Back in July, I took a trip to LA to see Tansy’s puppy raisers. That needs a post of its very own. But one thing I did while I was there was go to a meditation class. I have learned that I have to reevaluate my previous assessment of meditation. I think part of it …

People You May Noooooo!
I have always found Facebook’s “people you may know” feature a little creepy. Sure, it has pointed out people that make perfect logical sense why it might think I would know them, but some of its hits are accurate, but seemingly out of the blue. For example, it asked me if I knew a random …
“Is Your Dog Friendly?” “Are You Friendly?”
I have often been asked if someone could pet my dog. I’ve never been asked if my dog could play with theirs, but I can imagine it happening. Even if I had, I would have never dreamed that if I said no, the response would consist of a volley of rocks fired at my dog. …

That’s So Inspiring!
Somebody posted this to, erm, Facebook, and I decided it needed a place up here. This comedian had the brilliant idea of walking up to average joes while they did average things and telling them they’re inspiring, in order to demonstrate why that annoys us so much. It reminds me of this Corner Gas episode, …
Little Boxes On My Facebook
I’ll freely admit I’m a chicken. I’ve wanted to post this song on my Facebook, but I’m afraid I’ll single-handedly insult everyone who calls themselves my friend. I shouldn’t be…but I am. So here, let me post this from the safety of the blog, even though probably a bunch of Facebook types read here, so …
Refrain, Immediate Poster!
This piece about grieving and social media was going around Facebook, so I read it, since I’m still learning a lot of Facebook do’s and don’ts. But what I found here felt like shockingly common sense. All it said was unless you’re the immediate family of a recently-deceased person, don’t post on social media about …
Red Cross: I’m Seeing Red, and Getting Cross
I had something happen to me last week that I thought I should blog in case it happens to someone else. I guess I’d call it a reverse scam warning. Back when the whole Fort McMurray fires disaster happened, I texted “fires” to the red cross number advertised so I could donate. I didn’t really …

Thank you, Bingemans Waterpark
I wanted to write a post to say thanks to a local business. I do a lot of screeching and chewing, so it’s nice to be able to say something positive. That business is Bingemans. The folks at my awesome job had an employee and family picnic there. My first reaction was “Woooohooo! I’ve never …
Aww What An Adorable Wheelchair!
I saw this video, laughed, and then thought it made a great point. Now, doesn’t that look ridiculous? And I’m pretty sure I’ve seen all those things happen, if not directly to me, then to someone else I know who has a service dog. It adds another dimension to the no petting the dog rule. …
The Tanser Bear Birthday Bash!
It’s almost Tansy’s birthday. The beast turns 5 on Tuesday. Can you believe it? I can’t, and I know it to be a fact. Since I have missed all the other anniversaries this year, it’s time to have a giant Shmans chatter fest. Goddamnit, her life needs to be documented too, even if it has …
