I’d like you all to meet the new wiser-dog, Tequila, or as we call him Tiki. He’s a “rescue dog“ (which is really a fancy way of saying “mutt that we adopted”) that we got from Tennessee. He’s a mix of Jack Russell terrier and something else (who knows and who cares, really.) And just to keep Rosetta from totally freaking out, Tiki will probably never get much bigger than 30 lbs.
The kids love him, he’s about the friendliest dog in the world and actually pretty smart. He’s got some weird quirks too, like when you give him a biscuit, he takes it and runs into his cage, puts it down and waits for you to leave him alone before he will eat it, that just make us laugh. Of course, when I came downstairs this morning and saw that he had almost eaten our couch, I realized we still have a way to go with his training.
I think I prefer him to any purebred, mainly because of the horror stories I’ve heard about puppy mills and breeders who can be pretty cruel. Seriously, if you are thinking of getting a dog, check out getting a rescue dog and forget about the purebreds. That is really just perpetuating cruelty to animals.
Margaret Truman Daniel Dies
I love to read mysteries. MTD was not one of my favorite authors, but I have read most of her mysteries. What the mystery element of her books was missing, she more than made up for with her setting descriptions and behind the scenes details.
Oh, and she was also President Harry Truman’s daughter.Here is a young picture of her, because when ladies die they deserve to be remembered when they looked best.
It’s not makeup or paint that makes Paul Karason’s skin a bluish color.
Fourteen years ago, the 57-year-old started making the transition from fair skin and freckles to what he looks like today.
“The change was so gradual that I didn’t perceive it and for people around me, likewise,” Karason said. “It was just so gradual that no one really noticed. It wasn’t until a friend that I hadn’t seen in several months came by my parents’ place to see me and he asked me ‘what did you do?’”
Hahahaha! Did you get your hair cut differently? Did you lose some weight? I can’t quite put my finger on it…
What Karason did was use a substance called colloidal silver, which is made by extracting silver from metal. It goes into water with an electrical current and then you drink it. Colloidal silver is billed as something that will cure just about everything that ails you and Karason swears by it.
Apparently.
Karason does not believe drinking the potion is what caused his discoloration. He believes it happened because he rubbed it on his face to treat a skin problem.
He looks like what Santa would look like if he froze to death.
FYI - Blue balls jokes are extremely low-hanging fruit.
