The Post With No Title

I've learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances. - Martha Washington

Note to anyone who doesn't have a dog: A Halti (or Gentle Leader) is NOT a muzzle. (Edited to add: This in NOT my dog, but is a picture I swiped from a pet supply store to illustrate what the Halti looks like):



It is a system to help keep your dog from pulling on the leash. If I have one more person ask my why my dog is muzzled, I may scream. Just saying.

=====================

Dru, I don't think "Kitchen Matches" will be released in print because it's so short. Sorry :-(

Melissa, I'll take pix of the front of me soon -- when I took the picture I posted yesterday I had NO MAKEUP on. It's frightening, and I didn't want to be responsible for the trauma.

======================

Does anyone from the East have an answer to why folks here don't use their front doors? I was gabbing with my DH and he doesn't have a good reason, despite having been raised here. It's the strangest thing. Many people don't have walkways to their front door, or clear the snow. Some folks even put huge decorations on their front step -- like those decorative wooden wheelbarrows with flowers -- so that you couldn't use your door if you tried.

I have NEVER seen this anywhere else. Thoughts?

========================

I think I'm going to write a Free Read for the Wild Rose Press, just for fun. Have you seen those?

Speaking of short stories -- you can win all kinds of free advertising in the Long and the Short of It's short story contest. Check it out!

Your Response is: Stay Calm



You don't have much of a fight or flight response.

In fact, you rather do neither. You don't like getting worked up.

You are able to approach most threats calmly and rationally.

You don't let your emotions get the best of you!
