I have to say that while I was not in the military, I was trained as a child and through many years of marriage. I was trained as an infant that I did not matter and to be safe, I had to be invisible. I was trained to to be compliant, not argue, accept that I did not matter. Then there was the...

I have been away from this site for a while and I guess since it has gotten pretty bad again, I find myself wandering back to the place where I know there are people who "get it." I like the puzzle piece analogy - that is how I feel all the time. Most of the time I feel a lot like a puzzle piece...

My 85 pound GSD likes to cuddle - crawls on top of me and goes to sleep while I watch TV. Nothing better.

My boy, all grown up. Still a brat and smells like skunk at the moment but I love him.

It has been a crazy day, watching the local news covering all the insanity in and around Boston. Glad I don't live in Cambridge/Watertown!!

Boston Strong

I can't believe I miss my cheating, ex-husband. I spent the day working on the house and playing with my faithful dog. Definitely prefer the company of my spoiled dog than most people. He doesn't care it is Valentine's and loves me every day. The heck with people.

Beautiful, sunny day!! It is warmer and the sunshine has cleared the roads that were plowed. Back to normal tomorrow. The dog loves the snow! He has given me lots of laughs as he plays in it! :)

Looks like about 2 feet of snow outside with it blown into drifts. Still snowing and very windy. I think they have given up on plowing around here. Time to go and try to remove some of it... ugh. :O_o:

Snowing. The snow is just starting to ramp up and we may end up with a couple of feet of snow. The governor has put a traffic ban in effect starting in 45 minutes. All public transportation is stopping in the next 15 minutes in Boston. I've been out and played frisbee with the pup. He absolutely...

Hugs to you and yours! You raised a very strong daughter!! She will survive and blossom. As will the children. I am glad "he" is following the order and staying away. On some level, he has to know how strong your daughter is and know he won't get away with this. Only a coward attacks while...

We've had a couple of dustings of snow but now we have a blizzard watch! They are saying 1-2 FEET of snow from tomorrow night through Saturday afternoon. Kinda excited about it. Just don't want the power to go out!!

This is the first I have been on in a while. I am SOOO sorry to hear this. So proud of your daughter for going to the police. I can't write the words I am thinking of that man. I am keeping you and yours in my prayers. I wish I could help. You have so much on your plate, make sure you are doing...

Thanks, NH. My plan is to just keep an eye on him and encourage rest as much as he will tolerate. He has been pretty willing to just lie around today. Well, lie around and snuggle. Poor boy is very sad. If he isn't better in a couple of days, I will take him back to the vet. He is moving like I...

My pup just tried to save me from the vicious squirrel. As he attempted the stones in the back, he wiped out - everything going in different directions and whining. Scared the daylights out of me. Nothing broken but he is on strict rest for a few days and 10 days of no treadmill. He will make me...

I had a rough beginning to the week and on Tuesday night, 2 guys from church showed up to just check on me to make sure I was OK. It meant so much to me that they would take time to come and sit with me and talk with me. I made chicken soup for some friends yesterday - one who has been feeling...

I have a photo of toilet paper running down the hall because the pup grabbed the end and ran with it. It just made me laugh. He will grab it and run at any opportunity.

We never had any money and we ate a lot of interesting things. We picked mushrooms when we knew they'd have grown, squirrel, the sunfish we caught in the nearby creek, deer, pheasant (if my brothers could get one) and she even tried to cook a snapping turtle once. Mom occasionally baked bread...

Anything paper or cardboard becomes a shredding party for my monster. He seems to think boxes and magazines are supposed to be in tiny little pieces. I used to fill Kongs with canned dog food and then freeze them in hopes of entertaining the pup. But it didn't take him long to figure out that...

I always had stuffed animals when I was little. I remember a HUGE dog one Christmas. I think he got tossed when my parents moved, after I had moved away. I still have a little, blue seal my brother brought home for me when I was little. I also have some other stuffed animals and when I am...

We always had food, too. We also always had meat, potatoes, vegi's. There was also always dessert - cake, ice cream. I think my mom never had dessert so she made sure we did. We didn't have anything fancy but it was good, hearty food. Of course I ate whatever Mom made - we had to try everything...

Heartbroken. Pissed off. I feel like an idiot. I trusted someone I shouldn't have. I should have known better. :mad::poop::cry:

My GSD experienced his first real snow today (6 inches - we didn't get much of anything last year). He totally loves the snow. While I was running the snow-thrower to clear my driveway, he was running under the stream of snow, jumping up and grabbing big mouthfuls of snow as it fell. Last night...

Listening to and watching my grand-nieces (my brothers grandchildren) sing happy birthday to me via FaceTime. A warm fire in my wood stove and listening to my dog snore - he is sound asleep and completely exhausted from playing in the snow today. Watching his excitement at his first serious snow...

Winter storm warning for tonight. Should start snowing soon but it is supposed to change over to rain by morning. I'd love a good snowstorm but can do without rain. Oh well.
