“ Is it possible to be happy when somewhere in the world someone is dying because they do not have enough food, or have been born with scrambled genes, or their very breath is a political problem? Shouldn’t they over shadow us, those with dreadful lives, unconsciously perhaps? ” Excerpted from “ Revenge of the Middle Aged Woman ” written by Elizabeth Buchan Chapter 3 pg. 27 [I’m currently reading this book] I look at the above statement and I wonder to myself, is this a fai...

I like a nice warm bath. A nice warm bath with lots of bubbles. A nice warm bath with lots of bubbles that smell really good. A nice warm bath with lots of bubbles that smell really, really good! Har, har…let me stop! No really I do enjoy a nice bath. And especially when I take a nice warm, delicious smelling bath with my other half….well, need I say more?! However, I really, really, really, LOVE to take showers! A nice, long, warm, spa-like shower. It gives me time to reflec...

How quickly the dirt and grime appears in your home no matter how often you clean. I don’t clean everyday. I’ll pick up the toys and other stuff littered throughout the apartment by my daughter after she’s gone to bed every night, seven days a week. My oldest girl does the dishes Sunday to Thursday while I do them on the other nights. I do laundry once a week on Sundays, although my hubby washes every day, yes, everyday. I clean every where once a week, vacuum carpet, clean bathroom...

Gone, kaput, pulled! Pluto is no longer a part of the Solar System! Are they nuts?! That’s what I heard recently while listening to the news on the television. (I was too busy to sit and watch so I listened instead) I grew up reciting the names of the planets in the Solar System, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Neptune, Uranus, Pluto…[I’m missing two I know], during my Primary School (Elementary in the US) years they had to be recited in order of discovery too, but not for this blog!...

Make it stop! The phrase won't go away! They kept advertising Scarface on Cable last night and that's all I've been saying all day today! Even now as I write! Gahhhhh! I'll tune in for the re-run of Scarface again, it's a good movie! But for the life of me, that's all they keep showing, that scene with him saying....yep.... "Say Hello to my little friend"!!!!!! Aw well...you guys have a great weekend. Say hello...nope...it ends here!

My eldest daughter recently attended her high school Homecoming. It was a happy and rewarding outcome for her and a hectic and breath of relief for me. She’s a Junior in high school and is on the Junior/Senior Committee and she could not miss the big event. She, along with her friends on the committee planned the entire homecoming event. The theme they decided on was Old Hollywood and since the event was being held in the school gym, which recently had new floors, no high heels woul...

Once again someone's life is in jeopardy because of the ruling handed down by a judge who just didn't give a damn! Yvette Cade was set on fire by her husband. She is now fighting for her life! Ms. Cade went to the Courts to extend an Order of Protection she had against her abusive husband. She wanted Judge Richard Palumbo to even grant her a divorce but he wouldn’t. I heard the tape on television this morning and he wasn’t even considerate to her, he sounded really condescending! ...

So says the Rock , wrestling star and currently the star of the movie Doom . In a recent interview about the movie, which is now open at the theatres, he said (not verbatim) that he wasn’t sure about doing the movie because as a game it was very scary and re-telling it as a movie might be too much for the general audience who didn’t know it. However, when he thought about it a true Sci-Fi fan would not be scared. When the Director of the movie was interviewed, he said the same th...

From an Email I received, too funny not to share! [begin re-print] This is hysterical! Make sure you read the whole thing. There is a serious message at the end, but you get to laugh on the way there. For years and years they told me, Be careful of your breasts. Don't ever squeeze or bruise them. And give them monthly tests. So I heeded all their warnings, And protected them by law. Guarded them very carefully, And I always wore my bra. After 30 years of astute...

[Inspired from an article written by Kathleen Parker, “It’s time to Retire Hitler”.] I have noticed this happening a lot lately even before reading Ms. Parker’s article in my local paper. Politicians are invoking the name of Hitler when they want to insult their opponents. His name is mentioned so much that you can Google it and receive quite a lot of responses! That’s how popular Hitler as become, even today. Studying the rise and fall of Hitler is important because doing so wi...

You can say whatever you want about Oprah but she puts her money where her mouth is (to coin a phrase) and she gets things done. She doesn’t just pay lip service. If there’s a need she will use her celebritydom and her wealth to do something about it. Her most recent accomplishment was the arrest of two wanted criminals. Link Oprah for Congress, now that’s a ticket I would vote on! (and at the time of this posting, another one has been caught!)
