Who’s Fair and Balanced Now?

GASP!! Ohhhh! Did a media figure actually practice their constitutionally protected right to freedom of speech? Did they step outside of their scripted, sterile, cardboard environment and show some personality? I am simply disgusted that National Public Radio fired Juan Williams. He expressed an honest opinion on the Fox News channel that surely didn’t sit […]

Evil Does Exist

A beloved relative who spent decades selflessly serving other people passed away this month. Hundreds of emails poured into her grieving husband’s inbox reminding him of the amazing positive impact she had on their lives. A memorial service was held, and later, a burial. When the husband arrived home from burying his wife of nearly […]

Missing Cat Info.

This article is from Kat Albrecht’s website. It is a reminder to look for missing kitties inside before simply assuming that they’re outside. Remember, cats can’t just walk up to you and say, “hey, I need a doctor.” Cats with urinary tract infections or cystitis will urinate outside of their litter box, for example. That’s […]

Flexicose

Late last year my dog suffered a hind leg injury. His vet recommended surgery, but I wasn’t convinced that I wanted to put him through a major operation at his age. It was also very costly, and while he’s worth every penny, it was unaffordable. Agonized over his condition and not sure what to do, […]

De Throne(d)

A couple of weeks ago I was driving down the road and saw red balloons out in front of someone’s house as if they were having a party. Wait—there were no festivities. They were recycling a toilet. I think. Instantly my brain turned to “caption this photo”and “classified ad” mode. With a Boston accent: There’s […]
