I am so overdue on doggy talk, and we just marched through that time of the year where there is a cluster of dog anniversaries for both Trix and Tans, so it’s a good time to talk about both beasts. Well, I guess I can officially stop worrying about Tans pulling a LaniJo. She has …

Help Kate And Andrea Get A Tandem Mountain Bike
So I joined a book club. I need to write a whole post about that, but the reason I mention it is someone else in the book club wants to do a triathlon. Go her. I take my hat off to anyone who can do all of that. But, she’s been at this for a …

What The ER Looks Like From The Doctor’s Point Of View
I saw this article about what it’s like in the ER late at night, and it made me think. I know these things. I know the doctors aren’t just bumming around all day making you wait for fun, but boy is it ever frustrating. I still remember how frustrated I was when I had to …

Stop, Ask, Listen: Pretty Straightforward Stuff, Yes?
I know I have said it over and over and over again before, but I found someone else’s take on it that I thought was pretty well-written, and bonus, it included references to other “feel good stories” I’ve wanted to talk about, so double awesome! It also mentions an issue that I have talked about …

The Bayesian Trap
Want to make your brain explode? Watch this video about the Bayesian trap. At first, this sounds ridiculous, but because this guy has a lot of patience, it really starts to make sense. The sucky part is I don’t know if I would ever be able to actually properly use that equation because my poor …
Follow Your Arrow To Jail
I figure I might as well ruin two songs with this case. Remember the story about the guy getting shot with an arrow? Well, a few days ago, Eric Amaral pleaded guilty, and is going away for a long time. When they charged him with the murder, there was a small part of me that …
Ass Ass Baby
So apparently, there are a lot of seniors with STD’s now, and it’s not something that’s getting talked about. So, Dr. Shannon Dowler wrote a rap song about it…which is pretty damn good. I have to say that I’m feeling pretty old, because “Ice Ice Baby” was picked as a song that is supposed to …
Not Special Needs
I saw this ad a few weeks ago, and it made me laugh. It also took no time at all to make a point that should have been clear all along. I hope it makes some people think.
Dog Poop Will Turn Your Roomba Into A Ruindba!
There’s a story going around Facebook that reminds me of something that happened to us when we had Trix that I somehow never put up here. Maybe it was waiting for its perfect moment. One day, on a whim, I bought Trix a new puzzle toy. The dog is supposed to roll the thing around …
