Profile Information
- About Me
- I was not raised with religion. All my life I seem to searching to find where I fit in. I always felt I was agnostic. Lately I have come to realize, I am more of an atheist. I found out about this site from my daughter who is wise beyond her years. I am looking to find more people with my point of view.
I have been living in Traverse City, Michigan for the last 15 years. I have been happily married for 24 years with 2 grown children. I also have 3 dogs that I enjoy taking on long walks. I am vegetarian. I enjoy cooking, hiking, yoga and snowshoeing. Where I live, you have to get out in the winter and do something or you will go crazy. We get 80 to 120" of snow during the winter season.

Atheism is more than just the knowledge that gods do not exist, and that religion is either a mistake or a fraud. Atheism is an attitude, a frame of mind that looks at the world objectively, fearlessly, always trying to understand all things as a part of nature part of nature. Carl Sagan
Minds are like parachutes, they both work best when open. Thomas R.Dewar

Some Advice Please
Posted on March 10, 2010 at 9:49am 9 Comments 0 Likes
There was a knock at my door. It was 2 of my neighbors who I never met. They were handing out invitations to a gathering on March 17th from 11:00 to 1:00. When they left I opened the invitation and it read; "You are Invited! To an informal luncheon to celebrate all God's blessings in our neighborhood! On the bottom of the invitation was Matthew 14: vs 14-21.
My first reaction to the invitation before reading it was maybe I should be polite…
Continue Changing Winter Break
Posted on September 18, 2009 at 6:51pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
A couple of schools in my area want to change "Winter Break" to Christmas Break". Some parents feel that the schools are taking religion out of everything. There are some kids who do not celebrate Christmas or any other holiday. To change the name to fit the holiday would only make those kids who are the minority to stand out more. As anyone who went to school knows, kids can be very cruel. Religon should not be a part of school. What do you think?

I stumbled upon this online. I found this amusing. Where else are Christian's going to look for Jesus?

Why Can't Dog Owners Be More Responsible?
Posted on April 29, 2009 at 11:09am 3 Comments 0 Likes
Why can't dog owners be more responsible? This is the 3rd time in a week I have come in contact with loose dogs. It is a frightening experience. I have 3 dogs and walk them 2 at a time. I love to walk my dogs and they are always on a leash. People just put their dogs out in their unfenced yard unattended. I am tired of being fearful to walk my dogs. I just purchased an air horn. I had to use it today because 2 labs started to approach me from their yard. I guess the owner heard the air horn and… Continue

Well, it would be unlikely to be hip dysplasia if the main clinical sign is weakness in the hind end. HD tends to be painful, and the symptoms are a bit different. However, xrays would rule that in or out. Yes, definitive diagnosis is based on histopathology of the spinal cord, a post-mortem thing. Sorry. The only good thing I can say is there usually is no pain with degen myelopathy. You may want to look into some of the devices used to help support the hind end during walking- there are some neat slings and so forth, or a simple bathtowel slung under the belly and held in one hand works ok in a pinch.
Good luck.
It's refreshing to see there is some other folks out there who share my beliefs.
And that's the way the cookie crumbles... my family and pets were and are all safe, so that's what counts most... I look forward to some great conversations... :-)
