Because it looked like "home", secure, inviting, peaceful and safe. Solid.
And they didn't have a door from an adobe style home, lol!

Out of any president I've been around to hear, Obama (IMO) is one of the most well spoken speakers of all of them. That was a deeply felt eulogy, I can only imagine that the Biden's and Obama's are incredibly close. I saw this picture and it said it all, they are brothers.
I think of all the people I would ever want to meet and converse with, it would be Barrack, Joe, the Dalai Lama.......and Johnny Depp. I think we mulled over this many threads back, don't remember what I posted then, but that's my top 4 now.
Zuri, how fortunate your family has been to know the Biden's. I can only believe that they are just as truly wonderful and caring as you! :heartbeat: Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us!

I whole-heartedly agree.
Don't want to be political here, but I absolutely adore this president -- so eloquent -- I'm going to miss him.
And Joe Biden's example of how to comport oneself during a time of personal loss should be taught as a master class on the subject. How my heart goes out to him...
I also agree with your list ----- except for--------- Johnny Depp (!?). I guess I missed something, don't get that one. lol!

I purposely waited to watch President Obama give the eulogy until a time I could devote my undivided attention. His words spoke volumes to me, of the man who was speaking and the family and young man he spoke about. Absolutely incredible, all of them.

The Xanax didn't do a damn thing, so no it didn't blunt a thing. I get really weepy when my cortisol runs low and I didn't realize how extra emotionally labile I was. More prednisone did the trick. That and Xanax and Alcohol and Chocolate and Ice Cream.

Oh Bernina, you are so sweet. My friendship with Jill opened my world up and made me a better person. Famous people have 2 sides, public and private. I was fortunate enough to see both, up close. Xoxo

Is my sleep ever messed up! Went sleep around 5pm Sunday and woke up around 1 am Monday morning...I am wide awake.
Yesterday the kids had our 'Parents Day' out at the 'Plake'. Good times had by all. The little ones played and played. Lizzy was so tired she passed out in the swing! lol
Their was swimming, paddle boat rides, gossip, too much food, and just a nice time spent with family.
Sadly, our Ryan did not show up and everyone said he does not return their calls or texts This is breaking my heart and puts me in such a depression. I know he has his 'demons' he is fighting, but doesn't stop me from being a Mom and worrying...

Sharing the angel I drew 2 years ago for a guy who wanted it made into a tattoo. He already had a headstone tattooed on his back and he wanted an angel too lay on top of the stone. The tattoo artist could not find the type of angel the guy wanted, so he came to me. I didn't put all the details in it as the tattoo dude could do it.

We are having thunder showers and my dog is driving me nuts! I have did everything I know to do, trying too ease his nerves; nothing is working. I finally gave him some kids Benadryl (which I use for his allergies)...it worked. He is calm and almost asleep.
Has anyone tried the 'Thundershirts' for your dogs?

I picked Door#4 Red Door!
If you chose this door, you are prepared to go to battle.
Whether it's a legal battle, a struggle for power, or you're looking for a promotion at work, you have taken the steps to prepare yourself, and it will pay off. The red symbolizes power, as do the castle walls.
Not even iron and sharp edges will frighten you away from claiming what is rightfully yours. You have been locked out from what you wanted for too long, but now that you have crossed the moat, you're ready take the whole castle.
Hmmmm! Wondering what that is all about :thinking:

We have a rescue Manchester Terrier who is terrified of rain, storms, sounds of power tools, lawn mowers etc. We have tried everything, including the Thunder Shirt. I am not sure whether it works or not, as she is off the charts anxious. The Benadryl didn't work, the natural supplement from the pet stores didn't work, Melatonin and Xanax combined helped a bit. She is going to the vet on Thursday to see if I can get her on something that will work.

We also have a dog who is afraid of storms, certain big trucks, firecrackers, and gunshots that we can barely hear off in the distance. She does a bit better with a couple pet calming "natural" chewable treats or a liquid on her treats. The trouble is, when we find one that helps even a little, when I go back for more the store no longer carries it or it isn't in stock. I try to keep ahead of running out. She won't even let us hold her at these times. Sometimes she will let us put a blanket over her, not always. She takes herself to a far corner and lays trembling until she feels safe. I notice she will often go into the old crate we keep with a pillow inside and the door always open. I usually keep it covered with a blanket..... kind of like a cocoon or a cave to them and they feel safe in it. The thunder shirt worked for a relative's dog .... for a short time. Not as helpful now.

:loveyou: giggles, we take care of our friends, even if it means keeping them in line.
Daisymae is still hurting, and keeping an eye on us. It is still hard for her to type.
