I am in no way an expert on this breed, though I haven’t met one I didn’t love. And now that we are dogsitting Bojack, I am already seeing what I’ve been missing! Whether he’s sharing that famous pit bull smile or not, his heart is always smiling.

GUEST POST from Don – Tattoo It
TATTOO IT I just read the most sensible thing in ages about practical tattoos. Of course you’ve heard of people who have tattooed permanent eyebrows in the correct location just above their eyes. That’s smart. Of course, never do it while drunk in Jamaica or you may end up with tattoos which turn green over time (green …

GUEST POST from Don – Out Of Touch+
OUT OF TOUCH + It is absolutely OK to be out of touch with everything but people. You don’t need to know anything about “GEN Who?”You don’t need to know the latest slang.You don’t need to know who won some game, or what TV show is “hot.”You don’t even need to know technology, how to …

GUEST POST from Don – Longevity (part II)
LONGEVITY (Part II) As I mentioned, I was introduced to this topic because of an article I mentioned in the post called “Hoarding?” This explains why THAT article was so far off base. So, genetics plays a much larger role in longevity than scientists once imagined. Nevertheless, in the USA people ARE living a few years longer …

GUEST POST from Don – Longevity (part I)
LONGEVITY (Part I) I was introduced to this topic because of an article I mentioned in the post called “Hoarding?” Because I had never studied the issue as a researcher, I imagined that genetics was the prime factor in longevity. A friend’s parents both died in their early 50s. My friend died just before age 60. It seemed …

GUEST POST from Don – Naming Your Child
NAMING YOUR CHILD First, let’s be clear. If you are old enough to father or mother a child you should be old enough to be grown up when naming said child. We’ve all known someone who got the short stick when it came to names. This isn’t funny for them. Some, when they turn 18 have it changed. “Stupid” …

GUEST POST from Don – Hoarding?
HOARDING? Ageism is alive and well among some in America. I wrote some weeks ago that the younger generations hate old people. They not only create systems which are biased against old people, they are intentional and purposeful in placing BLAME on those Baby Boomers who had no choice when and to whom they were born. Blame for …

GUEST POST from Don – Pope and Peasant
“Sa più el Papa e un contadin che el Papa solo.” A local Italian proverb, translated: “The Pope and a peasant know more than the Pope alone.” Wisdom can come from collaboration (the Pope and the peasant). It also can come from independent thinking. The advantage of collaboration is that mistaken judgments can be moderated or avoided. The …

GUEST POST from Don – Home Equity Agreement +
HOME EQUITY AGREEMENT + Risks and benefits. Sometimes we need money. Maybe it is for college tuition, other times it is for 3 dental crowns (that can add up to $8,000 these days). In any case, you may be looking for a way to NOT add anything to your credit card balance (that’s a good thing usually). …

GUEST POST from Don – Bias Isn’t Always Wrong
BIAS ISN’T ALWAYS WRONG I’ve been studying the concept of THIS isn’t THAT for over 20 years. I’m not finished yet. JSTOR DAILY writes: “Why Do People Embrace Hate? Sartre Has an Answer” “A classic essay examines the hidden dynamics behind modern prejudice.” The problem is that bias does NOT equal prejudice. We all use bias in our daily lives. I …
