Oskar, the blind kitten and his first toys. He has a brother, Klaus, who has sight, so if you follow the video thread, you’ll see them both. Love, compassion, and even sight. Just a few more things to be thankful for!
I am thankful for: my husband, my best friend, my everything our mutual childfree belief our two cats and one turtle who bring us many giggles and lots of love that I still have two grandparents living; two finer people might not walk this Earth technology that is more often my friend than foe reasonable […]
Dear Alamo @Drafthouse, Thank you. Thank you for creating a place where adults can routinely enjoy a movie among the company of other well-behaved adults. Thank you for the No Talking/Texting” rules and the No Little Kids policy. Coupled with the ever-changing menu, gLous drink list, and fabulous service, it’s an adult oasis in an […]

Insurance didn’t pay their part due to “a pre-existing condition….missing tooth”. I know this is a big “shock” to you all, but I’m seething. I know “receptionist” (in quotes and […]
