I dont remember exactly how it goes, but it's something along the lines of I tough time we can choose to be miserable, of accept that the situation is miserable and move on. IDK, it goes something like that. right. I know the saying but can't remember it exactly either. but yes, some people who always seem happy no matter what remind me of this. Nothing wrong with trying to improve your situation though! God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. That it? |

I wish it was summer. I feel the need to mow my lawn and start up the string trimmer. You know I think the end of January is the perfect time to make sure your lawn tools are in proper order -- get them out, start them up, let them run a bit at full throttle....tomorrow morning at 5am. Do you have a jackhammer that needs a tune up? Oh I'm sure I can find one and a powerwasher -- and then I can get the dogs howling too, will be a symphony! |

Did you ever stop to think and forget to start again??

Prexactly. You going to be on more now? This would be a good thing :-) Who knows? Big project at work wrapped up, but the satellite dish got fixed today , but winter is still here, but lots to do in sorting/settling things of households, your guess is as good as mine?!? (now who says I'm afraid of commitment? nonsense!) |

Honestly I give Valentine's as much thought as I give Christmas day; I don't care and don't celebrate it. I do hope that all you folks that are looking for a valentine will find one. I want you all to be happy. Just buy some chocolate and love yourself, works for me! |

Border Collies

I used to have a Welsh Border Collie, his mother was a proper sheep herding dog. He was a lovely dog, but we didnt have a big enough garden for him, he really should have had a whole farm to run around. Beofre you get one make sure you are going to be able to take him for many a long walk and run around large fields. The good news is that the farm is only 10 minutes away, so often visits would be fine! I did have a Great Pyrenees once - and that was a challenge for the same reasons - small house/yard, etc. since they are definite roamers/perimeter guarders. She loved herding the cats and that kept her happy while I was away. She did need runs and visits to the farm often too though. Might be good for both of us though - would make me stay off the couch when I get home from work! |

Aw dang, you just had to post the adorable little fluffball's pic, didn't ya? I'd adopt him too probably ! But I'll share my story for what it is worth. I have had one border collie (mix, but mostly border I think) and then decided she was just too smart and active a dog for me to ever get another. But LR, it sounds like you know the breed and that generally they need to have something to keep them occupied, even if it is just herding around the other pets. There was a group in Seattle that worked with BC's to keep their little minds happy by providing them with flocks of ducks to herd. This supposedly reduced their behavioural problems immensely. Mine used to tear stuff up and developed a licking granuloma issue (sort of a habitual licking of the forearm that led to raw skin and an addiction to the endorphins that the pain from that created-a vicious cycle) but she was left alone all day with no other pets or distractions. Ultimately, she was a great dog, but I learned the breed was a bit higher maintenance (at least that one individual dog) than I was willing to give. I've had better luck with sheltie mixes since then. If you grew up around these guys, you already know what you need to. Get him one of those toys (booda?) where you hide the treats inside and they have to puzzle them out of the toy's recesses to get at the treat when you have a long work day. There are always workarounds. Best of luck! You are exactly right in all you say -- especially the joke, I've heard that before and it's exactly right too! The mama is a gentle, quiet, cuddly terrier/border collie mix but the daddy is full out border collie. As long as this one has more of his mama's personality we'll be fine I'm sure. If he turns out to be full border collie personality then that's where the challenge will lay. I've still not officially decided...but...isn't he sweet!? |

Yes and then I was told my father named me --- aaawwww.
Then I was told - "well you were the 4th child, we were out of names, they were wanting to fill the birth certificate out so he flipped through the baby name book and found one in the C's" Really?? He couldn't make it past the C's?? Thanks Dad! |

It's sex 101. I could never understand how a man could be that selfish and not take the time kiss, caress, nibble his woman to orgasm before his own. Sorry I'm late for class Professor, hope I didn't miss too much. Apparently you tested out of that class -- or should be teaching it! |

Oh what the heck, we'll swing by Kansas anyway to get you. Just a little bit out of the way ... We seem to have enough Jose to go around apparently I've got a conversion van at my disposal..should I just pick everyone up? Well that would make more sense - you coming east...I'll try to sober Sweetestgirl up by the time you get here. I'm wide awake now, thinking about scruffy, singing, cat loving doctors and massages. |
