A little while ago, I wondered if my grandma could benefit from one of those Amazon Echo things. I thought maybe it could call people since she says she can’t see the numbers on the phone and doesn’t know how to do it another way, check the weather, read the news, play music, etc. But …

Music Does Soothe The Anxious Canine!
Tansy has taught us that music can be exciting and soothing, although lately, she has been less excited by her old favourites. Is that a thing of the past? But, if she has to be left alone, Easy 101 still keeps her very calm. Now, a guy has developed music for stressed dogs, and you …
An Update On The Other Nephews
So, I posted a pretty big description of the one mephew in the holiday wrap-up. I went to see the two other ones about a month ago, and have been wanting to write things down ever since. Soon I’m going to have to come up with nicknames for these little grabbers so everyone can tell …
If It’s Gotta Be Eaten, It’s Gotta Be Pied!
I just did laundry today and used Tide pods to do it. As I dropped the slippery pods into the laundry, all I could think was ‘Why on earth would people try to eat them?’ I’m not talking about little kids finding one and going “ooo!” I’m not even talking about kids being fed laundry …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6ro9NLS3PE Just in case you don’t get the reference. I know this happened the week before last. I wanted to write about it last weekend but I ran out of time.

El Passed Outo
Wow. That’s when you know someone’s on drugs. Douglas Francisco drove into a drive-through lane at a bank, passed out in said lane, and when awakened, tried to order a burrito. Then, he drove away and passed out again somewhere in the bank parking lot. I’m glad he didn’t actually try to drive anywhere else, …
I know you Heavy Black Heart Emoji, But If You Use Too Many, I Loudly Crying Face And Your Post Becomes A Smiling Pile Of Poo!
Oh my god this is amazing, and I wish I’d written it. But since I didn’t, I’ll just link to it and give it a +1000. Emojis are cute and they are everywhere. Some of them are quite amusing and I have learned about a few new ones over the years. I don’t mind a …
Talk About Your Hyped Up Gift
Wow. This guy has a heck of a lot of willpower. 47 years ago, Adrian Pearce was dumped by his girlfriend, but right before she dumped him, she gave him a Christmas present, and he has never opened it. He used to put it under the Christmas tree until his wife finally insisted it be …
Have A Giant Holiday Wrap-Up
Holy crap, it’s 2018. I feel like these holidays snuck up on us, then jumped on us, and now I’m still in disbelief that they’re over. In a small sense, they’re not quite over because I haven’t seen the nephews on my side of the family and we might see them this weekend, but everything …
