Blog Entry 10 of 131 Buzz by Barbara
I think about a lot of things. I have opinions about most. What good are thoughts and opinions when not shared? I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours. Issues related to education really get me going. I love to dine on the hot potatoes of school accountability, standardized testing, corporal punishment in schools (outlawed in only about 28 states), scrutiny of school staff before hiring, teacher performance standards, and the weeding out of bad apples in education. I promote fitness as the miracle drug most of us seek. No pill will duplicate the health benefits of working our bodies. I strongly support the adage, "Don't breed or buy while shelter animals die." The world does not need more puppies or kittens. A visit to a local shelter is proof. I consider myself schooled in basic personal money management, the entrepreneurial spirit, domestic adoption, motherood in middle age, Baby Boomer issues, Southern culture, and how to cook a meal in twenty minutes. Whew. So, where shall we start?

Need help identifying strange creature

Contributed by: Barbara Neff   on 5/31/2006

While lounging at the Castle Pines Village neighborhood pool this afternoon, just before the rain, an odd creature pestered me without mercy. It caused a ruckus with its splashing, diving and flailing about. Strangest part of all....it acted as if it knew me. Can anyone help identify this beast?

Thank you, Donna. Your words are most reassuring. I did notice my heart did flip-flops whenever the creature was near. Felt like love.

This small creature looks suspiciously familiar. I do believe I had one of these that hung around our home several years ago. No matter what I did, it refused to leave. It started growing, and did finally lose the orange eyes. It now requires all of my money, my car, and most of the time doesn't need any of my time unless I insist. It has become very messy and I no longer enter it's sleeping area without a gas mask, and steel-toed boots on. One thing that puzzles me though, I have grown to love it and couldn't live without it. :-) Don't worry, you'll feel the same in a few years. :-)
