If You Cannot Say Something Nice, Say Nothing at All

I became so livid while reading this thread that I actually had to get up and walk away from my computer for a few moments. I was so mad that I had tears in my eyes. Believe me, if I'm mad enough to cry, someone better watch out. Some of the comments I read had my mouth literally hanging open. I couldn't believe that we had such narrow-minded, rude, insensitive jerks on this website. There were comments such as "i… Continue

The Type of Pain That Never Heals

The past few days have been very difficult for me. I've been doing so well for several months now. But reality hit me hard two nights ago, reminding me out of the blue that I should be getting ready to bring our baby into the world any day now. I would have been due next week. I would have given Mike the child he has so badly wanted all these years. Our little girl would be in our arms, knowing how very much we love her, and how badly we wanted her. Instead, my arms will stay empty. My heart wi… Continue

Why Do People Insist on "Cleaning" Their Registry?

CCleaner is a dangerous program. NO registry cleaner is ’safe’. There is also no evidence that 'cleaning' out the registry has any effect on the overall speed of a PC. It will speed up searches within the registry, but that has no effect on performance. There are a few misunderstandings about the Registry. People seem to think that cleaning the Registry will make the Registry smaller and easier to manage. Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. What you are doing is creating miniature gaps in t… Continue

Special Geek Savings on Sunbelt VIPRE AntiVirus and AntiSpyware

Sunbelt's VIPRE program has been receiving excellent press coverage. PC Magazine says that "VIPRE PC Rescue can indeed clean up in a situation where full-scale security software may not be able to install. Keep it in mind if you run into a system so gummed-up with Malware that ordinary solutions won't work." Sunbelt Software has agreed to give our community of Geeks ten dollars off on its AntiVirus and AntiSpyware program called… Continue

The Support of Friends will Carry You Through Anything

On behalf of both Mike and myself - thank you so much to everyone here in the Geeks community. The outpouring of love and support we have gotten the past few weeks has been so amazing. People I've never actually interacted with individually went out of their way to send small messages and whatnot, just to let me know we were in their thoughts/prayers, to express sympathy, etc. It means the world to me, knowing that so many of you felt the pain of our losing the baby with us. So many of you touch… Continue

My Angel Baby

In a fairy castle, Just beyond my eye My baby plays with angel toys, That money cannot buy Who am I to wish her back into this world of strife? No, play on my baby, You have eternal life. At night when all is silent, And sleep forsakes my eyes; I'll hear her tiny footsteps, Coming running to my side. Her little hands caress me, So tenderly and sweet; I'll close my eyes and Breathe a prayer, Embrace her in my sleep. Now I have a treasure, I rate above all others; I have known true glory, I am… Continue

Sad News - Life Goes On

Mike and I have publicly shared our joy over the past weeks with all of you. We know that many of you are like family to us, and we feel the same way about all of you. This is so hard to write, but I know I must. Mike and I lost the baby yesterday. I had a miscarriage in the afternoon. Physically, I'm doing ok now. I'm really worn out, and just "bleh" feeling. There's not much physical pain now, just a little. Emotionally, I am hanging in there. I alternate between sadness and anger, and just… Continue

So What is it That I Believe?

Normally, I will tell you all to never cross-post the same exact blog in more than one place. It's not good for your Google rankings! However, when it comes to this particular post, I could care less about any rankings. It was written in order for people to possibly understand me better - if they so choose. So without further ado: Awhile ago, I wrote two blog posts that hinted at my beliefs. I've never made secret the fact that I am a Witch, and have been for more than ten years now. I've… Continue

Kat's Doing WHAT?!

