Machelle Has Her Say
My dog has a patch of red, irritated skin on his underside. It looks like poison ivy to me. But I have always been told that dogs can’t get poison ivy rashes. I need to find out if that is true.
I hate to go to all the trouble of a vet appointment just because he has a red belly, butt he keeps scratching it and making it redder. I guess if it is not better at all by morning I will see if the vet can squeeze us in at lunch, because I have no idea what to put on it and make it better.
Once of these days I will be retired. I look forward to the day that I do not have to set the alarm clock and can just wake up naturally. I suppose it will take a while for my body to adjust to a different routine. Maybe I will still wake up at the same time even without the alarm being set. But I am seriously looking forward to the mornings when the alarm does not go off.
Wow – this girl has been sneezing all day long. What’s in the air that is making me sneeze?
I don’t have “allergies” like so many people seem t have. But with everything blooming and pollen everywhere, there must be something new out there. I have gone through half a box of Kleenex and scared my dogs a at least a dozen times with my big sneezes!
Usually I try to have something positive to say. I try really hard to be happy and upbeat and find the fun in life. But let me tell you, this winter has been hard on me. We have so much snow and rainy grey days. I have a hard time being happy when everything around me is cold, wet, dark and gloomy.
Are you making New Year’s resolutions this year? I think I will pass that by. I am always looking for ways to improve myself and don’t need to make a big promise on New Year’s Day to make that happen.
Happy New Year!
My sisters only daughter is an absolute ski nut. I don’t mean water skiing either. She loves snow skiing, snow boarding and anything that has to do with sliding around in the snow. She’s always looking for ski deals. Me personally, I don’t care for snow at all. But this is one part of skiing that has totally surprised me. She won’t go out skiing unless she has the latest fashions for skiing or snow boarding for the new season.
See all of this time I thought the main thing was not to break your leg or neck and stay warm. Well not anymore it seems. You also have to be in the latest fashions for that year too. Personally I know absolutely nothing about what’s hot and what’s not in the latest and greatest ski apparel but I did learn a lot when I was searching for a graduation gift in the form of ski deals for her. It’s absolutely amazing what you can learn about on the Internet. Not to mention, who would have thought an old lady like me would be surfing the Internet for ski fashions for my niece either? I would have never dreamed a couple years ago but I think I’m as addicted to the Internet as she is to skiing.
Okay, Okay, it all makes sense now… I never looked at it this way before but have you ever notice how it seems that all or at least most of a womens problems start with MEN?
Woman has Man in it; Mrs. has Mr. in it;
Female has Male in it; She has He in it;
Madam has Adam in it;
MENtal illness MENstrual cramps
MENtal breakdown MENopause

AND .. When we have REAL trouble, it’s a HISterectomy. To honor all of the ‘MEN’ here’s a picture of the husband of the year just to prove the ‘Man Trouble we tend to have:
The winner of the husband-n-wife of the year is ………. ‘Scotland’ Ya gotta love the Scottish. The Scottish are true romantics. Look, he’s even holding her hand. Looks like my kinda guy………..not!!!!
With a little one soon to be here, there is so very much to consider. Safety is the first priority! In my day, no one thought about the things they do today about child safety. With the stairs that come from upstairs, child safety gates are a must. Not to mention having baby gates installed at all of the places the baby does not need to be when it starts scooting around. KidSafeInc.com has been one of the best resources for me as far as safety goes.
They not only will tell you all about safety, but also carry the products you are looking for like extra wide baby gates for wide openings, pressure gates for adjustable openings, pet gates and especially stairway gates. You just can’t be too careful, now can you? Actually, I should have said, you have to be too careful when there’s a little one or even a pet around, don’t you think?
I woke up this morning and just felt like a mac truck had run over me. Don’t you hate that? I sure do. I have a dull headache, body aches and tummy just doesn’t feel quite right either. Man I sure hope I’m not coming down with anything. Maybe it’s just all of this stinking rain that has me feeling all ‘blah’ all over.
