With the kids finally back to school, the pressing question during the morning rush is "Mom, where are my socks?" One of my house rules is - if you don't put it in the laundry basket, it doesn't get washed. I wash your dirty clothes, I'm not going to look for them too. I bought plenty… Continue reading Sock it to Me
The big day in 1960 Some events are so big, so noteworthy that they deserve not only a blog post but a column to commemorate the occasion. I am speaking, of course, of the major milestone reached by my parents this month - 50 years of marriage. So here's the column I wrote in honor… Continue reading It’s Golden Baby!
I am learning that reconstructing your computer life after a serious crash is a lot more work than I imagined. Moral of the story, kids, back up your computer. Really.
Now that my computer is back, I can return to all manner of er, um research. Today I stumbled across this on CNN.com and honestly didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It might be one of THE most bizarre things I've ever read or seen (as is evidenced in the video). And if it… Continue reading To Laugh Or To Cry, That Is The Question
his has been an extremely crappy week regarding all things technology. Logging into my computer, I noticed my background was different. Then a pop-up announces - "Welcome to your new Dell!" Beg pardon? My computer thinks it is new. I'm confused. Apparently, so was my computer. I ignore all this and head straight into my… Continue reading Crashing

But if the founder of this… Continue reading Let’s Hear It For The Moms
Had you going there, didn't I? It was only a craving. It was just a sandwich. Couldn't happen. I asked for double knots and I got them. Because if I'd waited for The Husband to take care of business, I'd have been knocked up again. Men are so touchy about that sort of thing. But… Continue reading Sometimes It’s Just A Sandwich
It's fairly obvious that I've been MIA in the blogging world for the last week. That's because I've been off on a trip with The Husband. Just the two of us. Like grown-ups. It's been a long, long time. And it was wonderful. A friend left a message on my cell phone, "Have a… Continue reading It’s Only A Craving, Right?
Fox and ABC found this commercial too racy and deemed it inappropriate to air. It is now banned: They pulled the commercial from its spot during Dancing With The Stars which I find ironic given some of the costumes that appear on that show. And don't even get me started on the inappropriate story… Continue reading Ban This!
Starting and maintaining a website has been a part-time job. Throw in learning to point domain names and write a line or two of code. Add writing blog content in addition to a regular newspaper column and you've got a recipe for not only writer's block, but writer's panic. But I have to tell you,… Continue reading Discovered!
