Metallica. Really loud, but only when I'm alone in my car, as a stress reliever. And if you knew me in the three-dimensional world, you'd never believe it. No one knows this about me, but me. And now, all of you. Speaking of Van Morrison, my husband and I dance to "Into the Mystic" in front of the kids to embarrass them. Cat Stevens (as he was formally known) also has a number of earthy tunes that can bring you back to what's important. Editing to add that our kids are of the eye-rolling stage... we dance together to show them examples of a loving relationship, not to do any psychological damage.

Our Shi Tzu loved the TV, and would sit there and wait for an animal, dog, or cow or horse whatever, and would bark at it. My son is a Wheaten terrier, (OK, if you don't understand that, then what can I say) and we leave the TV on for him during the day in our bedroom. He sleeps on our bed, where he can watch TV and look out the back window at the woods. I think even if the only benefit is that it drowns out other noises that would make him bark and run around, it helps him relax and chill so he is ready to go for his run when I get home. My .02, your mileage may differ.....

I don,t know if the classic pate has changed but I know tthe grilled fancy feast liver and chicken canned cat food has definitely changed. Color is different and it smells different and my cat wont eat it any more.. At first I thought I might have gotten a batch that was mislabeled but I have tried two other batches from different stores and they are the same. My cat says Yuk, and so do I. Think I am gonna switch to another brand for a while. I did try some flavors of Weruva cat food. Its more expensive but has quality ingredients. Lots of flavors and varieties. My cat doesn,t like all of them but I did find a few that she will eat and I am happy to pay a little more if the ingredients are quality and she likes it.

I can't even remember all of the concerts I've been to, but the first was Dave Clark Five. Next I saw the Rolling Stones, then a Dick Clark Caravan of Stars (many groups) The Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, James Gang, Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Moody Blues, Elton John, Ten Years After, Procol Harum, John Mayall, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Jefferson Airplane, The Who (twice), Hot Tuna, The Tubes, Jefferson Starship, Nina Hagen, Stray Cats, Orchestral Maneuvers, The Clash, U2, English Beat, Romeo Void, The Cure, Flock of Seagulls, Bryan Ferry, Pete Shelley, Killing Joke, Love and Rockets, Oingo Boingo, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Crystal Method, Human League, Blondie, Stereo MC, Echo and the Bunnymen, Peter Gabriel, Grace Jones, Jane's Addiction, David Byrne, Air, K.C. & the Sunshine Band, Gang of Four, plus others that slip my mind at the moment. A good portion of these I saw in San Francisco, which was a great place for concerts. I started in San Antonio and then Houston before I moved to SF. I've seen a fair number in L.A. also, but I haven't been to any concerts in quite a few years now. I used to go every other week (or more often) in San Francisco in the 1980s. I used to live next door to the Tubes at one time, and I also lived down the street from Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys just before I left SF.
