Nothing reflects the beauty of the seasons better than a national park. From snow-capped mountains to glistening streams to hillsides bursting with color, every time of year at a national park offers something special and breathtaking to behold.
So, when to go? If you loathe jam-packed parking lots and crowds, plan your trip during the early fall or late spring. Summer, which is extremely popular for family vacations, is understandably the busiest time of year. If you absolutely have to travel during the summer, try to plan your visit earlier or later in the season to avoid the peak. As for the serene natural beauty of wintertime, be sure to check ahead to make sure the park is still open. Some close during winter to accommodate heavy snowfall.
Yet another beautiful thing about nature? It's available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Natural areas of national parks usually are, too. In fact, fees are only collected during peak seasons and peak hours. Historic and information buildings typically run 9-5 hours, and can vary from park to park and season to season.

Sometimes we read an article so bad we have to "FJM it" as the cool kids say. This is one of those articles as Jim Stingl covers a non-story about Miller Park seat-squatters who apparently are everywhere and won't give up the seats once they are caught. Of course, there is just one example here and it's coming from a guy who felt the best way to handle it would be to contact Jim Stingl about it so, you know.
Miller Park seat-squatters are out in left field
Calling it seat rage probably overstates the problem a bit.
Yes, just a bit. Continue reading →

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Laura9999 Best shoes for hard surfaces Best shoes for standing long periods of time on hard surfaces. I am a surgical nurse and have tried very shoe possible and now can only wear these at work. They fully eliminated fatigue and back pain. Feels like walking on clouds yet so supportive. Not hard on bottoms of feet like so many others like mike and new balance. You don't realize til you are atanding on hard surfaces for 8 hours or more that these shoes are soft and comfy whereas the others start hurting bottoms of your feet within a few hours. Highly recommend you wont be disappointed. I have been wearing these exact model for five years now. One pair per year. 1/3/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by FlFitnessGal Outstanding Product Design Bought specifically for my job which keeps me on my feet 9 hrs a day. The DMX Max Mania sneakers have the most comfortable, contoured, and cushioned insoles of any athletic shoe I have ever owned. I love the innovative rounded ball and heel feature on the bottom of the sole. It definitely aids in shock absorption, alleviating the chronic swelling and pain that I endured prior to finding these amazing shoes. The only downside to this shoe is that it is rather wide and bulky- aesthetically speaking, it is neither attractive nor flattering. Still, I'd gladly trade that for comfort! 5/21/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ladybug better than I expected I had a pair of Reebok Easy Tones which I liked but I had a hard time finding them in stores after awhile so I decided to look on Reebok's website to see if they had them. They did but only as a design your own sneaker. At the time, I didn' want to pay that much for them. I never order sneakers online fearing that I would have to go through the returns process then have to re-order a different size or even a different style. So I took a chance and ordered the DMX Max. I chose these because they resembled the easy tones. I was greatly surprised. They fit perfectly. The cushion on the bottom of the sneaker where I need it - the ball of the foot and the heel feels just like my Easy Tones. I'm actually thinking about ordering my next pair online from Reebok and go through the process of designing my own sneaker to get the colors I want. 6/21/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by biddy55 Love them! I have bought these shoes now for over 10 years, at one time I couldn't find them, and they keep changing the name on them. Please keep making them and don't every take them off the market. I have two hairline fractures in both heals and birth defects in the upper region of my feet. These shoes are they only shoes I can ware for work, I stand and walk all day long. Use to only get them in my size in black, now I have them in white. Size 5. 9/25/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Darbo The most comfortable shoe I have ever worn I have been wearing Reeboks for years and these are the most comfortable shoe on the market. The air moves with each step you take which makes you feel like you are walking on air. The all around leather give you long lasting wear. I wish they would come in more colors then white and black. 11/23/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by dv67 the best shoe - still!! Reebok's dmx walking shoes continue to provide amazing support & comfort. I've worn them for years & won't purchase any other brands (because others can't compare!) I've been a Nurse for 17 years and the dmxs are the only shoes that keep me painless even during a 10+ hour shift on my feet. Thank you, Reebok. The shoe names change, but the quality & comfort just get better!! (Why else would I be writing a shoe review!?) 11/3/13
