I’m not an overly joyous person when it comes to TV. I never used to watch TV except for Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and I find myself currently viewing more and more shows (through DVR, of course, since time is of the essence here). I tune in regularly for House, Heros, Bones, NCIS, Lost and thank goodness Dexter is on On Demand.I think I’ve just gotten in to so many shows because it gives my

So I've been out of the loop with things for a while, and some of you expressed concern. Thank you. More things have happened since then, but pieces are starting to fall back into place for me. It's really too long and dramatic to get into more details, but let's just say my dad-in-law has been in the hospital, my grandpa had a stroke, my employer is losing clients and making layoffs, and other

I’m a total believer in karma. Whatever you do, comes back to you, whether it’s in this life or your next. Yes, I said next, because yes, I also believe in reincarnation. So after the trials and tribulations of my life–especially the past month–I’m pretty sure that I was absolutely horrid in my former lives. With the amount of karma I’m paying off this life time, I’m equating myself to that of

Ever have those days (or weeks, in my case) where you wonder why you do what you do?Ugh! If my co-worker in the next cubicle/work space area over doesn't stop playing his music loud enough to wake the gods, I'm going to hurt him. It's not that I mind it, but he's all over the place with it. One minute, it's the Dead and all the other hippy/classic rock music. The next, it's gangsta rap (shoot me

Luna is my latest rescue. She is a four-month-old feral calico with a dislocated elbow. I was out Saturday night in the pouring rain until 2AM trying to catch her. Success! However, she's in need of surgery and my rescue's funds have run dry. Please consider donating to the cause!Four-month-old Luna isn’t saying what made her decide to go up inside the truck’s engine compartment. Maybe it was to

(CHARITY EVENT)Egg Harbor Township, NJ - - Most people only know about the four seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter. For people who rescue animals, there's one more: Kitten Season. You know, the time of year unaltered cats mate and produce kittens–lots of them. Normally, kitten season starts in early spring and continues through early fall, but this year, the kittens and pregnant moms are

My 15-week old rescue developed distemper a week and a half ago. The week we were supposed to get him vaccinated he came down with an upper respiratory, so we had to hold off. Then last Friday he started vomiting bile and refused to eat. He was at the vet's on Saturday for fluids and meds to help him stop vomiting, then back in to the vet's on Monday for intensive treatment (meds, IV fluids, etc)

Grounding and Centering For ActivistsBy Starhawk(10-15 minutes)In an action, in any potentially tense of dangerous situation, we need to be able to stay calm, to feel our fear without letting it overrun us or turn into panic.

I’m a horrible blogger these days, I know. Life just sort of took me away this time, and though I’ve kept up with reading everyone else’s blogs, I have just been too drained to write in my own. I’m currently experiencing a baby depression, one of many that I’ve had, and this one is probably about the worst one I’ve had to date. I am really feeling it this week, probably because my 17 year old

For a bit of background, in case no one knows this, I am an active animal rescuer and welfare person. I always have more animals than I really should, always say yes to helping the needy ones and the past few weeks have been crazy. I've moved departments at work and am flying solo this week. I've been trying to help revamp our cat rescue's terrible site and we're having issues logging in so the

If you’ve ever considered helping out at a local or national animal shelter or rescue, now would be the perfect time. Many, if not all, are currently feeling the impact of the economy. There are more homeless pets now than ever, due to foreclosures, job loss and countless other reasons that are causing people to have to give up their beloved companions. And sure, it's nice to be able to give a

Guess what this month is?Adopt a cat month!The American Humane Association and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) have designated June - Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat month. You can invite a cat to share your home at any time of the year, but June is an especially good month to adopt a cat or kitten from a local shelter.More kittens are born in the spring and summer than

It seems that my feelings about choosing the wrong career path are surfacing stronger than ever. I didn’t really know what I wanted to be when I “grew up,” so I just kind of went with the flow, switching my major in college more times than I can remember. I know at different times I wanted to be a writer, a teacher, an anthropologist, a wildlife expert (like Jeff Corwin), and a vet technician. I

Though I am in no way a supporter of the HSUS (or other nutty groups, i.e. PETA), I really do like this ad campaign and totally wish I'd done it. It's message is too true, though in my case, it would be like 10 pets for every person, lol.

I have been so busy caring for my family & doing foster work for the rescues, that I have seriously neglected my spiritual side for months. It's sad to say, but I am currently a non-practicing Pagan. Sigh. Anyway, this was sent to me a while ago. I forgot about it, and then today, I came across it again. Whether or not you believe, it's still worth pondering. There are more of these on YouTube.

It doesn’t get any easier to hear, or to deal with, no matter how many times it is said, how long ago it was first said or how many different ways you say it. It still stings, and it still makes me cry. It’s been three years, and I fear I will never be okay with it, or be able to accept it. Hubby had a doctor’s appointment last Thursday and asked me to tag along. I’ve been trying to stay away
