Sitting here in Barnes and Noble waiting for my wife to get a pedicure and I’m trying to remember how long it has been since I have been inside a physical bookstore. I’m thinking years. How about you?
Help settle a dispute. My wife and I both feel that the ideal sleeping temperature is around 60°F in the room (15.5C). My friend insists that it must be 68° to 70° (20C). What say ye?
So we took our puppy to the vet ER. Confirmed that it was indeed a snakebite. Gave him anti-venom and will keep him overnight. At this point the vet said there’s no way to know if he will survive.😔
You know how you get up in the morning and go into the kitchen, put water into the Keurig and insert your favorite French roast K cup, and then you walk away to do your necessaries, and then you come back to the smell of freshly brewed coffee filling the air…coffee that is ALL
I joke around a lot about insomnia, but seriously, on a good night I will get six hours sleep. More often than not. It’s between 4 1/2 and 5 hours. How about you?

About 7:30 PM last evening I walked around the end of our house and hit my head on a low beam. It knocked me senseless to the ground. My wife had to help me up and I spent all night dizzy and nauseous. Pretty sure I was concussed. Starting to feel a bit better now, but it taught
A recent post regarding the need to find common ground with other humans generated a visit from a hateful troll who informed me that there is no common ground to be had and that I am "phenomenally stupid" to believe otherwise. So, after sending said troll to Twitter never-never