Rated 4 out of 5Â by SARose Very comfortable This was my first pair of Reebok's. I have very difficult feet that hurt all the time and have to walk long ways at work. At 61 it was tearing me up because of the foot pain. Bought these, received them about 9 days ago and have been breaking them in. So far I am very pleased with them. I am very picky because of my picky feet. Good, soft cushiony feel with acceptable arch support. ,At this point in my ownership I don't see what there isn't to love about these shoes. Time will tell how they wear and hold up. I totally recommend these shoes. 3/20/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by tootsieroll Best Shoes I looked around and couldn't find any Reebok DMX around my area and decided just to order online. I am so glad I did and look forward to walking this Spring. This is like the third pair of these shoes I have had over the years and am glad to see you still make them. 4/3/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Gracie489 Received my walking shoes right on time, and was able to wear them immediately - no breaking-in required. I do have a narrow heel, so there is some slipping if I don't wear heavy socks. The shoes felt a bit clumsy at first, but I got used to that rather quickly. They are comfortable, and I can wear them all day long without worrying if they are going to hurt my feet, or make my legs tired. They are certainly worth every penny, and no matter how many other brands I have tried, I always come back to Reebok; they work the best for me! Also, I love the pink ribbon, as someone who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, I appreciate all the support Reebok is doing for the cause. 4/18/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Abbalu great feel, wonderful shoes if only............. Sure would be nice if these comfortable shoes came in better colors for older folks. It would be simply amazing to have the taupe/tan color available once again. I actually felt comfortable wearing them when not necessarily working out but for everyday casual wear. Please bring back the tan or brown colored walking shoes. I am sure there are many older people out there who desire comfortable walking shoes that can be worn everywhere not just to the gym. 3/19/14

The sound of the ball bouncing. The sound of the ball going through the net, swooosh. The sounds of every breathe, that every player takes. The sound of the crowd when you make it and the sound of the crowd when the other team misses. The smell of the concession stand. The smell of the ball. The smell of all of those around you. The excitement in your belly when the team goes on a run. The disappointment in yourself when your players can't stop the other team. The want to, when you lose, to just put your arm around your players and tell them that it's just a game and in the big scheme of things this means nothing. Taking all the blame when your team loses and making sure your players get all the credit when you win.
If you have never coached, you don't get it. If you have never played a sport you don't get it. And if you have a debilitating disease like Parkinsons, you will remember each of those things like it was yesterday and will never forget every moment of every game and practice for the rest of your life. You may not be able to talk about it, act it out, or even write it down but you will remember. And to do what colleges around the country are doing to Texas A&M basketball coach, Billy Kennedy, is just cowardly.
Billy Kennedy is the Head Men's basketball coach at Texas A&M and has been diagnosed with Parkinsons just about two years ago. In a recent article from Yahoo Sports, Coach Kennedy admits he is in the best health of his life and is not surprised, that is a, all is fair and love is war mentality of recruiting that this is happening. Well Coach Kennedy I will be surprised for you then. I will then take over the role of being pissed off for you. I will take on the role of wanting to punch someone for doing this to you. It's a great thing that Coach Kennedy is approaching the subject in the matter that he is. But at the end of the day they are using his, no doubt one day debilitating disease, against him. According to the article earlier mentioned, recruits are telling him, that they have heard whispers from opposing staffs that he may only have a year or two left on the bench. WHAT? Coaches in the SEC should be ashamed and the NCAA should not only look into the allegations but when they find something those coaches, because of some stupid assistant, should be fined and suspended for deplorable act. Coaching in the NCAA is hard enough and getting recruits is even harder. But when you have ass. coaches, yes I meant to use the abbreviation, acting in this fashion there needs to be action taken.
As someone in a wheelchair, I am saddened that even in 2013 we will take ones short comings and use it against them even though we know it's WRONG. This puts a negative mark on NCAA basketball for allowing it. And puts a Scarlet Letter on the SEC and other coaches in the NCAA for doing this.
Stay strong Coach Kennedy, I will be watching closely this year to see how the Aggies fair. You Coach, are a pillar of strength that people should draw from. And from someone who is disabled, DO NOT let those BASTARDS get you down.

Humans of New York from Facebook Stories on Vimeo.
I received a copy of a seemingly strange book as a gift recently. It's called Humans of New York. My sister knows I have a big, bold, bright-eyed love for this big place called New York City. In addition, I'm a photography geek. Whether it's on my phone via Instagram or on my "big camera", I have a passion for capturing BIG and little moments all around me. So this book was kind of a no-brainer, super thoughtful gift.
