Speaking of sexual vocalization: The female fox is called a vixen in homage to human females because when in sexual heat they make very loud sounds like a woman in the throes of sexual lust. I was a volunteer feeder/cage cleaner at an animal care center and one day while doing my rounds I kept hearing a woman moaning. I tracked the sound down to a female red fox situated in a dog run next to an arctic male fox's run. She kept coming to the fence and rubbing on the chain link while the poor male fox was going crazy trying to 'date' her. He was fixed the next week but he would have had beautiful kits with that lady fox.

Maybe it's just me, maybe it's because I'm old now but I am really tired of watching movies and tv shows (ex: game of thrones) that look they were shot with only 1 or 2 lamps for lighting. I get it that horror movies like dark sets for the 'atmosphere' but if I have to strain my eyes trying to figure out what I'm seeing instead of just watching the entire show without such distractions then the director defeats the purpose of telling their story. Lighten up, people. Lighten up!

When I lived in Louisiana for ten years we installed a small pond on our front yard. I bought a dozen feeder fish (goldfish) and put them into the pond where they thrived and got bigger and bigger. They were about 8 inches long when they disappeared. I figure a bird or raccoon had a feast of them. I ended up buying more feeder fish and they grew big, too, and then disappeared. Between some animal biding their time to have a really big snack and my city spraying the area w/poison (unannounced so we had no time to cover the water in the pond!) to kill off mosquitoes which killed off my fish, too, we finally just caught the local fish in the bayou behind my back yard and put them in the pond. Nothing would kill those little guys.

Now, since I love all things Harry Potter, I would buy those cookies. They probably cost a lot but for a one time experience I would gladly buy a pack of 4 cookies.

If I found his lockbox I would tell no one. Not a soul. Because you can bet the gov't would be knocking on my door with some scheme to tax it or claim it. Nope, not telling a soul.

I have never tasted this strange food. I wonder if it is super sweet and thick like store bought eggnog? Not a winner for me if it is. Maybe it would be good in coffee?

Yes, he has no bananas. He has no bananas today.

My daughter owns a used bookstore and she always has people wanting to use her employees only bathroom. I'll have to pass this article on to her.

Well, now I'm worried about that darn bug. I kept expecting something to happen.

My dog is a rescue pup, I got her at 7 weeks. She bonded to me instantly. Tucked her head under my chin for the 1 1/2 hr drive home and clings to me as much as she can still and is 6 yrs old. She loves to stare into my eyes as long as possible, loves hugs and pats, burrows under my blanket at night. She's well mannered, eats off a fork or spoon w/o making a mess. Refuses to go for walks w/o me and being unable to walk I stay home and so does she.She also has a service hoominal - my husband - that takes care of her bathroom breaks, meals and water, baths, nail trimming and coffee cookie time when each day my husband makes me an espresso and the dog gets a special treat, too. Life is good if you are my dog.

What about blood? Do people who have had blood transfusions have the same experiences as organ recipients - maybe for a lesser amount of time?

Did she get her purchase reimbursed or a reward from the German Gov't for giving it back to them?
