The Link Train

Not TOO long ago, I got tagged by Quilly to participate in this link meme type thing.  It looks like it could be fun so I thought that I’d give it a go.
“~Start Copying Here~” and copy all the things listed without removing the links (Of course, the train would be no use without those [...]

I can see clearly now…

I can finally see properly, thanks to my dog.
Late this morning I went to settle down on my couch with a book for a little rest. Kira the Wonder Dog decided that she would join me…literally. She took a flying leap and landed on top of me, hitting my glasses.

If you live in an area where cars are inspected you’ll be familiar with this red letter, if not, well, simply it’s a sticker that informs you and everyone around you that your car has not lived up to the expectations of the Department of Motor Vehicles

Bonnie and Clyde

The Zero Lurker Policy

So, did you know that yesterday was De-lurker day?  Don’t worry if you didn’t, I didn’t know either until just now when I read this entry over at Brandy’s blog.  So, because I missed this wonderful…ah…holiday, I’m celebrating a day late.

Fishing Adventures, Part 1

Another sport that I should not participate in is fishing.  It seems like such a peaceful, tranquil sport…but most of my experiences with fishing have not been.  Either they have been ripe with drama or they were just so boring the experience just about put me in a coma.  I am however, a very good [...]
