I guess everybodies got a crazy neighbor story. I have a few. One guy was witnessed last night at 9:45pm a DIFFERENT crazy neighbor brought an ice cream bucket of who knows what and through it in our alley. Mind you....the guys gotta walk down the hill and across the street. Why don't people just k...

So I had to brag. Jillie and I completed 10 weeks of Obedience lessons. We were tied for 2nd place at the graduation dog show. We had a heel off and the liver and white English Springer Spaniel had a straight sit and Jillie a crooked, hence the third place ribbon over 10 dogs. I wanted her to be my...

I have the photos getting sized for the forum. Today, our X-neighbor thru trash in the street. It wouldn't be so bad if it was recycleable cans but NO. It was aluminum foil and a chicken carcas and some expired bread, still in the bag. If he thought he was feeding the birds, he's really crazy. To m...

I have to miss it. :-( With my new job....I can't take any approved or unapproved time off for another two months! I suppose I could have flown but I couldn't justify the expen$e.

Morning: WOW! Congrats. Funny how a condition makes us change our eating habits. My mom used to get Meniere's and run to the Dr. for a B12 shot. What an icky feeling to get dizzy. I hope you are few and far between symptoms. You're going to have to buy ALL new clothes. It's allot of money. I found ...

Bid or Donate....that is the question. WHO is doing both? Maybe this will be the year YOUR name is mentioned for donating. Otherwise it'll be the "handle" that wins the bid that get's mentioned. Happy Holidays! I won't be at WSM cuz I have a new job where I can not take any time off till April, 201...

I had hosta big shots like, Mike Shaddrack, Steve Greene of the Hosta Find...
