A nice story
So my friend Alison found a very dehydrated and very sick little kitten outside one of our doctor’s offices a few weeks ago (we are in pharmaceutical sales and see stray dogs and cats ALL THE TIME in our territory - so sad). She called me to ask where should she take the kitten that it wouldn’t be put down. There is only one place in Dallas that is no-kill, The Humane Society Dog and...

I thought it wasn’t possible to love blonde munchkin Taylor Swift more after “Love Story,” but I was grossly incorrect.

This statement sounds vapid amidst the violence and passion of the protestors. But we can only hope this is truly their motivation and the blood will not have been shed in vain.

What? This statement does not sound vapid in the least….

This isn’t going to be very long, because it really doesn’t need to be.
The subway rag Metro has recently gotten into the habit of publishing “both sides” of so-called “hot button issues” such as global warming and same-sex marriage.
Here’s the thing: There are certain subjects that just aren’t open to debate.
Evolution is not a debatable issue. It is a fact. You can debate it...
How can I stretch my grocery budget?
This reblog is for Jen, my recent college grad sister. Although from what I hear, the Sparrow Market is a great gig for eating well. Glad you have it :)

My answer? Cos I am a non-stupid human being that can think for herself and am NOT a robot only spewing out party rhetoric and what my Sunday School teacher told me 35 years ago.

A Note on Evolution.
thedailywhat:
More than a few have taken issue with my statement in the previous post on Equality that “evolution is fact,” so I feel the need to respond — for their sake more than mine.
The dissenters’ common argument stems from a terrible, fundamental misunderstanding as to the definition of the words “theory” and “fact” in their scientific context. It is a far too ubiquitous mistake, and I...
Harry had mouth surgery today. They built up his remaining canines, pulled 3 top teeth, and sealed his teeth that were worn down and had exposed pulp (sensitive! ouch!). They also did an x-ray and found a bone infection that he may have had since we adopted him last August. 10 months ago. No freaking wonder he is the most tired dog on earth! POOR BUDDY! Next rescue dog we adopt gets the...
After a long week at our national sales meeting in Las Vegas, I had a nice, relaxing weekend at home. A little pool time, dinner out with my sweetie, and some time with my doggies while reading today. Very enjoyable all around.
Yes I am freakishly red faced and shiny in that picture. It was a long hot day in the sun before that was taken…I always have to relearn my sun lesson at the beginning of each summer. Yes, self, you are Irish. Yes, you are very pale. Indeed, you will burn if not wearing SPF 70. All it takes is one red day, and then I will be lubed up with protection the rest of the summer. It’s...
WatchMy parents totally would have done this had they known about it at the time Casey Bud passed. But, in equally dear fashion, they have his cremains inside a small box that my mother makes seasonal arrangements around. He is in the holly at Christmas, the cornucopia at Thanksgiving, and the flowers at Easter. The arrangement sits on the window seat where he could see squirrels when he was...
