This day was so crappy – not awful – just crappy, that it will take me three days to get it out of my system. First, the day actually started out okay. After my shower, my darling husband brought me a delicious cup of coffee just the way I like it; and his cat, Leo,…
My dear husband owns (and drives) an old car – 1983 Toyota Corolla, which he loves dearly. This is not a pristine vehicle. It has been well-used and well-loved for 30+ years. However, the engine runs just fine. So, we live in California, so it is time to smog the vehicle. When he takes his…
Get your mind out of the gutter. (If it wasn’t there, I’ll give you a moment to realize why I think your mind is in the gutter, and then for you to climb back out of it. And if your mind still doesn’t go to the gutter, are you sure you’re old enough to be…
My head has turned into a snot machine; and I don’t even have bad allergies – just the mildly unpleasant kind. I keeping seeing FB posts about people being laid out with allergies and I should be (and I suppose I am) grateful that mine aren’t like that; but still, how much snot can one…
My husband and I will never be accused of being trend setters or living on the cutting edge of cool. We’re not even living on the dull edge of tepid. We recently watched the remake of Freaky Friday with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Curtis. I have heard Lindsay Lohan’s performance in Freaky Friday referenced as…
No this is not a fun topic. In San Jose, we have already had one baby killed by its father leaving him in the car all day because Dad forgot to drop the kid off at the babysitters and just went to work, leaving the kid in the backseat all day. (An unanswered question is,…
Or is it virii? (Okay, as a Registered Medical Transcriptionist, I know it is viruses.) Anyhow, every now and then Mozilla Firefox takes a dive on me. Actually, it takes a dive on me fairly often, but I close down the process with Task Manager and can usually go right back in. Not this time.…
Apparently, a horror film, The Quiet Ones, will be opening April 25, 2014. I am looking forward to this film’s opening, simply because I hope it means the end of all the stupid TV ads. About 95% of the time, we turn the sound off for TV ads. We do this for The Quiet Ones.…
This fat old lady just doesn’t get it. So a corporation is enough of a “person” that it has freedom of speech rights; and apparently, for a corporation, “freedom of speech” equals putting money in candidates’ pockets. And now corporations want “freedom of religion rights” because they don’t want to offer certain mandatory health benefits…
First, who is the sick fuck who put pieces of six habanero peppers in the woodchips of a school playground in Lakewood, Colorado? Second, seriously, this led to the evacuation of the school? Locking down the school would not be sufficient to keep the kids safe from habanero peppers? Makes you wonder how effective a…
