Hi fellow bunnies. I REALLY need to get some attention right now. Good thoughts from you or prayers if that is something you do. I won't give you much because I am a middle-aged male raised Irish Catholic and as such you can load me up with booze and I can get maudlin but mostly I am easy going but stoic about what comes at me.→Read more...

Happy Thanksgiving! It's a normal working day here, but I hope everyone who's celebrating has a wonderful day.

Let us know how your day has been? Who did you celebrate with? What did you eat? What are you thankful for?

What are some things or people that you have a "thing" for? When my National Park Service magazine arrived the other day, I said, "I have a thing for the National Park Service!" It's true, I love following what they're doing on a national level. I also have a thing for Rose Wilder Lane/Laura Ingalls Wilder, Shirley Temple, Handel's Messiah, and Full House Reviewed. You? What are your things?