My biggest pet-peeve is overly-posed photos. I guess it stems back to my hatred for anything unauthentic and fake. My heart and my head nearly explode in rage when I stumble upon phony-looking poses in photos. (Don't get me wrong - I'm a little bit addicted to Awkward Family Photos, but it's mostly for because they are SO completely ridiculous). You can tell when the subject and the photographer have a connection and a level of comfort with one another, even though you don't see the person behind the camera. A great photo bridges that awkwardness that often occurs when you stick a camera lens in someone's face. When someone bursts out in a laugh that starts in their gut and bellows through the air, I can't help but lose myself in the moment behind the lens of a camera. Real, authentic, raw photography is hard to find. This book is a testament to the life of a photographer that's just starting out. A photographer that has that innate sense that they have something to prove. A photographer that wants to leave the world a little bit better with authentic photography of real-life people in real-life situations. A photographer who bridges the awkwardness gap that happens when you ask a stranger to take their photo. A photographer who creates a real, authentic connection with whomever he/she is photographing.
My copy of this book is so much more than a measly coffee-table book. It is full of post-it marked pages of my favorite stories and photos. Most importantly, it's filled with my own ideas and dreams about this place I'm miserably in love with, sight-unseen.
This whole project is beautiful and different and heartbreaking and all sorts of wonderful. A glimpse of Brandon's story is told really well in this video. It is also amazing to see how social media has the ability to bring people together - wherever they are.

By JONATHAN LEMIRE
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - After abstaining from campaigning on Sept. 11, the candidates emerging from New York City's primary elections are expected to break their silence.
Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, a Democrat, was set Thursday to receive the support of unions that had previously supported City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who finished a distant third in Tuesday's primary.

Voices Question
Teachers: Should teachers friend their students on Facebook?
Comments: 26
Grade school students are challenged learners in social relationships. They struggle in deciphering the differences between classmates, neighbors, extended family and casual associations. Professionals must exercise self-discipline and not do over-the-top activities that will confuse students even more. "Facebook Friends" would be at the top of what to avoid. Let not friendliness (a character trait to be championed) be contaminated with the perception of friendship where the teacher-learner working relationship is to be the basis for interaction.
Dale Benjamin Drakeford
College faculty can friend former students, but I don't think it is a good idea for high school teachers to let students know too much about their personal lives. On the other hand, college faculty are protected by academic freedom (Hardy v. Jefferson Community College).
David Cooper
The amount of students and teachers who write stamped and posted letters back and forth has probably dwindled. Using a specially-created social media page lets each talk to the other and helps both keep a finger on the pulse of their lives. It is fine to sever all ties or to keep the relationship professional and distinct; it is also fine when there is a transparent, post-classroom friendship, however superficial, on Facebook.
Kimberly Bowsky
They should only friend their students if it is on a school FB page where all from the school community are apart.
zina burton-myrick
I only friend my students after they leave my building and head off to high school. I have used my influence to keep them from dropping out, sleeping with undesirables, and not living up to their expectations. Facebook has also allowed my to keep in contact with my former students, and I have had them come back to do service projects at our school. Overall, my interactions with my students are positive and professional, and critical to what good teachers do.
Ronald Hall
I agree with Lauren Isaacs Schimko's assessment of the use of Facebook with students and parents. A designated Facebook page to disseminate information to students and their parents is a way to take advantage of a technology the many of them use. A reminder of what homework is due, an upcoming test, an interesting link that coincides with classroom material being taught, praising classes that hand in all of their work on time ... and the list can go on and on. No I don't want to be "Facebook friends" with my students or their parents, but setting up a classroom page that can "Like" is a great way to interact with them using technology.
Mark Stewart
I have only "friended" student[and some of their parents] in a private group when we were going to take school trip in the summer. I only communicated info about the trip. Once the trip was over, I "unfriended" all of the students, thus closing the group.
Julie Goode
We should not friend students on Facebook. My first concern is to protect our fellow professionals. We must maintain this professional stance given the poor decisions made by some teachers in the last few years. Teachers are being used as a scapegoat for many of societies' ills.
