    Humming is Good for You

    Any song that gets stuck in your head. Currently, i've been humming "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again". Sometimes it's "When You're Young at Heart", various tunes from "The Sound of Music", or even Jingle Bells. Anything that strikes your fancy :)

    How can you take care of a pet dog when you live alone and decrepit?

    I live alone, and have 2 large dogs -- a Pitbull mix and a Great Pyrenees. Also a fenced yard. Recently got one of those 'magnet-closing' mesh screens, so they can go in and out at will. They make me laugh every day, even days when i'm in pain or just feeling blue :-)
