Tonight for dinner; I opened up a can of tamale. I am not going to buy any more tamales that come in a can. For some reason; the tamales does not taste the same as they did a few years ago. I wonder if my taste for them changed...

Dr. Ann I know those bear no resemblance to fresh tamales, @Scrapper88 but I remember what a comfort food they were when we were kids! I haven't eaten anything like that in 20 years or more, as homemade tamales are cheap and plentiful in my neighborhood, but if your...

Cats Will Be Cats and Do As They Please

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 3 Feb 19

One day long ago I was writing a post for some site about Spanish moss. I was out with my camera on my Templeton property taking pictures of it, since there's always an abundance of it in the trees. At that time my neighbor's cat...

Dr. Ann I think the strangest thing a cat ever did was to jump into the bathtub while I was in it. Apparently it mistook the bubbles for solid ground.

Seeking Peace and Quiet

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 2 Sep 18

I seem to be turning into more of an introvert every day. I hunger for solitude that's hard to find now that we're living in the city. There seems to be noise everywhere that I can't control. That makes me tense and crabby. I...

Dr. Ann That is why instead of having one big house I have several small ones. When people (or things) get on my last nerve at one of them I can go to the other. I call it Cloud Living. Besides I meet interesting people on my "commute" - I think you know one of...

Dr. Ann If people want to hurt themselves that is their business, but it seems to me that this kind of activity would endanger others, which is inexcusable.
