We have been calling the local pound every day. Been combing the neighborhood several times a day, knocking on doors asking everyone we see on the streets, not a word from anyone. We even did some Lost Dog flyer printing efforts, had over 50 Color Copies of this flyers printed using SuperFinePrinting and we spent a whole afternoon tacking them up all over and showing to whom ever we came into contact with. Still no word.

With each passing day, the odds are greater that Bilbo won’t be returning home, but there is always a chance. We have been hearing some very heart warming stories as of late about some pets traveling major distances, some taking years to get back home. We will keep hoping for our miracle story to develop and keep trudging along.

Right now they are getting busy looking for either titanium rings or tungsten rings for the up and coming ceremony. They say that these types of rings are 100% hypoallergenic, which is important to the both of them since they both have allergies and issues with any other type of materials that most traditional rings are made of. Apparently these types of rings have only come about in the last decade or so. Up until then these materials were normally used in aerospace engineering, the medical field, as well as in aircraft manufacturing, but are now becoming very useful and popular in today’s jewelry stores. Pretty interesting and incredible stuff actually, I’m glad I took a few minutes and looked around online a bit earlier today and found a lot of good information on titanium and tungsten rings.

Check out this pics that I found online of Ms. Melanie Collins who graduated from Penn State University in the year 2008.

She looks damned good in black leather, wouldn’t you agree?

The first post that Yitz Grossman had on his page last night was about a women Irena Sendler who died in 2008 at the age of 98 and who did so much for the Jews in WWII and who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected although President Obama won the year before becoming President for his work as a community organizer for ACORN and Al Gore also won for a slide show on Global Warming. Both great causes, but nothing in comparison to what this woman had gone through and done for so many people during the time of the awful Nazis regime back then.

I have bookmarked this rabbi’s site and plan on going back and visiting from time to time and I would urge others to take a look-see around this wonderful site as well.

Last night before hitting the sack, I decided to check my email one more time and found an email from her telling me that at the last minute found a way to get up here and was busy with all of the last minute flights and the last minute accommodation issues that go along with a trip such as this one all the way from Australia.

It seems that a friend of hers that also was traveling to the reunion found out that she couldn’t come and he decided to foot the bill for her flight, both ways. So this morning I found in my email her flight itinerary and I’m so excited to know that she managed to find some cheap flights that won’t break her old class mates wallet and we will be able to see her and spend some time with her after all.

May he rest in peace.

My best bud’s kids have been wearing these school uniforms for three years now, which is just about enough time to get a good picture of how their policy has been working. And since they have continued to wear these school uniforms for three years it doesn’t look like any changing of this new policy will be in order any time soon.

I have found an interesting website at Lydia.articlealley.com/the-pros-and-cons-of-school-uniforms-2189616.html that has been a interesting read. If you have a need or want to learn more about the issue of school uniforms it would be a great place to stop by.

I have made it a point to have our name and address on the mailbox at the end of the road plainly written as well as our house numbers displayed on the house. At night time we have a light sensor that lights up when triggered so that anyone can read it easily. It hasn’t been a big hassle or expense and it only makes sense to take these extra steps in order that it might possibly save a life and/or the house.

My folks are getting a bit freaked out themselves with their medicare issues and have turned to the Internet to find out more about the medicare part d that has come under fire lately. I just wish that more seniors would and could use the Internet for things such as this, but unfortunately a lot of them are still intimidated by the whole World Wide Web. My folks actually found a senior group that offered classes to other seniors to learn how to use and get around online which I really think was a great idea and I wish that there more options out there available.

I have to say that this is another case where I think these people are NUTS!  I’m glad that the baby was placed in protective custody and I hope the parents never get it back!  And I hope that the parents are locked up for a very long time.  This is a case when I think that the courts out to have the right to force sterilization on people, because in my own opinion people like this should never be allowed to have children again!
