ADD – I’m a Human, Not a Magpie

So I was scouring around a couple of places for some new bumper stickers. Now that I have more than three (I don’t know if this is a real rule, or I just made it up) I can keep going to as many as I want. Heh. So I’m not certain what exactly to add [...]

Great Grammarian in the Sky. . .

Forgive me my errors in the previous post, in which I railed about other people’s grammar. I was irate and sick. Now I’m less irate, but more sick. *Hack, cough, hack!* I’ll go back later and correct them and then pretend I never made them. Heh. I woke up so late that I don’t want [...]

Something That’s Been Bothering Me.

Besides the Christmas music and decorations and Black Friday Sales that begin at 12:01. . . It’s related, though. The opening salvos of the Christmas attack are the catalogues. So many, they could feed a small country for a year on what they cost. (Or on the catalogues themselves, depending on whether the people are [...]

Missed Opportunity!

So sad. . . Two well-dressed young Mormon fellows came to our door this afternoon. Unfortunately, I was on my way out the door to take Audrey to band rehearsal to engage in a meaningful dialogue with them. So I simply said to them, “You’re at the wrong house.” I wish I had had a [...]

Briefly Awake.

I’ve been doing nothing but sleep the last two days. Gawd, I hate being sick. But here’s something that got lost a few weeks ago that I will re-post to give you a laugh.

I’m Worn Out.

Friday, after rushing around to pack, clean the van, and make sure I had everything I needed in the van, I drove down to Baltimore with another band mom (whose daughter is one of Audrey’s best friends here.) It wasn’t a bad drive, not too much traffic, and we made good time by ignoring the [...]

Oh, How Cute!

Yeah. Three kittens snuggled together in the tube. This won’t last long, they’re getting bigger every day. All together now, AWWWWWW! Nigel, Schubert, and Nancy.

On a Lighter Note – Miscellaneous Updates.

Cats: Clarence was adopted. Edgar and Alfie are still looking for homes. The new kittens are getting bigger, and are playing with the dog and the other cats. Pics to follow soon. Nigel had roundworms. Ick. Ickickick. All better now after medicine, but the episode confirmed. . . Bifocals: I need a different prescription. Distance [...]

Atheist Morality

At one point, I had an idea to write a regularly-scheduled themed post. Say, once a week. I got as far as finishing one piece and jotting down ideas for several others. I was reminded of this when I typed the words “copy” and “paste” in the last post. . .if I wait until I [...]

The War on Christmas. . .again.

Ed Brayton, at Dispatches From the Culture War, postulates: Seems like Bill O’Reilly’s idiotic blather about the war on Christmas starts earlier every year. How about a War on Demagoguery? I replied with a novel. I haven’t posted here in over a week. Plus, I’ve bitched about this before. Still, a copy-paste of my comment [...]