Donald LeBlanc
No Because online conversation can be very open for students educators need to refrain. From "friending " a student ;the connotation is even inappropriate. Social media needs to be used only in a strict context of discussion of a classroom curriculum / homework or tutoring ;nothing personal- educators are held to a higher standard when working with students
pat WILLIAMSON
Content on facebook is not as "private" as one might believe. The more friends that can access one's wall the more the owner must continue to make sure the site is kid and parent friendly. Also those who make religious and political "likes" on their wall must always consider whether or not these opinions are suitable for sharing with students and parents. I know several teachers who manage a facebk page for their class and do it well, and some that don't. Districts should provide free web zone for teachers to post a social student/parent web page. Then the district will not need to be "responsible" for the facebk pages of their employees.
Janet McMillen
I set up a page for my choir. It has all of the dates for parents and students to access.
Roy Benson
I do not allow my students to friend me until after they have graduated from high school. Once they graduate, they are no longer my students or students of my school district. Until that point, I don't think it is proper. If they need help with work, they can always see me at school for tutoring or make a tutoring appointment with me at school.
Rebecca Starr
My no vote comes with a caveat. It is possible to set up classroom FB pages that cover only what is happening in the classroom. Reminders of special events, photos of guest speakers, photos of special projects, and even study guides, and homework reminders. If a teacher wishes to set up a classroom FB separate from their personal page then it could be beneficial. The educator must have in depth knowledge of how to use the privacy tools available for FB to keep inappropriate items from being posted onto the page.
Arlene Easter
I can see a facebook page set up for a class as useful. If this is where kids are, then set a class page for them to access class information, set up a discussion, etc. They aren't using school websites, teacher websites. Parents would be welcome to join - but that raises other issues
Charles Vochatzer
Over the years I have been asked by students to join their 'My Space, and now Facebok.' My reply is always that they may contact me on the school district e-mail if they have a question. If a student has kept in touch with you over the years, and has graduated high school, and is beyond the age of 21, then I think it is up to the individual educator. Personally, I still receive e-mails from former students, but it is always through school e-mail. That is the most prudent means of communication, other than a school visit. We are their teachers, their counselors, their mentors, but not their 'friends.'
Kathleen Perry
My policy is allowing former, graduated students to "friend" me on Facebook but not current students.
Dara Frazier
I say yes - BUT - not on their personal account. Teachers should set up a separate "teacher" account on which ONLY their students are added. They could than set up a private FB group, where the students could share class ideas, ect.
Wendy Allen
To me...it is a ridiculous question....it is a no brainer.....SERIOUSLY? At some point the teacher has to act like the ADULT...the PROFESSIONAL....why in heavens NAME would a teacher friend up with a student????
Sky Holcomb
Social media sites are not for teachers and their students. A line needs to be drawn somewhere and this is it. Respect and responsibility to your students does not begin here. It begins and stays in the classroom.
Laurie Batek
I think that teachers should not be friends with their students until that student is out of his/her class. Since it is weird for a teacher to know what that particular student is up to at all times. in addition to that if the teacher picked one student to add as a friend and not another it shows favoritism. it is smart that we keep up with our education but students are students and teachers are teachers.
Jessica Doehler
I don't think students and teachers should be FB friends. For one thing, it is like inviting children and teenagers to an adult party; I want to feel free to share my political beliefs and a few funny sites I wouldn't want them to see. Also, being FB friends with students opens us teachers up to suspicion. Even if all conversations are perfectly innocent--as 99.99% would be--the occasional student might get the wrong idea about a teacher. Finally, we can communicate freely using school email, so there is really no need.
mary katherine raines
I do not think that teachers should friend their students on FB. I think that is not only a liability but also not ethical. In most jobs there is a policy regarding fraternization and it's there for a reason. It is usually there to protect the employees and the employer.
Michelle Ramos Martinez
We are to connect with students, but I would never invite a student to come to my house for a party with my peers. Facebook relationships seem to be right in there with parents being buddies with their kids. I found that my grandson is being allowed to be on facebook, 5th grade, and he ask people he doesn't know to friend. He gets their names from the suggestions facebook offers from other people he doesn't even know. I would rather not be a part of false security for a student as well. Perhaps a more professional environment is classroom homepage where the theme is classroom.
Alice Russell
Just as parents have to walk a fine line between parent and friend, teachers must do the same. I can only see problems with friending students on FB.
Carol Rickman
No. The student to teacher relationship must remain a line relationship of a professional nature and there should not be any "friending" on Facebook or anywhere else. It is the invitation to a problem in many cases.

Here are some of the basic ideas of natural family living, as I understand it:
- Pregnancy and birth are normal processes that do not require drugs or interventions.
