    Animal Friends - My Passion, My Love For Them

    Scott, I can only begin to imagine what the experience was like to see them in the wild. There is a sanctuary in a Neighboring state that has to relocate. I am hoping that they stay in the area. Would just like the opportunity of observation. I envy you.

    Too Many Diagnoses

    No I don't see dead people. Images, voices, pains yes. I didn't say I think that. I am just afraid of the end results of the evaluation.

    Christmas Shopping - Hubs Wants To Do It

    Eveidently he is finding out that it isn't easy to get it done as he thought. But kudos to him. Asked him if he wanted me to finish the shopping but he is going to stick it out. In a way I'm glad. Being in a store full of people is not the most comfortable situation for me to deal with.
