And I appreciate the offer to borrow from your own collection. There's a picture of the first Inauguration Ball on the upright piano in my living room - I actually bought an 11x14 print of that one because I wanted it in a prominent place to enjoy every day. I'll visit your journal tomorrow if that's okay; been wanting to read it anyhow. Since joining this group I haven't been in attendance very much because of so much going on in my life right now. But I want to browse more often starting tomorrow.
Anyone's welcome to check out my journal and profile as well. I didn't join DU to be a stranger.
While it's no excuse, I've been working on fitting a new puppy into our 2-pack, and just dragging her back from the threshold of death took all my time for several days. At 3 months old she was 8" tall at the shoulder when the rescue group brought her to me, and weighed less than 4 lbs - too weak to lift herself up the 6" risers on the front steps.
Then I made the mistake of jumping into a pet group thread involving pit bull lovers vs. nots, and wrestled with them for a few days. So many people just go off their nuts on that subject. Pray I can keep out of the next dustup, because I might get a little testier there than I should; and people never seem to change their minds AT ALL, so it's pretty much a dead end. Very few listen to what anyone else is saying or tries to understand why.
But I'm going to try to catch up on some of the more recent posts in this group ASAP. I see a lot of interesting titles. Too bad I missed so many before I even knew this wonderful DU world existed.
