Hate is NEVER Funny
0 commentsI caught an interview that was part of a media promotion for a new sitcom. The title horrified me and made my hair explode: I Hate My Teenage Daugher. Before I even have the opportunity to view an episode (it’ll premier November 30th on Fox) I really don’t want it […]
I Had to Wait 2 Months to Calm Down Over This One
0 commentsSo, it’s O.K. to divorce your spouse and “start all over again” with another relationship if said spouse develops Alzheimers – just “make sure she has custodial care.” At least behaving in such a callous, heartless way is o.k. according to 700 Club televangelist Pat Robertson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsaqfP87Z58 But, why stop […]

0 commentsOne thing that makes my hair want to EXPLODE is the fact that politicians cannot – and I seriously mean CANNOT – apparently answer any question posed to them with a direct “yes” or “no” response. It matters not their gender, party affiliation, etc, etc. – they just cannot answer […]
Strengthening the Ties That Bind
0 commentsMy handsome half and I are currently enjoying some time away with friends. I guess you could call it an official vacation. And, he has asked me to post just a short blog to let you know that. Besides taking some time for ourselves, we are also catching up with […]
Enjoying the Job From Hell
0 commentsI speak from personal experience on this topic. In the past I have had not 1 but 3 different jobs that were – and this is an understatement – in different ways and for different reasons like having to work in a living Hell. And for various reasons, except for […]
