My parents currently have my old pony (though ownership passed onto my younger sister) that just doesn’t get enough care.  All but my youngest sister has moved away, and she’s too busy to ride him.  So my parents would like to find a new home for him for his own good.  I got him just as I was outgrowing ponies and never appreciated him ( Read more... )

I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feelin'
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin',
Singin' in the rain

I grew up having a cup of tea in the morning.  As a child it was always with sugar and milk.  Whenever I had a cold or a sore throat, my mother would indulge me with a soothing cup of honey tea.  In college I switched over to coffee for the needed caffeine boost in the mornings.  Even now the day doesn’t start until I have at least half a cup of ( Read more... )

        Depends on when and how.  If a friend left their email open on  a laptop in the living room, I'd probably glance at it if it came from someone I know.   If it's on their computer in their room and I just went into get something, no, I probably wouldn't bother.  As for journals, it's the same.  If they leave it lying around, I might flip it ( Read more... )
