Victoria Stilwell is starring in a wonderful TV series entitled “It’s Me or The Dog”  I really enjoy watching it and I’m sure it has helped a ton of people with their dog issues. The Animal Planet is a great channel that I’m glad I get with my cable package. There isn’t that many good shows on these days but I can usually find something good on that channel day or night.

I really enjoyed the George Lopez show and still like watching the reruns late at night some times. It is too bad that his late night talk show isn’t as entertaining as his sitcom was, but I do watch it from time to time. I think a lot of it has to do with all the lights and flashiness of the set. It turns me off, but it seems that a lot of the new show are that way, bummer!

I have had the opportunity to spend a good portion of my life on the many waters around this world and have seen too many close calls and accidents that happened, and the majority of the operators could plainly been seen drinking some type of alcoholic beverage, beer being the number one choice. Drinking and then driving anything can and have causes serious incidents and accidents and the number of people doing this is growing larger every year it seems.It wouldn’t surprise me to see in that in the not to near future that some type of permit may be necessary to operate all of the different types of boats.

As much as I have some strong opinions about Big Brother and all, I am starting to think that licensing for this serious issue might be a good idea. Of course I’d have to see all that it could require and all that. Something to check into online sometime in the near future.

Years ago I must have expressed out loud in front of someone, somewhere, something about the cuteness of a frog lawn ornament, that had caught my eye, for some reason. I didn’t even buy the frog, but some how that was to be the start of the many, many frogs that have now seemingly taken over my house and lawn. Word got out and frogs are a constant, but welcomed gesture from folks, as a gift, a token, a present, a tip (after all, I am a bar tender, and we receive quite a variety of tips now and then) from virtually everywhere from all types of people that I have/had a relationship with over the years. I must have a frog made out of any and every type of material that is known to man, in all kinds of sizes, and stances.

For Christmas I was given a frog aquarium kit, which requires a check to be sent in with the order for the frogs to come in the mail, or I could go down to one of the many pet stores that have popped up all over the place in the past few years. I’m sure at least one will have baby frogs for sale, it seems like the more humane way to receive new members of the family. But going to the pet stores, any of them like PetCo, Puppy Palace, and Petsmart always leaves me with me wallet emptied out and my heart broken from not being able to take home more of the critters that are all there, just waiting for a home, and knowing that their chances of being purchased and treated adequately highly reduces most of their survival rates.

One of the places that I try not to go in to are the A.S.P.C.A. and Animal Shelters, I have never left one yet with out crying like a baby and feeling like a piece of scum, and dirty. Not something that I enjoy or look forward to doing, ever.

I came across a site the other evening while surfing the net, it’s at thecouplespot.com. Now it’s not that I am into meeting people online, I’ve never even been into a chat room, but I somehow ended up there and what caught my eye was the way they advertise as a great way to meet people, couples actually, (even families, with similar interests, from all over the world and they have a link designed with military couples in mind. I think that it is a cool idea and I can see where there is a need for those amongst us with similar tastes and practices in lifestyles to be able to reach out and share what they have in common with others.

Of course it is always a lot more fun to be able to do things with those who like to do the same things. If you’ve a family, then you’ll want to know of those who have families as well and know what its like. Or if you’re about to move it’d be nice to know there are those in the area that could ease your transition, help with schools, churches or whatever. And besides, it’s even a great tool for doing a little networking and actually putting yourself out there and becoming known!
