My great-grandmother was a strong, self-sufficient woman who neither wore pants nor uttered a curse word her 90+ years. She also had a fondness for snuff that I found nasty. She lived in a log cabin in Middle Tennessee. As her children got older they added planks to the sides so that you couldn’t see […]
Since I don’t drink I’m making myself a chocolate-eating game. Every time one of the items below happens this weekend, I’ll have to leave the room and steal a bite of the children’s Halloween chocolates. With Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up, you can change the items to make the game work for you. I get […]
My in-laws are coming, the house isn’t sterilized and they just sent me an email saying they’ll be eating brunch at our house on Sunday! Aaaargh!!

Mr. & Mrs. Felix Unger My in-laws and a narcisstic teen Doug’s sister are coming to visit this weekend and the house is a disaster. There will be much panic, hysteria and general freaking out until the visitors have left.
My beloved glass pig whom I have tossed pocket change into for 20 years has a large crack and must be replaced. This pig has rescued me many times in the past 20 years. I never ceased to be amazed at the amount of money it accumulated. It was there whenever someone lost a tooth […]
My angry and unhappy post – Voters in my state just don’t have the same priorities or concerns that I have. Next election I am going to place a large cash bet on all the candidates I don’t like. For example, one female candidate for Senate has won by a landslide. I attended IDEA hearings […]
Molly got microchipped at the vet today. I told my mother and she asked me why we don’t microchip babies when they are born. I told her that sounded horribly Orwellian even though I know it’s not a new idea. I wouldn’t be opposed to some type of LoJack device that you implant in teens […]
