Yakasses on a Plane? Say it Ain’t So!

We’re less than a week away from the busiest time of the year in air travel – the Christmas holiday season.  According to the American Air Trade Industry, between December 17 and January 6, 15 million people will line up for their pre-flight TSA grope.  And if the FCC gives the green light, those 15… Continue reading Yakasses on a Plane?

The Last Best Place – But Not For Haters

  I’ve lived in Bozeman a long time.  One of the things I’ve always appreciated about this community is how welcoming it is – to everyone.  It reminds me of my Southern home where when company comes, we roll out the red carpet to show folks we’re glad you’re visiting.  We throw a little extra… Continue reading The Last Best Place – But Not For Haters

When The Girls Go South

I've been spending time playing with paint, paper and scissors which will play hell with my upcoming deadline. Because Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest aren't big enough Time Sucks in my life. So before I throw myself into a Writing on Deadline Frenzy, here's what I've been working on. It was inspired by a column about… Continue reading When The Girls Go South

Still Holding On – and Holding

It was a simple question.  It should have been on the website.  It wasn’t.  So it should have been a quick and easy phone call.  Forty-seven minutes later, I realized I was in hell – that tortured no man’s land of a customer service phone call known as On Hold. So it was only fitting… Continue reading Still Holding On – and Holding

A Letter to My Hacker

That’s because you stole my identity, you Cyber Scum. Now I’m racking my brain trying to figure… Continue reading A Letter to My Hacker

Glitchy, Glitchy

Just when you think you've got your technological poop in a group - a glitch arises.  Moving this blog to wordpress was a real pain in the ass an adventure.  The software that was supposed to transfer the whole shootin' match over with ease simply didn't work.  This meant I had to move every post and… Continue reading Glitchy, Glitchy

Crashing

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

Ban This!

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!

Poison Pen Time

I am about to unleash my poison pen because I am FURIOUS. And when I'm feeling that way, nothing makes me feel better than unleashing my wrath in a scathing letter to the person in charge telling them exactly what happened. Actually, there is one thing that makes me feel even better than writing it.… Continue reading Poison Pen Time
