If I couldn't run I would go crazy. It's my release, my joy, my time to myself. Listening to Eminem spit out a few angry songs also calms me down!I hope Randy is a good instructor
I am kidding of course! (about the chocolate). I think exercise helps bring out your feelings - does that sound weird or what?
I was on the elliptical trainer on Friday and they have a TV screen attached; I was watching CBC news and they showed footage of the soldier who was shot in Ottawa while guarding the War Memorial.
I almost started crying. I had to pull my T-shirt up over my nose and mouth like I was wiping off sweat.
Exercising is like meditating for me at times. When I used to run (years ago) I would be able to clear my mind after a good long run.

I'm sorry ((( not_nadine ))) xox
Sometimes the decisions we make for the best of others (animals and people) can break our hearts the most.
I have to live with several of those...I go out on my deck and look at the vast darkness filled with star diamonds, and I know there's something bigger going on...it's just hard to see past the pain sometimes. You're in my thoughts, dear n_n.
Its ok Its ok. She was adopted within a week, by a pre screened family.
They had to go through 3 home visits to even apply. And they were waiting for a pup like her. Everyone loved her when she was there for a short time. It was a wonderful place, not a shelter . (not that that is bad) But these folds at DVGRR are awesome.
I will have to include the video of that place again. Maggie was loved and she was interacted with other dogs and cats. She spent her nights in a room with 3 other Goldens and 4 puppies. With a TV on. No kennel.
Hells, the lady that came to pick her up, said she almost did not drive her there, just wanted to take her home for herself.
Here is the video of the place again, just because I want to watch it. This is a funding tape for the rescue.
It is a pretty long video, but these people are great and worth a watch.

(the dogs cost a lot of money to adopt... not that it matters, but someone who will pay over 900 dollars for a pup, or better yet, an adult dog, makes my heart a little bit at ease)

Right then, A moment of weakness. Thanks.
What does Geronimo say when he jumps out of a plane?Someone tell a joke..
MEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope no one thinks that's anti-Native American. I never knew why people who jump say "Geronimo" anyway.

Jesus Is Watching You
Late one night, a burglar broke into a house that he thought was empty. He tiptoed through the living room but suddenly he froze in his tracks when he heard a loud voice say; “Jesus is watching you.”
Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward again. “Jesus is watching you,” the voice boomed again.
The burglar stopped dead in his tracks. He was frightened. Frantically, he looked all around the room. In a dark corner, he spotted a bird cage and in the cage was a parrot. He asked the parrot: “Was that you who said Jesus is watching me?”
“Yes,” Said the parrot.
The burglar breathed a sigh of relief, then asked the parrot: “What is your name?”
“Clarence,” said the bird.
“That is a dumb name for a parrot,” sneered the burglar. “What idiot named you Clarence?”
The parrot said, “The same idiot who named the rottweiller Jesus.”

Hey, NN, you can have that moment of weakness. It's alright. We're all here holding you up, so you can't fall, okay? The Powers That Be brought that lovely dog into your life for a reason and I think it was to give it the love and attention that Maggie so desperately needed for the amount of time that you were able to care for her. Deep in my heart of hearts, I don't think Maggie will ever forget what you were able to do for her, ever. Animals just know. I know you miss her, and there's pain in your heart, but please, please, please focus on what you did for her in the time you shared together. If she could, she would thank you from the bottom of her heart. A new family now has the chance to share in the joy and love that you passed on to them. Maggie will have a most wonderful life, believe it! Just Believe! (((((NN)))))
There was a "James Bond" movie, supposedly a comedy sendup, except that it was entirely dreadful. 1967, Casino Royale, with David Niven as 007.
Anyway, there was a scene, as I remember, where paratroopers were supposed to come in to help save the day, the scene goes to an airplane where they're jumping out, yelling "Geronimo," and they're all Native Americans.
Come to think of it, that was the funniest part of the whole movie.
It's a classic Woody Allen flick! He plays James Bond's nephew Jimmy. Jimmy Bond.
Hello and good day to everyone! Just wanted to pop in and say hello and wish you all a great week! May everyone be happy/healthy and have good weather. My household has been sick with one virus/cold after another! UGH! Everyone has returned to work/school, at least we've made progress. I am off to tackle all of the chores I have neglected. Have a great day full of love and green lights.
Good Monday morning! I'm aiming for a positive and productive week, and 4 days at the gym. n_n - you did a good and brave thing. It's ok to be sad about it, but don't kick yourself for it - Maggie's loved immensely and has brought something special to the people she's with, you did good.
Do you ever blame inanimate objects for bad things? For me, it's my coffee cup - if I had a terrible horrible no good very bad day, I won't drink out of the same coffee cup the next day. I eyeball it like its entirely responsible for what went down and the only way to prevent another horrid day is to switch coffee cups. I even blamed the entire Sukie Stackhouse series because I got some really bad news the first time I tried to read one. I had the book in my hand when an upsetting phone call came and that was it for me.
I finally had to join the smartphone revolution. I dropped my slide bar phone in some water and when I put in a claim I was told they don't make my model or anything like it anymore. I got the dumbest cheapest most compatible phone I could. I can't operate the thing. My texts all have an extra "I" at the beginning or an unnecessary "u" at the end. I can't type on a screen and I can't turn off predicted text. This is what I knew would happen. I've had the same phone model for 6 years or so.

If that was classic, no wonder we don't find Mr. Allen's humor to be our flavor.
I remembered the movie, seeing it a a kid, being a comedy that I simply didn't laugh at. Then Grandma and I saw a rescreening of it about, oh, say 10 or 20 years ago. All the details (except "Geronimo" and a naked girl imprisoned under metal bands) had vanished.
I said it couldn't have been as bad as I remember. Let's give it a try! Grandma was agreeable. But I was wrong. It was painfully unfunny. We had it on for maybe 15 minutes (or about as long as we lasted for Deconstructing Harry) before we got to the "life's too short" mode and switched to something that didn't make us wish we were sinking in quicksand or something else that would keep our attention.
I only got 50%. There were plenty I haven't seen. Will have to remember them for the annual Moviethon next year!
I only got 45 percent. There were a lot I didn't see.
