ISSR SHILOH SHEPHERDS

I had wanted to have another dog for many years. I wanted a dog which would be loyal, easy to train, intelligent, a watch dog not a guard dog, impressive in mind and body. One day I stumbled across a picture of a Shiloh Shepherd. I could not stop looking at the picture. It featured a group of shepherds who were eye popping to look at. Some of them were shorthaired or what I later learned is called smooth coated, and some of them were long haired, or plush if you will.

The plush… Continue

"ON THE ROAD AGAIN" POST 6

I can't recognize my old friends and they can't recognize me...

I officially launched Snabbo, a Social Network Allowing Baby Boomers Only, on September 9, 2009. Since I kept this idea pretty well under wraps for the entire 3 years of its development, it invariably came as a surprise to my friends when they received an invitation to test the site. Many expressed curiosity as to why I did this. I decided to take a stab at blogging about the experience. I hope to document this process from the genesis of the Snabbo idea, through the development phase and into… Continue

GREETINGS!

Hi. I'm new here, trying to get feel for the place, finding the best ways to get conversations started? It's just about getting them started! This season I'm a Colts fan. I'm hoping they win today because it's otherwise a cold, gray day in Indy.

Believe

Believe nothing of what you hear, and only half of what you see in the real world. Beleive nothing of what you see and nothing of what you hear online. The richeous are not the richeous, the good people are not the good people, the bad people are not the bad people, the devils are not the devils, and the angels are not the angels...

Do not give money to anyone on-line unless you have thoroughly checked them out first.....There are many scammers...some good enough to make the best of… Continue

Thank You

This Veterans' Day: I want you to know how much I appreciate all you’ve been to me and my future, how you’ve fought and suffered the pain of separation from loved ones, comrades and life as I live it; how do I thank you proper, what is it I need to do to make you see you are loved by me, this piece of the human race I represent the face of thousands, millions who will never suffer your hand because you honor my freedom to live and love. Carry on.

Headed Towards Defeat In Afghanistan

It has now been more than seven long weeks since the top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan, General Stanley A. McChrystal, reported on the desperate need for more troops in Afghanistan, warning that defeating the insurgents will not be possible if the United States fails to "gain the initiative and reverse insurgent… Continue

Famous Half-Jews: Eduard Hanslick

I've decided to start a new feature on TBD. It's called Famous Half Jews. From time to time I will bring to readers' attention the numerous individuals who have had one Jewish parent. I myself am half-Jewish. My father was a Jew; my mother, Polish Catholic. I believe that Jews have many role models. Half-Jews, however, are frequently overlooked. Half-Jews need role models, too. It is my hope that I will bring attention to high-achieving half-Jews and provide role models to the many half-Jews… Continue
