Ever had a terrible feeling of guilt? The kind that makes your stomach churn and your head ache?For many reasons that I won't get into, I had to put Sin down Tuesday night.Chris helped me, went with me to the emergency vet in Peoria and even paid for it (in more ways than one). Poor Sinner, who thought he was just going on another trip, went inside willingly. As we waited for the doctor to come

I was reading Seamus' post about the hummingbird (go look...he got some great pictures), and I thought of how I haven't been "into" the birds around here for the past year or so.I used to make sure I had plenty of seed for them, all these feeders hanging everywhere, suet cakes in the winter, yet lately it just seems like I don't care. I would get all kinds of birds, woodpeckers and juncos (you

I woke up this morning to an all too familiar smell.Fed seems to just lay where he's at when he feels the call of nature. I guess it's easier for him. His arthritis must be worse in the mornings or anytime after a long rest.Yet when I get out of bed he's suddenly all smiles and has an urgent need to go outside, his tail wagging the way it always has, an almost puppy-like enthusiasm about his day.

All that snow will NOT keep me from my job...but getting stuck in the road will.After two hours of digging, along with the help of a ten year old that I paid $10 to (he never asked, just started to help me) and his

I HATE Wal Mart.But I go there because things are cheap.Certainly NOT for the friendly service.By the time I got out of there this evening, I was in a terrible mood.I admit I have relatives in Mississippi, and that I am a redneck by birth, if not by choice.I am not ashamed of that...just a bit embarrassed by what some of my family has done.In my family's past, there is a ridgerunner, an attempted

Saw this in person at the Field Museum in Chicago. Nikki was going to meet me close by (she lives in Indiana), then we were going to go up together and be goofy and laugh and enjoy the whole day. We haven't seen each other in at least two years, probably more.Unfortunately, she had a bit of car trouble, and had to go back home. Turned out it was just a short in her dash. She was bummed...her

Halloween is almost here, so after you've gone out trick or treating (c'mon, you know you do it...), you should get comfortable and munch the stuff you got while watching a great horror movie (notice I didn't say gore...there's a difference); they're fun AND you feel better about your life because you realize that it could be worse...

As you can see, the two birds in these pictures are an owl and a hawk. They are beautiful animals, and as far as I know, are NOT on any "I can shoot this" list.Unfortunately, they DO get shot.

Sure...sometimes he did crazy things...sometimes he did dumb things...but you have to admit...anyone who's ever enjoyed animals had to be a bit jealous once in a while...he got to do for a living things we could only dream about...and at least he died doing what he loved.He was cool...he was funny..and his attitude was contagious.

First Amendment – Freedom of speech, press, religion, peaceable assembly, and to petition the government.We should all be able to use this, but not be allowed to abuse it. Unfortunately, people do.

...last week a man (in Peoria, I believe) shot his wife, their dog, then himself. Rumor has it she was sick, and I guess he didn't want her to suffer, didn't think anyone could care for the dog, and didn't want to live without her. For some reason, shooting the dog makes it even more eerie to me......first it was all the teenagers getting killed in car wrecks like they don't have any sense. Now

I watch him more now, worried that he may stumble and fall. He's thirteen years old, pretty old for a lab. I have had him since he was three months, all legs and tail and an insatiable curiosity about life.Last weekend he got to go camping again for the first time in a long time. There were two other dogs there, and they seemed to sense that he was a bit more fragile. He actually ran a few

...it's a very hot day going into an even hotter weekend...and my neighbors are idiots. For some reason they get two puppies every year, and in a month or so they are tired of them. These are both black lab mixes, brother and sister, and I've already called animal control for abuse AND the police for insessant barking several times. As usual our animal control sucks...it took them about three

...well, the shuttle didn't go up because of weather. I hope it happens tomorrow...then again, supposedly two different people gave it a "no go ready for launch" and were overridden by someone else. Sorry I don't remember who's who, all I know is someone has questions about the safety of the shuttle, while another is worried about the costs. Some people may hate paying taxes for this, but I think

...Lewis has a really good post about his day of hunting. You should read it. He has a great philosophy on it....I agree with what he has to say....first let me say that the laws regulating guns in Illinois make no sense to me. I have to learn to drive a car before I'm given a license (after proving I can drive), yet I can just go out and buy a gun and use it. Sure, you have a right to bare arms,

see what happens when you do something good...Dear Solider Angels, It is a great honor for me to write, and respond to true American Patroons. Though I would rather write and thank everyone on an individual basis, my job as a corpsmen doesn't alloy the time. My marines, and fellow corpsmen, and myself are really thankful for everthing you have done for us. The packages, cards, the words of

random thoughts ('cause I can't, for the life of me, think of anything more interesting than this)......whenever I get a pound of my favorite turkey breast at Wal Mart (yes...their deli is actually good...), I always tell them I want it the size of a nickel. Do they ever cut it that thick? NO. It's like they've never even seen a nickel. Sometimes they don't get it right the second time, either.

...certain things have been bothering me lately.........why is it that on some of the blogs I've visited it's like some kind of special club, and even though you are able to post, no one seems to care. No one acknowledges you. I remember reading one guy's blog...he was very good, but after he actually posted about how once he sees mistakes in spelling or proper word etiquette, he won't read them

Commercials I like to watch......the Hall's cough drops where the three pigs are in the brick house (guys with make-up) and the bad wolf is outside with a cough. He takes a cough drop, crunches it with his teeth, then takes a deep breath and....you know the rest of the story....Target makes good ones, although they have an uncaring attitude when it comes to charities....the Boston and the Pug

Commercials that annoy me......the Burger King king...one of the scariest things I've ever seen...and to think he plays football......Radio Shack/Verizon, where people sit in a chair and tell someone the gifts they want...the girl who is obviously a spoiled bitch...with her whipped boyfriend in tow...telling her mom that she wants this phone and she should get her for her or else she will tell

PEOPLE ARE SUCH DICKS....December 08, 2005•Insult to Injury First things first: The issue that's getting so much attention — and rightfully so — is the hate letter written to PFC Joshua Sparling. In case you missed the show, Josh was wounded in Iraq on November 20, and by the time he arrived at Walter Reed Medical Center he was almost immediately carted in for surgery. With a down moment he

...so if anyone still reads here...go to Jack's blog and read the December 9th post about the guy who was shot on the plane (he was bi-polar) and how journalists are so responsible in their reporting. He makes some very good points, and I had a few of my own...go read it.

...once again a big corporation has made itself gobs of money at the expense of someone....seems Troy and his employees were notified last week that their last day will be tomorrow. Supposedly they bought another company (HV) but, this other company gets to stay open, and Troy's store closes....what is it about these big corporations that feel they need to screw over their own?

Do NOT go here...these a#&%$()*s just closed a store around here, gave their employees a WEEK'S notice, and will be keeping the tiny, no room, employees-are-rude store with a busy intersection out front. Just in time for Christmas.

...I once watched a program (after 9/11) about rescue dogs. One set of profiles they did was on the dogs that were used to find bodies among the rubble of the twin towers. These dogs would find people, sometimes still alive, but mostly those that perished. Both the owners and the animals worked day and night, pretty much exhausted after long, grueling hours....One owner that was interviewed

Well, yes, I do, it's my blog, and having already established the fact that it will never be up there with the great ones, I can do anything I damn well please, because people, it don't get any worse than this....besides, at least I didn't create a blog that is totally devoted to Sin.

It's for something worthy and necessary, and I think it will do some good. Please check it out....however, I can't afford it at the moment. There are people who are donating a lot (to me it's a lot) of money, and for some reason I'm worried how he thinks of me.No
