Dear Spammers, Mostly I overlook you. You get caught in my spam filters and, like a pesky fruit fly on a banana, you get squished. But sometimes, every once in awhile, I catch you myself. You sneak through the filters and go directly into my inbox where I open the email because I think it’s [...]

To My Kids: No Means NO
June 26th, 2011 
admin To my children…the WHY generation, You constantly challenge and question my authority. You never accept that NO is the final answer. Even when I’ve said it repeatedly.

June 26th, 2011 admin Four years. I’ve been blogging for four years. Well, four years in September. I’ve never had such bad blockage. Ever. It’s so uncomfortable.

Me And Reality TV or Searching For The Zipper
June 19th, 2011 admin I was thin once. Or twice. I used to be fat, too. Often. I was also quite chunky. Then, I got thin again. Very thin. Which led right into fat again. Doctors might consider me obese. I shudder at that. I’m a human yo-yo. I’m dizzy from the constant perpetual motion. I don’t know how [...]
To My Children…I Understand
