Why is it when some people have an issue, rather than discuss it like a rational human being they decide to lash out? *sigh*

Or even worse, they assume something completely moronic and then lash out like they know everything? And why is it some people run the minute there is any conflict? How can you get to be that old and not have learned SOME communication skills??

But never mind this for now, I really don’t care. Instead I will try to live by this message from Joel Osteen (posted on Facebook, thanks to reader Greg V.):

The Life of Pye: Puss in boots, one year later.

Kernut the Blond Posted on by

It’s been a year since Pye appeared on my doorstep. A year of learning about relationships, for both of us. Yes, I’m referring to my cat as if she’s a person. Please see the tag line under the title of this blog for the explanation.

We’re going to skip what I’ve learned about relationships this past year or so; I’ll save that for another time. Let’s move on to Pye for now, shall we?

She wants to cuddle for about five minutes, but then she wants to play.

This is another post about my cat. If you don’t have pets, or never had pets, you probably won’t get this. In fact, you may decide to never get a pet, ever. But they’re totally worth it. I went to visit my friends Ben and Jo in Rockport, Texas over … But, wait! There’s more…

Kernut the Blond Posted on by

Like a song you can’t stop singing, this famous one-liner from Frankenstein is stuck in my head: “It’s ALIVE!!” Because It’s Alive. All. The. Time. And because I’m losing sleep. [I suppose I should provide an update to Pyewacket’s peeing problem for those who may have missed it. A trip … But, wait! There’s more…
