Cool site!

May. 24th, 2008 09:27 am
Someone from the UK in [livejournal.com profile] cat_lovers posted about their cat, Oscar Wilde Mogg-Monster, and that led to comments about moggies.

I didn't know what moggies meant, so I googled it. I found this very cool site that gave the origin of world-wide terms and phrases. Ah yes, now I remember. Moggie is a UK term for alley cat or stray. Our cats are all moggies. I love my moggies! They're the BEST!

The term "wiseacre" caught my eye. Now in our culture this has now evolved into "wise ass" for the most part, but I remember it from my childhood. My link goes to wiseacre.

Hey Bie! This term comes from Dutch! Isn't that cool?

Now to get dressed and drag Loki to the vet for his Rabies and other vaccinations. Where's my particle mask for the smoke?
When the jerk radio host, Dr. Bill Wattenburg, didn't respond to my emails (emails #1 & #2, email #3), I gave him the benefit of the doubt and waited a couple of weeks before trying one last time to get answers to my questions. Because really, I want answers to my questions from an expert! He covered for another radio host on Wednesday, so I know he's not on vacation. Here's my last attempt:

Dr. Bill,

I've given you more than two weeks to reply to my responses to your challenge. You've stated you're open to a dialogue if people will explain their beliefs but they never reply. Blocking my email address after sending an insulting reply isn't honest or right. I did respond to your challenge, without being insulting to you. You either ignored my emails or blocked my address. Well surprise! I have more than one email address.

If you don't respond to me this time, all the emails are being forwarded to the Station Manager at KGO. They need to know the kind of people they have representing them on the air.

All I want are answers to my questions from a certified expert. I'm open to having my opinion changed on nuclear power. I can't believe you won't step up to this challenge to win someone over to your side.

I walk my talk. Do you? If you don't, you have now lost any respect I had for you. I will put you into the pigeonhole I have for people with great knowledge and no wisdom and let it go. You're already partly into that pigeonhole.

Sincerely,
Linda M---------


**edit** This was a forward of my last reply to him and included both the reply and my original email.

If he doesn't reply or if he does in an insulting way, I'm going to follow through on my threat.

Somehow, I'm enjoying this a little too much.
