Winter returns it's hold

-
We have had a very strange winter around here. It started off at the end of last year with a lot of snow, all the ski areas were doing well, and we had above average snowpack. Then it stopped just like someone flipped a switch. We had a couple of months with nothing but wind, which I just hate.

Now we have two more storms coming after getting a huge dumping of snow. All the meteorologists are trying to explain it, but I know the secret. They finally replaced the Elf...

    I trust that Keebler doesn't have this same problem.

    It's a beautiful day o'er here in NE Ohio, should you wanna stop o'er for a beer. I went for a 3 mile walk in only a light pullover and the neighbours are out futzing in the back yard. I'm sure I'll smell charcoal as evening comes on.

    So, stop by when U get th' chance!!

    I don't think that's "snow", dude. And I'm deeply suspicious of these so-called "elves".

    Everyone knows that elves have long, flowing white hair and smell like Orlando Bloom.

    Don't forget to dye your eggs this Sunday, or you'll never find them in all that snow.

    Well I'm so glad that security is still tight up there. Elves - can't live with them...apparently now you CAN shoot them.

Repost: Everyone uses the word, what's your problem

This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States. We benefit from having an international membership, because it can be quite interesting to hear about viewpoints or medical procedures that are going on in other countries. Over the years, I have had faceless names become close friends, engaged in discussions about body functions you wouldn’t mention to your doctor, and gained a valuable sounding board for advice and ideas. I have grown to care about a lot of these people, and their lives as much as some of my own friend

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
