Benefits Of Owning A Pet Rock

Have you ever wanted a pet to feel loved but do not want the load of responsibilities that comes with a pet? Well, there is a very simple and easy solution to your problem, my friend. You should invest in your very own pet rock! They are fun to play with and are very loyal to you! You might be thinking that a pet rock might be stupid or pathetic, but here are seven benefits of having your very own pet rock:

1. Loyalty

Seeing that your pet rock does not have legs, fins, or any limbs for mobility, it will never leave your side. It will always be there for you when you need it. That is the kind of pet you need. Dogs and cats can leave you at any time they want to. They just walk out of your life, but not pet rocks! They will stay with you through your best times, your worst times or anytime. Some haters might say that fishes will not leave you either, but they can always jump out of their fish tanks to leave you. Pet rocks will literally stay in the same place for their entire lives!

2. Bathroom Clean Up

Your pet rock does not have organs to get rid of waste from their bodies, so they do not have to use the bathrooms at all. That is easy clean up for you, because there is no clean up! You will save lots of money by not getting a litter box or air fresheners, and you will save money on your water bills since they will not have to use the toilets at all. This is a win-win situation for you and your pet. You save a lot of money, and your pet rock can spend more time with you since it is not going to the bathroom all the time.

3. Maintenance

There is practically no maintenance for your pet rock. Unlike other pets, the pet rock is very independent and does not need its owner for everyday activities. The pet rock also does not like to get pampered with treats and nice clothing, so you save lots of money on that. All it wants is to spend time with you, and that is all that really matters.

4. Food

The pet rock actually does not have a digestive system, so it does not need to eat food at all. It actually gets its energy from the love and affection you give it, and that is free! You save lots of money by not getting fruits, vegetables, bread and other food that a normal pet would eat. Other pets would drown themselves with different candies and meats which would cost a fortune, but your pet rock would not have any of that!

5. Water

Like with food, your pet rock does not need water to survive, so your pet rock does not need to drink water. Drinking water is not just where you will save water. Pet rocks actually clean themselves by staying out in the sunlight. Through photo-sanitation, the rock destroys all the dirt and sanitizes its whole body in about 20 minutes in the sun. You save lots of water and soap that you would use to clean an ordinary pet like a dog or cat.

6. Savings

I have been stressing this throughout the past five reasons, but you save a lot more money by getting a pet rock than any other pet. For example, the first year for owning a dog costs you $1,270, and the first year for owning a cat costs you $1,070. For a pet rock, the cost for the first year is 0 dollars and 0 cents. There are no maintenance fees, no food costs, no extra water bills and nothing else that the pet rock would really need. The pet rock is basically a free way to feel loved!

7. Overall Love and Caring

Even though pet rocks can save you lots of money, in the end, they really give you lots of love and affection when you need it. They always are trustworthy, and never lie to you or your family. Pet rocks actually can help you out with groceries or everyday chores when you are just too busy or tired. If you are going through something very emotional like your marriage or a loved one's death, pet rocks are known for sympathizing with their owners unlike other pets. In the wild, these rocks give each other support through activities like competitions or having a death in the family. Your pet rock is very adapted to these situations, and it will love you to death!

Dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, parrots, birds, turtles and snakes do not show nearly as much emotion, passion and love to their owner as pet rocks do. They financially benefit the owner without the burden of cleaning the poop or bathing the rock. No matter how lonely or depressed you get in life, just know that you will always have your pet rock with you to give you the extra love you need!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
