Ramblings

Day after the Super bowl, which i didn't watch, never really got into football, especially if the home team isn't involved. So I get on the net and check out the commercials which in my opinion a very large percentage of people watch the Super Bowl for anyway. I wasn't impressed, a couple made me laugh, some were inventive but overall...big deal.

Cold, cold, cold!!!!! that is all it has been for weeks now, or at least it seems so. Longest stretch of consecutive days below freezing since back in the 1970's here! So cold that when it snows, it is very dry snow, can't make a snowman or a snowball but it is still slick!! do not want to see heating bills, will take months to pay off.

Can't find Whiskas cat food in the single pouches anywhere all of a sudden. Max and Owen are not happy over this development in our local grocers and Walmarts. No not one single bit. Out of desperation and attempts to appease them I bought some canned cat food that said "turkey and giblets in gravy" with the "in gravy" being the words that drew my attention to it knowing what they go for! So I bought some, took it home, opened a can and found about 1/4 tsp of gravy and some kind of mush which I guess was the turkey and giblets. I gave it to them, they ate some but we all know this will not suffice, not for their palates, no way Jose!!

Keepers have been helping an on line friend of ours come to some sort of understanding of her multiplicity. Hearing the diagnosis and accepting it are two different things. Sometimes there is a very long time between the two. It is only normal to not accept it even though it explains a lot. As another friend said in her blog, to accept the diagnosis I have to accept the causes and I don't want to do that.

We have another on line friend that we know is doing way too much and the toll is wearing her down very much. We are afraid for her life it is that serious. She has a heart condition, physically there are problems, emotionally it is too big, it is full of love for fellow man and animals. She too is a survivor, not a multiple, but a survivor and she needs to ease off a bit before she puts herself in the ground in which case she will be no good to anyone, no help to anyone, she will just be gone forever, a memory. We hope she can find a way to ease off and help herself also.

The unneeded tragedy here the last several days, two children have been killed by other children with guns!! One was two the other three, one by a handgun one by a shotgun, the handgun was left on a table, loaded, next to the couch in full view. The shotgun was under the couch, whether it was loaded or not has not been determined yet. No matter, two children are dead because adults left guns easily accessible, two children are dead because other children shot them. Were they not taught that guns kill? Where does the blame lie? On media? parents? adults in charge? everyone? nobody? Two children are dead, does anybody care?

Have a nice day
