Rock Memorabilia - Vintage Rock Posters

Funny how if you hold onto things long enough they usually end up being valuable - and rock and roll memorabilia and vintage rock posters are no different. I have a few pieces of prized rock and roll items in my possession- A Beatles concert program from a 60's concert in San Francisco -and an old Santana poster from the 70's that fared in far worse shape thanks to being plastered on my garage wall. My brother, 10 years older than me (lucky dog) was the one that brought that Beatles program home to me one night after the concert, along with a big Beatles poster (which unfortunately I don't have anymore, sure wish I did!)

Hookahs For Sale

Hookahs For Sale - A Hookah What??

A strange looking apparatus has sprung up at my house and taken residence...and it looks suspiciously close to what we used to call a "bong" back in the 70's. My daughter however bought this Hookah for sale at a specialty store down the street (2010) - to smoke tobacco out of. I have to admit, it's a beautiful piece of artwork. The aroma that comes forth is also amazingly nice (it smells like blueberry wafting through the house) but I have to wonder... how did this throwback from the 70's show up again? More here:

Tough Love is Tough

An article I wrote about tough love and how it makes me feel. Tough love has been called "being cruel to be kind" because that IS how it feels sometimes. If someone you love is being abusive to you or hurtful it might be time to make some healthier boundaries with them.

Pit Bull Puppies and Dogs: Couch Potatoes?

My latest article about my experience with a Pit Bull puppy. I had preconceived notions about the breed and have come to understand that although bred for fighting, this breed has alot of great traits. I know some people will disagree with me but I think alot of the bad rap that the American Bull Terrier breed gets is because of the owners treatment of the dogs, not the breed themselves.
