They follow me around, looking at me with these expressive, brown eyes and I often find myself saying, "WHAT?" However, deep down, I know it has to do with treats, dog treats, cheese of a bit of lunch meat. I think they even fake having to go out to piddle, just to get a treat. They are pretty clever, or so they think. <br />Yet, they bring me so much happiness. They stay right by my side when I am sitting or in bed or walking, it is like having little kids. They really give so much, and don't ask for much in return. Gotta love that unconditional love.<br /><br />Glen Close, the actress, wrote a wonderful article on The Huffington Post, about the Stigma of Mental Illness. I just read it and had to comment. She talked about the roles she played in movies, but also the fact that her sister is Bi Polar and nephew also has a mental illness. She is helping to start a new group to stop the stigma here in the US. I think it is called Bringchange2ming.org or something like that. I'm thrilled and ready to quit my job to be a part of it. Try to read her article because it is what I have been trying so hard to do here, but spinning my wheels.<br /><br />Take care, my friend.<br />XOXOXOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076712181904223864.post-62593263313340111722009-10-22T19:27:54.194+02:002009-10-22T19:27:54.194+02:00Postage costs are at a ridiculous rate these days,...Postage costs are at a ridiculous rate these days, no one knows where they're up to with the sizes of envelopes and what to send in which packages.<br /><br />As for the animals, I know just what you mean.

I expected it to be expensive but not like that... But then, I can get 3 books from Ireland for 1 I send off overseas, so it's still OK. I went off immediately and requested some books from Ireland. :) <br /><br />We do have cobblers here although I haven't used one in a while.

Sometimes I think it must be cheaper to buy the books second hand where you live? <br /><br />Glad Jesker liked his new food. It would be very difficult to feel like you were denying him something tasty in your efforts to reduce his bulk. Your animals are so demanding! <br /><br />Sounds like you need the services of a cobbler! Not so easy to find these days. Over here it's cheaper to buy a new pair than get some repaired. <br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Bearfriend xxFriend of the Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338137165061207438noreply@blogger.com
