Sharing!


Waiting for Negotiations


The SPCA saya she was surrendered by her owner prior to his incarceration.

She is a "Labrador Pit Bull - mix" (Puppycock - mainly Pit with a bit of husky/shepard throwb in)

10-12 month old - just spayed by the SPCA

Unforntunately the pound had a medical hold on her until tomorrow - and won't reserve an adoption - so it's first come first served after 10AM.

Son-and-Law and Grandlads will be gone tomorrow bright and early to deer hunt - William (the 8 year old) needs to test out the 20 gauge shotgun Santa brought) He did test fire it in the yard and the blew bejeezus out a gallon plastic jug at about 20 yards - So magisMommy getes to make the trek back down all by her self - (we did go pick out a large wire kennel and medium sized travel-crate.)

I just hope to deal just get re-thought!

Dixis had onviously graduated from the "how to get adopted " course with flying colors - no jumping, greeted everybody, fetched the ball, walked on the leash, and other than sniffing, ignored a whole room full of cats in kennels.

ANd then finish episode 8 of TRUE BLOOD.
Some crazy stuff is happening on that show!

Crazy, but Crazy-Good!

Yep.  And i can't believe i did not know that this was based on a series of books by Charlaine Harris. Has anybody read them?

After i finish the HBO series i will look into reading them. Although for some reason my library only has number 8 (of 8).  I will check to see if my sister's library has them. If not i may see if my library can get them.

From how long ago?  I didn't read anybody's TRUE BLOOD comments at the time. Because i had not seen it yet. I don't get HBO.

This was the plaque that was affixed to the park bench that I was sitting on (and eating the banana pudding):


I would love to know a bit more of that story.  Although, the mystery and romance of it is all just enough.

Just do a search. There were no spoilers posted.  Even DR MattH and myself mentioned that we were watching the series.

It's funny i just did a search re: td's posts. And the odd thing is that i remember reading the post before. But i guess at the time i did not put two and two together. Since the books were referred to as southern vampire mysteries.


I don't know if the books are similar to the tv show. But i don't find TRUE BLOOD the tv show to be similar to the TWILIGHT series.

Of course not!  The "True Blood" series is most definitely geared towards adults.  -Which is why the vampires on "True Blood" have sex.  Often.

Well, I went out this afternoon and hit the nearby Moorestown Mall.  I bought a couple of pairs of Dockers at Sears.  And then I saw that almost all of their men's shoes were on sale at 50% off.  I spent about 20 minutes deciding between three different pair.  I took my selected shoe up to the salesgirl and asked for a size 12 1/2.  She told me that they didn't carry half sizes over 11!

Grrrrrrrr...

DerBrucer, I would fear guns in the house (especially a gun in the hands of a child) more than a sweet pit bull. But maybe that is just me.

I went to the Gap - I'd heard every store everywhere was having huge fifty to seventy percent off sales.  Not the Gap - twenty-five percent on bad items.  Feh.  Had some spaghetti, which was excellent.

My dad kept a gun locked up in my parents' bedroom bureau.  He always said it was for protection.  When he died and we went through his things, we found the gun but there was no ammo.

Well, it's just a common fact of life in rural southern culture - a shot gun for a kid is almost as common as a baseball bat. Frankly, I think it's safer for him to be properly exposed to firearms than to experiment with them later on. Before he could get his license, William (age 8) had to pass a formal gun safety course.
And his familiarity with fire arms means he knows how to handle them safely, and he hits what he aims at. You rarely hear of a kid with proper safety training hurting himself or others. You're a lot safer around a teen-age hunter than you are around a teen-age driver!

I think it will work out - my SIL is pretty good about dog training and Dixie acted smart as a whip.

Intesting side note consdering Danise troubles with the SPCA - this group has a policy that if you already have a dog, they require you to bring your animal in to meet the prospective adoptee to make sure they get along.

 I used to know Dale...through Nina Foch, who also passed just recently.

He was a very, warm friendly man.

There have certainly been a lot of show biz deaths this past month or so.  I can't remember a time when there have been so many in such a short period.

Good evening all. I am home!   It was a LONG drive there was very dense fog for the first 70 miles or more.  It took me 2 hours to drive what usually takes 1 hour.  I considered turning back, but it's warm enough out that the roads were just wet and I could see 100 feet, so I kept going.  I'm glad I did. It's going to get cold by tomorrow with snow and all the wet roads may get slick.

It was a nice visit.  I just decided to go with the flow and we all got along well.  it started with being asked if I was going to leave on Christmas day because of th e weather forecast for today. I thought about it and then decided I wasn't going to spend all my time there stressing about it and just said "No, I'll wait and see what happens on Friday" after that things were fine.  It was nice to see everyone.
