I'm laughing because I had every intention of writing about this for a while now but didn't, less i seem to be nitpicking or something! But seeing Gene's article made me decide to! Link I know we all love to write and that's why we are here, the fact that others are able to read and respond to what we write is very intoxicating and quite refreshing! To think that hey, someone is interested in what I wrote, you know what I mean? It gives you a certain feeling of pleasure, doesn't it ...

Joe, where did you go? I hope you're doing OK. Is this goodbye forever? Say it ain't so Joe!

It can be an art form depending on what you find! I mentioned in a past blog that my hubby likes to find things, repair them give them away or keep them for our use. I think he definately can open a store! Recently, a lazy Saturday morning, he came in all excited because of his latest find but we had to HURRY! I grabbed some clothes and rushed outside, his excitement was so catching! Lo and behold, a sofa set with lots of pillows! It was in pretty good shape and since I wanted to get...

I've had it up to here with people who think that just because they are a certain type; gay, flamboyant, loud, holier than though, rich, live in a fancier house, or drive a fancier car than me, it gives them the right to run all over me or anyone else for that matter! So you're er, flamboyant....on the gaydar scale, and we all know it. Does that mean you come in do your little spin, demand all kinds of attention, rather loudly & rudely, when you don't get your way, you run off to the big ...

I didn't realise that I wasn't giving out too many hugs lately. It's surprising the difference a hug makes to the person receiving it and especially to the person giving it! With all the turmoil happening in and around my household, hugs was scarce, even prior to those events! I noticed my little one was becoming extremely belligerent, because she was having a tough time too, trying to make friends with the little girls around our neighborhood who could be so mean because they were ...

I just heard from tonight's news report about a new diet pill, Alli, that promises users will lose up to 50% of the weight they want to lose, faster than any thing else they have ever tried. The draw back to this is there are side effects that are just not so pleasant to deal with. Namely, you better be near the bathroom when you take it. Some people have reported that they sometimes don't get to the bathroom in time! And get this, the warning on the label says, wear dark clothing and tak...

I read recently in the White House Project there was an article in the NY Post that Dan Rather disparage Katie Couric’s anchoring of the CBS News. He said that since Katie Couric took over his old job, “…I think it has become even clearer that the mistake was to try to bring the ‘Today’ ethos to the evening news and to dumb it down, tart it up, in hopes of attracting a younger audience.” The NY Post article also mentioned that he, Rather, has now joined “joined the growing contingent who ...

Due to the climate of political correctness now pervading America, we have to be very careful how we refer to people, the names we call them. There are some things that are just not right when you talk about some people! What with calling all women Hos which is totally wrong if they are not such! Rather, if they are in the business, they should be called the “politically correct” terminology! After all, everyone likes to be looked at with respect! Guys, stop saying yur woman is a...

Some detergent bottles are getting smaller, have you noticed? Each time that I go into our favorite Big W or Wally World, as you guys call it, the detergent bottles are smaller and flatter! Yet I pay the same price! What is up with that? In fact, for a while now most of the items we buy have gotten a makeover. They are packaged in smaller containers but they still cost the same! And although they are in smaller containers, the contents themselves are even smaller than the packagin...

There are times when I get out of my own little world (the noisy world that is inside my head at times) to realise that there are people around me who are having an even harder time than most people. Sometimes I observe the families who shop and see how painful it is that they can only afford to buy certain items and sometimes, not at all. There are people out there who can't seem to get out of the quandary they are in, no matter what. They have become so used to being in the situations ...

Some months ago, I wrote about "A Paperless Society" [I'm about to tell you to go see my article list...I know, it's annoying when you have to do all the work!] but, in that article, I wrote about our society, our world going paperless, at least, we were supposed to have by now but haven't - at least not completely! I've seen other articles written on the subject online and in other Journals. It's still a debatable topic of interest. Recently I had a discussion with some friends about...

I found a good list that I consider doable when it comes to doing small things to help with " Going Green ". Jilluser did an article about it, see the main page of JU, it's been featured, and I also did an article on it a couple of month's ago, and if I'm not mistaken, so did Gideon. [Sorry, please, go search if you're interested in reading each viewpoint, didn't copy to link before I began writig this!] I think it's pretty much a reality that we have to do something to make our world be...

Did you know that when your child goes off to college, your right to know about what is going on with him, mentally and healthwise, ends? If he gets sick, you won't know about it, until it's too late or he or she is dead. If he has mental health issues, issues he or she has never had before, you won't be told about it? That's right, you won't know about it unless your child decides or chooses to tell you. Do you want to know why? Because of the 'Privacy Policies" in place at all Un...
