Re: Totally random thoughts and comments
Yeah, Terri! Those are beautiful! I'll be immersed in those three games against Boston also. Last year my grandson was a Yankee in Cal Ripken Majors and they played the championship game against the Red Sox. I knew then that we were going to win, which we did 6-4.
LOVE THOSE YANKEES!!!!!!!!

I wonder if you cross a dog and a cat would it be a cog or a dat? or how about a moose and a horse? would that be a morse or a hoose?

I'm not sure which it would be, but I am pretty sure you shouldn't be crossing a shi-tsu and a pit bull.

Re: Totally random thoughts and comments
Laura:
It reminds me of the story of Cranapple juice which is a mix of cranberry juice and apple juice. They changed the original name because nobody was willing to buy 'crapple' juice. True story. Well except for the true part. Anyways, if it isn't true, it should be.

Re: Totally random thoughts and comments
Thinking deep thoughts about dogs
When I was younger when a purebred dog mated outside of it's gene pool it was a mutt, didn't matter if the other dog was a purebred, it was a mutt, and you could get them for free.
Nowadays it is called a "designer" dog and you pay out your nose for one, now how did that happen? Do you think "designer" dogs are here to stay or are they just yesterday's mutt in the making?
(p.s. there is cuties out there for sure, the Pomapoo is a good example of a cutie patootie!)

Re: Totally random thoughts and comments
Hi There,
We don't have squirrels in Oz, but possums are similar...and they cause us grief...
Our Chihauhau X dog loves getting out there and harrassing them up trees, but our poor trees look worse for wear...not alot of leaves on them and looking like we could lose one of the older trees...but they seem to love our place, the possums have their little hideout down the back of our garden and breed, breed, breed,
Regards
Sue

Gypsy that is sad for the trees I wonder what it would take to make them move? That is natural and not harmful to you or your dog?

Re: Totally random thoughts and comments
I'm really bummed out about "Turkey Bacon". I've been putting off trying it for years. It was supposed to be my "ace in the hole" when I wanted to kick my health level up a notch or two. I mean, it's common knowledge that bacon is the best thing ever made, so it's understandable that I had high hopes for this turkey bacon nonsense. My son Daniel said it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, so a few weeks ago, I figured I would try some. I was left to my own devices one Sunday afternoon and raced to the grocery store. I grabbed a pack of turkey bacon and threw it into my cart next to the V-8 juice, cranberry juice, walnuts, almonds, avocadoes, and bluebrries. I whipped through the checkout line and raced home and pulled out the 2 pounds of ground beef I had stashed in the fridge and worked it into 4 patties and began slicing a block of cheddar, picturing the awesome bacon cheddar cheeseburgers I was about to create. I grilled the burgers to near perfection as the turkey bacon simmered in a pan on a side burner. "mmm, that's funny, there's no fat or grease leaking out of this bacon. It's sticking to the pan" To make a long story short (I know--too late) I threw half a pound of that god-forsaken turkey bacon on the most awesomest fat cheeseburgers you ever saw and was horribly disappointed. That was 3 weeks ago and I'm still bummed out about it.

Well, it could have been worse. He could have shown up to Patrick Swayze's funeral and said "Michael Jackson's death was the best death of the century!"
I'm just saying.....

Jimmy Page is 65 hard years old and has rather fragile health. He spends his time as the chief patron of the Outside the Edge Theater Group which is solely run by addicts and ex-addicts.
