A cold snap is blowing this way.  I was sitting at the computer near my window and saw what looked like a weird squirrel on the pile of wood nearby.  Nope...It was Nu Nei my newly adopted feline.  The door blew open and she snuck out.  When I went out to get her she ran away from me.  I got really panic stricken because it was her first time out since she's been here.  She eventually snuck in when I wasn't looking.  I guess she knows where the food is.  Nue Nei was rescued by Madie at Every Cat Counts.

I really need a good job.  In the meanwhile, I am trying to pay for cat food by making a buck on the internet.  So far, thats's been about it- a buck. My eyesight is almost gone from seeing so many ponzi schemes and my mouse is just about dead from clicking endlessly on so many traffic exchanges.  I have adopted a new cat, and she keeps my lap warm while I sit at my old computer wishing I could afford a new one.  At least I can blog with an old one.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;!-- begin(Yahoo ad) --&gt;&lt;a href="http://ypn-rss.overture.com/rss/32057/&lt;?php the_ID() ?&gt;/click/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ypn-rss.overture.com/rss/32057/&lt;?php the_ID() ?&gt;/img/?url=&lt;?php echo urlencode(get_permalink()) ?&gt;&amp;amp;pid=8873806430" alt="Ads by Yahoo!" border="0"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;!-- end(Yahoo ad) --&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22309955-113968449611595546?l=neilemon.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://neilemon.blogspot.com/feeds/113968449611595546/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22309955&amp;postID=113968449611595546' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22309955/posts/default/113968449611595546'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22309955/posts/default/113968449611595546'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://neilemon.blogspot.com/2006/02/i-am-senseless-clicker.html' title='I am a senseless clicker...'/><author><name>Neil Davidson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08596815846326287855</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://members.petfinder.org/~NJ07/images/ming.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
