Those Damn Kids!!!
July 31, 2007

My God….I have become my mother.
I realized today that young people make me crazy. I was never like this before but somehow along the way, as I’ve aged, I’ve become far less forgiving.
And less tolerant.
And unamused.
No unlike my mother.
This particular rant begins with a shopping venture at a department store. I [...]

Observations Part 1
July 30, 2007

Let me preface this post by saying that I am a fervent supporter of all things University of Texas. I love the Longhorns. Especially the football team.
As I am want to do during every August, I start checking out how the team is shaping up for the [...]

More Things I Love and Loathe
July 27, 2007

1. “Lifetime” made for TV movies.
Hate ‘em. They star the same B-list broads who were by Hollywood standards, only lukewarm at the “height” of their careers, 20-plus years ago. Markie Post, Cheryl Ladd, Melissa Gilbert, Valerie Bertinelli, that older woman attorney from the old TV show, [...]

Music I’m Watching
July 26, 2007

As I continue to sink lower into the depths of hellish unemployment, I find that I while away my hours each day trying to find something/anything to do.
I’m sad to say that mixed in with all my attempts at finding suitable work, I have also become something of a You Tube Whore/Slut/Woman (my apologies for [...]

Just Try This Once…Just Once!
July 25, 2007

OK…I know you’ve seen these things before and I know there’s a mathematical explanation but because I really “did the 70’s and most of the 80’s”, I no longer possess the analytical skills and/or the patience to try and figure this out, so let’s take a second look at the “Ghost Whisperer/Crystal Ball”.
It’s that website [...]

The “Other” Robert Plant.
July 23, 2007

 

Saturday morning.
Time to get up and do stuff. Do my grocery shopping. Run errands…do everything I put off doing during the week. And my “to do” list was a long one. On top of everything else I had to do, I needed to take care of my plants. I have a Day Lilly that’s [...]

How I Beat the Over-Crowded ER Problem
July 23, 2007

Just this morning, I awoke feeling very ill. Nauseated with profuse vomiting. I had an excruciating pain on the left side of my abdomen, plus a high fever. I was praying for sweet death.
I had to go to the emergency room. But I didn’t want the fuss of an ambulance, so I called my friend, [...]

My New Footwear
July 22, 2007

As some of you might know, I currently call Houston home.
It’s the global hub of the petro-chemical industry and one that is dirty, but vital. Energy always is and sure, as a result, our tap water is chunky, urine yellow in color and tastes like a sweaty Teamster’s navel and OK, [...]

Mutatis Mutandis…Usually
July 18, 2007

If you look back over the course of your life and with an emotional finger, you trace the circuitous twists and turns…some routes forged by fate, others by sheer happenstance…you’ll find you’re right where you are. Here.This moment now.
We’re all right where we should be,  where we’re supposed to be.
And exactly how [...]
