Dealing with A Broken Shoulder

Dealing with A Broken ShoulderFour months ago, my feet went out from under me when I walked on a glazed concrete garage floor that had become wet from rain. I landed on my shoulder and knew from the crack I heard that I'd broken it. X-ray confirmed that I had a fractured proximal humerus bone.

Loaves of bread

When is Enough Enough?A friend of mine, for as long as I can remember, would say, "A loaf of bread costs what it costs, and you can eat only so much bread. Why would you buy more bread then you could ever use?". In my younger years I would chuckle to myself.

 

Affording Real Food

Affording Real FoodRecently, I was talking with a friend about the difficulty of feeding our growing families affordably but also in a healthy way. She was talking about the extra cost of buying and preparing "real food", meaning not processed and mostly from scratch. I started wondering if it is really more expensive?

Questions

What Breed Is My Dog?I have adopted this handsome puppy from a rescue group. They stated he is Pitbull/Labrador mix and was the runt of his litter. He is 11 weeks old and only weighs 4 lb 11 oz. which is small for both breeds, even for the runt. His fur is brown and white, fuzzy, but not very soft. He has green/hazel eyes.

What Breed Is My Dog?We got a puppy 2 weeks ago and I've been really wondering what breed she is? They found her in a box with her sisters and brothers.
