Unpopular with some people, but I believe some tools are the nature of the beast to communicate to an animal what is acceptable and could potentially save their lives (running after cars, for one example) during the duration of their lives. With Logan, we tried E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G to calm her down during the course of her…
Read MoreIn light of the current times, where religion has become the center point of all dissension, division, extremity, resulting death and repulsive hypocrisy and behavior, I beg my “Christian” friends & family to tolerate my rants and raves in regard to religion in general and approach my lines of questioning with a realistic and open…
Read MoreDiscipline was strictly enforced in what was left of my family. “Spare the rod, spoil the child” was the given motto. Not that I wasn’t the perfect child, but I did occasionally try to push things as far as I could get them to go. There was that fine line of antagonization that meant I’d…

I’ve always been curious what it would be like to have a three-day weekend every week and was eager to give it a try, but…
Read MoreAs my bio states, I’ve been a blogger for over 20 years–before blogging was a thing. I referenced it pretty much as my online journal.

Read MoreThis must be Hack Week. While I’m still locked out of my hacked Facebook account, I woke up this morning to about 600 emails subscribing me to about just as many sites and subscriptions. ‘Spent the day updating passwords for all of my accounts and at the end of the day decided to sit down…
