Before anyone gets all up in arms and wants to call CPS on me, let me explain. In recent headlines there have been two instances of parents who publicly “humiliated” their kids on Facebook for being disrespectful and bratty. One man took his revolver, unloaded several bullets into it and posted the video on his […]
Ankle deep in peanuts and profanity.
Spoiler alert: This post is going to have a healthy dose of social commentary, and will possibly offend someone. (So deal with it.) A good friend of mine was given four front row tickets to yesterday afternoon’s Angels game. Did I want to be spontaneous (shut up! Sometimes I can be…) and take Conner and […]
8 years and 1 day.
8 years and 1 day ago, we stared in horror at images on our TV screens (or worse, as it happened around us at the scene.) 8 years and 1 day ago, our fear and anger led us to firm resolve. 8 years and 1 day ago, we came together as a nation and as […]
Nothing fun about this post. Move along.
If you’d like to maintain a light hearted, fun association with my blog, please skip this post. Really. This is political. Actually, it’s not just political. It’s about morality. You still here? OK – you’ve been fairly warned. Handsome Hubby gets 99% of his news from the internet. In so doing, he sees things the […]
Before theatrical, effeminate Adam Lambert…. there was this guy.
Seen it. (yawn.) And yes, there was a time when I did have the t-shirt.
Sucky anonymous comments are the online equivalent of egging my car.
So, I have had so much fun this past week, making new friends in Blog-Land and reading comments they have left me. Last Monday after reading about it on All That Is Good, I played along with a post and I listed 10 things that bugged me. I got lots of fun comments and then […]
These are a few of my (least) favorite things….
Tyrone Wells (one of my favorite singers) has a song called The Hate Song. It’s a funny list of things a jilted boyfriend has compiled in order to make himself feel better. Things I hate, in no particular order: 1) People Who Don’t RSVP I have actually put “Please let me know as soon as […]
Dear God, when will this end?
I am afraid to turn on the TV or get online for fear I will see another report of a mass shooting. Besides the high-profile random shootings like the one today in Binghampton, New York; or the one in Samson, Alabama; there have been at least 4 this year in California alone, where an entire […]
Back-breaking amounts of homework.
This is wrong. There should be no need for kids to have to carry this much in their school backpacks. Conner’s backpack easily weighs 40 pounds. Devin’s weighs a bit more than that. Are today’s schools under the impression that our children are pack-mules? (Stubborn and mule-headed does not mean they can carry this much […]
What’s a little debt between taxpayers?
A friend sent this to me in an email and I was floored… All this talk about “stimulus packages” and”bailouts”… A billion dollars… A hundred billion dollars… Eight hundred billion dollars… One TRILLION dollars… What does that look like? It’s so much money that I can’t even comprehend that prefix… So, to provide some scale […]
