I originally wrote this sometime back in May I think, but it got lost in my drafts and I forgot to post it when I got sick.  Sharing it now because it is still very relevant and cringe worthy laugh-able in the "I told you so" sense.  Wish I would have posted it back then for better irony laughs revisiting it ( Read more... )

Went to see another potential foster this evening.  Was expecting a 90lb+ dog and the pics even looked it. The dog had lost a lot of weight while in shelter they claimed from depression or whatever. He was a little taller than Ember, and I could imagine if he did put on 20lbs he might be okay for the work.  He was perfect with other dogs, cats, ( Read more... )

In other news.  Cleaning 5 gallons of RODI water out of my car's trunk was *exactly* what I wanted to do with my afternoon. /sarcasm    So much for getting grocery shopping done.  Lets hope the trunk mats dry out by tomorrow and I am feeling well enough to go then.

Nothing like going to the dentist for fillings and to discuss increase in TMJ issues and such, to basically be told you'll need to pay around $12,000+ to get it all fixed in a way that won't fail like all other methods have for you for years.  I need implants.  Anything else will just fall apart and be a waste of money.  The longer I wait, the ( Read more... )

A sad story shared in one of the chronic illness support groups I watch.  This is the reason why it is so important to be your own advocate. You know your body best. Doctors don't always know everything. This sort of thing is what worries me and so many others dealing with chronic medical conditions that are not fully understood. Something gets ( Read more... )

Really not liking the new Budweiser commercial with the puppy and Clydesdale made for the Super Bowl this year. The original commercial of the series was nice and uplifting. This one is just poor taste. It once again makes wolves and coyotes out to be the stereotypical "bad guys". Not cool at all.
