In 6th grade I had a very close friend named Parminder, I think we both got along because we were quiet and kept to ourselves.

It was rare occurance for Parminder and I to see each other outside of school, but one

For the longest time, I had been wanting to adopt a pawikan or sea turtle. It took quite a while for me to find the contact number of the Pawikan Conservation Center in Morong, Bataan. And when I finally did, they said there were no pawikan scheduled to hatch yesterday. But they also told me that if it was warm and sunny, some of the turtles would hatch earlier than expected.Since it's quite far, and I didn't want to risk disappointment, I decided to watch the longest Holy Week procession in the country in Baliuag, Bulacan in the evening. But I got a surprise text yesterday morning from the Pawikan Center saying that sea turtles had just hatched the night before and were ready for adoption. Since it's difficult to time a visit when there are hatchlings, I decided to rush there no questions

ERGO Baby Carrier Works Great for Families Adopting a BabyWe have had a lot of customers buy the ERGO for the baby or toddler they were adopting. And so many of them have told us how pleased they have been with it. The reason the ERGO works so great for these families is that usually the baby is not an infant and therefore too heavy to carry in a Bjorn-type carrier.The hip belt on the ERGO allows them to carry a heavier child on front without neck, back or shoulder strain. And they can always use the back and hip carry options as well. Because many parents of an adopted baby feel that increased body contact can aid in bonding between them and their new child, they like to be able to carry them around as much as possible both in the house and out. The ERGO carrier is great for this because

Having found two wonderful dogs through rescue, and having acquired several dear human friends in the process, I’ve become very familiar with not only how hard these people work, but what they accomplish with so little. So, especially, during this time of year, I try to do what I can to pitch in. It doesn’t take much to make a difference. Here are a list of ideas to help inspire you. (Your local shelter can use many of the same items.) Can you… 1. Transport a dog? 2. Donate a dog bed or towels or other *bedding* type items? 3. Donate MONEY? 4. Donate a Kong? A Nylabone? A hercules? 5. Donate a crate? 6. Donate an x-pen or baby gates? 7. Donate a food dish or a stainless bucket for a crate? 8. Donate a leash? 9. Donate a collar? 10 .Donate some treats or a bag of food? 11 .Donate a halti or promise collar or a gentle leader? 12. Walk a dog? 13. Groom a dog? 14. Donate some grooming supplies (shampoos, combs, brushes, etc.)? 15. Go to the local shelter and see if that

I was pondering our years of adoption experiences tonight which adds up to over 25 years of adopting children. I was trying to think back to when my first group of teens arrived since thats what we started out with. I was 21 years old at the time. My God have the years gone by fast. I was actually trying to think and decide if it was easier to parent back then or now. Why I was thinking about this I have no idea but , anyway I had an Aha moment. Although I do believe the children coming into adoption these days with prenatal histories of being exposed to stronger drugs than years ago are so much more difficult to handle , I realized what has really changed the most is Bob and I. It's not really the children at all. It's him and I who have grown in our parenting skills that has changed so much. Our radar for spotting trouble brewing has become finely tuned over the years. We have learned how important it is to pick and choose our battles and how sometimes it's best to let the

Heart disease prevention is not difficult. In fact, it can be easy with just a few lifestyle changes to prevent the number one cause of death among women. It is said that over 58 million Americans suffer from some form of heart disease, so it would seem natural that heart disease prevention should be a part of our everyday vocabularies. The number one key to heart disease prevention is adopting better living habits. Simple changes like eating better, getting more exercise, and being more health conscious in general have shown that they can drastically reduce your chances of acquiring heart disease. Control Your Eating Habits For optimal heart disease prevention, it's necessary to improve your eating habits. First, avoid foods high in saturated fat and trans fatty acids. Saturated fats are naturally found in food that comes from animals: meat, eggs, dairy products, as well as some oils. Trans fatty acids are usually found in commercially baked or fried foods. By lowering the amount

At this morning's ballroom dance class, Rob Shnickly was telling me that a goat on his farm had recently died giving birth to her baby. Rob has been inviting me out to the farm forever and since I had no more classes today, I decided to follow him on out. It took us about 30 minutes to get there from the studio but what a great farm he has! He took me to the barn to see the newborn baby goat and she looked immediately at me and "baaa"ed and came right up to the fence. Rob lifted her out and we took her out to the grass and he let me feed her with a bottle! What a sweetie. I'm in love! She licked me and nuzzled me. I think she likes me too. Rob said if I can get permission to have a goat in my backyard...she's all mine. I'm so excited! I've been wanting to get a dog for a while now but I think this will be better. I'm still trying to decide on a name for her. So far, I've come up with Topples, Gertrude, Shnookie, or Ramba. So many things I must go buy! She w

Miss Prissy has told you that we adopted a cockatiel, and I'm glad that she enjoys his company. If it had just been myself, I would have probably waited quite a while before thinking about getting a new feathered friend, but I was very worried about Miss Prissy. She has never been without another cockatiel in her life, and I knew that after a few days looking for J.L., she would probably get sad and depressed. The Cool One said the same thing; he told me that she would need a new companion, the sooner, the better. A while ago, J.L. compiled a list of links on adopting a bird, which was very helpful. I did not want to buy a bird from a store, because there are too many birds who are in need of a good home, and I hoped to find a rescue bird. Petfinder.com was especially useful in compiling a list of tiels. When I checked, there were 198 cockatiels in the U.S. and Canada looking for good homes. However, none of them were in my state. The closest one was over 300 miles away. The local res

Julio Baptista has finally confirmed what everyone expected in that he is back to Madrid, partly I suspect because Reyes is apparently not staying at Real but mainly because he could not justify a €20m fee, such is the rumoured value that has been placed on his head, For whatever reason, it just did not happen for the lad; only the really picky could fault his effort but he never really threatened to hit the expectation levels of supporters - is that our fault or his? - because aside from the six goals in the games against Liverpool and Tottenham, you have to say that four in thirty three matches is really not good enough. It would have been interesting to see what a second season would have produced but unfortunately for him, the club is at a stage where we cannot afford to carry passengers, especially those that represent a huge investment. Had he joined two summers ago, would things have been different? Perhaps, for a season at Madrid undoubtedly did little good for his confidence

Inability to drink beer is one of the great stumbling blocks for many of my patients with Celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Giving up beer has prevented more than one of my relatives from embacing a gluten-free diet despite evidence they have gluten sensitivity. My physician wife with Celiac disease used to love the beer Fat Tire. After her diagnosis she once purchased a gluten-free beer from Europe called Bard. Though I thought it had a very cool logo we both agreed it tasted like !@#%. Now, we can enjoy a great tasting and gluten-free beer. Though I personally don't like beer that much, Anheuser-Busch's new gluten-free beer Red Bridge I actually like. See my blog www.The Gluten Free Food Report for more personal comments on this beer. Use of sorghum, a grass grain originating in Africa, for alcholic beverages dates back many centuries. However, beer brewed with sorghum usually contains barley malt and therefore is not safe for consumption by those with Celiac disea
