Baby resents that his position on the pack totem pole, is third from the top, being as he and everyone else, knows that he is the “Beta Male.” He thinks he should be #2. It’s funny to watch him claim the best spot to sit, when Marilyn or I vacate one of the two “best sitting spots.” If I return to mine, he jumps down immediately. He knows that I will sit on him if he doesn’t. I suspect that Baby must be part Ferengi (there IS a facial and ear-lobe resemblance) because if he has staked his claim... Sign in to see full entry.

Does it also make YOU crazy, seeing that you have mis-spelled a word, and did NOT catch the mistake, before EVERYONE else on Earth has read it, and will forever afterward, charitably assume that you have only a third or a fourth grade education? I HATE, HATE, HATE when that happens! The first time that you look at what you wrote, when you read it again, you easily spot your own “proof of idiocy,” just as the WHOLE WORLD already has. Whenever I compose a few really good compositions, ( he opined... Sign in to see full entry.

I haven’t been reading and writing as much as I usually do, for nearly a whole month now, but nobody but me seems to have noticed. We men can be and often are, very dense when it comes to noticing or accepting things about ourselves and our lives. I feel as though I’m an easy-going, patient, pragmatic person, able to roll away from life’s punches, but eventually even a dense, clueless man will notice that he has been feeling a bit down, lately. Not every day is a barrel of laughs, it’s only... Sign in to see full entry.

Everybody should have a hobby, right? I couldn't agree more. As our time alive grows shorter with every sunset, it is nice to know that there are people who can put things into their proper perspective, grab life by the horns, and take care of what matters most to THEM! This is life's greatest test, and there ARE no wrong answers! Wise Words As we get older we can sometimes begin to doubt our ability to actually "make a difference" in the world. It is at these times that our hopes are boosted by... Sign in to see full entry.

Question: If you could live forever, would you and why? Answer: "I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever," --Miss Alabama in the 1994 Miss USA...

My friend Larry the computer guy sent me this today. I've seen some of these in the past. Apparently there are more Idiots born every day. There appears to be a never-ending supply of them, trying to outdo each other, with stupider and ever stupider stuff! Guy As Ron White says, you just can't fix stupid! Read On. GET READY - YOU'RE GONNA SMILE REAL BIG, AT THESE! When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to...

I have to tell you all about something that I learned about robins, early this spring. The very first warm day of the year, Ivy was trying to roast marshmallows but couldn’t start a fire. I came to the rescue by showing her that she needed a windbreak. I had stacked yard debris onto our picnic table in order to not shred it during grass cutting, but had left everything stacked where it was, because grass needs cutting each week or so. What? Why have to stack it all over again? Anyway, in this... Sign in to see full entry.

THINGS I PONDER ABOUT AND STRESS OUT OVER. DOES THIS MEAN THAT I'M GOING CRAZY? * I used to eat a lot of natural foods, before I learned that most people die from natural causes. * There are mostly only two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead. * Life is sexually transmitted. Sounds like a disease to me! * Healthy is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. * The only difference between a rut and a grave, is the depth. * Health nuts are going to feel really stupid someday,...

One day an old German Shepherd starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a panther heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch. The old German Shepherd thinks, 'Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!' Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the panther is about to leap, the old German Shepherd exclaims loudly, 'Boy, that was one... Sign in to see full entry.
