Today was the first day I've ever ventured out really early for Black Friday. Buddy and I tried it last year and didn't succeed (mainly cause we were shopping so late and had Amy ( Read more... )

I opened the paper this morning and among the multiple stories about Obama's inauguration I saw a story with the word "gun" in the title. Naturally, I was drawn to it. Turns out Gary, Indiana is suing gun maufacturers and dealers for perpetuating the crime in their city. I'm sorry, but, pro-gun feelings aside, this is stupid. To me, it's as if ( Read more... )

I didn't go back through and edit this, so sorry if this is raw, confusing, etc ( Read more... )

I'll try to be brief. Everyone's up in arms about Oprah not letting Palin on her show during the campaign. I've never really liked Oprah because I think people follow her blindly and she's out of touch with the women she claims to represent. Putting those beliefs aside, I feel she does have the right to decide who comes on her show and who doesn ( Read more... )

...and my stuff!!! Amy keeps misappropriating my stuff and then ends up losing it. The current thing she lost is my wallet. I've torn the apartment apart and can't find it. We tore the truck apart and couldn't find it. It's not at the church building from what we can tell. We noticed it was MIA last night when we started getting ready to pay ( Read more... )

I was just wasting time online before my hubby woke up and I decided to start looking at prices for a bath book for Amy's baths. On Amazon I happened onto a bath book of The Rainbow Fish that had a low rating. I went to read the reviews thinking the book falls apart easily or something. No, the reason the book had such a low rating? A handful ( Read more... )

I’d like to apologize in advance for the length of this. I was listening to some back episodes of one of my favorite podcasts (Baby Time-if you’re a parent, grandparent, or caregiver, check it out) and some of the things mentioned in the past couple episodes, maybe even further back, have pushed me to outlet my pent-up strong opinions ( Read more... )

This is really funny. I wonder if it's really true:

The majority of Malamutes are also fairly quiet dogs, seldom barking like most other dog breeds. When it does vocalize, more often than not they tend to "talk" by vocalizing a "woo woo" sound (the characteristic vocalizations of Chewbacca in the Star Wars films are based upon a Malamute named ( Read more... )
