While I am as crazy as I should be about my daughter and grandsons, I remain 100% sure that Ativan is the best thing that ever happened to me.

MrRDog and I had this incorporated into our vows (his cousin found it): "People who can laugh at their love, who can kiss with smiles and embrace with chuckles, will outlast in mutual affection all those throat-lumpy, cow-eyed couples of their acquaintance. For nothing lives on so fresh and ever-green as love with a…

Suggestion #1 would be that they stop attempting to comment on Jez.

Duck walks into a 7/11, asks clerk, "You got any grapes?" Clerk says, "No, we don't carry grapes." Next day, duck walks into same 7/11, asks clerk, "You got any grapes?" Clerk says, "We don't carry grapes." Next day, duck walks into same 7/11, asks clerk, "You got any grapes?" Clerk says, "I told you, we don't…

No snark intended, just a simple statement: Tell all of the above to Eva Cassidy. R.I.P.

You can add my Lyle and Talbot to these RIPs.

I wonder if a significant number of former dyed-in-the-wool admirers and/or frequent commenters to this site sometimes return-and-click in hopes that "it might have gotten better." It hasn't, and it's clear where the hand-basket is headed, but I guess a once-a-week fly-by, just for old time's sake, won't hurt. …

Yeah, but the Jesuits have always been notorious for being forward-thinkers, which the church doesn't like. They've always been the intellectuals who knew what's up. I'm a recovering catholic and can't bring myself to have any kind of respect for the church at all, but I respect this guy as an individual thinker.

Odd. Because USA Today certainly has. Re their 2014 Pre-Season All-American College Football Team, I stopped counting at 20 "non-white" players on their first team. (For those interested in numbers, that was 20 out of 23. Which means that 3 players were white. Which is to say that, when I stopped counting, 20…

LOL! I bet you have a lot of trouble with women who try to "touch" you "without consent," don't'cha?

I, also, have met Chelsea Clinton and she was nice as pie. Offered me her warm gloves on a cold day, bought me lunch and let me sleep over on her couch. Gave me a puppy, too. (See how easy it is to type stuff, make things up and just generally invent situations? I have no wish to defend the Clintons - nor, for…

Well, to be fair, it was her mother who said that.

Hey, take it easy on yourself! My MrRDog gets more interesting every year; the more time we have together to learn stuff, the more fascinated I am by him. (Of course, I have such a massive crush on him, it's ridiculous.) But I don't believe you boys are boring ... some of you just haven't been asked the right…

I think they're both singular pieces of work; he's no prize, but she seemed to be monumentally high-maintenance. I realize that she got embarrassed big-time on national tv but then to willingly (I presume) appear on another tv show, to be followed around almost 24/7 by cameras, to have her "issues" aired, etc., etc.,…

I've always contended that nobody can cover a song like Dwight Yoakam, who drives me crazy, he's so good. But Ms. Clarkson sure knows her stuff. ETA: I got so carried away thinking about Dwight that I forgot my point, which was that 100% agree with Taekotemple ... these 2 singers take a song, overlay their…

I thought "alpha" had been over for a long time. I always used to equate it with "loud, bossy and insecure" which, come to think of it, are all the things I am. {Sigh}

Well, hell...my husband does that occasionally, too! smh. You've obviously cared enough to get some very good face-to-face advice from the trainer, and you clearly know what you're doing. As with everything, "it's a process," and the good thing is that Dog won't ever think you're an idiot (not that you are!);…

Good luck, and don't get discouraged. He wants to please you; you obviously care deeply about him and he is a very, very lucky dog.

The amount of play this guy is getting on my end this weekend is just ridiculous. I'm watching this stuff like somebody's going to remove it from the interwebz or something.

That's good to hear! And I bet he was very pleased with himself that he could help you out by searching for the murderer. Just remember: There's only one thing in the world that a dog wants from you, and that's for you to tell him what you want him to do. As lots of people have already said, they're pack animals…
