Valerie Bertinelli is marrying Tom Vitale. Both are in their 50's.

Today I am headed to the VFW to participate in the activities there. God bless our men and women who fought for our freedom!

''It is unclear, but scientists theorize that we close our eyes to protect them. We may be protecting our eyes from microorganisms and particles from our sneezes," said Dr. Bonnie Henderson, director of comprehensive ophthalmology at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. But it could also be simply because a sneeze is a kind of bodywide reflex in which a lot of muscles contract, not just in the nose and throat but also those in the diaphragm, the abdomen, thighs, back, even sphincters (which is why some people with stress incontinence may urinate slightly when they sneeze).

Researchers aren't sure exactly why the sneeze reflex happens, but whatever neurological message tells the eyes to close probably comes from a primitive part of the brain called the medulla oblongata in the brain stem, Henderson said. And, it's not just an irritation in the nose that can trigger a sneeze; some people, probably because of genetics, have a photic reflex, which makes them sneeze in response to sudden, bright light.

And, in case you were wondering about that old wives' tale about the heart skipping a beat when you sneeze, rest assured: It doesn't, though it may pause for a fraction of a second before resuming its normal rhythm, said Dr. Thomas Graboys, director of the Lown Cardiovascular Research Foundation in Boston. That pause is believed to occur due to a change in intra-thoracic pressure, or pressure in the chest, when you sneeze. That pressure may stimulate the vagus nerve, which in turn slows the heart rate down for a brief moment.

This is not dangerous, Graboys noted. But it's believed that people began saying ''God bless you" when a person sneezes because they believed that, in that brief moment, you were between heaven and hell, and, if you were blessed, you'd be saved from damnation.

what can I say? im bored, and got nuttin better to do...

[Ms. Tabitha]

Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
When you say, 'I love you,' mean it.
When you say, 'I'm sorry,' look the person in the eye.
Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
Believe in love at first sight.
Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much.
Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.
In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
Don't judge people by their relatives.
Talk slowly but think quickly.
When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, 'Why do you want to know?'
Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
Say 'bless you' when you hear someone sneeze.
When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions.
Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
Spend some time alone.

ME TOO!! I just kept saying "nu-uh!! no he didn't!" That was a mad crazy episode!! I love Miranda...she is probably my favorite on that show...except for Dr. Torres of course....she can have my baby any freaking day!!

Well....I do believe I have rescued another puppy, thanks to my Sissy......

And, while I may have 'rescued' her from the shelter (and certain demise), my sweet daughter has 'claimed' her.....she's feeding her....bathed her and they have bonded in the sweetest way! She has changed her name from "Toad" (God help me!) to Cotilla ~ which means "Nosey Parker" in Spanish. She's calling her "Coti" (KO-tee) for short.

Tomorrow morning, we shall travel to Animal Trustees of Austin, where they will give her the once-over....I'm pretty sure she's not had her shots, probably needs a de~worming, and she's not spayed.

I'm proud of my daughter. These two will be so good for each other!

(Coti really looks like that!)

All I could think of was ~ Holy Mother of Gay, I'm sure his classmates made fun of him when he was little.....

Um....I'm sure his mommy thought he was cute.....and maybe his sense of hearing is profound......

[Rook]

i'm sure he's basking in the sweet smell of Success, thinking "ha ! eat crow 5th grade bullies"

Tehtoh woke up on the cranky side of his hammock this morning.....
twice i saw him "disciplining" Mathilda after she pounced him...
twice I scruffed him for being mean...so, back to the cage until grumpy glances melt away...

[Just_G]

Two days down, one to go....tomorrow is the last day of the first quarter!! SOOOOOO close!!

This has been a fantastic week considering all of the stress around me. One day at a time, deep breath, think positive....God will be good to me as long as I am grateful for all things in my life!

Please send my sister some positive mojo and prayers if you pray...she is having surgery tomorrow to fix her leg that is broken in 3 places. Thank you in advance.

Bring on Wednesday...I am ready!!

Well, that evening I couldn't let the cat sleep in the entryway and hauled her inside. The next day, I took her to the vet only to discover "she" was a "he" and had large abscesses from fighting.

So his growths were cut and drained, he was neutured, and has since been checked over for anything nasty like fleas or worms, and has been given all of his shots except for one more booster in 3 weeks.

I am the proud owner of a scrawny tom cat named "Leonard" for a mere $450.00.

But.....I love this cat! He's such a momma's boy. No matter where he is outside, he'll come running right home to me and when he smiles he has two huge fangs hang out. It's a riot. I call him "Fang Face" sometimes.

In the short time he's been here, he has gained 3 ounces already, which I'm sure is due to the Science Diet for kitties, Fancy Feast nightly, and a bowl of cream and Whiska snacks. He's a good kitty and this is his home.


Welcom to your new home, Leonard!!!

Today, she and my dog made friends..and she decided she likes me. She came in the house everytime I opened the door while I was trying to hang laundry. She seems to enjoy my ankles. She's lonely. She wants to be heard. She smacks up the dog when necessary.

She lets me pet her and isn't feral. I have no idea where she came from. Tonight, I noticed her humpback is due to a large cyst or spongy growth on her shoulder blade. It's not painful to the touch and she's full of energy so I'm not sure what to make of it.

I told her if she's still around in the morning, I'll take her to the vet. Bear in mind, I don't want a cat. They make me itch. They leave hair on my pillow. They get on the counters at night. I like feral cats..who live outside.

The cat and my dog are obsessed with each other and are communicating through the kitchen window. The cats sits on the chair on the patio on the outside of the window..and BLossom sits on the chair at the table in the kitchen. And, they communicate. A lot.

I've been sneaking around my kitchen for the last 3-4 hours. The cat has been eating at the feeders, sitting on the patio chair, and now she's in the entryway off the kitchen. Resting comfortably. She doesn't appear to have plans to go anywhere. I hesitate to have her in the house until she is checked over by a vet..but I feel awful thinking about her out there.

I have company arriving Wednesday. I need a mani/pedi. Blossom is getting a bath and a shave.

Blossom just had a $260.00 surgery bill and needs shots in June. She has an Secondary AV heart block and her vet care is expensive.

I DON"T NEED A $300.00 VET BILL FOR A SCRAWNY HUNCHBACK CAT!!!!

Yet this kitty has adopted us. Blossom has adopted her. Try as I might, I can't NOT like this cat.

Ughhh... I might have been adopted against my will. Again. Sigh, I'm taking a comforter out there for her to sleep on.

I felt like I was sitting on the edge of the couch the whole time... rocking. Then I had to watch the end kissing scene with Arizona & Callie about 5 times ~ 'cause D had the remote and kept sayin' **RAWR**

McSteamy is pretty HOT... I'm not a big fan of McDreamy. And the guy with the pretty eyes ~ SWOON. I think I might be crushing hella hard!
