My wife and I have been thinking about getting a puppy and making it part of our family since our kids are grown up and out of the house and all of the animals went with them when they left.  I had talked to my brother in-law about it and he told me to make sure it a safe breeder puppy, which I wasn’t completely clear on how to do what he was talking about, but when I asked him, he told me to go onto the Internet and to google the words puppy mills and read up on the subject. So I did and I found that you can learn so much about what you can look for, and what kind of things you should find out before you go to the store and see a cute puppy, purchase it and walk out. You can save hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars just by taking the time to do a bit of research, and of course with the Internet it can’t get much easier than that.

Our youngest of the kids had a rough time going to sleep last night, it was well after 11:00pm and I saw that she was still up, going back and forth to the kitchen, bathroom and upstairs to her sister’s room. I kept telling her to get her fanny in the bed or she would never be able to get up in time for school in the morning.

So it didn’t come to much of a surprise when this morning she comes into our room announcing that she was having a bad stomach ache from her Irritable Bowel Syndrome that she suffers so badly with at that at least once or twice a week she misses going to school. It really bites because there is nothing that anyone can do to make her stomach stop from hurting, so she ends up curled up in a ball, trying to fall back to sleep and she usually does drift back to sleep which makes it difficult for her to go to bed at a decent hour that evening so that she will be able to get up and go back to school the next day. It is a vicious cycle that affects the whole family terribly, I’m sorry to say.

The wife asked me to come over to the PC and take a long at something that she had found extremely entertaining, I was thinking that she had received another funny joke through her email, as she does have a lot of folks that email her stuff like that, and wanted to share it with me. So I went on over and found that she had brought up a web-site that has sells a great selection of costumes and while looking through the site she found a costume that she thought immediately that I would have the nerve to wear called “Hung like a Horse” check it out.

I have to admit, it is a cleaver idea and believe me I would have seriously considered wearing something like that 25 years ago, but I’m afraid the years have mellowed me out just a bit.

I did stay for a while and looked at quite a lot of the costumes that this web-site of www.costumecauldron.com and we found several outfits that we were impressed with and the wife would look awesome in, I really would enjoy seeing her in either one of these called Bootcamp Officers

This site has some of the best Halloween costumes that I have seen, and from what I can tell they look like quality made outfits for a reasonable price. And of course the wearing of costumes isn’t limited strictly to Halloween anymore so they have everything from A to Z for for any type of costume wearing occasions. They even have a lot of those furry mascot costumes that those poor folks have to wear, that I’m sure they are miserably hot and sweaty in. I even saw a great Mr. & Mrs. Snowman outfit that would be great to wear at Christmas time or in a parade even. And the outfits that they have for your pets to wear are pretty hilarious also, I must add. 

The wife mentioned something about her learning from a co-worker that there is a secret HAUNTED HOUSE backdoor on the website that gets people a great discount, I remember what she said “Upi go to the homepage about halfway down on the right where you click on the brown comma in where it reads “Our Store now has over 8,000 masquerade items for you to choose from!”

Here is their main page of the web-site, check out the sweat ladies Pirate costume!

The news about Senator Ted Kennedy’s health is very sad news indeed, this is a very rich and powerful man that comes from one of the most famous families ever known to man, virtually everywhere.

I ran across a slide show on the NBC web-site that shows other well known celebrities that also have brain tumors like the one that Senator Kennedy now is aware of having. I thought that it was interesting enough to place a link to it below for your viewing interest, if interested, please click on the link below.
