I can never resist a feel-good doggie story…

…and thought I’d share this one with you! Texas Cop Rescues Terrified Dog Trapped on Freeway, Falls in Love With Her on Way to Animal Shelter An officer with the Dallas Police Department recently responded to a call about a terrified dog trapped on the northbound shoulder of Interstate 35. The cop,... Sign in to see full entry.

In Halifax?

Those of you who’ve read me for a while will know that I have long ties (long in duration and long in distance, LOL) to Nova Scotia, and especially to Halifax and Antigonish. So it’s natural that things happening down there affect me more than if they were to occur in Podunk Oy or Poo Poo Point,... Sign in to see full entry.

This morning…

-25C! That’s -13F! And that’s cold! I know, I know, there are colder places – I’ve been to some of them myself – like Winterpeg, where I’ve seen, or rather felt, -45C! But here, in our semi-tropical Southern Ontario? It’s enough to give you the chills! But my LSW insisted on taking the doggie for... Sign in to see full entry.

Can they really get away with that?

“An Israeli woman who has lived in the United States for the last 15 years was barred from boarding a Kuwait Airways flight in New York because of her Israeli citizenship. Iris Eliazarov, 26, who came to the United States when she was 11 and has a green card, was barred from the November 1 Kuwait... Sign in to see full entry.

Naut’s fabulous Avocado Omelet

It’s that thing with avocados – they’re unripe 80 per cent of the time and mushy and turning brown and weird 18 per cent of the time! The trick is to use them in between when they’re just right, during the remaining 2 per cent. I bought a bag of ‘em yesterday – unripe, of course, ‘cause they didn’t... Sign in to see full entry.

Would I lie to you?

Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo – here I thought I’d clarify things a bit for my dear Blogit friends, and all I’ve done is sow confusion, and even encountered rejection of some very basic truths!!! Nobody believes me! Well then – let me prove to you that I am right. I didn’t want to introduce more terms than... Sign in to see full entry.

A couple of days ago Jimmy mentioned snowflakes…

…the things we have seen plenty of lately; he writes: “And you’re never, ever going to convince me that no two snowflakes are alike! First of all, with the trillions of individual flakes that fall each winter, there’s got to be at least two that are exactly alike! And secondly, how would one... Sign in to see full entry.

What a Game!

My condolences to all you Seahawk fans (especially TAPS and Krisles) – your team played well, and it did look for a while they might win! Especially at the end, after that amazing acrobatic pass reception! But then came an inter ception…And unfortunately there also was an ugly brawl – and all of... Sign in to see full entry.

New England or Seattle?

That is the question! I rarely watch football, and almost never American football – they’ve got too many downs in the States – they’ve got four (4)! Here in Canada we’ve got the correct number – three! We’ve also got a larger field – an additional 10 yards – so, all things considered, we’ve got a... Sign in to see full entry.

Remember AirAsia Flight QZ8501?

That’s the one that crashed into the Java Sea with all those members of several Christian congregations on board. Some weeks ago it was reported the last words from the cockpit were “Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.” Information on any previous utterances has not been forthcoming, although it was...
