Turtles are neat! Yeah, they never leave home cause they carry it with them wherever they go. Like the ultimate camper. Of course when they are asleep inside their shell they can sometimes be mistaken for a rock. That is unless they are a really bright color. But then rocks can be bright colors too. So regardless of color a turtle could be mistaken for a rock. Now I believe that turtles are reptiles. A lot of people think they are amphibians. That's a common mistake. Turtles are reptiles and...

Oh No! I think it was a mistake to give Bo a spoonful of green chili stew on his kibble. Cause you see I am gonna need a gas mask or some nose plugs. Whew! Bo you had better go outside! There he sits right next to me smiling and wagging his tail-- pfffttt---"Ohhh ewwww!" I said to him. He thinks he is being a really good boy. I'd better be quiet. Every time I say something his tail wags faster. It is becoming like one of those glade plug in fans, only for ummmm farts. That's not really something... Sign in to see full entry.

Have you ever walked past a house and noticed that the lights in at least one room seem to be flickering blue. First bright then dark then bright again. Almost as if an alien spacecraft had landed inside? Well, you might think that what it is if you didn't know that the strange lights are from the TV. Many people turn out all the lights in the room while watching TV. Therefore the only light is coming from the TV. It has a blue kind of glow and the light level goes up and down depending on what...

LOOK!...there is one little corner of the back yard where there is still a little snow left. So guess where the boss decided to rest? Yep there is the boss! You think someone dried him off with a towel when he came back inside? Thanks for looking in! You think he is cold? Sign in to see full entry.

Yeah! That's what I said to Bo, when he jumped into my lap demanding my attention. Somehow I don't think he believed me. He gave my ear a lick and jumped right down again. Then he did his, "I gotta go out right now!" dance and ran towards the door. I let him outside and went to the bathroom to wash dog slobber off of my ear. I wonder, should I use the lysol on it? I guess soap and water is good enough. Before I even finished Bo was under the bathroom window barking. "Ok ok! I told him through... Sign in to see full entry.

I use speed dial a lot. As a mater of fact if I had to remember the phone numbers of people and places I call the most, I probably couldn't do it. All the numbers are programmed into the phone. I just press one, or whatever, and hit send and the telephone does the rest. This makes me wonder what my brains space that used to hold phone numbers is now doing. Taking a nap maybe? I have the creepy feeling it is filling up with vitally important info--Like who Donald Trump fired on "Celebrity... Sign in to see full entry.

I know send a cold to catch a cold! Right? Humm. Do you really catch a cold? If you are anything like me you go out of your way to avoid it. As a matter of fact if I could I would run away, fast like a bunny, from any cold germs. Just the other day I was in the grocery store and someone in the store was coughing and hacking so hard and loud I thought there was a possibility they were choking on a feather duster full of dust. It sounded like it was coming from the other side of the store, so I... Sign in to see full entry.

I have only tasted sports drinks once, well maybe twice in my life. The first time was when my dad had bought some to drink when he came inside from doing yard work in the summer. Mom told me that he drank half a glass, made a face, then threw the rest of the glass of Gatorade out. After that he would just drink water. Mom always kept a jug of water in the refrigerator. So one time I came by, I happened to be thirsty and the water jug was empty. I filled it up and put it back in the... Sign in to see full entry.

It's kind of weird to me that there are people who never lived in a world without the internet. What would they do without it? It is a much a part of their lives as TV was when I was growing up. Before that my parents had the radio. Then their parents had well the wagon train? Now before that I guess they had books and newspapers. But not everyone could read and write. So that wouldn't be a main source of information or entertainment. So I guess they talked to each other. Let's see that would... Sign in to see full entry.

I kept finding bits of dead grass all over the house, especially in the spare room. I try to keep the door to that room shut, and the heating vent closed so as to not heat a room that isn't used. Now the bits of dead grass in the rest of the house can easily be explained by blaming Bo. He loves to go outside, roll in the dead grass and then come in covered with it. If I somehow let him in without brushing him at the door, he happily comes in and shakes himself all over the living room then... Sign in to see full entry.
