They Haven’t Done Enough Damage, Right?
Those pesky Bush administration officials are trying to kill as many as two-thirds of the wolf population in Yellowstone and the Rockies. I may not belong out west, but the wolves do. Protect them and urge the US Fish and Wildlife Service to get their heads out of their asses and come up with a [...]
Forgiveness and Facebook
Lots of people cut ties with their past and end relationships in order to move on. I understand the need to renew yourself by forging ahead without looking back. But when I find someone special, I hold on for life. I found most of my closest friends in the 1980s. Not all. Family members have [...]
It’s Almost Turkey Time. You Know What That Means?
It’s time for my annual post entitled: “Oh no. Not in my mouth, you don’t.” Test yourself. Can you watch this all the way through? Are you still hungry for flesh and tumors and ulcers? Vegans are thinner, healthier, cuter, tastier, and smell better than meat eaters. Don’t make me prove it to you. While [...]
I’m Not Really Domestically Inclined
However, I do like a green kitchen, which means more than just having the right appliances and avocado-colored counters. Being eco-friendly means serving food that’s easy on your digestive system and the world around you. Answer this question: Your guests want their martinis shaken, not stirred. You’ll fill the shaker with ice cubes from (a) [...]
Thank a Veteran Today
Here are some ways to thank former soldiers for their service to our country. Call. Booty-Call. Write. Write on their wall. Write on their body with whipped cream. Send a thank you note. Deliver it in person. Wearing your best nightie. Have your kids send an email. Put the kids to bed and send one [...]
My Zodiac Sign is Scorpio
November 10, 1969–9:31am–Dunmore, Pennsylvania My mother passed out within seconds because pain medication makes her “feel funny”. Doctors used forceps to yank me out of there. Mom blames my stubborn streak and big head. I just wanted to avoid the Nixon administration. Everyone “ooh’d” and “ahh’d” even though, let’s face it, I was a funny [...]
Living with My Parents
It presents certain challenges. Dad’s a grump and Mom never met a catalog, children’s artwork, or lottery ticket she didn’t want to keep “just in case.” The benefits of living here are abundant. I’m saving a ton of money, my mother cooks the most delicious meals and she enjoys hanging out with my children. The [...]
Lutz Little League Isn’t for Wimps
I have never really enjoyed outdoor activity and sports are boring. There. I said it. Combining the two always sounded like torture until I had children of my own. Sure, I’d prefer an air-conditioned museum or theatre-going experience, but I gave birth to two athletes. They came out swinging so there’s nothing I can do. [...]
Calling Obama Supporters!
I hope you’ve enjoyed your rest. You deserved it. Now it’s time to get back to work. Health care is in crisis, troops must be brought home, and a troubled economy needs help. Global warming? Hello? Barack Obama cannot do it alone. If we go back to watching television instead of staying engaged in the [...]
