A Place To Bark- Animal Rescue

Any of you who are in to Altered Art/Mix-Media Art are probably familiar with Bernie Berlin, author of "Artist Trading Card Workshop", and owner of "A Place To Bark", a no-kill animal rescue she runs in Tennessee. Please, for any of you who can make donations, she is trying to win a $50,000.00 dollar grant from the "American Giving Challenge" so she can build a shelter for her animals. Right now she holds the third place out of the top four, if she gets knocked into fourth she'll still be okay, but if she gets knocked into fifth, she won't get the grant. Words cannot describe how amazing her work has been. I wish I had read about this sooner, the contest ends tomorrow. There is very little time left!
Here's a link to her blog:

This is my pet T-Rex:

Cat Food

So, we keep a bowl full of food on the back porch for stray cats (squirrels, birds, and an assortment of reptiles and amphibians also reap the benefits) and yesterday night I went out to re-fill it. I took one look on the bowl and started to have a fit. At first I thought a cat had made a messy-messy in it, and I started to get really mad:



Apparently slugs are omnivorous.

Why Tea Should be Decaf.

I think tea should not be caffeinated. I'm about to go to bed, and I thought I'd make myself a nice hot cup of tea. But all of my favourite flavours I have on hand are caffeinated. : /

Why would someone need caffeinated tea? Coffee is caffeinated and you can have that in the morning. You can also purchase decaf coffee, which I can understand if you are going to have a biscotti late in the evening. Then you can drink water, iced tea, and coke during the rest of the day. But tea is for the afternoon (when you don't need caffeine) or for the evening (when you also don't need caffeine).

The letter "U" is ruined!

It has now reached the point where I can no longer stand the mere site of a stand-alone "U". Whenever I see it, I think of all the people who use it in the place of 'you', and I want to scream. I can understand minimal abbreviation, such as TX, FL, NC etc. for the states, I can even undertake (on very rare occasions) to use "lol" when it is fitting, as an expression. But when people begin using '2' in the place of 'to' or 'too', 'R' in the place of 'are', 'Y' in the place of 'Why', and (most specifically) 'U' in the place of 'You' , that is just plain unbearable to me. It is denigrating to the English language and derogatory to the gifts of speech and communication. : (
