Cold I consider it a triumph if BT manages to remember to brush his teeth and wear his retainers to bed without 100 reminders. Driving? Yeah. Shocking

What a rotten day... everything I try to fix winds up broken even worse... two laptops, a server (that's actually running now thank God) and a couple of other minor issues... Annoyed

I was reading about those Search & Rescue dogs who worked on 9/11... how they'd get depressed if they didn't find anybody all day... that's how I feel... Sadwalk

http://thoughtsfurpaws.com/dogs/911-rescue-dogs/

"some of the rescue dogs were actually growing very depressed because they couldn't find any humans alive, they felt they weren't following through with their training, they felt it was their fault… SAR dogs—especially those trained to find living people—feel increased stress and depression as time passes with no survivors found. Workers actually started to put live bodies of volunteers in more obvious places, staging mock rescues, perhaps under only one or two layers of steel beams, for the dogs to find so they could get their confidence back…"

http://www.psychologytoday.com/bl...e-dogs-911

"Morale is important... So we set up a scenario that the dog can win at. We used a New York firefighter. He hid amongst a little bit of rubble, and we sent her on a search. She finds the firefighter. He plays with her real good. She's real happy, and she's ready to go to work again." -- Mark Bogush

"The dog seeks a live person in hopes the survivor will play with him. If he's not finding a live person, there is no one to play with. So when I get home at night, I send my 12-year-old son to hide in the woods. Then Jax finds him and they play tug of war with a towel." -- Tom Fahy

Totally bummed out. BT's teacher got moved to another grade. I LOVE her. A lot. She was new to the grade level and worked her butt off and really connected with my kid.

She is being moved to LT's grade level, so I pulled a Katniss Everdeen and volunteered as tribute - got LT put in her new class.

Bittersweet day.

Sellin' stuff on ebay. I was all "OMG I HAVE TO MAKE THE STUFF LOOK GOOD!" so I draped a silky robe over the couch and using it as a backdrop. So far I just have some old nancy ann dolls that my mom and I collected up. Two of them have bids and I was all . Elizabeth goes "So one is only $14.99 and the other is only $15.50?" which rained on my parade a little bit but it was still cool laugh out loud
