It is a GORGEOUS crystal clear (but freezing!) night here in Maine and the moon is like a spotlight out there lighting up the whole yard! I hope the weather clears out for others as well. I have personally never seen an eclipse because I'm either in bed or the weather is bad. I actually took a nap today so I could be up for it!

Thanks for the reminder to appreciate
those that we hold dear. Found out that a dear friend and his wife lost a baby today a month before he was to be born. Life is precious and most of us take it for granted.
Reminder to myself...
to put that on my list for the store today. Just what I need right now, too, a little egg nog and rum! Thanks for the idea.
just another reminder to cherish every day we have -
Thank you for sharing. :-)
Thank you for a great reminder. nm

I am for them. They are an important reminder
Although they are considered a religious symbol, it should not offend atheists to see them on the side of the road. This is America, land of many religions, and how someone wants to honor a loved one that has passed is their business in my opinion. They are free to be atheists and should allow others their freedom as well.
thanks for the reminder of address,
i remember there are people who do this, but can never seem to find the addresses when needed....God bless!
Good reminder about the two sides SM
I'm not condoning the animal kicking; it's wrong and there's no two ways around it, although I have to admit that when I have been trying to go in or out of the door without coming under siege by the dogs, my foot has swung- not hard enough to do any damage whatsoever but enough that it clears a path- but my dogs are small and low to the ground so the arm or shoulder that I might use to push past my big dog converts to a foot or a leg to move the little guys.
That being said, what I'm hearing as an undercurrent is that you live either in a rural or semi-rural area, and you have decided you want to move to the 'burbs and have convinced the kids that they want to move to the 'burbs, and everybody is nagging at your husband to get them out of the wasteland he calls a home and move them to the civilization of the 'burbs. Much like the rest of the animal kingdom, backing a man into a corner is going to bring about a reaction, and the whole overboard on the hunting thing may be him thumbing his nose at your suburban ideal.
Also, there are a lot of people who when they recently get into a new hobby or past-time go just a bit overboard. I myself have about 300 jigsaws down in the basement from when I thought that would be fun (only about 50 of them ever completed). My son has a collection of stuff from his martial arts phase that now sit in the back of his closet. My ex has owner's manuals and extra light bulbs and a million parts for that period when he was restoring his 1950s pickup truck. And I won't even talk about all the crap I have from various crafts I decided I was going to take up at a given time.
If you're looking for a reason to dump him and move to the suburbs, I guess his hunting is as good a reason as any. But obviously, at least to me, there are other issues, and I agree that if you want to save this marriage, counseling is the way to go.
