Tell me again, why do we have dogs?

Especially big ones who can (and do) carry their knuckle bones upstairs & leave them on the floor. To be hit or stumbled over in the middle of the night, like a secret weapon.
Yesterday I didn’t have to bake, which was different, so I cleaned fish tanks. The nitrite levels were trying to move up [...]

I knew I wasn’t the only one

I don’t care what color a person is. They could be purple with yellow polka dots, but if they live in America, they should be required to speak the language.
People come here for a variety of reasons. Better jobs, religious freedom, better life. Whatever. I have only 2 requests. Do it legally, & learn to speak the [...]

Not made up

“If the war(s) make Bush feel so “romantic” and “envious” of the soldiers (real soldiers, not idiots like him playing in jumpsuits under lying “mission accomplished” banners that he had made himself), maybe he should go to the front lines, or better yet - send his girls to the front lines so they can come [...]

It’s no wonder…

As I sit here, I think about my husband, who happens to be on his way to a job, my son who is with him, & think about the article I read in the one place I shouldn’t be. The New York Times.
The article I read is making excuses for people like Elliot Spitzer, or [...]

So it was the media’s fault, huh?

If she hadn’t posed for the pictures in the first place, they couldn’t then have gotten out. If she hadn’t preformed the acts that she did, pictures couldn’t have been taken, then leaked out.
From the article, she doesn’t appear to think that anything was wrong with the actions she & others perpetrated, she’s just wishing [...]

Roscoe has a friend

It’s a 4″ Red Tiger Oscar. It’s name is Boscoe.
We had a few touchy moments once Boscoe was let loose in the tank, because Roscoe considered Boscoe an interloper. They appear to have worked out their differences, & will now swim side by side. They also hunt together, although there isn’t anything left for them [...]

The joke of the day

“In the long run, our economy is going to be fine,” Bush said. “Right now we’re dealing with a difficult situation.”
Since he generally doesn’t know his butt from a 3 foot hole in the ground, who’s telling him what to say?

This, this, and that

Last night, Brian came by to pick up some fish. His estimate: He got about 250 of the mollies from the 210 & stated that once Roscoe gets some of his size, I won’t have near the issues that I do now. I also found out that if fish are in the same tank for [...]

Then I see this:

In the mornings, I start up my computer, check on business information, then check email. Normally there isn’t a lot to pay attention to. This morning was different.
For years Chris & his friend Steve have chatted on Messenger every morning, from 5:00 to 5:30. On the weekends, it’s an hour, but the same thing. They [...]

A case of the pot calling the kettle black, I think

First we have this:

Then we have this:

What gives the US government, who refuses to ban torture techniques, or declare them illegal, the right to criticize anyone?
While the US isn’t near as hard on its own citizens as China is, they are in fact, guilty of some of the same practices. Like allowing imports from China [...]
