Hey peeps, I’m seriously thinking of starting a regional forum for my area, youngstown and /or northeast Ohio.

The forum would be the typical meet new people, talk about your life, etc. But also to discuss state and local issues, give people a place to vent, etc.

Any thoughts on this?

Our new site for owners/fans of Jack Russell Terrier dogs is a hit!!  We’ve been open a week now, and have 11 members and quite a bit of activity.

Whether you own a JRT, or another breed of dog, or another pet altogether, you’re welcome to come join us. We’re a friendly, lively bunch. 

Just follow this link, and see what it’s all about –> Love My JRT!

I have a new site opening this week folks!  Exciting stuff!

The new site is a discussion site for pet-parents of Jack Russell Terriers – Love My JRT! JRT’s are a blast, and very popular little dogs. If you have, have had, or are just a fan of, Jack Russells’, feel free to come join us.  We also have an area for other dog breeds as well. 

I look forward to seeing you there  and to getting to know you!  :yes:

I hope that all of you have a safe, healthy, peaceful, happy, and prosperous 2011.

Here’s hoping it’s better than 2010 was! 

This poem was written by somone I met on the internet. I have his permission to post it here.

Enjoy. 

A Christmas song,
has come along.
But not so long,
for me to write this rhyme,
for what I don’t have any time.

But for you I do,
anything to stay true,
until Christmas eve,
had its debrief.

Its snowing outside with snowballs alright,
kids making fun, while there is no sun,
to melt the snow away,
no the snow likes to stay.

How did your day go?
mine did fine,
I had the time,
to visit some family again of mine.

Christmas tomorrow,
will be nice,
eating and presents,
by surprise.

or NOT!

WOW we’ve been getting slammed with the snow this winter.  As of the 13th of December, we’d already broken all snow record totals for the entire month!   I don’t mind it much tho, as long as I’m at home with my mug of hot chocolate. 

However, I do wish that my son liked to get out and play in the snow. It would be so much fun to get out there and throw snowballs, or build a snowman, or make a snow angel.  But alas, he’s not an outdoors kinda kid, doesn’t like to play outside in any season, snowy season being no different.

I have spent the past week painting my dog, Mr. Bowjingles.  It was an enjoyable experience for us both.   Now he’s outside where he belongs.  Here are a couple of pics of him. Isn’t he handsome?!?!?

At least for now. Who knows that the weather will be like next week, eh?
This is what I woke up to this morning!

This is AWESOME!  The little 8 yr old girl is a singing sensation, with her youtube videos going viral in a heartbeat.  Listen, and you’ll see why.

It is so much fun.    I got the wreaths up on the door, the red bows hanging in the windows, the lights up on the lamp post and the banisters outside the door.  Just have one more area to decorate outside, then will put the tree up inside.

I will post a pic or two next week.

aaaahhhhhh, have I mentioned that I LOVE Christmas?!?!?
