​ Okay folks it's a new day in a new year and yours truly has broken her own rules in making resolutions and decided to actually make a few this year.   Blame it on lack of sleep, but I thought that maybe--just maybe--I could do it. So with that said I, the Empress of the known & unknown Universes™ (self-proclaimed!) hereby resolves the following... I resolve not to refer, infer, state, imply or look at anyone as if they were an idiot. Unless they are being idiots, then I'm obligated to call them out on it.  Due to legalities of said resolutions I am prompted to declare a disclaimer: I got a new Thesaurus for Christmas. And no, that's not one of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park!  I resolve to stop asking peopl e one particular question, and that question being how stupid can you be? After years of careful observation, I've come to the conclusion that asking such a question would prompt some into thinking it was a challenge.  This in turn would hav...

 TO EVERYONE HAVING A BIRTHDAY TODAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!  

Dd you know that there are actually three saints that Valentine’s Day origins stem from?  The Catholic church recognizes that there were three saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. In one legend, when Emperor Claudius II mandated that all young soldiers were to refrain from marriage in order to be better soldiers, Bishop Valentine defied him and married couple in secret. He was put to death when the Emperor discovered his secret ceremonies. There is also the rumor that Valentine was imprisoned and fell in love with a jailer’s daughter, who visited him during his sentence. Before his death, he sent her a letter that ended in “from your Valentine.” Another theory suggests that a Valentine helped Christians escape the harsh conditions of Roman prisons. Aside from a fascinating history, there are plenty of modern and historical facts worth knowing. Do you know where the first chocolate candy box came from? Or what women used to do so they could dream abo...

Here are 10 tips on how to keep your pet from panicking this Fourth of July weekend. 10. Keep your Pet Indoors at All Times! It may seem obvious, but even if your pet is used to being outside, the resulting panic caused by fireworks or other loud noises may make them break their restraint or jump a fence in a terrified attempt to find safety. 9. Don’t Put Insect Repellant on Your Pet that isn’t Specifically for Pet Use The same tip applies to applying “people” sunscreen on your pet. What isn’t toxic to humans can be toxic to animals. The ASPCA lists the poisonous effects of sunscreen on your pet as, “…drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, excessive thirst and  lethargy .” DEET, a common  insecticide , may cause neurological issues. 8. Alcoholic Drinks Poison Pets If your pet drin...