If you heard Chris' stream tonight, you already know! If you follow me on Twitter, you already know! If you don't do either of those things... I suppose I shall clue you in! Mike and I were talking earlier this evening, and well... we decided we're going to take the ultimate plunge, and get ourselves married! We haven't decided an exact date yet, but I promise to tell you when we do! It will definitely be before our baby is born, and before I get so far along I can't even stand up long enough t… Continue

Heading Into Week 6 - Baby Report

As you know, I've been struggling a lot so far. Almost every food I eat (or smell!) makes me sick - sometimes violently so. I'm exhausted all the time, even if I nap during the course of the day. After having two daughters already, and the son I lost in between them, I know full well that these two things should ease up some by the time I hit 12 weeks - so halfway there! I'm not even looking towards "the end" at this point. I'm taking things one day at a time, and taking care of myself the best… Continue

What Do You Get When a Kat and a Mouse Reproduce?

That's the burning question of the day, folks. Exactly what type of baby are we going to be having? Yes, I said 'we'. In case you haven't yet heard, I am expecting a baby sometime in late September. As my friend Phil said on our IRC network... "it's a case of in-breeding" between the mouse and I, since we originally met on WyldRyde. This wasn't something that was planned at this point in time, bu… Continue

My Newest Pride and Joy

After three months of false alarms and trouble, Miss Mykenzie Katherine made her entrance into the world last night!! She came at 5:29pm. Kenzie is 8 pounds, 1 1/2 ounces and 20 3/4 inches long. She has a ton of blonde fuzzy hair. And of course - she's absolutely perfect and precious! Nana got to be there, and help her be born, just like her older sister. It was again an amazing experience... except for the whole part of my daughter's blood pressure bottoming out completely at one point. That w… Continue

My Adventures with the Border Patrol

So I blogged this over on my personal blog, but thought I'd share it here, as well. I thought you all might get a good laugh at our expense. BTW: for the few who may not know, Mike is "Mouse" here and on WyldRyde, or MikeSpencer. <3 So yesterday, Mike took me all the way up North to visit Baxter State Park and to see… Continue

Can Anyone Explain Why Men are Obsessed with LOOKS?

*sigh* Once again, there are girls joining here who promptly proceed to do nothing more than post suggestive pictures of themselves. And once again, half the guys who are members here are pushing and shoving each other out of the way in order to comment on said girls' profiles. At the same time, there are all of us Geek girls who post actual good content... posts that make you actually use your brains. I will never understand. I know, I know... I should get it by now. Looks count far more than… Continue

Don't Blink - Take Nothing For Granted

Fourteen years ago today, Nov 19th, my best friend Nikki was killed in a car accident. Both of us were pregnant at the time. Her baby died with her. The shock of what happened nearly cost me Beka's life. It threw me into labor, and the doctors had one hell of a time stopping it. I was in the hospital for nearly a week. They wouldn't let me attend Nikki's visitation or funeral. My doctor tried to convince me not to visit her grave site when I was released, and sent home on bed rest. Yeah. If you… Continue

Come Catch me on my new Website and Blog!

Hey everyone! I wanted to let all of you know about my brand-new website, and blog. All of my blog posts from all three places I used to blog (including here) have all been moved over to the new home. I simply don't have time to keep up with so many different ones, so I decided to combine them. From today forward, I won't be blogging here, on Katzcorner (that site will be closed in the coming days), nor on Lockergnome. All of my blogs will be done on Continue

See you all on Sunday Night

So my work is finally done... at least as much as my brain will allow me to do. I had hoped to accomplish a lot more, but YouTube being down, and Chris' site being down a bit just didn't allow that to happen. I leave in about eight hours to head up north for the big wedding weekend! Much fun will be had (even if I do have to wear a stupid fancy dress!), and many pictures will be taken. Y'all have fun this weekend, and be good. For once, I am staying OFFline the entire time I'm gone. See ya on… Continue

Today is a Mess

Today is just not my day. I have a shitload of work to get done tonight, before I leave tomorrow. I'm talking... a LOT of work. So of course, YouTube is down for maintenance. Stay cool though, it'll be 100% again soon. I'm sorry, I CAN NOT STAY COOL. It's already midnight, and I have literally about five hours' more work piled up here. Add to that the stress of the wedding. Everyone is running around and packing tonight. Things have gone missing. People are freaking out. Do we… Continue
