More said news from my family. On Christmas Eve, we had to put Skeeter to sleep. It was sudden and very sad. I just got a call from my Mom that Guinness, our other dog, had to be put to sleep as well. He had a sudden liver problem and was going ...

QotD: My First Boyfriend/Girlfriend

2008-03-31T00:09:05Z

How old were you when you had your first "official" boyfriend or girlfriend? What was he/she like? I guess it would have to be Bryan Iverson when I was 13, the summer between 7th and 8th grade. He was older than me -- he was 16, almost 17, and I...

2007-12-24T18:09:54Z

Pike Bubbles: listen to this!

It struck me that you need to hear this song by the Cardigans. It's the b-side for the "Rise and Shine" single -- I got this in 1996 or so. It might just be my favorite song. You should listen to it. Biloobidiboom.
