I thought this was an interesting tool to figure out how much the Obama tax plan would help (or hurt) our family. I’m going to play with it to see if I can get it to show me a scenario that ISN’T better than the McCain plan.
Allow me to introduce: Scooter! He’s a spaniel/terrier mix–that’s the shelter’s guess, anyway. We named him after one of our favorite New York Yankees, Phil Rizzuto. He looks like a mini-Rottweiler, and has a great personality. I’ve been using the tips and techniques I’ve seen on The Dog Whisperer, and he’s been responding beautifully.

I think my buddy Kristen must be psychic. Last week, I blogged about my visit to the local animal shelter, where my daughter and I volunteered for the day. There was a dog there named Happy that totally captured our hearts, but he was already spoken for. I just got word tonight that his adoptiveRead more about C’mon Get Happy[…]

Amy & Happy Today, my middle daughter and I did some volunteer work for a local animal rescue group. They received a transport of about 15 dogs up from Mississippi. The dogs–about half of them puppies–were scheduled to be euthanized, so the group had them brought up here to be fostered/adopted. When they arrive, theRead more about A Happy Dog[…]
Poor Joe Biden. On Thursday, he had the tremendous pressure of performing well in the VP debate–a task which he proved to be MORE than ready for. I thought he did a fantastic job, and did a great deal bolstering his ticket. Alas, the very next day, he had to attend a ceremony to bidRead more about Biden’s rough week[…]
I got an email today from a friend and fellow member of UNICO, an Italian American service organization that raises money for charity, awards scholarships to deserving students, performs community service, and promotes a positive image of Italian-American culture and values. He recently came across this t-shirt, produced by the Lucky Brand: He found theRead more about Speaking Up for Italian-Americans[…]
**NOTE: There are now 3 updates added to the end of this post. The latest update occurred on January 26, 2009** I’m pissed off. Last September, my youngest daughter begged me to let her join up on Miley Cyrus’ website, “Miley World.” Membership allowed you access to games and newsletters and fan info about Miley,Read more about MileyWorld.com: Miley Cyrus’ website scam[…]
