I had never heard of the Holderness Family, but this will be my second video of theirs I’m posting today, and they have many many many many more. These people are hilarious. But this video needs to be the anthem for 2020. It is perfect. Even before the MURDER HORNETS! and the Coronavirus, Steve and …

Dealing With Masks If You Can’t Hear
I saw this article about masks causing communication problems for people with hearing loss, and I thought I would pass it on. I expected lip-reading would be a problem, but I hadn’t considered facial expressions, which was a total duh moment. I think this article does a good job of explaining the problem and giving …
A Song About The Woes Of Zoom
A friend sent me this the other day and I laughed, laughed and laughed. Thankfully, I work with people who know how to work their Zoom since we often have to meet with people in other offices, so most of these things don’t happen to us, but when I was less familiar with Zoom, there …
If You Still Wonder Why There Is Rage, Here’s A Clue
I have no words of my own about what keeps happening between police and people who are black. George Floyd is just the last in a long string. Listen to the song up there. Do you want to know something terrifying? I have heard multiple versions of this song, and in each one, they list …

Sleep Talkin’ Me
Back a few months ago, Steve said he hoped I wouldn’t be like Jenna Evans and swallow anything in my sleep because I’ve become quite elaborate in the things I say and do, mostly say, once I’ve headed off to the land of Nod. I’ve been meaning to write down the totally weird and wacky …
No Thank You, Patron. That’s Snot Very Kind!
I read this story about a gas station attendant’s experience with customers these days. A lot of people suck, especially right now. But what really stood out to me was when she said people are spitting on the pumps and snotting on the pay pads! Even in normal times, who does that? Who?! I cannot …

Tansy’s Retirement Is Looming
The ID card the Ontario Attorney General made for us has come apart. It looks like a mess now. Nobody would believe that was a real ID card. I never managed to get it re-laminated in time. Now I’m not sure if someone could. Also, her harness got two frayed spots on it. We got …
Death Stair
The other day, I came across this old post about not calling guide dogs down a flight of stairs, which is still good advice. But I want to add something to that advice. Don’t ask to pet a guide dog at the top of a flight of stairs either. Seriously. Don’t. Would you ask to …
You Know That Ain’t Them Dogs’ Real Voice
Ok, people. We have established that guide dogs can’t read maps, traffic lights, street signs or the news. Now, let’s clear something else up while we’re at it. Dogs aren’t writing anything either. There’s a Facebook page called Zoe the Seeing Eye dog. In it, Zoe’s handler writes as if she is the dog, like …

It’s a Shmandeluge!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9cPo2Zysi0 I figured I’d just sprinkle her newest musical selections through the post. It has been so long since I’ve written a big random post about Tansy. I mean I wrote about her lump removal, but there is so much more to say. It has been a year since I’ve done a Shmans deluge. Of …
