Teal is For Real
So, this one is going to be shorter than my other articles, but since it is September I wanted to dedicate this article to the women in my family who have been affected by ovarian cancer, including my great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother.
Tatiana ParkerPublished 7 years ago in Viva'Flush' by Virginia Woolf
This short biography of Flush by Virginia Woolf is by no means a Disney-fied story of the life of a spaniel. This story is as realistically as possible a record of a dog’s interpretations of and feelings for the world he inhabits and his journey from Three Mile Cross in Berkshire to Florence in Italy without being anthropomorphically sentimental in any way. It is a book for dog lovers and it is a book for those who want to interpret the relationship between people and their dogs.

When I was a child, I spent a lot of time with my Grandad. He grew up in a small village in North Wales in the 1930s. He told me all sorts of stories and now, I wanted to tell them to you.
Sian EvansPublished 7 years ago in FamiliesThe Cold-Blooded Mammal Humans Drove to Extinction
About 5,000 ago, humans drove the Balearian cave goat to extinction on the Spanish islands of Minorca and Majorca. With no natural predators until the arrival of humans, these goats survived for millions of years with a scarcity of resources, baffling scientists with their ability to thrive until a study was conducted on their fossilized bones and discovered they were cold-blooded.
Best Breeds of Cats
Most people know a little bit about dog breeds. They can typically tell you what are the most popular dog breeds for families, which dog breeds are best for guarding locations, and which dog breeds shed the most. But, when it comes to cats, it's a totally different story.
Ossiana TepfenhartPublished 7 years ago in PetlifeIn Which I Address the Passing of My Mother
When I was little and the world was quiet, I would lie in bed and think about the earth and how big it was. Then my mind would shift to the solar system, and how we are constantly floating around amongst other planets and countless stars. Then I would think about how there was even more beyond that, perhaps beyond anything a single person could imagine. I would begin to feel dizzy, and would have to roll over and consider something on a smaller scale. That’s how I would describe losing my mother. It’s something that I know happened, but it’s not something I take time to regularly consider. And when I do, it’s weird as f@#k. And despite how big the world is, with all its winding roads and hidden places I haven’t visited, and how many launches we are making into space, my mom isn’t there. I wont find her anywhere. Not around the corner of a noisy street market like in some art film, and not on another planet that we’ll eventually colonize like some sci-fi twist. She’s gone.
Aspen DrakePublished 7 years ago in FamiliesSummer Time In Maine!
This is my son when he was 3 years old. This is very first time my son and I have seen the ocean. My husband has seen it many times on account that he has traveled the world. Anyway, back to our summer in Maine. My kids thought it would be cute to be buried in the sand. My husband and son dug a hole and buried my daughter up to her neck. My son wanted to do the same thing so my husband and daughter dug and hole and started to bury my son but he wasn't having it anymore, and I have the picture of his face saying yuck. I was laughing so hard, I wasn't sure if I was able to take the picture.

If you are the partner or family member of someone with PMDD, you have our sympathies. We know how challenging, disruptive, and scary that can be. Why does the ordinarily reliable, loving, generous, nurturing, capable woman in your life become decidedly unreasonable, overemotional, paranoid, seemingly selfish, and full of rage once a month? She seemed to like you so much only yesterday. Now she's demanding some space and acts like never seeing you again would be a gift. Is it something you did or said? It can be all too easy to take the PMDD behaviors personally and worse, lash out in return. So here are some helpful things to remember:
