The miners in Chile who have been trapped are finally free! There were a lot of very expensive rescue efforts thrown together using technology and resources from all over the world. Thankfully, they found a way to get all those men out of the ground. It’s a great day for them and their families!
Sick Pup
Something has made my puppy sick. All she wants to do today is go outside and eat grass. I’ve been told that grass is like Pepto Bismol for dogs. So I don’t mind taking her outside as much as she needs. But I am worried about what would make her sick in the first place? Will eating the grass really make her feel better? How long do I let her do this before taking her to the vet? I’m so worried!
Winter Shivers
Its cold. I’m so sick of the cold weather. The sun never shines, the house never gets warm and my feet are so cold I have to wear socks to bed. I hate this winter weather!
Can’t Sleep
Tomorrow is Friday and it will be an easy day at work. Wait, it is already Friday. But I can’t sleep. I need to get to bed, but all I do is lay in the bed and stare at the ceiling. I don’t have any sleep aids here and I really don’t want to have them. Falling asleep is not usually a problem for me. I guess I just have too much on my mind tonight to fall asleep.
High Cost of Drug Store Items
Lately it seems like the most expensive place to buy things is the corner drug store. They have the pharmacy, of course, but they also have different departments within the store with over the counter medications and toiletries, beauty supplies, toys, camera film, groceries, greeting cards and a limited selection of household goods, like paper towels, rubbermaid storage containers, fuses, etc.
But all of these things cost almost twice as much as if you went to a hardware store or Wal Mart to buy them. I’m sure there is a premium to be paid for convenience, but in these tough economic times, places that charge two much for every day items will be losing a lot of business and frankly, it’s their own fault.
Toss the Diet Drinks
Do you know that drinking zero-calorie diet drinks increases your hunger and cravings? The increased hunger causes increased caloric intake. I read about it online.
If you are getting frustrated with a weight-loss plan but still drinking diet drinks – this might be why your plan is not working out like you thought it would. If you switch to plain water when you are thirsty, this report about diet drinks suggests that you are much better off drinking water than drinking diet drinks.
My dog named Mork
I figured we would go ahead and address the ‘Mork and Mindy” name issue right away and get it over and done with, right here and now. Not that I mind all the jokes and giggles, I have a sense of humor just like the next person, and I grew up enjoying the Mork and Mindy reruns that came on cable TV, but I just figured we could nip it in the bud, so to speak.
My parents had a sense of humor also, it certainly came into play when they purchased a puppy for me at the age of 4, and my parents the whole family decided to give this newest member of the family the name of Mork. Mork has been my best buddy and friend, much like in the TV series, since the day he arrived in our house oh so many years ago and still lives there with my folks and he makes my home coming even more exciting and something to look forward to and I can’t wait to see him and spoil him rotten. He is getting up there in years but still has plenty of spunk and I treasure the time that I spend with him, as always!
