sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

I suppose these fucking morons think we could have negotiated with Hitler too. They really think we can negotiate with Putin??? Who happens to have an arrest warrant for War Crimes?? And continues to slaughter innocent civilians. And he won’t stop with Ukraine. Have they been eating the ice cream too fast resulting in severe brain freeze? Culminating in relentless stupidity?
I love your picture, Karen. tell me a bunch of stuff about YOUR beautiful companion and why've you been holding out on us? I'm never altogether sure what these guys mean when they talk about "negotiation." the supporters of what is pretty laughably referred to as "realists" (the Mearsheimer/Kissinger types) might have some points to make on a theoretical level about how we might have mishandled relations with Russia since the USSR collapsed, but even a bunch of them were shocked and horrified a…
Hi David, My beautiful, Siberian Husky companion is Natalie. She was my best friend for almost 15 years. She died several years ago and of course my heart was broken. She was so sweet and loved everyone. She went everywhere with me except work of course, although she would have been a great therapy dog. I miss her still and wanted to honor her by posting this picture. We were at the coast in March and she so happy. Aside from playing and tunneling in the snow, running on the beach was her favor…
Rescue a senior dog if you have room in your heart/mind! If you do not, well, no judgment from me. I know how much losing a canine friend hurts.
After Natalie died a feral/abandoned kitten showed up and I started putting food out. I didn’t know the gender until she had kittens. Before I could live trap them and get them fixed mama kitty had 4 more kittens and 2 of her first litter had 11 kittens between them. It took me close to 1 year but I finally was able to catch them and get them all spayed/neutered and vaccinated. I was able to tame several kittens and adopt them out and my neighbor took several. I now have 6 that have become my p…
that's beautiful. if I had the right kind of space, I'd already have been doing it. I once (say, fifteen to twenty years ago) had this idea of buying a little place in the country and doing just that. but, while I make friends easily, the main people in my life are HERE, and I can't do without them. and, I hope, vice-versa. but, responding to Penfist, I've long considered doing just that, based on my own current and abiding physical issues. ALL of my dogs have been rescues. it only makes sense, since a good rescue group will already have done the appropriate behavioral evaluations. my last two ESs were mother and daughter, and they both had Degenerative Myelopathy, which we know as ALS. so they had to leave me on the same day. after he'd given the shots and I'd started my sobbing, the vet told Rochelle and Danny to get me someplace else while he did the appropriate removal stuff. I think I sat with them and watched a version of "Hamlet," but I have no real memory of the rest of the day. Meg was born a therapy dog. she could walk into any room, size everybody up and then walk over to the person who, she figured (always correctly) most needed her attention. and she was ALWAYS right. I miss them all. the worst part of getting older (so far, anyway) is losing people, of every species.
