• getting out with your pets

  Okay, my pet is a horse. I do not own a dog. I like dogs and we like to be dog sitters instead of owning one. I am riding my horse today. It takes my mind off of the world problems and the things I don’t understand. I am getting my iPhone tripod figured out […]

  Are you a health fit person who believes in drinking lots of water throughout the day. This was an interesting read from my chiropractor who posted info about how much water to consume. I do drink water but I notice that after a few glasses my urine is clear for the rest of the day. […]
