What Affect On YOU Does Music Have?? ~ ~ ~

We all have varying tastes in music. Like the political spectrum with polar opposites from left to right and everything in between, bloggers' musical preferences also are widely varied. I have written before on the topic, and included a link to my favorite online station. While sitting on ice today... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Been Quite Awhile, But Alas, I've Been Blocked . . . . (Sigh)

What is it with people? You can dish it out, leave sniping, barbed comments, but evidently can't take it. One particular blogger left a pretty ascerbic comment on one of my blogs. I did not delete, did not block, just accepted that we mightily disagree on certain subjects. So today, I left a... Sign in to see full entry.

~ ~ ~ Disappointment with Life ~ ~ ~

I was sitting here, cozied up to a pack of ice against my spine, thinking about disappointments in life. There've been several lately for me, and certainly for many Americans. Personally speaking, my back is not cooperating, hence the ice (and a day off work). For a significant minority of Americans... Sign in to see full entry.

Are Fat Squirrels a Sign of a Long, Cold Winter?

I'm sitting at my computer waiting to connect again w/ my Scottish friend. We try to "chat" via IM about once a week. Of course this doesn't include the daily emails back and forth. While waiting for her, I'm looking out my window at the newly mown grass, courtesy of my nephew, Caleb. The leaves are... Sign in to see full entry.

My Sweet Bea Loves to Run and Play but Hates Being Pelted w/ Hail! (Photos)

You asked for it, you got it -- some photos of my adorable little Sweet Bea (for short) AKA Miss Beasley. It was originally thought that she was a corgi/terrior mix, but in talking with her previous caretaker/temporary mama, she has now concluded that Sweet Bea is actually part Basenji/Corgi. This...

I Don't Have TIME to Write! Not With Miss Beasley At My House. . . . .

My short list of pals on Blogit might have noticed (or not) that I've not written in four days. Why, you ask? Let me tell you. Right now I'm looking at an adorable face with big brown eyes, large pointed ears and a happy and inquisitive face. Yes, I've been talked into taking a rescue dog into my...

Welcome A NEW Dog? Does JanesO Have the Emotional Fortitude???????????????

This morning I was going about my usual routine, content and generally satisfied with life. My peaceful existence was quickly shattered with the arrival of fellow nurse practitioner, Karla. Delightful woman, she has been a wonderful mentor and friend. Today, however, she arrived with her digital... Sign in to see full entry.

Too Much Can Happen in 24 Hours. Too Much, and Really Nothing At All . . .

Yesterday was one of those days I just wanted to go away. Perhaps start over. Perhaps had I gone to bed earlier on Wednesday evening this wouldn't have happened? No, that's wishful thinking and completely unrealistic. It started as sheer bliss, really. Every Thursday morning I have my cello lesson... Sign in to see full entry.

This OLD DOG Is In The Process of Learning NEW Tricks!

I had a patient last week who came in complaining of a "severe" case of poison ivy. Well, it wasn't severe, but I didn't argue with him and gave him the steroid shot he requested. Anyway, I asked him where he'd been -- gardening? Hiking in the woods? Petting his dog who'd been romping in the woods?... Sign in to see full entry.

Spending Money Like There's NOOOOOOOOO Tomorrow!

I wrote a check today for $1275. The original estimate was for $750. Amazing how those numbers increase so rapidly, eh? I knew I had a dead treat that needed to go, so I got a number of estimates. One kind gent came and gave me an estimate of $750 to remove the tree, grind the stump and then remove... Sign in to see full entry.
