Explorer that came with the Vista, and replaced it with Firefox.

Aparently the newest Internet Explorer is Ass! It has so many incompatibility bugs with java, it isn't funny.

It would be a conflict of interest for me to tell what Internet/tool company(that many of us Blog folks makes use of) Alex works for, but he told me to make sure that Blogger knows that the Help Tech of that company solved the problem that they would not even acknowledge in a return of my trouble ticket. And it was in Blogger's best interest to pimp their own (google) product of Firefox in this situation, and they did not even do that.

I have used Firfox from pretty much the beginning of my Blogging. I only made the switch when I got Vista because I was hoping that MicroSoft had improved their Internet Explorer when they upgraded it to a newer version. Oh yeah, I was wrong to assume that!

Just another dumb day in Bloggation where I am shown the "simple"way to solve another computer problem! I honestly don't know what folks who have no real humans in their life to turn to when they have Blog problems do in these drastic situations? Do they just give up and stop posting?

I am so lucky for having The Men in my world all so knowledgable in Computing and Web developement.

So my Glorious Thanks Goes to Alex who cooked the most amazing meal on Friday and Amber And Alex for all of their Hospitality, and for My Great Tech Support Son Alex who fixed my Blog Problem!!!!!!

"I Ain't Afraid of No Ghosts"- Ghostbusters



When I was put on the same path as PSICAN a few months back, I never would have thought there would be enough spooky happenings in Ontario to have the PSICAN team active with some members checking out reports of hauntings, most weekends.

There was alot going on this week, and I was fortunate to be given the oportunity to travel to a Post Secondary education facility in Toronto to investigate reports of hauntings in the building.

The night was not scarey, but we did get action on video and it was loud bangs that could not be explained and some really cool light shows. Like fireflies flying super fast and being caught on video with my night vision video recorder.

This ole investigation was not quite typical. We actually were at the location from 11:30PM to about 4:30AM. Now it is creapy enough walking through a deserted building at any time. Make it the witching hour and the imagination could really go squirrelly.
Thank goodness no one from our team was a screamer or a jump-in-fright-er.
We made light of the atmosphere and really tried hard to discount occurrances.
In the end we had one re-occuring noise that was really loud and it would happen in clusters.
We heard footsteps in the hall, a sound that was like someone was manically using a staple gun in a locked room, and we got some "fairy lights" zooming around a room.

I got to meet a lady from my area, who will share rides with me when it is appropriate, so that was great! Nice to know there is more than one ghost hunter in York Region.

I got to meet the student who had interviewed me for her term paper, and I got to work again with Chris, who was pretty much the leader. We were so decked out!
flashlights and bottled water, Tim Hortons coffee and timbits, pop corn, cookies, chocolate and egg salad sandwiches.
Chris thinks we need to open a PSICAN catoring service.

I might be able to put a clip of a video up.
It will be a while though cuz I have to get Alex to make it into a format so I can show a clip on here.
I haven't looked through my photos yet.
