When Raising a Child Try Being a Parent Not a Friend or No Means No

There's been a discussion going around between some family members and friends on Facebook and in emails about disciplining your kids. Anyone that knows me knows that I have a problem with kids that are undisciplined. I'm not talking about a kid that gets a bit rambunctious once in a while or on occasion doesn't listen but I'm talking about the ones that NEVER listen. The ones that you can tell them not to do something over and over and they just look at you as if you spoke a foreign language. I'm sure you all know one like that.

I'm Tired of Hidden Fees and Dish Network

This site was started for me to blow off steam and vent when I was upset with big business. In the last year or so I've resorted to ranting and raving around the house and that does not make for a Happy Don so I think I'll go back to Plan A and bore you with the things that make me mad.

Why I Will NOT Take My Pet to a Banfield Pet Hospital Again

We got a new puppy last week and were looking for a vet to take him to. We loved the vet we use to go to when we lived in another city 20 miles north of us but she closed her practice. There was another vet in that town that we liked but thought we'd find one closer to our home now. We have 2 older dogs that we took to a new vet in February and they were a lot more expensive than our old one but we choked a bit and gave them the money, I mean, the dogs do need their annual shots and heartworm meds. Plus they were about 10 minutes away.
