A few simple rules:
Do not park your vehicles [...]

I have been seeing a lot of those commercials on TV lately that feature people giving a Lexus with a huge bow on top to their loved ones for Christmas. Can the average person really do this? If Andy bought me a car as a surprise without my knowing it, I would KILL [...]

Cody (my diabetic dog, for those of you who don’t know) has been having some problems with his blood sugar lately. I think it is partly because he has lost so much weight. He was nearly fifteen pounds originally, and now he is down to under eleven pounds.
