I've determined that my dogs and I are too lazy. All three of us lay around the house way too much.Pearlz is almost always passed out on the couch wrapped up in a blanket, and Oreo can always be seen laying either on a pillow on the couch or on the floor behind the curtain of my sliding glass doors (he loves to look out the doors so he doesn't ever miss anything going on outside), and I'm almost

By Star TribuneMost everyone plays mindlessly with their hair from time to time. But for some people it becomes such an uncontrollable compulsion that they end up with bald patches or eyebrows plucked bare.If it's any comfort, animals too suffer from “grooming compulsions.”Though the behavior is documented in the Bible and ancient medical texts, treatment for hair-pulling has not been studied

Earlier today I got a very emotional email from someone I don't really know. He was talking about how he had a mental health breakdown. I won't go into what he said past that for his privacy, but I do want to post my reply to him. Tell me what you think of what I said to him. I really struggled with what to say or not say. I'd like feedback on if I said what I should have said....................

BPD for dummies"Borderline Personality Disorder For Dummies" comes out in four weeks (August 3). I'm a fan of the Dummies books because I love books that simplify difficult topics into easy-to-understand explanations. I'm very interested in seeing how they boil BPD down into something that can be explained easily.You can pre-order the book now on Amazon here. Here is the product description that

I just got back from a 2 1/2 day trip to my mom's house. It was fun getting to know my brother's new puppy Rowdy, but dear Lord, he's a crazy little dog. I thought Oreo was an insane puppy, but Rowdy is crazier. He is the most hyper puppy I've ever been around, but he's also one of the most loving. He runs full-blast all over the living room and then will hop in your lap and kiss you all over.He

This one comes from Ten on Tuesday.Here are my 10 guilty pleasures on TV:1) "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" on the ABC Family Channel - It's about 15- and 16-year-olds, so to a 27-year-old, the show is definitely a guilty pleasure. I can't get enough of the cheesy teen drama.2) "Greek" on the

I had my second round of dental work on Thursday. She looked at the right side of my mouth which she worked on last time, and she got really worried. Apparently it hasn't healed up much at all. After a few weeks, she had expected it to be almost all healed, but it isn't. She had to do some extra work on that side on Thursday, which she shouldn't have had to do.There were three teeth on the right
