Guy's blog about life with pets in northern mich.

Cats understand far more of our spoken words, than they let us know about. Hitler has heard me encourage Baby to “Bite that BAD CAT,” so many times, that she thinks the verb, ‘to bite’ means “When one irritates, barks at, and chases an enemy.” Baby KNOWS what “Bite the cat” means, but he prefers to act as though his human-to-canine translator is on the blink. He gets far fewer painful claw scratches, that way, while they BOTH enjoy the chasing part. Yesterday, I turned the tables on the little... Sign in to see full entry.

Giving Up Wine > I was walking down the street, when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman, who asked me for a couple of dollars to buy something, for dinner. I took out my purse, got out ten dollars and asked her, 'Look, if I give you this money, will you buy wine with it, instead of dinner?' 'No, I had to stop drinking years ago', the homeless woman told me. 'Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food? ' I asked. 'No, I don't waste time shopping, '...

Here's the names of those whose blogs I have read this month. Early in the month, people were writing blogs less often, but later in the month, they caught up, at least on average. A very strange lot, we bloggers are!

Something else from my friend Larry. I've always told him that I would defend "to the death," his right to be wrong, about most anything. Turns out that just because he is a (redundantly) rabid Republican, (sorry for the cussing ladies) there are some things that he says, that aren't necessarily, a steaming load of............ Hmmm. Let's say that some of the things, that he sometimes says, actually,.... sorta,....could be,..... Okay, they make a lot of sense! Funny, too. There, I just came... Sign in to see full entry.

My pal "Larry the Computer Guy," AKA "Larry the Republican Guy," sent me this, today. Where are all the "liberals," and/or Democrats, this election? (If alive, few are sending me any satirical goodies to pass on to you.) Larry I assume that this is why Larry sent me this, nobody had sent him any satirical goodies, so he must have figured that this, would be nearly as funny as a satirical goodie, being a satirical baddie groaner! Actually, as far as I'm concerned, either (any?) political party... Sign in to see full entry.

If the "history" stats can be believed, I originally wrote this, back in April of '08. I can't imagine either. Anyway, this being late October, it is appropriate to this time of year. Hope it triggers a few Halloween memories and chuckles, for you. Guy Another Halloween has come and gone. When we were all kids, this was the second best holiday of the whole year, second only to Christmas. I’m not sure why we liked those two holidays so much. Oh yeah, free stuff we didn’t have to work for, or save... Sign in to see full entry.

This was posted in December, '09 and this was already six months old news at that time. Did you know about this? I would think that the whole world would be buzzing about it, every day! Since this doesn't appear to have happened in nearly the last year and a half, one wonders, WHY not? This, if true, is the biggest news story since 9/11, and print and broadcast media doesn't appear to have given it the attention, that it warrants. When confronted with an aromatic mystery, as Bernstein & Woodward... Sign in to see full entry.

I’m going to immediately give a call to JK HARRIS! I just heard one of his television ads, claiming that he could save me “ Millions of dollars!” WOW! I have never been able to save millions of dollars, in roughly a half-century of gainful employment! In fact, I have spent nearly ALL of my life, unable even to save two “Benjamin’s” to rub together. I have a theory about my inability to save money. For some illogical reason, I’ve always preferred living with a woman. Need I explain things... Sign in to see full entry.

Last night, I suddenly awoke from a sound sleep, realizing that one ought never to do math in their head, until after drinking a cup or three of coffee, and are fully awake. While sleeping, I must have unconsciously been going over yesterday’s early morning posting about David’s visit, in my head, and I came to the realization that I had told everyone, that we have been best friends for 43 years, instead of for 53 years! Just like that, I’d lost a whole DECADE! (Probably the decade that I’d... Sign in to see full entry.

Sam, First, let me apologize for having put off, answering you about my friend David’s visit. It was a marvelous chance for us to stay current on our lives, and enjoy the fact that while the entire rest of the world changes daily, we both have remained essentially unchanged, over all the years we have known each other. (since 1958! ) David has turned white-haired, and although he seldom picked up Ford V-8 engines, and walked around carrying it, I'm sure that he doesn't do that anymore. I think...
