I know the actors and actresses need time off but I miss all my fall season shows during the summer. I have begun to watch "The Closer" and "Inside" and am anxiously waiting for "Wanted" to start. I didn't watch the first season of "Rescue Me" and was told by many its one of those shows you would have needed to start watching from its first season. I want fall to return.

I love animals and would have a ton if I had the room for all of them. Right now I have 3 cats and a dog. My oldest kitty is Max he is a regular ole American short hair. He is my big boy. (at least for now) He is 22 pounds. He is 8 years old. Next comes Ebony she is a Bombay. She is the most vocal cat we have. She loves to talk (meow) to you all the time. She is a retriever cat. (that is part of her bread) you throw her a toy and she will retrieve it and bring it back to you. Then comes the real kitty. His name is Oscar he is 9 months old. He is a Rag-doll kitty. he is a tri-color Rag doll. His face looks like a raccoon. His bread is known to be quite large as well. je is 9.5 pounds right now at 8 months. He is one big fur ball. All white with grey/blue markings and Mediterranean blue eyes. He is a beauty. Last but not least is Mindy she is our dog. She is a Sheltie mix. A mut. :) she is 10 years old. She is an extremely friendly dog. She would love to be a lap dog but is a bit to big for that. One day I want to have a black bear as a visitor pet. When we retire up into the mountains of Tennessee.

My name is Mary and I am a 47 year old disabled woman. I am in a wheelchair. I spend a lot of time at home playing on the computer or watching TV. I am married. I have been married for 7 years. I was married previously for 13 years. I have a daughter who is now 20 as a result from my previous marriage. I have worked at several jobs in my life but the two main jobs I worked before my disability were for Trans Union Credit Bureau as a collection supervisor. I was there for 9 years. Then I took a job for University Hospital as a senior bookkeeper for radiology. I left that job when I went on disability due to a heart condition.

My husband and I went to Tennessee for our vacation this past June. What a GREAT place to live. In the valley are everything you could ever want from every kind of food to every kind of shop. But up in the mountains the majestic of the mountains is breath taking. That is where we want to retire someday. Way up in the mountains where there is peace, beauty, fresh air and bears. I am a total bear freak. I own over 300 bears. Stuffed, figurines,pictures everything. (nothing that would EVER come from a real bear.) The weather was quite warm in the valley but up in the mountains it was perfect. I was in bear heaven down there. We say a dinner show. It was at the Blackbear Jamboree. It was a great dinner and a great show. We didn't have a lot of time down there since we were only there from Friday to Sunday but next time we go we are going to stay for at least a week to enjoy all there is to see there. A wonderful vacation.
