The last few days have been absolutely beautiful outside. The temps have ranged from 60 to almost 75 degrees with lots of sunshine. We even headed to the beach to take our dog for a walk along the shoreline, and along the way we saw lots of motorcycles out enjoying the first warm weekend.
Of course, after we passed the first few motorcycles, Mike said that we needed to get a bike, which means he’d be part of the metric motorcycle community, which is all about cruiser customizing. A place for bikers to discuss their rides, and share pictures and videos.
The first thing Mike would add to the bike? A sidecar for our dog.
I suppose that is the kind of statement you’d expect to hear from someone who is celibate…
Before touching down for his first visit to Africa, Pope Benedict XVI took the opportunity to pontificate on the AIDS pandemic, saying that condoms are not the answer to the fight against AIDS.
I think we can all agree that condoms aren’t the solution to the AIDS pandemic, but they certainly are an effective preventative measure. Especially in a country with limited medical care and widespread occurrences of rape.
While the Pope views condom distribution as giving those with AIDS the green-light to have sex, I believe the intention is to protect those that do not have the disease from contracting the disease. Will some view the condoms as the green-light? Absolutely. But why are we comprising the protection of many based on the rash actions of a few?
Several of the comments on the article are very well stated, especially those that expand on AIDS and STDs being a public health issue and not necessarily a moral one.
I miss PJP.
I’m not a fan of sci-fi or fantasy books or movies and I don’t particularly care for vampires or mystical creatures, but I get the hype behind Twilight. What I don’t get is the hype behind Robert Pattinson. He always looks dirty, his nose is crazy crooked, and I’m assuming his performance in Twilight wasn’t Oscar-worthy.
IMDB says his trademark is messy hair, which doesn’t really bode well for his acting abilities.
Fanatic Robert Pattinson fans, I know you’re out there…please weigh in.

Meet my cousins…Madeline, Jack, and Katharine (their brother, Mitchell, his hiding from the camera as all teenagers do). Together, they are a rambunctious, messy, hysterical handful, and they have a little sister on the way this April.
With five kids, I’m not sure how their parents are going to find the time to send out Birth Announcements, but I can give them a tip…go to Doodle Bug Dezigns. Their announcements, invitations, and holiday photo cards are beyond cute and easy to order online between naps, feedings, and laundry.
Come April, I’m afraid I just might be out of my babysitting element when I’m outnumbered five to one!
Start celebrating! It’s my birthday month! Yes, month. Not just a day or week. I claim the whole month as mine! Though that may end next year when I turn the big 3-0 and banish all birthday celebrations (unless, of course, someone is planning a big birthday bash with lots of presents, cakes, and a celebrity host).
I think I’m holding up well, so far. No wrinkles or gray hairs, I still get carded when I order a drink and I’ve never been called ma’am, but I’m afraid it’s all downhill after 30. Lots of people experience memory loss, fatigue, insomnia and sexual problems as they get older and I somehow doubt I’ll be immune to those symptoms.
Dr. Sergey Kalitenko wants to help people alleviate the typical problems associated with aging through bioidentical hormone replacement, a holistic therapy treatment. Prevention is the best medicine, and I’d like to avoid those unsavory facts-of-life before they begin, which is what Dr. Kalitenko’s treatment aims to do by determine what hormones, vitamins and minerals you are lacking.
The treatments can boost your energy levels, help you lose weight and stay active, fight hot flashes and lead to a better nights sleep and sex life, making you look and feel 10 years younger. Who wouldn’t want that?!
