Hello and welcome back to the wonderful world of the Dogpound. Not counting Washington D.C. things have been pretty quiet around here. Speaking of DC, it seems these days that they are spending more time on investigations, inquires, and hearings than working on any real legislation. In the past I would have said that was a good thing since it seems the less our government does the better off we really are…however, with all of the serious issues we face with health care, tax reform, security, and the economy…Congress needs to quit acting like Democrats and Republicans [or like little…

Hello and welcome back to the wonderful world of the Dogpound. Hope everyone had a very nice Mother’s Day…as for me,, things were a bit rough around the edges. For one thing I sprained my left wrist…how, you ask?? [ I was really kind of hoping you would not ask that question..lol. ] I sprained my wrist flushing the toilet…no lie! No idea how it happened…something I do daily without thinking twice about it, but somehow I over-extended my wrist…and ouch!! Now, that is the same hand where I have the lingering “jar-thumb”…so not sure if they are related events…but…
Hello and welcome back to the wonderful world of the Dogpound. Another holiday is rapidly approaching along with Father’s Day, Grandparents Day, and a host of others that are just too many to mention. Again, nothing wrong with showing our appreciation on a certain day but at the same time it should be a lesson to all of us that we need to show our appreciation every day, and it would not hurt on an occasion to send a nice card, or make time for a phone call, or even a small gift..flowers…candy….a little stuffed animal. It is not the…
Hello and welcome back to the wonderful world of the Dogpound. Not much is happening of late….things are pretty much in a boring routine…which in many cases that would not be a bad thing but when you are trying to build and sell a house which is struggling ..that is not such a good thing. Got to find a way to get on the right side of this circle…hopefully soon. Speaking of getting on the right side of things, there is a lot of talk about the first 100 days of the presidency. I am not sure who came up…
Hello and welcome back to the healthy world of the Dogpound. I hope you are all in good health…I think I am as well since I just came back from my annual “poke and prod” session with my doctor. That is what I call our annual “wellness” check provided free by my insurance company. Not sure how “well” this visit is since I spent more time in the reception room than I did in the doctor’s office. I like my doctor but he was like…you have five minutes…start the clock “Now!” The nurse took my blood pressure and updated all…
Hello and welcome back to the wonderful world of the Dogpound. I hope you had a nice Easter…as usual I am writing this ahead of schedule [to keep the Master semi-happy], so my Easter is yet to come. We do not get Good Friday off at work, so I took a vacation day…it was going to be a slow day anyway and I have things to get done. First thing on today’s agenda…sleep in. Now, when I was younger, way younger, I did not sleep in on a vacation day…why you ask???…. because there were a ton of things that…
Walter Wilson Hello and welcome to the wonderful world of the Dogpound. This is going to be a very busy time of the year…with Easter and Tax Day all so close together. This is where one event gives life and the other event takes it away. Anyway, I have been noticing a lot of advertising of late, prompting the new female plus size. You know, where they are showing more women that are less than Victoria model types. More power to them, as long as they make sure they focus on being healthy and not just push accepting yourself no…
Hello and welcome back to the wonderful world of the Dogpound. I was in the grocery store the other day and I noticed that the freezer aisle was dark. There were no lights in the freezers..which normally means that things are not getting cold..except for one freezer that had a fluorescent light blinking on and off, like the one you see in a horror movie. However, as I walked down the aisle, each freezer section sprang to life….the lights came on one at a time …like magic… then I noticed the motion detector. We have the same thing in our…
Hello and welcome back to the wonderful world of the Dogpound. This is a non-football issue since I am writing this weeks after the Big Game. OK then… the other day I went down into the basement to replace the air filter in my furnace. When I got to the bottom step I noticed that there was a mouse sitting in the middle of the basement floor. I suspected he had not noticed me, however; as I walked in his direction he made no attempt to move. He was sitting upright…like a squirrel holding a peanut in his paws. He…
Hello and welcome back to the wonderful world of the Dogpound. First off I need to wish everyone a happy Valentine’s Day. Yeah…yeah…I know …but it was my Master’s fault. He recently printed a past issue instead of a current article….that…for the record…was submitted on time. Well, part of that statement is true…the Master did print a past issue…but to be honest…Valentine’s Day just blew by me. However, I did send out some valentine cards to close friends and family, and I handed out heart-shaped boxes of candy at the office. I buy those little one-dollar boxes of chocolate, put…
