My Weight Loss Saga - Chapter One

I’m trying to lose weight. I would like to lose about 40-50lbs. It’s going to be very difficult due to my bad back. I can’t do any real exercise. I can walk, on smooth surfaces. Oh God, I’m gonna be a mall walker.

I’ve just started walking laps in my house. I have a long straightaway that I can do laps through. I do at least 100 laps a day right now. Sometimes 150, when I’m really motivated.

My biggest enemy is Pepsi. I love it. It no longer loves me back. It treats me like an abusive husband. I want it so bad, and it does nothing but hurt me. And I go back for more every time.

I Suffer From Major Depression

I suffer from Major Depression. There, I said it. I’ve left this blog for a while due to terrible writer’s block, which happens every time I get depressed. I also suffer from anxiety and BPD (which is not Bipolar, it’s Borderline Personality Disorder), since we’re being honest.

I have to apologize. I set up this blog to talk about things going on in my life every day. Then I proceeded to post a bunch of old articles I’d written a few years ago on Associated Content. They are decent articles, but they have nothing to do with what’s going on in my life. I have a little trouble talking about myself.

What Do Wild Baby Rabbits Eat?

Rescuing Wild Baby Rabbits

A question many veterinary clinics get in spring and summer is, "what do wild baby rabbits eat?" This often happens after a lawn mower finds a rabbit nest. Find out what to feed a wild baby rabbit to prepare it for release back into the wild.

As a general rule it's best to let wild baby rabbits remain safely in their nest. Sometimes circumstances force us to become surrogate mothers to wild baby animals, as was the case for me when a lawnmower went over a rabbit nest. I was faced with trying to save eight wild baby rabbits with injuries ranging from shock to one fatality. After tending to the injuries I called my veterinarian to find out what wild baby rabbits eat.

My veterinarian explained that it's difficult to replicate food for baby bunnies. It's best to contact a wildlife rescue organization near you, especially if there are severe injuries. Because I've had veterinary experience, and all of these baby rabbits had their fur and would only need a week or so of assistance before release back into the wild, he gave me the instructions. Wild rabbits do not make good pets and should always be released back to the wild or to a wildlife rescue..

Top 10 Movie Quotes of All Time and What They Mean to Me

My mother was the most avid movie fan that I have ever met. She took us to the movies every single Sunday afternoon, and sometimes Saturdays as well. When we had cable installed in the late 1970's, we would get up every Saturday morning and watch WTBS, where they ran old movies. This is where I was first introduced to Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, Humphrey Bogart, and my favorite Gregory Peck. It is true that they don't write them like they used to, as I had trouble narrowing down my list to just a top ten.

Here goes!

10.) "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!"

What movie quote list would be complete without this classic, used originally of course by Clarke Gable as Rhett Butler in Gone With the Wind. Though most kids today have no idea where this line is from (and the explicative is often more colorful), this is a true classic movie quote.
