Supplements for your dogs (Pupplements? Haha)

beeeckie @beeeckie (802) • United States 22 Apr 12

Our dogs are old. And by old, I mean ANCIENT, for dogs. Cassie is 17, and Dela is 14. They both take a glucosamine supplement for their varying levels of arthritis, and we just started them on an acidophilus pill for their...

What happened to being responsible for your own children?

beeeckie @beeeckie (802) • United States 15 Apr 12

At a show I worked at last night, one of the other usher's niece and nephews were there with their mother (who was not really visible compared to the kids). They used their aunt's position there as an excuse to run wild. As in,...

Trading cable for streaming services

beeeckie @beeeckie (802) • United States 14 Apr 12

We moved into our house a little over a year ago, and made a conscious decision to not subscribe to cable. Netflix is our main source of television, as well as whatever comes in on the antenna. Between those and our busy...

theater etiquette

beeeckie @beeeckie (802) • United States 30 Jan 12

Sooo...I volunteer for a professional theater doing various things. We had Rock of Ages come by this past weekend (AWESOME!!!) but the crowds got a bit drunk and rowdy, leaving quite a few bottles and beverages around after they...

Bunnies and their awesomeness

beeeckie @beeeckie (802) • United States 18 Jan 12

I have a pet bunny. She literally hopped into our lives, abandoned and looking for a forever home. We were initially going to foster her as we already had a few animals...and then we named her. That was it, and she's been here...

SOPA and you

beeeckie @beeeckie (802) • United States 18 Jan 12

A lot of sites are going dark today, such as Wikipedia, to protest the Stop Online Piracy Act. This is because, while piracy of intellectual property should remain illegal, the SOPA will also seriously infringe on free speech,...

Kicking the diet soda, hopefully for good

beeeckie @beeeckie (802) • United States 17 Jan 12

For most of my life, I have been a voracious and habitual soda drinker. The consumption steadily increased during my adulthood and I've tried to quit off and on for a number of years. Often I've felt similar to smokers (though I...

A broken neck...serious injuries are learning experiences

beeeckie @beeeckie (802) • United States 26 Oct 10

I have a broken neck. It is a little over five weeks into healing. I don't want to get into much detail about how I broke my neck -- it was a car accident which was my fault. No one else was involved or hurt (thank god). Has...

Pit bulls

beeeckie @beeeckie (802) • United States 2 Apr 10

I love them! There is a major stigma attached to them, but I feel it is mostly about who the pet parent is and how the dog is treated and raised. One of our dogs is a yellow lab/pit bull mix. Lucky for us, she looks like...

... and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

beeeckie @beeeckie (802) • United States 1 Apr 10

Remember the book "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day"? That was my day today, more or less, the adult version with work, insurance, life, etc. Yuck. Ever have that day where things just pile up until...

Long hair

beeeckie @beeeckie (802) • United States 29 Mar 10

Who's got very long hair? Mine is about halfway down my back so far, and I'm working on growing it longer. It is also very fine so I have to watch for split ends and breakage, but overall it's pretty smooth. Currently I'm doing...

is this indeed the saddest book ever published? (silly)

beeeckie @beeeckie (802) • United States 25 Mar 10

http://www.spreadthefword.com/2010/03/saddest-book-ever.html Microwave Cooking for One! From the appearance of the cover (hair, clothes, appliance), this book is from the late 70s/early 80s when microwave cooking was more of...

19 Kids & Counting - The Duggars

beeeckie @beeeckie (802) • United States 23 Mar 10

I am fascinated by this family and their show. Their values are so different from mine, and because their lifestyle is so different from mine, I enjoy watching them. I kind of don't know why I do, otherwise! I can't help watching...

Blackberry

beeeckie @beeeckie (802) • United States 22 Mar 10

When I got my Blackberry phone last year, I pretty much stopped going on the computer for several months because I didn't have to! Everything I wanted to check up on was accessible on my phone, to the point where it was weird to...

Scam companies trolling via Monster.com

beeeckie @beeeckie (802) • United States 22 Mar 10

Yuck. Isn't it annoying to post your resume on Monster and then have the phony, pyramid scheme companies come knocking on your email inbox almost instantly? I just got one from American Income Life Insurance and since it was...

beeeckie @beeeckie (802) • United States 22 Mar 10

Joan Crawford's birthday!

beeeckie @beeeckie (802) • United States 23 Mar 09

Today is the 104th or 105th anniversary of Joan Crawford's birth (depending on which age you believe, she changed it sometimes). Do you prefer her older, A-list movies, or her later B-grade cheese?

Six Things You Didn't Know About "Leave It To Beaver"

beeeckie @beeeckie (802) • United States 20 Mar 09

http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/23847 This is somewhat amusing (with a couple of downers), though you may already know some of these facts. I'm surprised they left out Tony Dow's bipolar disorder.