- Breastmilk is the optimum food for humans.
- Cosleeping helps to facilitate successful breastfeeding and bonding.
- Mothers and babies need to be together, especially during the first three to five years of life Human babies have a need to be touched and to be held in arms.
- It is important to cultivate a community of like-minded families for friendship, information, and support.
- Eat food that is in as natural a state as possible.
- The human body has the capacity to fight off illness without the use of drugs and interventions.
- Unstructured play is essential to the full development of the human imagination.
- Hitting and punishment are un-necessary when children's natural desire to cooperate is engaged to resolve conflicts.

Oh, I know Chrissy. Pretty sure my beliefs would be considered heathen by anyone who cared, anyway!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Man, I am in the stupidest quandry. My hippy beekeeper friend whom I adore was here a month or 2 ago and I was telling her how I really wanted to find a small desk for Sawyer because he likes to feel included during our school time and Savana and Kai both have a desk. Well she found a little desk at an antique shop and it seems she was texting me about it but I don't always have my phone on me so didn't get the texts to tell her to buy it or not. She bought it for $35. Not that $35 will make or break me but I'm pretty frugal and would never have paid that for an old desk. We got the other ones for $10 for both off craigslist and as it is, I found a little holly hobby one for 2.50 at St Vinny's a few weeks before xmas. My brother, who is also great friends with her, stayed with her in her yurt this past weekend and apparently she was asking him when I was going to pick it up. So....should I suck it up and just give her the money and take the desk I don't need? I know she has only good intentions but I didn't actually ask her to look for one for me.
And yes, she lives in a yurt! In Wisconsin winter, on her parents land because they are organic farmers, she works full time on the farm and her mom is suffering from late stage lyme disease so she really has to be there all the time but wants her own space. I admire it but don't think I could do it!

So long as we're together!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
That's a tough one, Bridget. I might be tempted to just suck it up and buy it from her, so long as it doesn't break you.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I know. It seems like the right thing to do. Bugger. Dbf will have a fit. He is such a stickler about money.
Krystal, I think they did do that in the movie. The scarecrow had no brains, but he was always the one saying "I have a plan". The tin man had no heart but he was very sensitive and was crying in the poppies scene. The lion had no courage but his bounding out at the rest of them was very courageous (even if he chose to attack Toto, LOL)
I just remembered something I wanted to tell you guys. Kai asked me the other night what the very first humans thought when they saw the very first human die. He wondered if they thought the person was asleep and how they could understand death if no one could tell them and they couldn't read about it. He totally caught me off gaurd with that question and a few seconds passed while I was formulating my answer and then he said, "Oh, i guess they saw plants and animals die so they probably knew what was happening."
I thought that was incredibly deep for a five year old and I had to share it here because when I shared it with dbf he gave me a look like it kind of freaked him out that Kai would think about that. I thought it was cool.
That's a smart kid right there, Bridget.
Kids understand a lot more than we think. Ever since we talked to Mira about Khan being sick and possibly dying, she gets concerned when anyone she knows gets sick. She even told me one night before bed that she didn't want her friends to die.
Even without the animal study aspect, it would be pretty awesome. As a kid, we went on 5 week long road trips every few years, and that was amazing.
As for the desk... Is she flat out asking you to pay for it? If not, depending on your friend, I might try saying something like "Wow, you didn't have to buy that for Sawyer, that's so sweet!", because maybe she meant it as a gift? Otherwise, again depending on the level of your friendship, otherwise I'd just be honest, and say something like "That is so sweet, thank you, but I really can't afford $35 for a desk right now..." But, if you think neither of those options are good, and it won't break the bank, then yeah, probably just roll with it...
On that topic, one of the shows Maiya has watched is the "Walking With" series. I think it's fairly well done and really liked it. I don't know if you guys do TV, but if you do, and if he wants to explore the ways the first humans thought, I would suggest to watch "Walking with Cavemen", and even "Walking with Beasts" (which starts before humans, but ends with the earliest humans). It even addresses the way they treated the dead, and what a huge mental milestone it was to think about what happens after death, because that involves imagination. Really interesting stuff!
That sounds cool. Mine are obsessed with the dawn of mankind. Where is that series?
It's this one. I really liked the whole series, but can't watch them with Maiya any more. One, we don't watch that much TV period, but two, she is SO sensitive right now, she'd freak out... I watched it on Netflix instant view.
