I was sitting here racking my brain trying to think of what to post about. Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see my BFF staring at me. His eyes said "you've got to be kidding me". I said back "you are absolutely right. You are the perfect subject for a blog post any time"
Even though it's a repeat here is the man of the hour
So now the question of the day is which is correct? Is it racking my brain or wracking my brain? I did a google search and found that some sites said that either was correct where others said that racking was the correct answer.

I always thought it was spelled with a W. Oh MY, your first picture of you and Gibbs!!! It is awesome!!! The definition of love between us and our furry friends. Sweet, touching, and beautiful.
I always thought of it without the w. It doesn't matter, the main thing is we always love to see pictures of Gibbs.
Such cute photos and he is certainly the perfect creature to write about. I also thought that it was wracking your brain
In future when you can't come up with a post I for one will never complain if you fill the void with Gibbs, I love that little dog.

Rack or wrack is a dilemma, this is from Grammarist : "Rack [one’s] brain
Rack [one’s] brain is one common phrase in which rack in the torture-related sense is figuratively extended. To rack one’s brain is to torture it or to stretch it by thinking very hard.
To wrack one’s brain would be to wreck it. This might sort of make sense in some figurative uses, but rack is the standard spelling where the phrase means to think very hard. Wrack [one’s] brain is so common, though, that we have no choice but to consider it an accepted variant (some dictionaries agree with this)."
Love the pic of you and Gibbs and am so envious. :)
I don't care which it is, I just know he is the perfect subject! He is a darling boy!
I don't care either, but I do love to see Gibbs. He's always a welcomed sight each day he is featured.
Have a fabulous day, Ann. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. ♥♥♥
Cute little Gibbs! I always spell wracking with a W (obviously!)
All this racking of the brain is wrecking mine! ;)
Awwww so sweet!! He has very intense eyes. I would use racking - never even thought of using the other spelling.
Racking sounds better to me!
You don't have to respond to all of my comments. I just need to get caught up.
I'm back in the world of blogging. Ahhh, Love the top photo! Gibbs is such a sweetie (and so are you)
Gibbs is the cutest!
I have no idea!

the grammar and spelling police are on vacation. Now that last word, isn't one I would normally use, we here in my generation in NZ would say on holiday...
but the connection with other speakers in quite different countries, who apparently also speak English has changed so many of our words and phrases...
