Story 510153800

Chickie went through a pretty hairy time this month, but I hope she’s relieved herself of all residual intestinal furriness, and that the new food will work, now that she’s used to it. I told Sara: By my calculations, if Chickie throws up three more…

Something Old, Something New

Story 509660632

One of the nice things about Market Wagon is that I can order from stores we don’t have around here. Sara was MOST pleased to learn I can order from Lotsa Pasta. I got some Black Bean Ravioli: I had made a stir-fry that I…

Story 508397740

Hi, there! I’m Tipper Allen, and guess what? Chickie snuck onto the table and messed with an empty plastic bag Momma left there. Momma heard the rustling and came in to see what was going on, and it’s a good thing she did! Chickie had…

FriendDoors – England Again #ThursdayDoors

Story 507434941

Not All That Clever, But Fun #MondayRecommends #NailArt

Story 505926607

I just spent a few minutes “chatting” with a computer on a site called Cleverbot. I chatted with one many long years ago at the Louisville Science Museum, and it was most impressive. Cleverbot, not so much. But it was fun. Here’s a link to…
