I’m reading a cool shipwreck research book called Sunken Treasure: How to Find it, by Robert Marx for PAX 3 . Suddenly I have the urge to throw my entire life away rush off to the Keys, pour my savings into a junky boat, and dive for pieces of eight. Is finding a lode of undersea treasure more or less likely than hitting the New York Times? I’m thinking more!!! And ahoy, me hearties, treasure hunting involves pirate lingo. And sexy pirates. Shiver me timbers (and me veins)! Prepare to be boarded!!!

Blow me down. My eleven-year-old just puked in the kitchen sink. (The scurvy rapscallion.) So apparently I am needed here. ARRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

Postitve thoughts for the return of Coco. Your snow has finally made it to my door step. Hope it doesn't amount to too much but looks like a nasty night for us. Stay warm and just think how much furth... - friendfromcanada on Unaccustomed Activity (and Second Tango Winner)
Was she microchipped? That will help if someone takes her to a vet. In our area, when someone brings in an animal the first time they are automatically scanned. I check the site hourly, hoping for a... - lattelady on Unaccustomed Activity (and Second Tango Winner)

I hope this does not sound dumb, but I keep thinking to tell you not to omit looking close to home. Could she get into any part of the barn unnoticed? We found a beautiful, huge, golden retriever.... - CATRAY44 on A Crushing Event
I had missed your Barn post. I am so sorry to hear about Coco. Dogs are smarter than humans, and she'll know to burrow into a small area, with the snow to keep her warmer than if it was not there. ... - GA_in_GA on Unaccustomed Activity (and Second Tango Winner)
