1. My Amazon.com Wish List

2. Full-time jobs for me and my partner
- We both lost our jobs this year, me in March and her just a week ago. My unemployment has run out and she's ineligible because she worked for a non-profit. We need full-time work, but with the way the job market is (I've been looking since March!), we also need all the help we can get. So if you have job leads in the St. Louis Metro-East area for any of the following, please e-mail me: administrative assistant, secretary, receptionist, file clerk, legal secretary, courier or delivery job that does not require a CDL. LGBT supportive companies are a plus, especially if they offer domestic partner benefits.

3. Donate to the ASPCA or a local animal shelter in your area. If the shelter is no-kill, that's even better, but I understand some areas don't have no-kill shelters. Save animal lives!

4. If you're looking to add a pet to your family, adopt from a shelter instead of going to a breeder. Unless you're looking for a show dog, there's really no true need for you to put more money into a breeder's pocket when shelters are overflowing. Shelter dogs are great! If you're set on a purebred, there are breed specific shelters out there. Some of them will even arrange transport if you're not local.

5. E-cards. I like funny, animated e-cards. My favorites are Hallmark's pink cat and green bunny, and also Maxine.

6. Scratch-off lotto tickets.

7. Two tickets to a St. Louis Blues (NHL) home game. Preferably 100-level or lower, but beggars can't turn down the nose-bleeds. :op

8. Help paying for the tattoo that I want. My guess is that it'll cost at least $100, if not more.

9. Treats for my dog. She likes Pupperoni, Beggin' Strips, and Snausages. Basically the soft, chewy kind of treats. She won't eat crunchy stuff, and she doesn't like peanut butter.

10. Collectible shot glasses. I started a shot glass collection last Christmas and wish to expand it.

You can contact me at asifyousaw@gmail.com to get any additional information you may need. Thanks in advance.

2. Um, well, that's an interesting thing... Do you have a bachelors in business and/or experience in the field? My company is hiring, but under those conditions.

Well, that's a shame. I wish you luck in the future, though.

I adopted my newest pet, a cat from a local shelter just a little over a week ago. He is a cute little guy and loves cuddling with anyone who sits still long enough.

Certainly. Sorry it took a couple of days before I had time to take and upload pictures.

#3 -- does it count towards this that my bf and I found a kitten running around in traffic this summer and took him in and tried to bring him to a shelter/rescue and NO ONE would take him because they were all "full" and we got treated like we were wrong for trying to help him -- so instead we've kept him and spent about $1000 we really needed for other things on all his vet care because we didn't want to see anything bad happen to the little guy :( It's really awful how bad the shelters are strained so that they have to turn people away. I don't have any more to give now, but I hope that I can get involved more when I'm not so broke.

Oh yea.. we've still got him. I mean at that point after shelling out all that money, you pretty much have to keep 'em! We've named him Sir Didymus and he's really sweet. When I'm home he splits his time between running around like a maniac and sitting on my lap, purring. He's about 6 months old now, very healthy, already got him neutered so no more kittehs!! I have 2 other cats (Monchichi and Atticus), both also rescues.

This is Sir Didymus the night we found him. To give you an idea of where he was, the intersection we live at is so busy there's about a car accident a week. He was emaciated, so flea ridden he was anemic, had ear mites, and tons of worms.
Soon after we found him:

More recently -- all handsome and clean. Check out his polydactyl toes!

And loving with his friends:

(Att is the black one and Munch is the grey)

Atticus is a massive cat. He's 16 lbs and not overweight! He's very clever about getting into things, and if he had opposable thumbs we'd be in trouble!! He gets annoyed at the kitten a lot and we always joke if he could just team up with him they would be unstoppable!! Att's brains and Sir Did's Thumbs!! :D
