Kids really can help integrate a neighborhood. Dogs - probably not so much. My youngest was still at home when we moved here 17 years ago. Pat had a son the same age. They didn't get along so well but Pat has always enjoyed talking with her when she stops by and they are both outdoors. That...

I can't believe that I have the good fortune to live next to a deaf neighbor, now. She's a widow, a little younger than I am, with a few real cute grandkids who visit often. I mean, the lady has even decorated her backyard for Christmas. She's a renter but has been there about 3 years. I tell...

No, I didn't need to give them fake names. Pat's getting to be kind of an old guy and has been in the neighborhood just about forever. Mike moved here after me and is 30-something, I'd guess. His wife has had 2 children while they've lived across the road from Pat and me. The older must be in...

Have increased font size, Bottesini. I participate on a couple of hobby forums and have NEVER been given so many options in the message boxes! Too many choices = confusion. Thank you for letting me know.

Yes, I'm willing to put half 'n' half in the cup but I'm really trying not to gain weight. Weight gain is so easy (pre-ordained) at this time of year. Coffee drinks turn into little desserts. I'm at risk of turning into a big marshmallow :shock: !

There are many poetry types and so many that 1 or 2 should please just about anyone who wants to put words together in a poem. I only do a little reading of poetry. To gain much from a poem, it takes some effort - kind of thinking and reading at the same time. Really, it is very important for...

Well, the title is fiction. Stating it that way got a lot of interest, I'm sure. Some of her message comes thru. It is very difficult for me to put myself in her place despite having a little experience with 1 child feeling that counseling is very important to him. As a father, I didn't think...

Just as good?! That must be with a Keurig. Eh? You know, VacationGuy, some of that ice cream can go in the coffee! No, I don't do that either . . . usually. I don't think I'm a huge coffee drinker. I try not to have it in the afternoon - often go for the Oolong about then and will drink herb...

I have trouble with water . . . Nah! I do like tea! I've got some pretty good oolong in the cupboard but it's coffee that I go for, early in the day. I like herb tea, also. There are some herbs in my garden each year - especially for tea. But, I've got the trouble with caffeine. Or, my stomach...

I hate decaf! I cheat. One-third is caffeinated . . . :whistle: Any decaf drinkers out there? And, what do you do?

If you click a link or 2 in the story "I am Adam Lanza's Mother" you will find that the writer is in Boise, Idaho. No, she is not Adam Lanza's mother - and it is a strange way of titling the article even if her & her son's story is true. Boise? If the events take place in Boise, she's lucky...

Oh, My! Charmingly creative people here! No, I don't do any meaningful writing, or drawing, or creating of anything meaningful. When I was in high school English and was given a creative writing assignment - always, always - I would write poems. I never knew anything about meter & rhyme and...

When I was growing up, we had family friends with Cairns. I mean quite a few Cairns. I liked those little dogs. Of course, they were at least 7# x 2 in size. Bonzo really seems like a terrier in her approach to life. I mean that she is very independent - yeah, and size-confused . . . The poodle...

This is "news" that I just came across. I didn't quite know where to put it on the forums. The moderators can move it, if they'd like to: Dr. William F. House, Inventor of the Cochlear Implant, Dies

Welcome, Hotaru! I'm not anti-cat but just a minute ago posted a picture of Bonzo the dog over in the pet picture forum. Well okay, I like cats . . . just haven't had one in a coon's age. I moved into severe hard of hearing about 10 years ago and now just barely hear voices with hearing aids...

This is my "grandpuppy." Bonzo is my daughter's dog but she is dropped off here about twice a week. The picture is over a year old but, she never grew up! I never had such a tiny dog (not 7#)! My dogs have always been stock dogs, there was a pug and we had pointers years ago. The stock dogs...

Having a 2nd FULL mug of coffee and hoping it gets rid of this developing headache. Nothing to do with alcohol. Must be the weather change from snow storm yesterday to a slush city wind storm today! :shock:
