Alex, our black cat, has been crying lately. He looks so cute and so pitiful that we feel sorry for him. I think he has spring fever and wants to go outside. He does not understand the dangers of coyotes, alligators, cars, and...

I think kids are making YouTube videos with AI. I do not like some of the reels. I have seen videos of child abuse, violence, crimes, inappropriate behavior, and videos I don't even understand of strange characters and loud music....

We celebrate Easter in our family.
My kids got Easter Baskets with green shreds for grass. We filled the basket with candy and small toys, often chicks or bunnies. It seems that they stuffed themselves with too much candy.

I tried to take a picture using...
