In Viewpoints 1371695845.997 Cindy, Are you familiar with the Capital One credit card viking ads? They have been running one lately that reminds me of you every time I see it. The Vikings are running a motel and one of the guests gets handed a rooster for his wake up call. Of course, that reminds me of you and the times Henry started crowing at inappropriate hours. BTW, how is Henry doing? Are the gnats/midges/no see ums/whatever you call them locally still annoying him?

Do they get picked on by other guinea pigs? Has your guinea pig ever wanted to go with you to a Renaissance Faire but had nothing to wear? Fear not! A solution is here! This hand-made scale-mail and tiny steel helmet will keep you guinea pig protected and secure in all situations. The scale-mail is made from polished steel scales and steel rings. It was painstakingly "woven" by me over several weeks in an effort to better prepare my guinea pig Lucky for the dangers of the modern world. The helmet was purcha...

There is even enough resemblance between them they could be brothers.

Sometimes I'm too lazy to go back and edit after I hit submit. I would think that most people know the difference between there/their/they're and you are and you're - but they don't. I do think it's funny when somebody points out a misspelling meant to insult the poster while their post contains misspellings. LOL. I try to go back and edit, if I can, sometimes it goes away before I get a chance, dang it. I can understand why we can't edit an original post once there has been a reply but ...

Before you speak up I'd like you to consider a few things. Let me start with your mother. As I've said before her checking out during these meetings/consultations is not unusual. The fear that she is facing, not speaking the language and your father all play a part in her shutting down. Be glad that she will voice her wants/thoughts to you and your sister privately. You can use that information to help guide the various doctors. Your knowledge of med-speak may infuriate your father but i...

Keeping your invoice with the instructions and product registration is the best way to go, at least until the warranty period has ended and not just for electronics. Continue Reading
