Having a lonely night.

This was our Khan....he was a rescue - wild hormone driven boy and full blown heartworms when we took him in. Was a rough year for him between the heartworm treatments, getting neutered so that he could become a more social creature, etc. He went from 65 lbs to 105 lbs and turned into one of the sweetest dogs I've ever known. We lost him this past January after having been blessed with 11 great years with him.

I am downing a bunch of shrimp sauted inn butter pino, garlic, and parsley.

Lavergne comments on Jul 15, 2018:

Looks really good.....we love our Shrimp Scampi and everyone I serve it too gets the recipe from me so they can start making it at home too. We're landlocked now (TN) and I have to say - I reallllllly miss the fresh off the boat shrimp (and fish), the blue crabs, the crawfish... sigh.

I left my abuser over two months ago but I am still struggling and very unhappy.

Lavergne comments on Jul 25, 2018:

Don't go back.....find a no-kill animal shelter and volunteer -(hopefully one of the other volunteers can help you out with transportation) - and you will find a good deal of inner peace knowing you are helping abandoned and abused animals. Networking is a slow process but if you take the first step, you WILL meet new people and make new friends. Hang in there....

I do healthcare research.

Lavergne comments on Aug 29, 2018:

I read an article many years ago written by a Doctor who maintained that the human body doesn't really process milk properly after the age of 6 or so - that it is totally unnecessary to consume and that there are a lot of other ways to get your daily calcium requirements. Add to that the fact that breakfast cereals (tasty as they may be) are one of the worst things you can consume and you don't have to think too hard to figure out why such a high percentage of our population is unhealthy.

One interesting thing I have noticed out of all my years in a traveling sales position.

Lavergne comments on Aug 30, 2018:

I suspect you make people feel comfortable answering questions about themselves - and having done that - kinda wait to see if you offer up some personal info about yourself. Maybe they just don't want to come off looking like they're nosey, you know? Waiting to see what you're comfortable sharing about yourself....?????

Awww.....that is just too damn sweet. Congrats to the both of you and it just goes to prove that it can (and usually will) happen when you least expect it!

What was the worst gift you've ever received?

Lavergne comments on Sep 1, 2018:

Just something to share....every year at Christmas I would try to get all the office employees a little something - it finally got to the point where it was ridiculous. These guys had everything they needed (or wanted) so one year I signed up with that group that lets you buy livestock (chickens, milk cows, etc) to be given to communities in underdeveloped countries in dire need - so I did that - in their names. The guys seemed shocked - one of them said he heard people talk about stuff like that - but he didn't think anyone actually did it. ???????? I think they were actually disappointed they didn't get their usual bottle of booze or whatever.... hahahaha

Did you lose friends because Trump?

Lavergne comments on Sep 15, 2018:

I spent 25 years working with a group of die hard republicans - they referred to me as their token tree hugging, granola crunching, birkenstock wearing liberal. They were kidding (sort of) but I developed pretty thick skin. But even that didn't prepare me for the vicious way some of my friends (?) turned against me when I voiced my low opinion of their president. Oh well....

Excluding sex or bathing, what activities have you done naked?

Lavergne comments on Sep 15, 2018:

Definitely sleeping......and sometimes when cleaning the shower. I am a huge "bug magnet" so I try to cover up every available bit of skin when I go outside - otherwise they will devour me.

Lavergne comments on Sep 21, 2018:

I learned a long time ago to "pick my fights carefully". I just let people think whatever they want to regarding my faith - or lack thereof.....after all, its not like I'm on some kind of mission to convert anyone.

Some of these were better than others, like the, "Well, I did when you touched my hand!" ...

Lavergne comments on Sep 25, 2018:

That interview was a (bad) joke. If he really wanted to give the American people a chance to hear him - he wouldn't have given that interview on Fox News. He would have gone on Rachel Maddow's show - but then, of course, she would have asked him questions he didn't really want to answer. What a putz....(or the other P word)

Amazing how much not investigating can speed up an investigation.

Lavergne comments on Oct 4, 2018:

This choreographed dog and pony show is turning out exactly as we all predicted it would. I hope that Kavanaugh gets a real warm and fuzzy feeling every time he thinks about the number of members of the Bar Assn. who signed the letter stating he should not be confirmed. And its not because of his binge drinking teenage escapades - its because he has displayed an appalling lack of judicial temperament - and a deep seated bias and partisanship that judges are not supposed to bring with them to the bench.

For some reason I got earwormed by this song.

Lavergne comments on Oct 5, 2018:

Thanks for sharing.....always liked this song - seems like a million years ago. ;)

Lavergne comments on Oct 5, 2018:

We all know he is going to be confirmed, unfortunately.....and EVERY written opinion and every judicial ruling of his will have the stench of "what goes around comes around" all over it. He is damaged goods - no matter how much the GOP tries to scrub him clean.

There Is A Difference Between Dating and Courting | Sugardaddie.com

Lavergne comments on Oct 20, 2018:

I think it all boils down to chemistry....its either there or it isn't. If it's there, then good manners and breeding will dictate how fast or slow things move along. Some people are simply more sexual/sensual creatures so things can heat up between them very quickly. Others like to set a slower pace - or as you called it "a courtship period". Different strokes.....
