I bought that Murano clown decanter back around 1993 for 25 dollars.  I had it on a shelf with some other stuff I delight in, way in the back.  About 2 in the morning I heard the crash.  One of my little darlings had gotten in the shelf and pushed the decanter unto the floor.  Cats are a delight and a reward no one should go without.

The 'It Equine' Sierra!

Hi Guys ! Imagine My Little Pony meeting up with Barbie for some fashion advice and you've got a pretty good idea of what I have for you today !  This is Sierra , one of the four Struts horses, who were introduced by Playmates Toys in 2008 .   Everything you might want to know about Sierra, or " Sia " as her friends call her, is right here on the back of the package .  Naturally, I've got some questions .  How does a horse get into a kayak ?  How do horses eat pizza ?  I'm all about suspension of disbelief , but some things I just can't let go !  Oh well, it's just a toy , right?  And you sure don't want to put limits on a kid's imagination !

  Another outing with Amber, my ace reporter Meerkat journalist. This time busting a psychic  The sign on the shop read: ‘ Mystical Madame Mandy: Psychic Readings by Appointment ’. A large neon eye was glowing above with huge wooden hands shimmying to and fro alongside. Amber - ace meerkat reporter - snapped a photo of the storefront in a little strip mall in the north side of town. She had just photographed an elderly mink walking out of the subject’s shop. Amber vaguely recognized her as an heir to a steel works fortune. The storefront was part of a strip mall close to the other shopping centers and next to a grocer, of all things. It was surprising that a successful con artist would choose such a place, but faux modesty probably went a long way in swindling people. “She told me misfortune was following me,” The old hare woman had said when Amber interviewed her. “A-and she could help cleanse the negative energies in my life.” “You believed her?” “Yes: It made so much sense....
