veterinarian

I remember when I was about twelve years old, I was dead set on becoming a veterinarian. It's funny how life changes... I planned to get allergy shots to treat my allergies, and I would get to spend every day in Veterinarian Jobs with dogs and cats. Mostly dogs, though! I still love animals, and I still spend as much time with my friends' dogs that I can. But life has certainly led me on a very different path!

writers block

I have writers block today. It is seriously frustrating to stare at the monitor and think of nothing that I can writing about anything. I resort to doing strange little articles about strange subjects like opiate detox treatment, which actually pays pretty well, oddly enough. Oh well. I guess that is the strange life of being a writer. Que sera sera.

writing and netbooks

I am writing so much more lately. I love it, but I can't help but wonder if I shouldn't invest in tablet netbooks to make it a little easier on me when I'm sitting in a recliner or otherwise not at my desk. It's hard to justify, though, since I really should replace one of my laptops soon. I hate the idea of buying a laptop AND a netbook at the same time!

bathtubs

My old apartment had a clawfoot tub. It was really not a very nice bathroom, or even a very nice apartment. It was in desperate need of remodeling! But I have fond memories there. It was an old home, but it was a cozy home, and it was my home.

Mom's Challenge

Guest post written by Kevin Beach

My mom is about as into technology as a caveman and I was determined to try and up her tech quota. She didn’t even have a cell phone when I got started with her! I took her to the Verizon store and got her a nice flip phone (start her off easy, that’s what the clerk told me) and she’s finally gotten used to that. I got her a plasma TV for the house and she likes that a lot too but she doesn’t really understand the concept of Direct TV which I got her to go along with it. The next step I think is taking her to an Apple store and getting her a Mac but for the time being I guess I’m going to have to be okay with her not able to email. I have a feeling teaching her how to use a laptop is going to be a really, really uphill battle that will spawn not just a few fights so I’m saving that one until I’m ready.