I did a quick google search of Dawn of Mankind, but don't think I found the right one... Can you tell me more? Even if Maiya can't watch it, I might after she's in bed!
Oddly enough, this brings up the topic of humans and our evolution, and that is the ONLY thing making me think there's more to life than just random chance... I don't know what, I don't think it's some all powerful being or anything, but it just is so odd to me that, of all the billions of life forms that have lived on this planet, that ONE species, in billions and billions of years, ONE species has developed in this manner. I mean, no other life form even comes CLOSE to our level of intelligence and abilities. Boggles my mind! It's really fascinating...
Oh, one thing about "Walking with Cavemen", though, is that, while well done, it does just glance over a lot of details. The others in the "Walking with" series (Monsters, Dinosaurs, and Beasts) are all a lot more thorough. Each of them has something like 12 episodes, while "Cavemen" only has 2. I imagine that could be because we just don't have enough info and they didn't want to make as many guesses, but I was still a little disappointed. Like I said, it is fascinating, I would have loved it to be longer.
Krystal, I need to watch that! Like, now.
Bridget, I was going to suggest showing Kai some books about the earliest burial sites and what that meant about the people who made them and their mental abilities. I believe Neanderthals were the first to bury their dead, and there were retraces of pollen from flowers, as well as pigment, on the grave sites. If I remember correctly from when I was a teenager!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Oh, the dawn of mankind is just a general term. lol. They are just so interested in early life. I love that they are and really I've been learning a lot too because I was taught that god created us so I never learned anything about evolution when I was growing up.
I know what you mean but nature itself is such an effing miracle in itself! It's all pretty mindblowing.
Thanks for telling us about that. We need some new stuff to watch. I have had enough of magic schoolbus. Great science info but I can only take so much.
Last edited by Bridget; 01-28-2013 at 10:41 PM.
Hahaaha! The brains out the nose is Kai's FAVE bit of info.
I am watching "Vegucated" on netflix right now and oh. my. god. Break me heart watching the way these chickens are treated. On an organic farm, no less. A factory farm is a factory farm is a factory farm. I really, really really want to get some chickens.
Krystal, I saw and really enjoyed Walking with Dinosaurs and Beasts. I didn't realize there were others, though. Thanks for giving me some ideas for great shows to watch.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Ack, GWENN, I spelled your name Gwyn before, sorry. That's how my aunt spells her name... But I hadn't realized, either. I think the others are newer and somehow didn't make it as big over here. But still a good watch! Hope you enjoy it, let me know if you do end up watching them.
Oh, and Bridget, I would love chickens, too! My neighbors (who were like family to me) had chickens when we were kids, it was great! But now my backyard is too small for my cat, no way I could have chickens...
OMG, I am going crazy. Puppy came up to me 20 minutes ago asking to be let out. I put him out. 5 minutes later, DH came by wanting to know why he was still outside (because he hadn't asked to be let back in yet). So I told DH to let him in if he wanted. He did, then went back to his computer room (which is gated off so the puppy can't reach). Now puppy is pestering me again to be let back out.
Seriously. Just let him stay out until he's ready to come in. Or take him back out yourself every five minutes. Because I'm not here to let the dog out all night for five minutes at a time. We have a 6' fence and he can't get out. He's fine.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Krystal, I'm so glad you joined us.
And I agree. Tread lightly, I say all the time. We don't kill bugs either. In fact, I've gone to crazy measures to save a freaking bug around here because my kids make me. I haven't delved too much into animal cruelty regarding food production because Savana is uber sensitive about stuff like that and I don't want her to have to think about how awful it is. We have talked a bit about making sure animals get to live a comfortable farm life, with room to roam and proper food. We were getting our eggs from a great local farmer but I stopped because she uses corn feed in the winter and the gmo stuff scares me.
Lol Mandy! Why does he care how long the dog is out?
Krystal I am smacking myself in the head right now that all the times that dbf and i have discussed getting chickens, neither of us once mentioned the CATS. Wth? I think our cats would be scared of chickens though.
Because he is ridiculously overprotective. Fine, but puppy needs to run around like an idiot and I'd much rather he do that outside than inside!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Oh, and Krystal, no worries about the spelling. Spell it however you like. Or just call me Mandy!

At the hearing in Los Angeles on Wednesday (15Jan13), a judge also banned Myers from contacting the actress in any way, reports TMZ.com.
