Sickles High School in Trouble for Crotch Shot Photo
Another Sickles’ goof or goof-up?
When I first heard about the bare vagina on display in the pages of Sickles High School’s 2009 yearbook, I laughed out loud.
One of those deep belly laughs that last for five minutes. My tongue hangs out. I grab my sides. The works. I could just picture the yearbook advisor catching [...]
3 Year-Old Boy Lost for Two Days Found Safe – Just Don’t Call it a Miracle
I read this morning in the newspaper about a little boy lost for two days in Missouri. They finally found 3 year-old Joshua Childers alive and well, albeit tired and a bit scared, in the woods not far from where he disappeared.
It’s hard to read the story and not get teary-eyed.
My mom heard the good [...]
Why I Won’t Join NOW or PETA
You might think I’d be the perfect candidate for these two groups.
Feminist? Check.
Pro-Choice? Check.
Vegetarian? Check.
Animal-rights activist? Check.
And yet I refuse to be associated with either organization. This is due to experiences I had over fifteen years ago in the early 1990s, but they are still relevant today. Check it.
I went to a NOW recruitment meeting [...]
“Babe. Don’t worry about your breasts. Your old classmates will be distracted to see your hair now moves when the wind blows.”
Most of my readers will remember the posts I’ve written regarding an old high school classmate of mine, Darby Steadman, who is struggling with cancer. She has turned that struggle into an opportunity to help women, both today and in the future.
Here’s our chance to help out, too.
The Driving for Driving Miss Darby Golf Tournament [...]
A Public Service Announcement – Against Stupidity in All Its Forms
There’s a teacher at my old school who’s spreading misinformation based on faulty science and fundamentalist nonsense.
No, I’m not talking about Intelligent Design. What’s interesting is that this particular teacher would probably frown on such mindless stupidity. Yet she’s just as bad.
She is telling students about the dangers of vaccinating babies and toddlers.
“If you ever have [...]

For those of you who like killing and passion…with a twist of humor.
Who Wears Old Spice Anyway?
The cologne that smells like alcoholic traveling salesmen smells even worse now.
Old Spice sponsored a contest recently through an all-things-penis-y blog called ‘The Art of Manliness.’ This site focuses on “uncovering the lost art of being a man.”
I sh*t you not.
I’ve been to the Ale House on Sunday afternoons. It ain’t lost and it ain’t [...]
Here’s Why Rick Warren Wasn’t a Bad Choice
Yes, he’s a fairy-tale believing bigot. He says unbelievably stupid things on national television.
But we are never going to win the fight for gay marriage and transform the United States into an inclusive country where gays and lesbians have equal rights until we get all the fairy-tale believing bigots on our side.
I wish it weren’t [...]
A Moment of Gratitude – Just a Moment
Not a whole lot to gripe about during this holiday season.
Well. That’s not entirely true. I got a lot going on, but that’s another post for another time. Right now, I’d like to say that I’m digging family and friends.
I’ve seen families interact throughout the years – some healthy, some dysfunctional. The more people I [...]
Sites I’m Enjoying
The boys at work like to hit Outback when vendors arrive to take us to lunch. No worries. Outback whips up a yummy salad for me upon request – greens, mushrooms, tomatoes, cukes, candied pecans. I top if off with some honey mustard salad dressing and nothing tastes better.
Then I find out that the honey [...]
