We need a liner, and that is NOT a one-liner!

 


Okay, we do need only one, again. Our in-ground pool liner. 
Our small backyard Florida home pool.



Yes, don't shake your head, it is a thing and made it extremely easy for installing a backyard pool! We first saw such a thing way back in the 1980s in NJ, when two of our neighbors got them, in rather very large in-ground pools with diving boards and everything! 

But it might go back way longer. We had our entire yard as a septic system then in Lacey Township, NJ, a requirement for our lot at the time. So we put a very large above-ground pool in, way back then, 12'X36', four feet deep I believe, could have been 3'. That was nearly forty years ago!

Moving on...

Another mass shooting, another guns discussion!

Talk is cheap and not productive with our history of gun violence... at the very least people on both sides of gun laws have to realize what is being done NOW is NOT working! 

TRY SOMETHING ELSE!!!

Innocent people are STILL DYING!!!

That is all I can say ... because I do not know the answer. Perhaps do a feasibility study where places have systems that DO WORK!!!

Moving on again...

Now that we are getting a handle on the vaccines, let's try and get a handle on the PANDEMIC continuing spread!!!

Moving on once more...

Those children at the borders need attention NOW!

But we must admit the problem had gotten worse with the LAST ADMINISTRATION.

That said, President Biden has a lot on his plate with many leftovers from the previous administration that DID NOTHING GOOD!!!

In just over two months he has done more than the other guy did while he had FOUR YEARS to do something remarkable and HE FAILED ROYALLY!


And so we must go for now...

Please be smart, as well as safe.
Have a very pleasant night.


Count those blessings, and we will too!
Next time, please be here or be square, ya hear!

Aussie, say Good day!

I am Aussie, not being from Australia, but American-made. I will comply anyway for the fun of it,... so I will say good day!

I am called Aussie, because my Mom asked a sixteen-year-old girl, who had been looking at me, in the crate at the adoption site that day what she thought I should be named. And without hesitation, the teenager had said, Aussie! She was just looking, by the way,... so Mom did not steal me from her.
We never did find out the girl's name, and Mom liked the name Aussie too. We have since found out that it is a very common name, but it is still just right for me! My parents think that I am uncommon though,...some might say even unique! I do like that.
I am an Australian Shepherd. Here is an interesting factoid, I was supposed to be a miniature Australian Shepherd, but...as you might know, I AM NOT! Although I am now three years old, so I am the baby, though tipping the scales around seventy pounds, HA! I must admit, a very big one! 
I was three months old when Mommy and Daddy adopted me. I had been taken out of a hoarder's home in the Carolinas with my litter. Below is my new PIC that had been taken on the birthday that I share with my Dad, but Dad is much, much older than me!!! I was the first to be adopted, February 16, 2018, his brother's birthday.
                            3 months................................................3 years

No tail/tale publishing, circa 2018. 
Get it? I was born without a tail, preferable for all Australian Shepherds; only one out of five are born that way!

                                           
Hello, I am Bella above, a Maltese Yorkie, a Morkie, and I might be five years old. I am the middle child, so I am what you would expect, with all those idiosyncrasies that go along with all that! Being the only girl has its rewards, as well as difficulties...We are all rescues, so no one knows for sure our ages. I was turned in from my previous family, stating that I was misbehaving with their elderly dog, they had said I was driving him crazy! I was the second to be adopted on 8/18/18, on clear the shelters' day!Oh, by the way, my record's called me Belle, and so for no known reason, Mom decided I was more of a Bella; beautiful either way!


Please don't forget me, I am Chance, pictured above, a Bichon Frise! I am six years old, so they think, and the eldest, and I like getting up early with Mom and Aussie. Bella sleeps in with Dad, till after seven most days, even later! I enjoy a good tug-of-war on the ropes that Dad had twisted for Aussie and me, and sometimes even Bella plays too! I was the last to be adopted, on January 23, 2020. 

I was wandering the neighborhood for days and then saw Aussie and Bella in their living room window so I hung out there... The Animal Welfare League checked me out and kept me for sixteen days until I was allowed to be adopted. Good evening? 

Now my name of Chance is because I was given another chance, it could be only the second one or perhaps more... The animal control lady came out to see if I had a chip with her machine, and Dad told her that he wanted to name me Chance. His reason being, that if no one claimed me, I want to give him a second chance! So that is how I got the name Chance!

Easy as Aussie, Bella, Chance, now you got it!

Speaking My Mind: Just a six-month skin check-up?

Speaking My Mind: Just a six-month skin check-up? :   I know, I know, six months?  Although in Florida its a wild card for skin cancer, both...
