You're already a wonderful therapist, Scrappy. Your wise words have helped me many times. All you need is the piece of paper.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Oy. I'm not friends with my mother on facebook. A while ago, I promised her that, when I had kids, if I was posting photos and stories about them on facebook, then I'd friend her. She just sent me a message trying to convince me that this promise extends to her "granddog," as well.

What la-nubian said, Scrappy. I work for the Adult Career and Special Student Services dept. on my campus and we offer a number of different grants and scholarships for returning adult students: [link]
If you scroll down, you'll see a number of links to general resources: websites to look for other scholarships, financial advice, government assistance, etc.

I friended my mom. I figure I'll have a better chance of her being willing to dogsit if I go away for a few weeks during the summer if she thinks of the dog as her granddog. Plus, I'm getting tired of her complaining about not being my friend.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Thank you all for the support and the info. Buffistas are the best.

Our wings are not tired.
Note to self, no more bawdy stories about Hil on Facebook.
My parents always love the granddog pics posted.

I totally send granddog pics to the folks' digital picture frame.

Daisy was the most common female dog name for a long time. These days though, I see a ton of Emma, Lucy, Emily and Maggie. For boy dogs in this area, Jack has to be the all-time leader.
This seems to follow the 'grand dog' thing. Naming your dog like a child is super common.
I _love_ to see the families I deal with having multi-generation support systems for their pooches.

My mother was heartily offended when I referred to the cats as grand-cats.
