When you’re accident prone like I am, you have to have a good supply of bandages in the medicine cabinet. Or, in my case, medicine shelf… but that’s another story! See, I’m bandaging my finger right now because there’s a section of skin that keeps cracking open. It started as a paper cut. It almost […]
A journey begins with
A decision. Sometimes that decision needs to be facilitated by some outside force, a push, maybe, that starts things rolling. I visited my doctor in September and shared my difficulties dealing with the weight that I’ve gained and my frustration at not being able to lose any of it. If you’ve been reading this long […]
A Week in Songs
I recently began a journaling exercise. At the end of the day I describe my feelings for the day in a song. I think some of the results are interesting – in many ways. Sometimes the songs have several different aspects to them but I cling to one particular theme that sticks with me more […]
Save Your Basement
We’ve been getting a lot of rain this week. A lot. And we’ve had lots of rain before. And there has been flooding in our basement in the past. 🙁 So our alderperson sent out an email with tips on how to protect your basement from water damage. It’s not guaranteed to alleviate ALL water, […]
Marriage – It’s Not a Matter of Belief
You probably know at least one person who has refrained from getting married because s/he says “I don’t believe in the institution of marriage.” or something similar. While I understand many of the arguments people make for retaining their “single” status indefinitely, I think “not believing” in marriage is, well, a load of crap. I […]
Please Help Me Understand!!!
I’m interested in understanding different viewpoints on our country’s issues. I’m confused about the economy and what’s happened over the last 6-9 months. Last year, under the leadership of GW Bush, our country passed some bailout of about $750 million dollars that went to major banks and businesses that were in trouble. We’re giving help […]
Insanity in the News
Sometimes you’re just in awe at the weirdness and scope of the news. Today is one of those days for me. Here goes. The local Maserati dealership closed (as if every community has one) – after being open for only a few months. I could never have predicted that, with the abounding prosperity everywhere. I […]
Questions, Answers, and Relief
Questions: Why do people insist on driving their vehicles into ours? Why can’t my car door stay closed when I close it so the dome light doesn’t drain the battery? Answers: (to questions that may differ from those listed above) PCOS – at least it’s an answer and now we have a plan IE sucks. […]
Military Recruiters Lie
They do. Maybe not all of them, but some do. I was lied to – I know. I don’t remember the recruiter’s name, but I bet it’s on some of this old paperwork in my filing cabinet. The biggest lie that I was told was that lieing on my application (is that what it is?) […]
Unfortunate Distraction
I was about to go shower this morning, but I heard the people on the Today Show mention that Don Imus was coming back to the radio and I was sufficiently distracted from everything. Unfortunately, I’m sure this news will distract many others from more important things in their lives, as well. For more information, […]
