I HATE my basement...sometimes... especially when the big black hole in the corner starts gurgling. The sump pump was replaced a month or so ago. Today's rain is the first good one since then. Heavy rains and stong thunder (so strong that the dog won't go out for his evening dump). So what happens just before bed? The high water a

Today, as with the past three Saturdays I took my bunny, Simon, to a local rehab facility. It's amazing how something small and furry and can make so many seniors oooh and ahhh. This week two women said, "Oh, he's getting so big" and "He's starting to grow into those ears, isn't he?" It's an amazing thing to see people who are non-vocal respon

he said he didn't want his pup to get to be 70lbs and un-socialized around other animals. THAT'S what I call good, responsible ownership. He lives up the street from us so we're hoping that our dogs can socialize regularly. Sounds like a good idea. Set up some play dates and see how it goes. I also

Many times (usually late night) - but also right now, I can't add an article. I just keep getting a login box but it doesn't do anything. When I click on "My Blog" all of my articles show up but I still can create a new article. What's up with this? Thanks!

stepped out of the truck for a minute to check my load and the little bugger locked the door. Hee..he. I never leave my car running with my dog inside. He's been known to put it in neutral. My luck (pessimism showing) he'd lock then doors then put it in neutral and roll down the hill I just parked

I'm so glad you're all OK. Gosh what a scare that must have been. I don't know how things are handled on a base, but I'd definitely report this dog's behavior. This might have happened before or might happen again. What would have happened if it had been a child walking their dog? I'd definitly report it. A similar thing happened to me too. I was walking my LEASHED dog on the sidewalk when a golden retriever (supposed to be good nature

Autumn Woods Walking in the woods is a good way for me to relax when I am angry or upset. Anne Frank, in her diary, explains my feelings very well. She and her family were forced into hiding during World War II. They lived there two years, without ever going outside, before they were discovered. She wrote, "The best remedy for those who are afra

You sure don't strike me as being a pessimist Thanks Trudy. It's nice to hear that all the work I've done over the past few years is paying off. I have, and continue to change. I've gone from almost empty to half empty to just ha

Hi Everyone, I'm a born pessimist. My glass is almost empty most of the time. I read this book titled Learned Optimism . It had lots of ideas for how I could change to be more optimistic. So my questions are: 1. Are you an optimist or a pessimist? 2. Do you think a pessimist, like me, can change?

Kenny, If you take the kids out of the question completely, do you want to be married to this woman? I'm getting the sense that you don't. In which case I'm not going to keep asking questions about the relationship and giving suggestions on how to make it work. If the answer to the question is 'no' then it's time to move on.

I looked out the window today and saw the first change to fall colors. Some green leaves are turning yellow here in Michigan. I'm really a Spring person but when I read that my Grandmother's favorite season was Fall I have a new found appreciation. Camping in the fall is the best too! How about you? What's your favorite season? <!-- Ju-Anchor-Foo
